Excuse me, but they actually got recategorized as apatosaurus and :goonsay:

I wonder how much the truck cost in the first place. I know that interest rate plus that loan length means they were paying approximately jack poo poo on the principal, but I'd have a lot less sympathy if they bought a shiny new brotruck instead of a used work truck that could do the same job.

Don't rent to family. Don't be an absentee landlord. Don't rent without a detailed, well put together lease.

Can a tenant decide rent is considered paid based on personal circumstances?

:munch:

I decree with my legal training that everyone involved in a terrible person.

-Don't practice in AZ but the lease expired so you probably have an ongoing month to month tenancy. I'm sure AZ has some version of a notice to vacate Dad can serve DIL with X number of days notice. Will probably need to evict because she sounds crazy.
-Dad needs to figure out that DIL isn't ever going to pay him a dime and cut his losses.
-DIL sounds insufferable based on that pseudo legal letter and spousal abuse.
-Son sounds insufferable based on spousal/stove abuse. What the hell are they even doing to all these appliances?
-There's an excellent chance the insurance Dad has on the house is his standard homeowner's insurance instead of landlord insurance for a rental property. They probably aren't going to be happy to learn about this situation.
-Insurance companies aren't Judge Judy. If it's not specifically covered in the agreement then they're not paying. Even if it is covered in the agreement they still might not pay. They're definitely not paying a third party in some surprise landlord-tenant relationship they just found out about.
-Landlord's insurance typically covers the building, not the tenant's stuff. That's why tenants need renter's insurance.

No, because you say "THAT IS RACIST!!!" based on your own opinion, never addressing whether something is true or not.
Also, because you're a mentally ill person.

When someone pulls out the "THAT'S RACIST YOU'RE RACIST" in a discussion, the discussion is pretty much over.

Plus if history serves me correctly, thousands of years of racism has, by and large, been GWM (at least for the dominant side). So the subject has no place in this thread.

Holy poo poo shut the gently caress up FYI derail bird happens because of derails and don't think it exists for any other reason.

Have some delicious clearance adjudication for this BWM thread dying of BWM-thirst.

quote:

In December 2005, while he was working on a temporary assignment in his hometown, some 345 miles from his permanent duty location, without any assurances that the assignment would become long-term, Applicant purchased a residence for $114,900. The financial problems associated with the national economic crisis subsequently resulted in massive layoffs in his field. It also terminated his anticipated relocation. Applicant was able to sustain his first and second mortgages while his sister resided in the residence. Once she moved out and he was unable to locate renters, the financial burden began as he was required to make his monthly mortgage payments in addition to his rent payments. The burden was simply too great. Applicant tried selling the residence, but three short-sales fell through when the first mortgage lender refused to agree to the sales. The residence remained vacant for nearly eight months. The first mortgage holder foreclosed on the mortgage, and in May 2014, the property was sold at public auction for $20,100. No deficiency judgment was pursued. Applicant still owes the second mortgage holder the unpaid balance of that mortgage, but Applicant's attorney is attempting to work with his second mortgage creditor in an effort to settle the outstanding balance. Applicant has no other delinquent accounts. Applicant's actions under the circumstances do not cast doubt on his current reliability, trustworthiness, and good judgment. Eligibility is granted.

Insanely bad decisions but at least he came out of (mostly) alright?

Yeah TB I think you're generally a good poster though I think you'd help yourself out if you posted a source whenever you call someone out for being a racist or whatever. Like I agree with your reasoning most of the time and appreciate that you do it (and think more posters should, honestly) I just think that without a source people easily dismiss it as ~SJW screeching~ or whatever

Whenever I see someone scream "Racism!" as a first resort, I am reminded of a post I read on another forum stating that Trevor from GTA V was a good person, solely because he was critical of the SAPD's treatment of African Americans.

The cannibal, career criminal, serial killer and bank robber Trevor.

Infinitely shallow and one dimensional viewpoints notwithstanding, have some content.

CONTENT:

In conversation with my friend recently, he mentioned that his idiot boss at a popular hot springs around here stood by and did absolutely nothing when a bookkeeper embezzled AU$6 MILLION, and fled to Canada in her own good time.

Said boss refuses to hire any relatively unskilled positions, such as cleaning staff, that don't have a ludicrous amount of experience (5+ years) in a similar job, and when he does hire someone, they are usually ranging from bone idle to perpetually drunk. All of the new staff last about two weeks before absconding into the ether, never to return.

Still, this means my friend's position is ironclad, so it's not all bad.

EDIT: He also told me that when he went down to the bank to sort out "some stuff", they repeatedly tried to offer him loans for new cars / holidays. I thought the days of ultra-easy credit ended in 2008.

If citations would sway the kind of person who screeches "SJW!" at the first hint of criticism there wouldn't be any racists left. There are no cites for common racist stumbling blocks like "black people are human" anyway. Either you respect the humanity of other people and are open to improving how you express that respect, or you aren't.

gently caress fugu. we were spear fishing one weekend hoping to get any kind of fish to complement our meat exclusive bbq and kept catching fugu. the one thing we can't eat.

on that topic, fishing and foraging on camping trips is insanely gwm. once we were exploring a severely depopulated island and stumbled upon an abandoned shiitake mushroom farm and collected a ton of high quality and obviously as fresh as possible shiitakes, and had the local lady cook it for us with our dinner. i still got the pics saved:

Actual BWM: a coworker has said they have to get a new truck/SUV despite their long commute, because they want to be able to tow a camper. This coworker is on a small salary and a camper definitely shouldn't be on their wishlist.

I think that I may not necessarily fit the formal criteria.

It is not about being edgy, since that is about seeking the approval of others (which I generally do not value). It is about securing your self-interest in all aspects, whether in your career or financial security.

Or are you going to argue that securing your own self-interest is not logical or justifiable? Securing one's self-interest is going to be rather difficult for you to make fun of. It is honest, sincere and heartfelt. What is not to get? I have enough. I want more.



Edit:
