Jaeluni Asjil posted:one of the other guys took to collecting all that guys dirty pans etc, going in 'dirty guy's' room, pulling back his bed covers and dumping the dirty pans all over his sheets. It escalated from there on in. I used to live with a guy who never washed up and left plates in his room to the point we got an infestation of fruit flies. We demanded he clean up so he put all his trash in a bin bag and just left it in the hall outside his room. After asking him to put it in the bin for over a week a couple of us decided to put the bin big inside his door as a gentle reminder, then went to the pub. Long story short, we got home and he'd melted the gently caress down and strewn all the contents all over the whole floor of the house (thank god we'd locked our individual rooms) then proceeded to scream and spit at and try to fight everyone at once, then locked himself back in his room and called the police saying we were trying to kill him. Fun times!

We went to London to get Mrs Llamas a passport (had to go to a consulate) and were horrified how casual people were behaving compared to Edinburgh. I had been a bit sceptical when Sturgeon brought in compulsory masks seemingly late in the game but seeing how things are down there has me fully 100% behind it. Also the train journey was awesome because usually the east coast line is so crowded but was so quiet.

blunt posted:Did you have any conversations with him about the household dynamic before he moved in? Thanks for the responses! I talked to him a bit before just to say no house partys and I tend to like doing stuff together, both of which he agreed to. I just find the messiness to be an issue - I've talked to him about it several times, it goes alright for a few days then falls off again. Or he sort of half tidies up, like putting the recycling in the wrong place, then I still have to tidy up. I hate the idea I'm having to nag someone to mop up their piss if they go to the toilet or take the bins out like, once in a few months would be good - and I never thought I'd be the person to suggest a cleaning rota, though I'm edging towards that? I also worry about his health a bit as he's become quite a round pale boy and sometimes I hear him crying (though he says he's alright?) I like his character, its just his behaviour gets to me and I don't want to feel like his mum. I'd love to just blast metal and get pissed and have my friends over but I don't, though I'm wondering if maybe I should? When I do check-in with him now and then he says he's happy living here but I sort of want him to move out one day, not have his flesh welded to his bed.

Terrible flatmate chat: Had one flatmate that didn't change his bedsheets in an entire year. He would open his room door and it would fill the top floor with a smell that I can only describe as rotten roast beef. The other flatmate was a goon and his entire room was strewn with clothes and plates. Over the course of a couple weeks he'd slowly pull all the plates, cups and cutlery into his room. We'd complain and he'd take it all into the sink, run hot water over it, then get too stressed to deal and move home for a week. He used to constantly buy a dish from Marks and Spencer called roman hunters lamb and let it rot on his plates. To this day 15 years later I still can't handle the smell of lamb in gravy. He completely trashed his room and left it smelling like rotten milk, but moved out before us and got his deposit back, we were saddled with the bill and all lost our deposits.

Fun times! Why do people do that?! Reminds me of when I first moved to Edinburgh and lived for a couple of months with a guy from Cambridge who was a chemical engineer and one of the most idiotic people I've ever met. When we first met he didn't know what Northern Ireland was. He thought I was from abroad. It wasn't long before I realised that one component of the horrific musk emanating from his room was from several basins lined up against one wall in which he put all his dirty dishes - pots and everything. Every Sunday he did all his washing up at once and utterly flooded the kitchen every time. Like he got water at the other end of the huge Victorian kitchen somehow. I could probably write a small book about his quirks - I suppose being generous you could call them that. The last straw was the first time I had my ex around for dinner and for reasons known only to housemate he came down while we were chatting at the kitchen table waiting for food to cook and took a very long, loud, splattering poo poo in the small toilet right off the hall outside the kitchen despite there being a toilet upstairs

It’s funny. From my memory of being educated in a Catholic school, the reason for Judas betraying Jesus are many. In some iteration it is for the money. In other’s it was because Jesus asked him to do so. In others, he did so due to a disagreement with Jesus over his teachings. The point is, the money is often not Judas’ goal. But a concrete expression and reminder of his betrayal which causes guilt. Of course it then changes depending on your nerd beliefs. Either Judas ends up in a Frozen Lake, as a vampire or a Superhero.

Is it just the two of you in the house and you have separate contracts and the agent/landlord just moved him in to a free room that a previous tenant vacated? I'm kind of assuming that's the setup, in which case it might be a bit rubbish for you that you didn't get the ideal flatmate for you but not really much you can or should do?

blunt posted:A terrible story with an important lesson: never be the last person to move out of a shared house. This. Not sure if I posted this in here before, but I have a good story on how I dodged a few thousand bill our estate agent tried to lump me with. Thankfully our place wasn't trashed, just general wear and tear, but the estate agents were notorious scumbags. So a few weeks before the move out date, two people came to the door. Sharon was a rep of the estate agent. Power suit, clipboard, and everything. Second person was a man in overalls, who I was never told the name of. He was the official 'handyman' for the houses owned by the estate agent. In all the years staying there, we never saw him when we needed help. Sharon stayed with me and just chatted, while the handyman did a review of the house. He came back, they went and talked for a few minutes and Sharon came back with 'Ooooooo we are going to have to charge you a few hundred for this, that, that, that, this, and she reamed off a few things. There was some items that needed replacing, but she was saying stuff that the whole carpet needed replacing when it didn't. I was like a deer in headlights. She mentioned that the deposit wouldn't be enough to cover it all, and when they returned at the last day they will give me a final bill. So for the next month I was making GBS threads myself worried how the gently caress I was meant to pay for this. On the moving out day, it was a blue sky very hot day. Sharon arrived alone, but she was in a tshirt and jeans only, no suit like before. First thing she asked was if I still had that bottle of wine in the fridge. I mentioned last time there was free stuff in the fridge left by the others that I wasn't going to take. I got it, and we sat outside on the wall and drank a glass each. She then said 'That bastard Michael (owner of the estate agents) got his mistress pregnant, and to pay her he has to get rid of a few of us. This is my last day'. 'I'm meant to give you this bill here, but I won't get a penny from it, so gently caress him. Just give me the key and you can go.' I said sorry to hear, gave her the key, and hosed the right out of there. Few months later I get a call from Michael himself asking where my last few months rent was. I told him I moved out, Sharon sorted it out. Seems from what I have heard since the new tenants did a runner after trashing the place after a mad party. And Michael was probably trying to get me to pay for it.

The Question IRL posted:It’s funny. From my memory of being educated in a Catholic school, the reason for Judas betraying Jesus are many. Most people calling someone a Judas or saying 30 pieces of silver are just repeating the Christian (or the origianal Jewish) meme with no ill intent, but then you get people who take things way too far, like the Polish Catholics who beat up and burn an effigy of a modern Orthodox Jew with Judas written on it:  Jesus asking Judas to turn him in is definitely the most interesting one, because it ties into the whole "Jesus had to die to save the world" thing, and also means Judas is just a part of fulfilling prophecy rather than the bad traitor. I thought that was more of a Gnostic view than anything Canon though?

happyhippy posted:'I'm meant to give you this bill here, but I won't get a penny from it, so gently caress him. Just give me the key and you can go.' That's awesome. I may also have posted before about the shared house in which rain water ran down the walls and out of lightswitches on the ground floor, and where the downstairs toilet sink plughole wasn't connected to anything and warped the floor. In that one though, nobody seemed to have any idea where the landlord was, including the agents, so we just got the QC dad of one of the posh housemates to write a scary email telling them they couldn't have any rent because the house was unfit to live in. That scared the agents into leaving us alone until we could move out.

It's always struck me as weird how some Christians simultaneously believe the "God so loved the world that he sent his Son to die for it, which is the only thing that gave us a chance of salvation from the Fall" and also "Judas is (or Jews are in general if they're antisemites) terrible because he/they got Jesus killed." Like isn't that what you wanted? Or at least what had to happen? The "it was all prophecy and Judas was fated to do it and hated having to do so" at least makes internal sense.

Guavanaut posted:Like most of the New Testament, there's deliberate echoes (not the nazi brackets) of the Torah in there, because the whole thing was written as a Jewish New Religious Movement/legitimate Jewish teaching at first, so the 30 pieces probably makes reference to the idea of paying blood money when you kill someone's slave. Maybe. But the people who paid Judas were the Romans. Essentially the Fuzz at the time. I imagine that the concept of "the powerful offer a reward to get someone to betray their loved ones/"assist in catching a dangerous criminal" is not a modern idea. Guavanaut posted:Jesus asking Judas to turn him in is definitely the most interesting one, because it ties into the whole "Jesus had to die to save the world" thing, and also means Judas is just a part of fulfilling prophecy rather than the bad traitor. I thought that was more of a Gnostic view than anything Canon though? Well it's not based on some mad idea that only exists in the Christian Expanded Universe. The Bible itself talks about Jesus know what will happen to Him in advance and letting it happen. (Not being happy about it since He knows being crucified will suck.) The logical extrapolation there is if He knew it was going to happen why He would allow someone to betray Him? So it's very much something that can be considered a part of the canon.

It's part of a bigger idea which is how you interpret or what purpose do you place on religion? Is it about dividing lines to give you a clear cut Tribe of Us Vs. Them or to give you someone to Judge? Then it is the Mexican's fault* and also you are supposed to hate Gays and people who plant different types of crops together because one small part of the Bible says so. If Relgion is to provide a general guiding principle for how you are to live your life and offer comfort in times of trouble? Than the Lord works in mysterious ways that sometimes dick him over. But the overwhelming message is "love your neighbour." Even if they eat the wrong kind of meat. *= It's a joke from a Tommy Tiernan set that he got into trouble for. Don't ask.
