The last flat I rented before I managed to buy, the letting agency said they were going to keep my deposit because I hadn't cleaned it before moving out. I phoned them to say I had (I had), and just got uncharacteristically loud and bolshy with them for long enough that they caved and paid up. Anyway, I've been experimenting with Bing Image Creator to make AI art, some of which is crap and some is shockingly good. But I found that the most innocuous prompts can trigger its content warning filter and threaten to ban you from using it - like if you want to make sure that a person's full body is shown in the frame, you can't say "full body" because apparently it thinks you want to make porn, so you have to say "full figure". So I thought I'd see what else triggers it. Starting with something obvious:  Oh Bing, you prude. But what else does it consider obscene?  Lol.

smellmycheese posted:Landlords eh? Same happened to me, and my brother in his student digs. My landlord said he was keeping the deposit of 4 grand (4 person sharing), and wanted another 5 grand for repairs. I managed to get out of it at the last second, the landlord knocked up his mistress and was firing the person he sent out to harass me to save money for the mistress, and the person didn't give a gently caress as they weren't going to see any money from me, so let me go. My brother went scorched earth, planned a party last week of moving out, and wrecked the place. Holes kicked in walls, doors and cupboards ripped apart, absolute gently caress you good luck finding us.

I had a landlord that handed me a small document on the day I moved in which documented every issue that the place had along with pictures as proof, which we had to date and sign. When it was time to move out she claimed that these issues were actually caused by us and attempted to claim our deposit to cover the costs. I had to have one of the strangest conversations in my life because of this, which degenerated in me repeatedly asking her on the phone if she is stupid, because she and I both signed a document literally spelling out that none of these issues were caused by us. She got nothing in the end obviously but that was my first experience with a lovely landlord and it was very satisfying telling her how easy she made things for me.

Up until the last place I’d always been with pretty dodgy little landlords and never seen a deposit back in my life. When I was about 23 I left a place with the front door just hanging off because I locked myself out. gently caress ‘em.

They think society is set up as a simple system of who has more money is better, and this makes them better than you, therefore they are right and get to keep the money. Many of them also believe 'landlord' should be a protected class and that negative feelings toward them are hate speech. I suspect many landlords are Daily Mail readers.

NotJustANumber99 posted:read the discussion happening in the thread. The company I work for runs the DPS and all of the claim handlers are just regular people like you and me. It's office is in Bristol, mostly staffed by younger people who are likely renting themselves which are likely more reasons why the tenants will usually come out on top.

The last place I rented the landlord tried to without hold the deposit. I refused to sign the release and told them I was happy to take it to the deposit tribunal. It dragged on for 6 months before they caved and game me all my money.

happyhippy posted:Only 41p a portion! So many of these 'its cheaper to do it yourself' multi-portion bulk cooking ideas are way more expensive if you live alone or don't have adequate refrigeration/ freezers. Eg It's far cheaper for me to buy bags of frozen veg to get a variety than to buy a variety of raw veg in small quantities ( if it's even possible) that won't become science projects in the fridge let alone all the pain in the rear end preparation. I'm also helping keep someone in a job working wherever they prepare the frozen. And frozen veg often has more nutrients than supposedly fresh that's been kicking around in trucks or on market stalls for days. When I left my rental before moving here I hired a carpet shampooer (unasked) and did all the carpets. My landlady was a good egg (house divided in to 3 flats, she lived in one) and got my deposit back with no quibble plus a thank you note and bouquet for doing all the cleaning so she didn't have to. Also she didn't put the rent up at all the 4 years I was there. Jaeluni Asjil fucked around with this message at 10:50 on Apr 29, 2023 |

Frozen peas is pretty standard but nah, most other frozen veg is like playdoh pretend food. Nothing like a proper carrot or whatever

Quiche is gross. Also French, which is the traditional place that failed British kings run away to. If Britain is supposed to be Global Britain now, and making a show of friendship with the Commonwealth and the CPTPP, they should have gone with Coordination Poutine or Coronation Meat Pie or something. Maybe not Coronation Grilled Sausage, he doesn't like people noticing.

Trump pulled the US out of CPTPP tho, and Biden can't find the button to get them back in. Mexico, Peru, and Chile are all full members. He could have done Coronation Enchiladas. Coronation Empanadas de Pino. He could have even pissed off the conspiracy nuts and done Coronation Chapulines. But no. Quiche. Also in other news the NHS Covid app officially stopped working yesterday, as part of the planned end of life. Just in time for Arcturus

It's true that you don't find many doormats of flags that feature the Shahada. I'm almost surprised that some oval office didn't think of that during the whole post 9/11 bacon coated bullets rear end in a top hat era.
