IsambardPrinceschestowitz[TR2]: The Lobster is active again?Aug 09 03:55
IsambardPrinceYou know some people ask if it's acceptable to punch a Nazi. I say, sure if it's an actual Nazi.Aug 09 03:55
IsambardPrinceWhat about some man in blue lipstick who made sick remarks about a cat?Aug 09 03:56
IsambardPrinceIs it acceptable to punch?Aug 09 03:56
IsambardPrinceDid Congress anticipate this?Aug 09 03:56
IsambardPrinceI feel like after they get done deciding if you can buy a rotisserie chicken with a food stamp card, they should pass another law that says it's illegal to punch someone unless they make a sick remark about your pet cat.Aug 09 03:57
IsambardPrinceThey spent millions on Lobster's plastic surgery and hormone pills.Aug 09 03:58
IsambardPrinceAnd he's still no woman, baby. That's a man, man!Aug 09 03:58
IsambardPrinceThey need to give him some strong antipsychotics.Aug 09 03:58
IsambardPrinceYou know, Buzz Aldrin punched a guy who said he didn't land on the moon.Aug 09 03:59
IsambardPrinceThis state is ran by pussies who have a phobia of guns.Aug 09 04:01
IsambardPrinceIn Indiana I usually had a gun on me.Aug 09 04:01
IsambardPrinceHere you technically have to unload it and store it in a box separately from ammunition to ride a bus.Aug 09 04:01
IsambardPrinceMeanwhile, the nasty little gangbangers get on the bus.Aug 09 04:01
IsambardPrinceThey don't have a FOID card, they don't unload shit. They might unload it into someone on the bus.Aug 09 04:02
IsambardPrinceBut they're not unloading it before they get on the bus and putting it in a box approved by the state police.Aug 09 04:02
IsambardPrinceDemocrats are retards.Aug 09 04:02
IsambardPrinceThe Republicans are worse than that somehowAug 09 04:02
MinceRwe are a failed speciesAug 09 04:02
MinceRwith a failed societyAug 09 04:02
IsambardPrinceMinceR: There are three occasions when it's acceptable for a man to cry.Aug 09 04:04
IsambardPrinceWhen looking at the grand canyon.Aug 09 04:04
IsambardPrinceThe death of a friend or close family member.Aug 09 04:04
IsambardPrinceThe death of a beloved cat.Aug 09 04:04
IsambardPrinceCat's are uniquely awesome among animals.Aug 09 04:05
IsambardPrince*catsAug 09 04:05
IsambardPrinceVery few dogs are.Aug 09 04:05
IsambardPrinceThe default setting for dog is maladjusted dangerous thing that shits everywhere.Aug 09 04:05
IsambardPrinceThere's exceptions, but the odds are against you.Aug 09 04:06
MinceRindeedAug 09 04:06
IsambardPrinceMinceR: I told my therapist about the gun thing.Aug 09 04:07
IsambardPrinceAnd how much I hate this state.Aug 09 04:07
IsambardPrinceI said that when I was driving home from taking Mandy to work years ago during a winter storm, there was a Husky dog that was dragging himself down the road.Aug 09 04:07
IsambardPrinceIt had been struck by a car.Aug 09 04:07
IsambardPrinceI turned around and put my flashers on and blocked the road and threw a blanket over the dog and called 911.Aug 09 04:08
MinceRand then the dog mauled you?Aug 09 04:08
IsambardPrinceThe police eventually got out there with animal control but they told me they had to put the dog down in the end.Aug 09 04:08
IsambardPrinceIf this had been Indiana, I would have had the gun with me and I would have shot the dog.Aug 09 04:08
MinceRah, i guess it mauled an officerAug 09 04:08
IsambardPrinceNot to be mean, but because there's nothing else to do at that point.Aug 09 04:08
IsambardPrinceIt's been crushed. It's sitting there barely alive in great pain, in the snow.Aug 09 04:09
IsambardPrinceIf I had a gun I would have shot the dog and it wouldn't have had to suffer for another hour and a half.Aug 09 04:09
IsambardPrinceInstead I had to stand there and wait while things moved at the speed of government.Aug 09 04:10
MinceR:>Aug 09 04:10
IsambardPrinceMinceR: I understand why that guy in Starship Troopers said "I'd expect any one of you to do the same for me."Aug 09 04:14
IsambardPrinceI hope that  if I'm taking forever to die, in awful pain, that someone will end it.Aug 09 04:14
MinceRa nice thing to hope forAug 09 04:14
MinceRnot very realistic on a planet dominated by apes who fetishize suffering and sell it as being "pro-life"Aug 09 04:15
IsambardPrinceMinceR: I filled out a living will to that end before my surgery last year.Aug 09 04:16
IsambardPrinceIt said if something horrible were to happen and I was in a persistent vegetative state, do not take any measure to prolong my life.Aug 09 04:16
IsambardPrinceAnd nobody had the power to overrule that once I signed it.Aug 09 04:16
IsambardPrinceNot the doctors, not my mom, not Mandy.Aug 09 04:16
MinceRwhat about someone like rick santorum?Aug 09 04:18
IsambardPrinceIt's not right to leave that sort of thing to chance. Kick it off to a grieving mother or a spouse that didn't truly understand what a living hell it would be. Or a judge that doesn't know me.Aug 09 04:18

IsambardPrinceThe poison bait traps definitely help. They don't really trap anything, they're not supposed to.Aug 09 05:08
IsambardPrinceThey let the roach feed and then walk on out to go share, then they all die, then more feed on them.Aug 09 05:08
IsambardPrinceThe last thing the exterminator wants is a dead roach cascade.Aug 09 05:09
IsambardPrinceSo while they're out there doing a 15 minute chemical spray, they ruin your bait.Aug 09 05:09
IsambardPrinceI'm not sure whether it's sabotage or what.Aug 09 05:09
IsambardPrinceThey also ration the sticky traps, which are very cheap and scale well.Aug 09 05:10
IsambardPrinceThey give you like 6--8 which isn't enough to put much of a dent in the roach population.Aug 09 05:10

schestowitz[TR2]let's get back to techAug 09 05:31
IsambardPrinceschestowitz[TR2]: Landlords use "tech" now.Aug 09 05:33
IsambardPrinceThen they complain about the "tech".Aug 09 05:33
IsambardPrinceThere's an entire subreddit of them complaining about the Yardi "software".Aug 09 05:33
IsambardPrince(SaaS)Aug 09 05:33
IsambardPrinceAnd how dumb and stupid it is and how it makes something that  should be on a spreadsheet so difficult to manage.Aug 09 05:33
IsambardPrinceThey use it to blast fish for confessions by making it look like the whole floor of an apartment building is the only unit to get a noise complaint.Aug 09 05:34
IsambardPrinceThey do shitty landlording wholesale now.Aug 09 05:34
IsambardPrinceIt's really diabolical if you think about it. When the police don't know who did what, they separate everyone.Aug 09 05:37
schestowitz[TR2]what is yardi for?Aug 09 05:37
IsambardPrinceNo time to get the stories straight.Aug 09 05:37
IsambardPrince[23:37] <schestowitz[TR2]> what is yardi for?Aug 09 05:37
IsambardPrince"Tenant Lifecycle Management"Aug 09 05:37
IsambardPrinceEverything from credit and criminal checks to automatic rifling through your bank accounts to see if you really make money.Aug 09 05:37
IsambardPrinceIt checks all of the sex offender lists in the nation.Aug 09 05:38
IsambardPrinceIt checks every eviction court record in the nation.Aug 09 05:38
IsambardPrinceIt does a lot of things.Aug 09 05:38
IsambardPrinceSome of them have minor positive benefits for the tenants.Aug 09 05:38
IsambardPrinceLike if the landlord wants to enforce a strict "no felons and no sex offenders" policy, good luck hiding from Yardi.Aug 09 05:39
IsambardPrinceBut that's a side effect.Aug 09 05:39
IsambardPrinceThey don't care if you are safe, they care insofar as they don't want some dude next door who is gonna pull your kid in there and rape them.Aug 09 05:39
IsambardPrinceIt's liability for the landlord if they do.Aug 09 05:39
IsambardPrinceSo they have a financial interest in keeping pedophiles out of their apartments.Aug 09 05:40
IsambardPrinceHonestly, I think it's a good thing that landlords are getting so strict about that.Aug 09 05:40
IsambardPrincePart of the punishment of being a pedophile should be that life gets so hard after a conviction that even though the state has no death sentence, you'll kill yourself.Aug 09 05:40
IsambardPrinceSo if Yardi is dialing up the pressure, that's a plus.Aug 09 05:40

schestowitz[TR2]<IsambardPrince> "Tenant Lifecycle Management"Aug 09 05:47
schestowitz[TR2]Lifecycle?Aug 09 05:47
IsambardPrinceIt's landlord speak.Aug 09 05:47
IsambardPrinceIn their view the apartment is either vacant or occupied and the tenant is either paying or not paying.Aug 09 05:48
IsambardPrinceIn between tenants, they come in, clean, slap a coat of paint down, and throw in a roach grenade.Aug 09 05:48
IsambardPrinceThen it's ready for a new tenant.Aug 09 05:48

IsambardPrinceOr the mechanics who slap your car back together with another $1,000 repair bill every few months.Aug 09 05:51
IsambardPrinceWhen people have to buy something, there's no incentive to treat the customer fairly or try to help them contain costs or provide excellent service.Aug 09 05:52

IsambardPrinceThey had CareCredit everywhere.Aug 09 05:56
IsambardPrinceShe told me "I have to tell you the options. We could keep her here as an inpatient and rehydrate her and do a bunch of other things, but it's going to be very expensive and it's unlikely that she'd live much longer."Aug 09 05:56
IsambardPrinceShe told me "Don't feel bad. You didn't do anything wrong. You tried a lot of things in the last month and it's not working. A lot of people get here because cats are just really good at hiding their pain."Aug 09 05:58

IsambardPrinceShe was "just a cat", but she was the best cat I've ever seen. She had protective instincts to the point where she wouldn't even attack a toy mouse.Aug 09 06:01

IsambardPrinceschestowitz[TR2]: I understand what CareCredit is there to do.Aug 09 06:05

IsambardPrinceIf you have a bunch of people who go "I can't pay that." you can't profit off them.Aug 09 06:06
IsambardPrinceSo what Synchrony Bank does is they have this 32.99% APR deferred interest crap.Aug 09 06:06
IsambardPrinceIt sounds like a kindness, but banks are not kind.Aug 09 06:06

IsambardPrinceAmEx works with collection agencies to continue to pursue uncollectable debt where all legal avenues of recovery are gone. They toss out a very stiff offer like "We might reinstate your Gold Card with a $5,000 spending limit if you hand us $10,000."Aug 09 19:20
IsambardPrince Aug 09 19:20
IsambardPrinceThere's no risk at all to the bank. They get $10,000 and probably get you in trouble again with 28% interest on $5,000. That's what we call a win-win. They're happy to tell the IRS "We recovered the money and are declaring a profit now."Aug 09 19:20

IsambardPrinceMinceR: Max the barber used to charge $5 for a men's haircut in the 90s.Aug 09 23:30
IsambardPrinceIt's like $40 for a men's haircut now.Aug 09 23:30
IsambardPrinceIt's a mixture of government at work and corporate extraction.Aug 09 23:30
IsambardPrinceMax didn't need a license from the state back then.Aug 09 23:31
IsambardPrinceHe kept his overhead low by owning the storefront and not doing women's hairstyles.Aug 09 23:31
IsambardPrinceThere was no government mandate for him to take "domestic violence recognition classes".Aug 09 23:32
IsambardPrinceHe didn't have big screen TVs, just the newspaper and some magazines.Aug 09 23:32
IsambardPrinceThere was no "app", you just went in and asked if he had time for you.Aug 09 23:32
IsambardPrinceAnd there was no credit card terminal.Aug 09 23:32
IsambardPrinceBack then, hair was sort of segregated. If you wanted a simple men's haircut you went to Max for $5.Aug 09 23:34
IsambardPrinceIf you wanted women's hairstyles, you went to Ginger Lee's or Sears and paid like $60.Aug 09 23:34
IsambardPrinceThese days you just have to go somewhere that can do women's hairstyles that take longer and are more complicated.Aug 09 23:35
IsambardPrinceThey average it out, stuff in "cost of doing business" fees like the credit card terminals, state licensing, and so on.Aug 09 23:35
IsambardPrinceThen just for good measure, on your way out from paying $40 and a tip, they try to sell "products".Aug 09 23:36
IsambardPrinceYou can get the exact same "products" from Amazon or even Walmart sometimes for half the cost, so how does this even still work?Aug 09 23:37
IsambardPrinceThey have things like "Vidal Sassoon Tea Tree Oil" shampoo and conditioner.Aug 09 23:38
IsambardPrinceI love it, I hate the price.Aug 09 23:38
IsambardPrinceWalmart sells their version as "Equate". It's less than half.Aug 09 23:38
IsambardPrinceI had to break my partner of expensive habits like this.Aug 09 23:39
IsambardPrinceHe was going through Walmart grabbing things like Aveeno lotion. I put it right back and grabbed "Equate - Compare to Aveeno".Aug 09 23:39
