This happened to my parents in the 90s in Florida. They did a consultation with a lawyer and he told them to stop paying rent. So they did. Saved the money and used it to make a downpayment on their first house. I don’t know if it still applies but it’s probably worth a look.

thegr8goldfish@startrek.websiteto Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•Hot birds in your area iykyk30·7 days agoIistened to an episode of Conan Needs a Friend where he interviewed some bird guy who suggested that the bird that best resembles Conan is the Andean Cock of the Rock. Curiosity got the better of me so I searched for ‘Andean Cock of the Rock’. The first result was not a bird but was instead a poorly made deep fake of Dwayne Johnson breaking one off in a South American gentleman.

- Republicans
- Enable
- Pedophiles
- Undermine
- Basic
- Liberties
- Ignore
- Constitutional
- Accountability
- ??? I’d rather my acronym be discarded than those files, assuming the turds comply with the subpoena. What’s the penalty if they don’t?

Had it since it launched. When my wife was a kid, their rule was that they had to beat the game before you could get a new one. I rarely beat games as a kid so that seemed harsh to me.

Look at How Blue Texas Could Be if Democrats Drew the Maps.5·13 days agoWe probably need an amendment to actually do redistricting fairly, but as long as one side is abusing the process, it doesn’t make sense for the other side to try to continue being ‘fair’. You’re just bringing a fart to a shit slinging contest.

In 20 years, we’ll have so many microbes capable of consuming plastic people will be bitching about their packages not being able to effectively protect their goods from spoiling. The goldfish has spoken.
thegr8goldfish@startrek.websiteto Fuck AI@lemmy.world•Why is AI so wrong all the time???8·23 days agoI like to think of them as artificial con men. They sound great. They have confidence and are complimentary and are very agreeable, but they will tell you what they think you want to hear. Whether or not what they are telling you is truthful isn’t even part of the equation.

So, to the DNC, it’s better to see the winning Democratic candidate defeated in the general now because that will ensure victory in Alabama in a year or three? The propaganda machine will smear anyone who dares to run with a D next to their name. You might as well own it and embrace the positions your voters want.

I remember this existed but, alas, ours was a Nintendo household. Back then having multiple consoles was pretty rare.
Years from now you’ll remember the good times and the shitty days won’t be rembered often. Kids idolize their parents whether we’re worthy or not. My house is a mess too. We are all just getting by some days. Don’t beat yourself up. Try to make tomorrow a little better.
