By Pennywise Go To PostSeen so many private landlords or people that shared a house and got fucked over, I would be highly cautious.Yeah I forget you guys have laws protecting tenants. That shit doesn't exist here.
People not paying the rent, people destroying shit. It's taking ages over here until you've got a court officer to throw them out.
By Lunatic Go To PostYeah I forget you guys have laws protecting tenants. That shit doesn't exist here.It's a shame that shit is taking half a year up to a full year. Private owners don't get rent, have to pay the moving company and in most cases the refurbishment. Because alot in the majority of cases people destroy things. And it takes a shitload of time until they might get their money back, if they get it back at all.
When I was 16, I worked in a moving company and I've seen some shit there. People destroying entire bathrooms, homes that needed pest control and alot of other things.
Imagine you don't get your rent for nearly a year and you've gotta pay a couple of grands to get the appartment/house up to that point again, where you can have people living there again. Horrible stuff.
That's why I would be really cautious as private person. It's just alot more dangerous without the financial backing of bigger companies that have 20+ buildings.
Not that it was the fault of the people living there every time, there were some pretty depressing cases. We've been with the court officer at the house of a family whose daughter just celebrated her 10th birthday. Or a woman whose husband just left her in the morning without telling her that he didn't pay the rent for months. They had a normal standard of living and we brought her into an emergency accommodation that's filled with disgusting alcoholics that prolly never worked a day in their lives.
In general I've seen alot of cases where people lived like pigs. A lady with 16 cats that pissed and shat everywhere...we had to get her out during summer. Imagine the great smell we've had to endure.
Compulsive hoarders are pretty damn depressing.
Don't even wanna imagine how it's like without any laws in place.
By Lunatic Go To PostHigher interest rates, currently a 5.50% and AirBnB creeping in have dramatically increased housing costs. But yes being a tax neutral jurisdiction does contribute to higher housing costs. Also have to remember we live on what basically amounts to luxury vacation destination as well.#ThoughtsAndPrayersForLunatic
Yall know anything about Richmond? Thinking about moving up there with my cousin for a bit. I'd basically be a housesitter since hes damn near always working. Really need a change of scenery a bit.

Honestly the only place in NC I'd want to live if I stayed is the Outer Banks. Hands down my favorite place in the state.
By domino Go To PostHonestly the only place in NC I'd want to live if I stayed is the Outer Banks. Hands down my favorite place in the state.oh man... yeah. its gorgeous and the only relaxing area in the state imo
i used to be out there every year before i went to college. the hurricanes ain't even that bad lol. but i just don't know how i'd ever live out there. there's no lanes for most jobs that way and even if you look to retire.... you ain't trying to be old af looking to evac every storm season
I really miss the peace of mind I had out there. Felt like I was living just completely detached from the rest of the world and everything was so simple. I could do my job now remote out there too. But that's not the kind of move I'm trying to make right now.

By HasphatsAnts Go To Postit's definitely more of an early/mid 20s crowd.That's great for single people tbqh. Can find plenty of people among that crowd closer to his age too. Not necessarily immature folks either it's just you don't want to or can't hang out with older people when they're all about family life now.

funny thing is i never thought about what if my cousin says no when i came up w/ the idea. mans hit me w/ the "let me think about it" which really surprised his sister and me. if the roles were reversed i wouldn't even think twice.
this exists???

Addiction is kind of a loaded word, I guess. I always see addiction and think like
So I can always say, 'well I'm not addicted. I don't think I'd die without it.' But I'd say if you're doing something repeatedly, spending time and energy on it with little to no positive gain including monetary or emotional, you're addicted to it. But I also used to drink about 8 soda cans a day and thought 'I wasn't addicted'. And repeatedly, I tried to stop, and couldn't, but I always thoughtt 'well its not crack i'm not addicted.' It wasn't until I got really sick for over a year that I was able to quit. And I don't know if it was the root cause, the obesity or the overwhelming sugar, but I didn't want to die and I knew all that soda was a major, major issue. So I finally stopped drinking it. I haven't had one in over 2 years now.
But then I think about other stuff.. I'm currently trying to cut sugar down drastically from my diet in general because I know I consume too much. If I'm at my parents, there's some candy, I eat it. It doesn't fill me and instead of going, 'hey this isnt filling me in spite of the calorie size, why am I eating this?' I just eat more to try to fill me. But If I pull out a rice cake and put some peanut butter on it, it fills me for like 2 hours and its barely any sugar and like 100 calories total. But I try to tell myself I'm not addicted to this candy I keep eating.
I go home from work at 12 am. I don't have to go back til 2 pm. I come home and I play video games at night, knowing that I need to get up early so I can go to the gym before work instead of sleeping in. I play video games til 2 am and sleep in until 1130. Cutting my gym time and missing it all together most days so instead I stay at home and play video games until I take a shower and get ready for work. As I've posted before, I check Facebook repeatedly. And what have I gained from this? Nothing. I'm not any closer to anyone than I was before and I get that little social media envy. If anything, when I'm on Facebook, I overshare. I make myself seem like a common commodity. Even like, Instagram, I get on there I might see some cool art, some tattoos I like, some pictures of dogs, or some clothes I want to buy. I get nothing like that on Facebook other than chasing some sort of validation high from a like. I had a post on a public page that got over 5000 likes. But I didn't really care because its not validation from strangers I want. It's validation from specific people and they tend to share a thing in common.
So obviously I know about these problems, and I think I can finally call them what they are. Addictions. The dieting thing has just been a result of me seeing my parents. I try to keep my place clean of any unhealthy options but I don't want to feel like I have no control when I'm a guest. So I'm just trying to remind myself to control and that those treats do absolutely nothing for me. I don't even like the taste, I just compulsively eat them. The gaming thing, I've decided I'll only play games on my off days. That way I can sleep in and still go to the gym, I can spend the extra time on my work days reading, going on a walk since its warmed up, or doing some cleaning. The facebook thing is a little harder. Any app that locks me out of it is easily broken. And I broke soda while still having it around me. I would rather break this one in the same manner. Through lack of desire rather than lack of availability. Like when I see soda now, I don't even recognize it beyond 'that's a thing.' It's the same way I think about tampons. It's a thing that exists that has no bearing on me personally.

Life is so much better after cutting off most of social media.
I now use Facebook for Marketplace, Instagram to check for food promos and Twitter for news.

Two things:
1.) Facebooks deader than disco, hopefully we'll start having burnin sessions soon.
2.) Real talk data I'm goin through the same issues right now with my diet and sleep problems. Its finally hittin me that I need to change some things around for improvement to lower my stress levels among other things.

I think there needs to be a distinction between bad habbits reinforced by lack of self control and true mental and physical addictions. For instance and perspective, watching a close family member pick up drinking out of the blue and go from drinking a bottle of wine every other day to two litres of spirits a day within 12 months, putting their addiction before their own health and family... it’s kinda insulting to what addiction truly is to have that and staying up to play video games on a work night put under the same umbrella.
That’s not say you can only be addicted to addictive substances, that’s not true an the obvious example is gambling. However I think having perspective on the difference between doing something out of habit, like eating food because it’s there or counter-productively staying up late is important to dealing with those habits and overcoming them. As opposed to treating it as an addiction. The former being something you do because you’re used to doing it and the latter being something you seek out doing and feel compelled to do, without any thought of the downsides that comes with it.
man my cousin has become such a POS. i dont think i can fuck with him anymore.
so im not moving to richmond, which im fine with
but not only did he not have the balls to tell me himself
he made his sister do it and didnt even give her a reason
and she was basically like "well you shouldnt be surprised. it just sucks it took you needing him for something for once to realize he doesnt care about us. he blew off our grandma's funeral because he didnt want to take off work. he always blew you off whenever you invited him to NC or tried to visit him, or plan out trips. hell i don't have a relationship with him myself. i see you more than i see him and he lives 45 mins away. holidays you come visit for a whole week and he acts like it's moving heaven and earth just to pop in for a plate"
and it's not even like we're one of those families that leans on him for money/favors/etc because then i'd understand his stance. were all just kind of like dude wtf is wrong w/ you. we were tight growing up but i used to be reeeeeeally jealous of how much people liked/respected him growing up especially because i was kind of cast as the wildchild to his Mr. Perfect in comparison. but as adults all of those relationships seem to have taken a total 180. i wouldnt say that i've changed much but i think people realize that i've always cared, if nothing else, and that matters to them.

Whattup guys,
Need some advice. I got some herb ass cousin that lives in the same state as me trying to move in with me. Like, I barely interact with dude and he thinks it's cool to just hit me up to move into my place and IM supposed to be like, "sure, cool dawg".
I was so offended that I had to ask my sister to tell him to fuck off 😂
Now all of sudden I'm hearing that he's throwing shade because I don't hit my family up every day. Sorry, but some of us are grinding 🤐. Blood ain't thicker than this money.
Was I wrong?
