I think I asked to record a conversation with some cops and I was told no then, too. I was complaining that my upstairs neighbor had been screaming for six hours straight and had been slamming and breaking things. At night.

They asked why I was cursing and being aggressive towards them (I literally just said it was fucking loud or something) and they told me I should be more sympathetic towards her because she has a mental illness. Okay. She also has a criminal history and she came at me with a knife. She was acting up because she was drunk and part of our lease was no alcohol usage on the property or we’d be evicted immediately. Manager did find a beer can of hers and she was still living there. She nearly destroyed her apartment and mine by flooding it and then refusing to use the fans because she didn’t like it (note that I had the fans on too and I’m autistic so I’m sensitive to loud noise). Point is, there’s mental illness and there’s being a scumbag. She refused treatment too and I’m pretty sure treatment was another condition of living there. They wouldn’t evict anyone for anything serious, but when I slandered them I was threatened with eviction and arrest.

Pretty sure it’s already against the law in Illinois. You can’t film anyone without their consent.

My building’s management was threatening illegal shit to me. I asked if I could record the conversation for my records; manager smiled and said no, that’s against the law.

She was managing a building for severely mentally ill individuals. And was doing horrible things. She threatened me because I called her out on Facebook for not treating bed bugs in the residence of a vulnerable, unnamed individual. Lmao. Said I was violating HIPAA and she would have me arrested. I emailed her the law that states that HIPAA only applies to employees <3

So glad I got out of there. They were massive dicks and were constantly threatening to evict me. While other residents were violent and RACIST (most of the residents were black, they had a white resident that called a CHILD the n word) and they weren’t evicted. I hate this planet.

yes! what about the people currently all over the world who are lgbt and live in countries where being lgbt is fucking illegal? what are you doing for them?

yeah, it’s not a fucking joke, it’s spreading and we’re just sitting here complaining about it while it fucking gets worse. abortion rights out the window, lgbt rights out the window. it is already happening here. what’s your alternative?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

what are you currently doing for all the children in all the other countries where it isn’t safe to be lgbt? is your plan to take over those countries? what is your plan here now? if we don’t secede, what are we doing? the fascists are winning here. we can leave or we can let them win; we are doing nothing which is letting them win. you can’t save everyone.

like in an abusive relationship, the abused are not responsible for the shitty actions of the abuser. you don’t tell the abused to stay and wait for the abuser to have a change of heart, you get them the hell out of there.

so we allow them to continue to pass bigoted laws? because that’s what’s happening. i’m disabled, unable to work, and lgbt. i’ve got maybe $10 to last me for a month, not enough food stamps to cover food. this shit is scaring me. if i want to move to a progressive country i need to work there; they aren’t accepting people who will drain their resources. they’re killing us. let them kill themselves.

they can move to our progressive country with zero barriers.

 

Hello everyone! Glad to see so many people here!

Maybe a mini-introduction from me? I care a lot about durable products because I am dirt poor, and it's so important for me to have things that last. I also care about the environment, so the less landfill, the better (if this is something you also care about, consider checking out @zerowaste!). Currently typing this on a refurbished mid-2012 MacBook Pro beautifully running MacOS Ventura through OCLP. It's not really showing signs of aging, and I hope I can get many more years out of it, as, well, I am poor, lol (but should I ever acquire $$$$$, I definitely wouldn't mind an upgrade :))

I'm not sure if I plan on continuing to moderate this magazine - I just wanted to move subreddits to the Fediverse, to get a head start.

Any r/BuyItForLife mods here that want to continue moderating? m/BuyItForLife, would you like me to contact the subreddit mods to see if they would like to moderate here? Anyone interested in moderating?

Feel free to also respond with an introduction, why you care about "buy it for life" products, and a "buy it for life" product you own/value! And please, feel free to make posts in this magazine, whether they're questions, products you own, or anything else related to BIFL!

And finally, please be patient with me! I'm currently juggling a million things, both online and irl. Thanks! And once again, welcome!
