I bought a small condo for my father to retire into after he spent his retirement and home equity trying to save my mother's life in the US' hellworld healthcare system. I did let a cousin stay in the extra bedroom for several months rent-free to get back on their feet after a nasty divorce. Do I go to the guillotine when the revolution starts? I can't really tell where I stand, and need to set my expectations. EDIT: A lovely snipe. Here's my feeble attempt at content. quote:

God, imagine living with, hanging out with, loving this guy for 2 years then suddenly realizing like that what a completely soulless piece of poo poo he is. ... then looking back over the relationship and seeing all the hints you'd ignored...

Captain Fargle posted:In most countries there isn't any shortage of housing. What there is instead is a shortage of affordable housing. This is a problem very easily solved by expropriating the properties into a fully nationalised social housing program with extremely strict price controls on any private residential properties remaining. Again, this is not a realistic "solution" that can be realistically implemented *right now*, and the available empty housing is largely not in either the condition or location to be suitable for the purposes of housing people who are going to need transitional and ongoing services, access to those services and access to other basic things like "the grocery store" and "employment."

I know it’s fun to assume everyone you disagree with is an idiot proposing the stupidest version of their idea that you can imagine, but that’s not usually the case!

There is no realistic solution and the very idea that what ever you personally believe is actually realistic is laughable. Literally the only solution is going to require a complete ocerhaul of how we do it. Anything else will fail just as well as whatever you don’t personally like

Cuba seems to have it pretty well figured out, there's no homelessness there and you can only own two properties total, so no massive landlords or developers sweeping in and owning whole neighborhoods

Funny how everything except just continuing to perpetuate the current capitalist system is always "unrealistic" isn't it?

AITA for going along with my husband's family's sexist tradition because it benefits me and the only person it hurts is MIL, who treats me badly? quote:My husband and I have been married for nine months. I have some issues with his mom talking badly about me behind my back, being condescending, and genuinely being negative about our marriage based on us being a young couple.

A few short ones AITA for not helping pay for my new girlfriends divorce? quote:So, long story but I'll try and keep it short as possible. Recently i started dating a girl I went to highschool with who also has 3 kids. We've been dating for about 2 months now. Both of us live with our parents. Well yesterday she messaged me saying she has a lot on her mind and wanted to talk. So I said tell me what's going on. She started saying she's stressed out because she has no job and nobody helping her pay bills (besides unemployment) and she doesn't want to be worried about bills and money and that me doing Uber eats isn't a real job that's going to provide for three kids. She also brought up my settlement for a car accident I was in before we even started dating. Saying that me wanting to spend the settlement money on my car "doesn't sit right" with her. That she needs help financially with her divorce and paying lawyer fees because her and the husband are battling over custody of the kids. I sort of do feel like IATA because its important that she gets custody of the kids. But I also feel like this shouldn't be MY responsibility. She said dating her I basically entered into a responsibility of taking care of her and her kids and that I need to start forking over some money. AITA for changing my garage code after having to tell it to a friend. quote:A friend did me a favor and moved a package inside my garage while I was on a work trip. When I got back I changed the code, pretty much because that was the habit instilled in me by my mother, not because I had a specific concern. AITA for buying my daughter a better tasting toothpaste? quote:OK, this is probably weird, but hear me out.

I remember as a kid, my grandma would host Thanksgiving some years, but it wasn't until I got older I realized all the snipes she sent my mom's way about not hosting/not eating enough/you're too fat why are you getting seconds/get thirds you'll have enough leftovers for later! AITA For Admitting To My Husband That I Wasn't Actually Happy On Our Wedding Day? quote:I (30f) have been with my husband for 7 years and married for 4 of them. I love him and I am genuinely happy with our marriage and the life we've built together with our children. I was happy the day he proposed. I was happy during our honeymoon. We've had our ups and downs ever since, but overall I would say that I was happy. Although, I wasn't happy during the planning and actual wedding. Why? Because it wasn't the wedding I wanted. No word if the grandmother is around still. I bet she would have looked so lovely in the dress! I mean, assuming she even let the OP stand in the bride's place in the wedding.

My (28f) bf (35m) of 6 years told his family he never had a relationship with me and that I have never been his gf. How to proceed from here on?quote:My relationship with my(28f) bf(35m) has been quite rocky for the past few months. He has certain childhood trauma that he doesn't get resolved but instead uses it to lure empathetic women into his mess. The last few months have been really rocky, his behavior has been quite hurtful. He pretty much uses everything I say to him against me, misunderstands me on purpose.

Scaevolus posted:The problem is that the vacant homes are in lovely places with no jobs, while cities have disproportionately more jobs than units of housing available. Or they're technically repairable buildings that would cost more to restore to livable condition than it would cost to raze the structure and rebuild. Where I live there are large sections of property that have escheated to the county because the owners couldn't afford to make them rentable and simply stopped paying taxes.

I remember a throwaway chapter in on of the Belgariad books where they have to take shelter in this house and it's a family of total narcissist horrible people. Anyway, when they leave Garion is all like "holy poo poo they are terrible people, we should do something" and Beldin I think is all like "if you can think of a better punishment than letting these vile people live out the rest of their lives, never finding happiness, in each others company then by all means share it" and Garion is all like "daaaamn that's fuckin cold, but also fair" anyway, it's been 20 years since I read those books and this thread makes me think of that chapter often, thanks for coming to my TED talk.

It's actually in the first book of The Tamuli, the second trilogy of the Sparhawk books. Which I can never read again without thinking about how Eddings was a child abuser.

I think it's safe to separate the art from the artist in that case, as the works show no taint of their evils. Know what they did before or after the reading doesn't add any new insights into the work, fortunately. Those two are simmering in a warm place while kids get to read cool stories and not think twice about it.
