These people moved from Arizona to Chicago, bought a bunch of furniture because they moved in a car. They decided to take the train one stop to chipotle instead is driving, for the experience. They got yelled at by a homeless person and that caused them to move back to Arizona after not even 1 night in their apartment.

They broke their lease for the temporary apartment and their long term apartment, drove “2 or 3 days back” that night

This reminds me of the idiot who got mcscrooged by a rednick run puppy mill. Guy and his family drive 8 hours (one way) to get a dog (worth 3k), negotiates on the phone for a lower price but the redneck changes their mind and ups the price by $1k because she knew he drove 8 hours to get it. I wish I can find that post.

Is this a form of temporary insanity or assholery? Either she honestly believed OP knew about the deal (somehow, maybe OP is a mind reader?) and was taking care of payments OR she's a manipulative rear end in a top hat who wants to guilt sister into taking care of the debt. Either way, wow. I'd watch out the poor dane doesn't go missing.

Also from a while back, a related story:

Chicago has the best homeless people. There's one by my work that screams at garbage cans and seems to always have a new guitar. I've never seen him play it, but he did throw it at a garbage truck once.

The one I lived with liked to do sprinting laps of the very large yard, so YMMV.

Danes are large, yes -- but they tend to not be hyperactive. They need regular exercise, but a fenced yard is not an absolute requirement. You can responsibly and successfully raise a Great Dane in a townhouse or large apartment. Anything over 1200 sq ft should suffice, assuming two adults and no children. They are predisposed to health issues, as many large breeds are. You'll want to have disposable income and an emergency fund for vet visits and preventative care. Big Dogs are BWM, but so very GWL.

Big dogs are GWM because they're only around for like 6 or 7 years and they're the most loving and amazing dogs out there. Next to Labs of course. Might I suggest a Mastador? Best of both worlds. And they look awesome:

I one time saw a homeless man take a bottle of hooch out of a small paper bag, open the paper bag up, drop his pants and squat over the paper bag, poop directly into the paper bag with out looking, wipe himself with the bag when he was done, and then toss the whole thing into some bushes. That's the caliber and level of skill I expect from my homeless population.

Chicago is like going pro for the homeless. If you can't operate like that in subzero weather, then you better cut your homeless teeth in the minors like Portland or Seattle or something.

I've never actually been to Chicago except as a layover and I'm not entirely sure it exists outside the airport. Like I know no one personally who is from there and the combination of hot sweaty summers and heart-stopping cold just doesn't seem realistic. Chicago just exists so New Yorkers have something to feel superior about.

If it does exist then you could probably weaponize their homeless people.

I can assure you it exists but the winters are not cold at all anymore due to global warming. There was literally no snow accumulation at all December-February last year.

I wouldn't get too complacent because extra snowfall is one of the symptoms of global warming. Temps may be higher, but so is precipitation.

What I'm getting at is it may be GWM to keep the homeless on your side since they'll be the ones who control the snow tunnels.

We had that one day where there was 2" that hung around for 26 hours. Then the temp immediately went into the 40's and it rained. I'm loving global warming so far. It's a problem for my niece and nephew to deal with, but for me it's an extra month of women in sundresses and winters that don't drop below 20.

We had some brief snowfall(that didn't stick) and low-30s temps a couple weeks ago, and that was noteworthy...when that would have been 100% normal(and maybe even a bit warm) for mid-November in the past.

Of course, the flip side is that our summers are getting even hotter and grosser.

Intuitively, it doesn’t seem like something you’d be able to succeed at in America if you weren’t white, simply because of the demographics involved and how many people you’d need to sucker in and how you’d need to portray yourself.

Hey remember when that Twitch streamer got busted for cheating on his taxes and tried to blame literally everyone but himself? Yeah it's Darksydephil's turn at somehow managing to gently caress up playing videogames for a living.

DSP Tries It: Not Paying His Taxes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WHA6pYcsTgk

Watch as phil tries to due his standard nothing is ever my fault bullshit except this time instead of blaming lag or lovely AI or the developers of a videogame he blames his tax attorney and the laws of the state of Washington!

Choice BWM/BWL bits:

-moved to Washington state and never registered as a business

-has not payed state taxes for 3 years on said business

-https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WHA6pYcsTgk&t=350s "I look at this and this is bullshit like I don't owe my own business I don't legally there is no business out there that's called DSP Gaming"

APRIL 20TH 2017
"in addition there's tons of tax write-offs for the self-employed for example anything that I buy that's related to the business: a videogame, this controller, the cost of ink for the printer...the cost of electricity in the house, the cost of internet in the house...meaning I will not have to pay taxes for the amount of money of stuff that I spend on the business"

PRESENT DAY
"There's no business called DSP Gaming"


-government got an anonymous tip about phil's nonexistent business

-CT tax attorney tells phil that he thinks he should get a new attorney familiar with WA tax laws

-"I told him absolutely not you're responsible for this" (he's not responsible for this)

-"I'm strapped for cash I'm literally living paycheck to paycheck"

-pays for $800 retainer fee of new tax attorney with credit card

-phil owes thousands and thousands of back taxes even before penalties are assessed

-https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WHA6pYcsTgk&t=684s "There's nothing I could do to pay you it would just go delinquent" phil I don't think you understand how owing money to the US government works

-https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WHA6pYcsTgk&t=792s "I did nothing wrong, I did everything correct, legally everything was right"

-wat am i suppose to do

God how do these guys keep managing to gently caress up the easiest gig in life possible

Because it's so easy that it never dawns on them that they might need to do things like "pay taxes properly" or "get off their asses for a day and find a tax attorney familiar with their state's laws".

Well, that and their gig comes with a horde of yes-men constantly assuring them that they've done no wrong and anyone who says otherwise is a hater.
