Random Raves XLVII: Who wants cookies?

[Kaitzilla]

Trump is now tweeting that Fox News is no longer his station and he's thinking about starting his own station.

Too late, it already exists.

Indulge yourself, and leave those leftist Fox News wimps in the dust!

My writing isn't going anywhere and I have no cookies.

Why have a long-term renter pay $1000 a month when you can AirBNB it for $1000 a night?

I've seen multiple rental units in my town get turned into AirBNBs. It's depressing.

Fortunately, a lot of municipalities are cracking down on this and making the owners pay the same licensing and other fees that hotel owners have to pay. In short, if they want to act like a hotel, they have to face the same financial and safety regulations as hotels.

My Open Office is pitching fits; otherwise the writing is going fine, and I have lots of cookies.

I moved a big bookcase this morning. Even empty, the friggin' thing must weigh 200lbs. Anyway, behind it I found some CDs: World Cup '98; Dungeon Keeper; Pax Imperia: Eminent Domain; Led Zeppelin II; and Only the Good Die Young by 45 Grave. I don't think I have anything that will play these anymore. I don't even remember owning them.

That's why you use LibreOffice instead.

Shep Smith announces he is leaving Fox News

New York (CNN Business)In a stunning announcement, Shepard Smith said on his Friday show that after more than two decades at Fox News, he was stepping down as chief news anchor, and leaving the network.

"This is my last newscast here," Smith said, adding that he was "eternally grateful" to Fox for the opportunities it has afforded him.
"Together with my colleagues, we have written a first draft of history," Smith said. "Endeavored to deliver it to you while speaking truth to power, without fear or favor, in context and with perspective."
Smith signed off his newscast saying, "Even in our current polarized nation, it is my hope that the facts will win the day, that the truth will always matter, that journalism and journalists will thrive."

This happened the same day the Barr had breakfast with Rupert Murdoch. I'm sure that was a coincidence, same with Giuliani's buddies trying to flee after having breakfast with him, which came just hours after Barr being notified of the warrants.

"Wouldn't it make more financial sense for the company (that owns this building) to keep a satisfied renter so they don't have to continually spend money on cleaning, renovations, advertising, and other administrative work connected with the suite?"

Here, landlords just confiscate the entirety of your deposit for cleaning, even though that's illegal. It's happened at all but one of my 5 apartments and one of the landlords even lost a class action suit over the practice but then just started calling the deposit a fee instead of a deposit and went back to doing it.

Is your tenancy board really that ineffective?

It's America. They don't have one.

I think that the scene near the end of the Joker, with Deniro becoming open-minded, is one of the best in recent times
Good enough to build a sequel upon anyway.

'Renters in California have too much power'
says the crooked landlords as they jack rents again and continue evicting undesirables.

 

[aimeeandbeatles]

Yikes.

Unfortunately, it only takes a few "nightmare tenants" to ruin things.

I was actually a bit sympathetic to the landlord that got sued because they operated in a college town and I saw firsthand how poorly that demographic handles their first 'big boy' apartment. But then again, they had a lot of abusive practices like leaving the black mold in my apartment for two years and justifying that by giving me a dehumidifier. Plus, they had a near monopoly on all the properties in the town and no one made them set up shop in a college town.

>.<
Why is my forehead red?

 

[aimeeandbeatles]

In one of our old apartments, the power was included in the rent. But the landlords got at us for using up so much electricity. I was able to use a meter-thingy to prove it was the fridge (which was ancient and often broke down anyways), which they provided. They did nothing about it. The last straw came when they illegally entered our apartment and turned off my computer (which was in standby mode).

Nobody touches my computer.
