Good for you! I've gotta go out and buy new pants & shorts soon, dropped from 325 lb to ~250 in the last year and some change, purely because I replaced my habit of snacking while bored with :2bong:. (E: did this, down to a 40 waist from 48!) Also started therapy and meds in the last month, and gonna buy some running shoes and walk/jog a couple laps around my neighborhood's lake every morning (now that the weather is no longer trying to kill us). Also my sleep schedule used to be like 6 am to 3 pm, now it's usually 10p-6a. I'd forgotten what mornings were like.

Also dogs:

Lucy and Cookie, my dad's.


Hercules, roommate's.

At the risk of being too off-topic for the thread, was there a loan taken out for the property? Are you on the loan? If so, I would be absolutely shocked that whoever loaned you for the condo would do this, because the risk-factors of you not being able to pay is skyrocketing due to this.

My wife's parents paid for this condo for some kind of real estate speculation and we're just kind of stuck in the middle, but my wife's got the mortgage in her name. It's not paid down all the way, no. We couldn't even afford rent on our own anywhere else in LA (no incomes right now), so we're stuck here. It's been 2 months so far

I uh, think the only way you win this is to get a lawyer and document everything.

I think so too but our effort to document everything is tough because we used a public adjuster (PA) to represent us in our fight. That seemed like a good move back before we won relocation. So it was on them to document everything, they'd need to be heavily involved if we sue, and they just... don't seem interested* unless they get subpoena'd. If our PA isn't spearheading the case themselves then I feel like insurance could just claim totally unchallenged that everything was the fault of our PA for miscommunicating in some way we weren't privy to.

*Our PA refused to "take our case" or refer one of their own lawyers for us, because they said the amounts are too low (they suggested small claims instead, lmao). Sure, the amount they shorted us is maybe as low as 10k. But come on, we can ask for more. What about punitive damages for breaking the law, pain and suffering from living in construction, the stress of having to needlessly live on a 30 day notice to vacate every day for 1.5 years, the inability to make any plans to travel or commitments for 1.5 years, vet bills from when we moved and the cat got in the way and got injured, medical bills from when I got an ear infection from earplugs trying to block the sound out.

It seems like something above could add up to enough for a lawyer to care, but unless our PA is behind it seems so risky, and such a big waste of time to try to make the case to other lawyers one by one if they're each just likely to say no. We can't pay a lawyer and most that I've dealt with in the past are not interested in doing anything on commission. Am I wrong to give up so easily?

We're just trying our best to deal with it out of pocket and move on, if we can, unless we're wrong about that.

Sorry again for the derail, just trying to get a little reassurance and an infusion of happy from y'all, and posting the tweet in the hopes that their public relations people watch twitter and the company at least catches some shame for this.

Try not to give up. The system is to some extent banking on the fact that people are afraid to fight it. If you show up with documentation and keep calling their secretaries with it you'll start to get seen as a problem to be solved, and it's often easier and cheaper to pay off claimants than crush them.

Ilhan is an amazing person in general.

I can't imagine how much discrimination and prejudice she has faced for just being herself and all of the pressure being placed on her on a daily basis since her election, but she truly cares about everyone. Her ability to remain consistently strong and on-message against that is pretty powerful.

It's because of stuff like the scene of her returning home and there being like 500 randos from her constituency screaming how much they love her. She understands that a bunch of angry old white people yelling at her is a symptom of DC and the CHUDS, not a symptom of the people she represents and cares about.

We're not?
I still agree. going home and seeing people are happy and love you is great but she slogged through death threats and the like as well before she was elected. She’s a very strong lady and it can’t be easy. But I guess growing up as she did kind of turns down the volume on the racist poo poo we can manage to pile onto a person. And if she can make it out of her childhood and still have faith in humanity, I can’t imagine anything would break it.

I can't find it anymore but there was a story in the Minnesota press about Omar getting beaten up in a fight that broke out at (iirc) a campaign event for a Dem they were trying to primary. Much like "AOC the bartender", chuds just assume she showed up to Congress one day all starry-eyed and with zero credentials, and they do it at their own peril.
