I'm all for hating on landlords, but the poor dog did nothing wrong.

[–] [email protected] 86 points 10 months ago (3 children)

I really hate people who censor naughty words like bitch and fucking in screenshots. If you're too scared to see the word written, maybe just don't share the thing at all.

[–] [email protected] 29 points 10 months ago

Censoring is the meta to avoid algorithmic suppression / prevent demonetization. Booooo corporate ad-supported platforms.

The Internet is full of little bitches that think sky daddy will be mad if they use their straw suckers and food tasters in an evil way.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago

We shouldn't be giving them a platform.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 10 months ago

Especially when they censor the letters with shapes that resemble the letters. A vertical line covering an i is like blurring just the middle finger when someone flips the bird

I read the post title as "assigned landlord at birth" for a moment, and I was like, yeah that is probably true for most people with money.

Now to restore cosmic balance: bitch fuck bitch fuck.

I've looked into property management when a duplex near me went up for sale. Your assessment is not wrong. There are many laws and regulations (at least in the USA) around buying rental properties that make it incredibly difficult for new people to get into landlording under the guise of making it harder on landlords. In reality its just a bunch of financial hoops and burdens that established landlords can easily step over but prevents others from becoming landlords.

I if wanted to buy that duplex, I'd have to put like 40% down just to break even and absorb the risk.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago

I mean, I can't say I'm against measures that discourage more people from joining the leech class like that.

That 40% down would also reduce the rate at which established landlords can expand. For 40% down, $1m can finance $2.5m of property. For 20% down, it can finance $5m. For 10% down, it can finance $10m. And that money could be used to bid on more residences or to bid higher on the same number of residences.

See, that kind of ambiguous abbreviation is the exact reason why I made a t-shirt with "ACAB - Assigned Cute At Birth" with the ACAB in the non-binary colors for a friend.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

I tried to figure out the acronym before I read the post and landed on "Assigned Llama At Birth".

Boy, was I wrong.

Lol this dumb bitch talking like this makes it ok to abuse an innocent animal

Literal psychotic behavior, probably a nightmare to live with

[–] MindTraveller 26 points 10 months ago (1 children)

It's not psychotic. Psychosis is a mental state or illness characterised by delusions, ideas of reference, and paranoia. Most psychotic people aren't animal abusers in any way. And OOP certainly isn't one of them, because they're fully cognizant of what they're doing.

You're doing the same thing OOP did. Throwing someone innocent under the bus to make your point. OOP abused an innocent animal. You spread lies about innocent mentally ill people.

[–] rab 7 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Word I meant was psychopath

[–] MindTraveller 6 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

That's not a real disorder, it's just Latin for mentally ill person. You're doing the same thing again.

[–] rab 7 points 10 months ago (1 children)

What's the word when people do crazy unhinged shit like abuse animals

[–] MindTraveller 10 points 10 months ago (1 children)
[–] rab 5 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

But there's a better word for this lady because she also approaches fire with more fire

I think I'm still most content with my original "dumb bitch"

[–] MindTraveller 8 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Well I'm sorry, but there aren't any names for mental disorders that are more direct or more insulting than the word animal abuser. Maybe you should look for insults that aren't mental disorders.

[–] rab 1 points 10 months ago

You would be sorry, fellow lemmy.ca user

[–] [email protected] -2 points 10 months ago

Imagine thinking this actually happened.

[–] [email protected] 50 points 10 months ago (1 children)

This person sounds like a actively malicious neighbor. Instead of taking feedback to make life better they actively mistreat a dog in "revenge".

Real "I'm the main character" vibes

[–] [email protected] 9 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Yeah what a piece of shit honestly.

"I pay money so I can't possibly be loud. My revenge for you saying so is torturing your dog and further straining this situation"

And then multiple commenters are praising this piece of shit's behavior. Kinda sounds like OP is on their side too.

[–] rab 7 points 10 months ago

Yeah I am genuinely amazed some people here applaud this. There are some seriously fucked up individuals on lemmy

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

We're on the same server so can't be a federation issue. Unless I blocked some idiots. Can't see any commenter praising the behavior.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Underneath the post, in the image, there are two commenters happy about it. And OP seems so wrapped up in landlord hating that they're blinded to any other concerns.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 10 months ago

Oh, you meant tumblr commenters. My bad. Yeah, fuck those guys.
