Isn't aggression a hallmark symptom of dementia? I seem to recall everyone being super happy and relieved that my grandma was only forgetting our names, but generally being chill and cheerful in spite of it all.

they do X and Y

Goes to any forum for landlords: "How can I avoid doing X and Y for my tenants?" "Is there any way I can force my tenants to do X and Y or pay for them?"

Ah, I see. Thanks!

I'm a bit OOTL on the Winnie the Pooh thing. I always just assumed it was just a bunch of redditors making a racist effigy out of a fake news story, but googling it does give a bunch of (western) news outles, wikipedia pages etc. saying the character was censored/banned. Can someone pill me on this/direct me to a less brainwormed place than wikipedia for learning more?

Ew, reddit is leaking

Even my lib dad could see this bullshit for what it was. It's a super transparent attempt to manufacture crisis support.

Maybe this is a stupid question, but does Obama have a lot of sway still? Is there good reason to think that his support is a strong indicator that Biden won't get canned?

Not in the spirit of the thread, I know, but they could murder everyone.

Whatever site that is really knows their audience. Not only is Yasuke, famously a real human being who actually lived and was black, "originally depicted as a black man", the mod also apparently turns him into an "authentic Japanese character". Which is apparently a more fitting description for whatever generic Japanese dude the modders think up than an actual historical figure. Christ.

Makes me so fucking dejected. Not even just for myself, but I have wonderful nieces and nephews and they don't deserve this shit

So public support for Palestine is just straight up outlawed then? Wonder if they're already handing out fines to people wearing keffiyeh yet?

My story is implausible because elderly people can't hear? That's certainly a take, given how the "angry old lady downstairs knocking on the roof with a broom" is a super common trope. This woman was in her 60s, they can generally hear just fine lol. If you literally believe people would never complain unless there was genuinely something to complain about, then you have been extremely privileged in your selection of neighbors. There are tons of unreasonable and shitty people out there. There are also people who have aforementioned hypersensitivity or other mental issues. These things cause people to disagree on what characterizes a normal level of noise. Negotiating this shit is part of what it means to live in close proximity to each other, and it's way harder in an atomized society where most people in the city don't know their neighbors.

I saw the letters she would dump in their mailbox, and they didn't look like the work of a healthy individual. I also happen to know that my sister and her husband was (and still are) very chill people who don't party, listen to loud music or have screaming matches which also wasn't what she complained about - it was literally things like "talking loudly" and "moving furniture" (half the time the complaints and "logs" were dated to times when they were both in bed). They noped the fuck out of there because there was no reasoning with this person, and they wanted to start a family. I can only imagine what would have happened if there was an infant in the mix too. Which is, incidentally, another source of noise that you sometimes have to put up with when you live in an apartment (my own downstairs neighbor had a baby with colic. It sucked, but that's life).

Like, I get that nothing is ever true on the internet etc. but for real, what the hell is implausible about this story?
