Put a limit on how many single family homes anyone can own. Especially corporations. They should honestly be banned from owning these homes at all. The housing market will adjust naturally without all these shitty big companies scooping up homes and making them inaccessible to buyers.

Individuals should also be limited on how many homes they can own if anything to prevent corporations from exploiting loopholes and having individual people "own" them instead. But also because it's just morally wrong to hoard property in the first place. I pay more in rent than I would on a mortgage but I can't afford the down payment for the very few homes that are even available within a reasonable distance from my job. Even if I could so many companies smatch them up over the asking price so people don't have a chance.

People like me that could financially afford the payments on their own homes are blocked by bullshit that was created solely to keep them perpetually renting. It's wrong. I shouldn't have to move to a whole new state or two hours away from my job because the same big company has bought up every house here. Not to mention a bunch of them recently got busted for illegally controlling the rent prices across multiple companies/properties using some kind of third party algorithm.

I don't think anyone should have to give up their property for free but if we're paying someone else's mortgage we should be getting more than a roof over our head.

Someday I hope my life is so free of real problems that the way a guy drinks his coffee is a big enough issue that I complain about it lol

I don't make the ahhh sound but I do hold it with both hands close to my face. It's for the warmth and I really couldn't care less about anyone that weirdly has an issue with that. What a strange thing to be bothered by...

It was a juvenile female. He ran her down with his snowmobile until she was exhausted, then ran her over to injure her and paraded her around town alive and hurt until he finally shot her eventually :(

Just in case anyone else missed the full story and didn't hate this piece of shit excuse for a human enough yet.

Focus on perfection? It's harder to maintain an ugly cut grass lawn than to just let it go wild and plant some native grasses/plants to overtake it.

Also god forbid you might need to refill early if you're going out of town or something. I knew they'd get weird about that so I just refilled it late when I got back and they made me piss in a cup for two months in a row. For refilling late because that could indicate I was selling it apparently???? I still get so upset remembering it. I can't believe how they're allowed to treat us sometimes.

Ritalin is the only medication I've taken for the last 15 years and I stg someone still fucking hassles me at least once every few months. Either it's insurance, the doctor, or the pharmacy. Someone ALWAYS makes it a pain in the ass. It's beyond absurd how many hoops I still jump through after over a decade of the same dose of the same medication.

No, they do a lot for your mental health. They just stress me out. If I want to chat I'll go chat with someone I know. I do not enjoy random people talking to me at all

They've been pushing "both options suck so why bother" rhetoric really hard too. They know they can't get people to vote for trump so their best bet is to get them not to vote
