a lot of it (general white dude shitheadedness) is a reaction to a perceived diminishment of their superior role in culture and society. you can basically explain 99% of reactionary white dude stuff as a response to being raised with certain expectations about the world and their place in it, emulating fathers who were the center of the family, breadwinner, all that jazz and having that expectation curtailed by progress. it's related to machismo but it doesn't seem to be as acute in non-white dudes.

the joke of course is that white dudes are still the center of american culture in a very large way, but it's just the Actually Rich ones (it was always the Actually Rich ones but it's impossible to maintain the veener that 'average' dudes are the center of anything culturally) who are at the center

I work in an office where someone complained that someone elses perfume was bothering her. I can't even imagine what vitriol dogs would bring (from cat people). 'Bloo bloo, Jim can bring his dog but I can't bring any of my 4 cats'

if i shared an office or a cube or something with someone who wore way too much perfume, to the point that it was giving me a headache, i'd have to do something about it but i'd try to handle it politely.

MALE SHOEGAZE posted:some people really wear offensive amounts of perfume quote:Olfactory fatigue, also known as odor fatigue or olfactory adaptation, is the temporary, normal inability to distinguish a particular odor after a prolonged exposure to that airborne compound.[1] For example, when entering a restaurant initially the odor of food is often perceived as being very strong, but after time the awareness of the odor normally fades to the point where the smell is not perceptible or is much weaker. After leaving the area of high odor, the sensitivity is restored with time. Perfume counters will often have containers of coffee beans which tend to "reset" olfaction. Anosmia is the permanent loss of the sense of smell, and is different from olfactory fatigue. It's also why my smelly dog doesn't stink to me

born on a buy you posted:there are places pet rent isn't a thing? everywhere I lived in college and since has had that. deposit to cover cleaning and then 30-60 a month in additional rent it's not a thing in new orleans or indeed anyplace i've ever heard of in louisiana, alabama, mississippi, georgia (atl area) or houston and all of those places are extra-poo poo to renters never heard of it in nyc either. idk AZ from just owning but i assumed that it was like renting in the south ie buttfucked once up front for pets instead of as an ongoing thing and a deposit is returned in full for normal use or else it isn't a deposit one time pet fees are the norm to cover the "additional cost" of cleaning in places that make you justify poo poo like that but california enumerates poo poo like how long a landlord should expect things to last like paint (2 years) and carpet (10 years) as well as strictly outlines how deposits work (must refund in full or not at all and limits mean first + last month rent bs is outlawed), so pet rent it is apparently b/c that's not illegal yet lol at louisiana having greater renter protections than california my friend who just moved here from louisiana to be a vet pays $120 per pet per month at her place in sunnyvale so we're p lucky to merely be paying $60 for our little ugly furbabby

Thank you!  this is how i end my pushy business emails when someone delays a response to me unff Citizen Tayne posted:He is smarter than everyone else. Everyone else is too stupid to be trusted with his assets. this also results in doctors being common targets for things like investment scams because they have money and the idea that since they are skilled or successful at one thing, then due to the transitive property they are good at anything that they set their hand too and are deserving of future success i fully understand how lucky i am to have a partner that understands this implicitly

kwinkles posted:the danger with rental apartments is that people don't replace the aircon filter. when i rented i used to turn on the AC and smell the air coming out of the register, then turn on the heater and smell the air. sometimes you get a huge whiff of someone's gross dog smell. when i was a landlord for the family property in baton rouge i changed that poo poo out myself erry month (no a/c for 3ish days in the summer there is enough to start mildew growin) this also afforded me the chance to speak to the tenants firsthand in order to address maint issues and work with them for delayed rent or swapping people around on the lease and generally trying to be helpful as hell b/c i'm inheriting that poo poo i can't be havin a hurricane create leaks that aren't found for a season or two of heavy southern louisiana rain or dumbass 20 year olds vengefully fuckin the place up also b/c lol i intentionally and illegally shifted to renting to ladystudents at lsu since they (their parents) pay on time and they don't wreck the place up and i was a nerdy as hell student too so i'd go outta my way to talk to them about fixing poo poo
