In the Friends season 4 episode titled "The One With The Ballroom Dancing," the landlord Mr. Treeger threatened to evict Monica and Rachel out of their apartment for illegal subletting. The series also unearthed the fact that Monica's grandmother was the original tenant. After the woman moved to Florida, Monica moved in and sublet the second bedroom. It was also revealed that the apartment was rent-controlled so even after her grandmother passed away, she inherited the lease and continues paying just $200/month. In the series finale episode, as Monica and Chandler prepare to move out, the latter mentioned said "thanks to rent control, it was a friggin' steal."

It was rent controlled, but the rest of them were still living unreasonably well.

Lindsey Vonn crash video is the injury news no one wanted for U.S. skiing legend | Sporting News The comeback has a bummer of an ending.

I know why she went out there, she worked so fucking hard for this chance. Devastating. I hope all that hard work makes her recovery easier. 🥺https://www.sportingnews.com/us/olympics/news/lindsey-vonn-crash-video-injury-news-us-skiing-legend/7e85005aa3a3494ab4e21ac9

Hey #apple why does my iphone open the amazon prime app everytime I ask it to open #hbo? Unless I say open HBO Max, a request to open HBO will always open the prime app. 😅

~$90 for three people to see a movie and another $50 for stale popcorn and soda - while the seats are busted and the floors are sticky - is a big part of why they stay empty too. Folks can wait to save $$ for most movies. (They will soon raise streaming/purchase fees way up to compensate. 🥴)

I understand. You’d still be unlikely to get 10 days in hospital unless sending you home would immediately kill you. It’s not great here.

If we had a secession, poor red states would sell off to foreign interests that would drain their resources and further infiltrate what is left of our country. Imagine state tariffs, travel bans, foreign military etc. Divided we fall, it’s why so much outside money poured into divisive propaganda.

If you have any outdoor lighting near the garage, you might want to replace the light bulbs with motion sensor lightbulbs. If they are most likely to break into the garage, you could put an unmounted camera inside the garage. Unfortunately, if they disguise/cover up, it won’t do you much good.

You would very rarely get 10 days in hospital here. Nearly everything is ‘outpatient’ and stays are under 3 days. Depending on your co-pay and annual max (which are commonly high to keep monthly insurance lower), we’d pay btwn 2k-20k. Uninsured? As much as 200k+ possibly a lot more w/ 10 day stay. 🫣

I got $11-$14/hr as a cashier with only a few years experience at a big box store in 1997-00 while in school. We can and should do better than that 25+ yrs later for people who have agreed to put their lives on the line for our safety.

Sorry *30in+ — typo. I don’t think they need me to inflate numbers.

No. It is something on the television, radio and internet. Propaganda works and racism does a lot of the heavy lifting.

I would wager the author of that statement agrees with you, that’s why they used * exclusively *

Edited for length restriction Door To dream that you are entering through a door signifies new opportunities that are presented before you. You are entering into a new stage in your life and moving from one level of consciousness to another. In particular, a door that opens to the outside signifies your need to be more accessible to others, whereas a door that opens into the inside, denotes your desire for inner exploration and self-discovery. To see an opened door in your dream symbolizes your receptiveness and willingness to accept new ideas/concepts. In particular, to see a light behind the door suggests that you are moving toward greater enlightenment/spirituality. To dream that the door is closed or locked signifies opportunities that are denied and not available to you or that you have missed out on. Something or someone is blocking your progress. It also symbolizes the ending of a phase or project. In particular, if you are outside the locked door, then it suggests that you have anti-social tendencies. If you are inside the locked door, then it represents harsh lessons that need to be learned. To dream that you are locking the door suggests that you are closing yourself off from others. You are hesitant in letting others in and revealing your feelings. It is indicative of some fear and low self-worth. In particular, seeing the front door in your dream indicates that you are shielding yourself from outside influences. Dreaming of a red door refers to either anger or passion that you are keeping locked up within yourself. If you open the red door, then it means that you are confronting some uncomfortable emotions. To see a black door in your dream symbolizes your personal hidden secrets. If you open the black door, then it suggests that you are exposing yourself to danger. You are proceeding toward a situation despite the risk. Seeing a gray door in your dream indicates that you are experiencing ambiguity in your future.

Cow To see a cow in your dream symbolizes your passive and docile nature. You obey others without question. Alternatively, a cow represents maternal instincts or the desire to be cared for. For some cultures, the cow represents divine qualities of fertility, nourishment and motherhood. To see the skeleton of a cow suggests that your mother or motherly figure in your waking life is displaying a lack of emotions. She is being unresponsive to your needs. To see a herd of cows indicates your need to belong. To dream that you are milking a cow represents your willingness and drive to work hard. In the end, you will benefit from your hard work.

Fake quote from me on "Canada Resists"

Fake quote from me on Dean Blundell substack

Fake quote from me in (allegedly) Haitian website

A large number of articles with fake quotes from me have appeared on "Resist"/Dem accounts. I suspect they were written with AI because they are so formulaic. Other "experts" are cited -- all without links. If you see a quote from me without a link to the source, beware. Examples of fakes:

Why Do People Choose Authoritarianism Over Democracy? The appeal of authoritarianism isn't about wanting to be controlled; it's about removing the protections of democracy to control others.

Probably because this is about women who are miscarrying at home and being charged with desecrating fetal remains (and/or illegal abortion) even though they aren’t often provided with any other options bc doctors send them home.

Another Woman Arrested For Her Pregnancy Loss A South Carolina woman has been charged for “desecration of human remains”

NEW: A South Carolina woman has been arrested for “desecration of human remains” after losing her pregnancy and placing fetal remains in the trash. The 31-year-old is facing up to ten years in prison for the felony charge.

For her pregnancy.

Every. time.

This is absolutely true. 🥰Unfortunately, it goes both ways. Some nurses advocate for the option/care that leads to harm because their gut feeling is centered in prejudice or bigotry.

Camp Mystic was situated in a swath of Texas Hill Country known as "flash flood alley."

Why would state/local government ever allow anyone to build a children’s camp in “flash flood alley,” especially without proper warning systems in place?

If you are anti-science and religious, you have to believe that God has been punishing folks or you have to embrace conspiracy to explain the devastating things you don’t understand. I think you can see why they usually opt for the former when they don’t like the victims and the latter when they do.

Surrounded by patients w/ compromised immune systems? Do no harm is for other doctors, I guess. 🥴

💯 We call that astroturfing.

They’ll tell themselves all politicians are dishonest and without character, so they have to keep voting for the one with whom they are more politically aligned.
