    I’m all for hating on landlords, but the poor dog did nothing wrong.

    I really hate people who censor naughty words like bitch and fucking in screenshots. If you’re too scared to see the word written, maybe just don’t share the thing at all.

    I read the post title as “assigned landlord at birth” for a moment, and I was like, yeah that is probably true for most people with money.

    Now to restore cosmic balance: bitch fuck bitch fuck.

      I’ve looked into property management when a duplex near me went up for sale. Your assessment is not wrong. There are many laws and regulations (at least in the USA) around buying rental properties that make it incredibly difficult for new people to get into landlording under the guise of making it harder on landlords. In reality its just a bunch of financial hoops and burdens that established landlords can easily step over but prevents others from becoming landlords.

      I if wanted to buy that duplex, I’d have to put like 40% down just to break even and absorb the risk.

        I mean, I can’t say I’m against measures that discourage more people from joining the leech class like that.

        That 40% down would also reduce the rate at which established landlords can expand. For 40% down, $1m can finance $2.5m of property. For 20% down, it can finance $5m. For 10% down, it can finance $10m. And that money could be used to bid on more residences or to bid higher on the same number of residences.

      See, that kind of ambiguous abbreviation is the exact reason why I made a t-shirt with “ACAB - Assigned Cute At Birth” with the ACAB in the non-binary colors for a friend.

      I tried to figure out the acronym before I read the post and landed on “Assigned Llama At Birth”.

      Boy, was I wrong.

      It’s not psychotic. Psychosis is a mental state or illness characterised by delusions, ideas of reference, and paranoia. Most psychotic people aren’t animal abusers in any way. And OOP certainly isn’t one of them, because they’re fully cognizant of what they’re doing.

      You’re doing the same thing OOP did. Throwing someone innocent under the bus to make your point. OOP abused an innocent animal. You spread lies about innocent mentally ill people.

          That’s not a real disorder, it’s just Latin for mentally ill person. You’re doing the same thing again.

                But there’s a better word for this lady because she also approaches fire with more fire

                  Well I’m sorry, but there aren’t any names for mental disorders that are more direct or more insulting than the word animal abuser. Maybe you should look for insults that aren’t mental disorders.

        Of course it is. The dog is barking because it’s scared of a weird sound it doesn’t understand.

        Also no I don’t think barking is particularly enjoyable it’s just a way of expressing fear or excitement, depending on context

              Ah, ew

              Yeah to basically back up what you said:

              My dogs ofc do this under her breath bark cus she’s having fun But to the point of the unknown noises sometimes when I start my car remotely to get the engine running in winter they’ll start barking cus I’m sure the thought process is “OH MY GOD WHAT WAS THAT!? GOTTA PROTECT THE HOUSE” or any noise they thought they heard outside

              Fortuanlty that’s no where near as miserable as a dog whistle

              A good analogy I heard it’s like screaming from a small child. They giggle and scream when crawling and running out of joy (from me chasing them in my experience) but also start screaming if they stub their toe running or don’t get their way

    This person sounds like a actively malicious neighbor. Instead of taking feedback to make life better they actively mistreat a dog in “revenge”.

    Real “I’m the main character” vibes

      Yeah what a piece of shit honestly.

      “I pay money so I can’t possibly be loud. My revenge for you saying so is torturing your dog and further straining this situation”

      And then multiple commenters are praising this piece of shit’s behavior. Kinda sounds like OP is on their side too.

        We’re on the same server so can’t be a federation issue. Unless I blocked some idiots. Can’t see any commenter praising the behavior.

          Underneath the post, in the image, there are two commenters happy about it. And OP seems so wrapped up in landlord hating that they’re blinded to any other concerns.
