Hate when my tenants don't respect me as an investor.

I'm not saying no one thinks this way, plenty of lovely people out there, but I've seen a lot of posts like this lately where it's just some woman laying out how every sexist dudebro is completely right about all women and yes we are all calculating vipers and shallow whores, written in such a way as to be as overt as possible. I wonder how much of posts like these are just frothing misogynists confirming themselves.

Right, there are absolutely lovely and selfish people, but like you said this is written entirely like the author has never actually spoken to anyone but incels and mgtow losers so they have no concept of how someone else would think or justify themselves.

I think the big tell is that when a real person is talking about themself they try to cast a favourable light on things, or skate around the stuff they know is bad. These posts that are just "hello I am a caricature of the women you hate and here is an itemized list of why I'm terrible" are a dead giveaway for fiction.

As my final breath leaves my body and my soul departs this Earth, I whisper "None of these cottage-core girlies have ever probably head-banged in their entire loving lives. :unsmith:"

Yeah, poo poo is hosed. In the US it's incredibly common that even getting into the top 20% of household income is enough to be somewhat stable, but not enough to own a home close enough to where you can make that money.

2019 we bought our house with the beloved socialism that is a VA loan. Now I don't make enough to buy a house within 50 miles. Neighborhood rents have increased by over 1k vs when we bought and house prices in our neighborhood have almost doubled.

Went from a legit working class neighborhood to needing 120k+/yr to even consider it.

I think it's a bit. The "headbanging" comment sounds like a tell, to me. Ravers only started doing that with the advent of Dubstep (and honestly I find it loving embarrassing); she's obviously a younger fan and there's nothing wrong with that but to immediately jump to 'headbanging' as an example of 'something real ravers do' instead of 'cutting a rug' or something else sounds suspect to me.

Yeah, that girl looks like she wasn't even born when "real ravers" were doing drugs and dancing all night in the 1990s. I have shirt that says "ravers suck" that I bought from a record store in 1999 that's probably older than she is, and it's still as true today as it was then.

I was a raver in my late teens/early 20s (back in the mid/late 90s), and I'm guessing I'm not the only one here. It's like any other kid's subculture - super important and amazing for the people who are in it, nearly incomprehensible if you're not, and something you laugh at when you look back on it years later. 72-inch kikwear jeans (because gently caress jnco)? I had that poo poo and I thought they were the coolest loving pants ever (partially because I could fit 12 cans of beer/soda in the pockets). It was like wearing a goddamn tent on each leg. I grew out of it, and so will that girl. I'm just lucky I didn't have social media to broadcast my teenage thoughts and stupid fashion choices to the world.

Oh, poo poo, I bet you're right. Nobody called it "kandi" or even "MDMA" back in the day, so I didn't even catch that. It was "E" or "rolls" (there were also many other drugs).

Maybe it's a bit, but I think it's cute y'all have been on the internet this long and still say "Surely this person can't be so self absorbed and must know the rich history of.."

I do think you're getting boomer brained for thinking they're using kandi and friendship bracelets as code for drugs. Swifties ain't exactly known for having the gurns at shows, but friendship bracelets are a big thing for them since they're a reference to one of her songs.

Oh, I know that person is that self-absorbed, because I was once a teenager myself. I did feel a little "old man yelling at clouds" about my post, but I also absolutely know that it's not for me anymore, and hasn't been for many years. I kinda just wanted to reminisce a bit about breakbeats and barn parties. :)

Nice. Admittedly I'm a bit on the younger side of 'raving' myself; I'm 35 which is just old enough to have gone to some warehouse parties in my teens but I never did because I was super awkward; I only consumed psytrance and jungle through my headphones on the subway. I got back into it coming back from college, right around when dubstep was starting to blow up and the fire it lit under my rear end rekindled my love for drum & bass. Around that time the whole idea of actual raves (as the purists will tell you it's not a rave unless it's at a warehouse/barn/under a bridge and super illegal) was sort of dying, but there were tons of regular parties in paid venues with liquor licenses. The 'kandi kid' fashion kind of went out of style for a bit but it's starting to come back. Even still, I stayed mostly on the fringes of the scene, and I do regret not putting myself out there both in the early 00s when I was in highschool and again in the early 10s when I could have made a better name for myself as a DJ, but I'm still working at it. That said, in a lot of ways I feel like a 35-year-old teenager and I don't think my love for the scene is ever going to die, despite the drama and pettiness of some promoters I still love the music and the friendly faces. I own three pairs of JNCOs, which I bought in 2019.

I never thought she was using 'kandi' as a code for MDMA. Kandi bracelets all the way up your forearms was a staple of raver fashion and it is kind of making a comeback. All of this and the above isn't to do any sort of gatekeeping, as I hope I've explained that for a middle-aged dude I'm still kind of a neophyte myself and there's nothing more 'rave culture' than being accepting and embracing new blood. I just think she is doing a bit because the kandi stuff is laid on a bit hard and she tips her hand with the "headbanging" comment, which - I meant to say but failed to articulate - feels like bait actually because there definitely are older ravers who would snub you for it - I even said I think it's embarrassing but hey whatever floats your boat, as long as you're not trying to mosh in a crowd that isn't having it I don't really care how you take in the music.

So I decided to look up what Swift fans doing Kandi appropriation was and it has to be a bit. There is no way you're confusing tihs:

I can get thinking that you want to be "cool" for appropriating a 25+ year old rave culture thing but confusing those two is a bridge too far.
