  • Yeah. It’s a but like Manic Pixie Dream Girl. It was used to describe a specific terrible character in a bad movie where she had no other role other than to appear when needed and be perfect for the scene and the main character to fix him ignoring any character consistency or growth, but then it became an insult to just women and then its own joke.

    We complained about the shitty comic cause it was jarring and weird as a way to handle a serious issue and it being so distasteful was the point. And it’s been eroded as just a reference to be made now for the sake of the reference.

    Meaning and origin break down with iteration. We either need to let it die and stop responding to it or work to fix it.


  • Oh yeah. I fled the state after my rent went from $1,500 to $2,700 a few years ago, with no work having been put into the shithole that I had to syphon dirty water from the air conditioner by hand to keep it from overflowing.

    I can’t even imagine the convoluted thoughts that lead to thinking these places are fair to be priced like that. But you get your loan evaluation on your properties based on how much you charge for rent so suddenly it makes a lot more sense.

    In Florida I toured a place that I thought was a house to rent but ended up being one of 7 apartments spread across the house, garage, and guest house. Literally the bathroom was in the kitchen and the hallway just had dry wall separating it in half. The stair well for one of the units was just nailed poorly to the outside of the house and wasn’t covered at all.

    Incant imagine what parking would have been like.

    Agreed on the hatred towards landlords.






  • Nothing and nobody is perfect, we live in a broken imperfect world and sanity is a myth made up by averages. Demanding she be anything so you can think of her as perfect ignores nuance and her as a person.

    No one will ever agree with you on everything but if their actions are good and align with yours then that should be enough.
