All I can say is I feel the abject rage towards REs and LLs in my soul and relate hard.

I believe in you, and the list and changes you want to fulfill and make happen. You are intelligent and strong, and you will find peace and happiness away from this place 💜

I hear you. I’ve been on both sides. As a LL where it didn’t cover all expenses not to mention damage just due to having average tenants, but c’est la vie. I’ve probably been a tenant for more years than a LL and I’m generally chill if the rent is stable to point of taking care of easy repairs, but yeah, when it keeps going up, then for sure, you need get them to maintain the property. Even the small things we lodged to get done, some of it has been done by the most dodgiest, useless tradespeople, ever. Definitely don’t bother going out of your way to be accommodating. After a certain point they don’t care anyway.

Only thing I can appreciate is that I’ve been in this one long enough to make a case for aircon. That only took about 5 years (been here longer than that).

You have got this. I hope you feel better. 🖤

Box 🖤

Of course it is, because no one ever really wants to be close to someone struggling with their own mind. They prefer performative care, so they can receive sympathy, but do not actually care about the person truly struggling.

The mentally unwell are chronically alone and lonely, I can attest, with few real, genuine human connections, because they are just there to make others feel good about themselves. Even their death is capitalised upon for further sympathy and attention.

I wonder why I have so few genuine, caring friends, but why wonder when the answer is they don't actually care. They just like others telling them how kind and selfless they are. It's disgusting that the mentally unwell are only "cared for and about" when they're fucking dead and it doesn't mean anything to them.

Death brings out the worst in people. I've seen it up close too many times. People make others deaths about themselves, about how they feel, about their guilt. Because they know they could have done more, whether in the moment or overall, but chose not to. And you know, sometimes they can't do more, sometimes their plate is already overflowing, but that doesn't mean they get to make the death about them.

so many hugs 🙂

you deserve this

Cannot agree. Passionfruit is my favorite.

Splice for the win. Can't beat pine lime.

Because you care about the work you submit, and you want to demonstrate an understanding of the subject matter.

It's okay, I tend to over study too, even though I don't have the time but I'm keen to learn each subject, not just pass it. Welcome to the world of adult learning, Baku, where you feel like a dumbass for caring about what you submit!

Doing extra is never wasted effort. It might not be necessary for the specific report you are doing, but what you learn creates a much better foundation for your future learning, both within the course and in life in general. The things you will be doing in the future will all build on the knowledge you are gaining now, so the less thorough you are now the more you will struggle in the future.

There is a vast difference between learning the subject and writing to the question. It is both depressing and hilarious I once got an HD for an essay on a book I didn’t read. Make of that …

Look on the bright side. Writing more is a lot harder than having to condense and prune an essay.

What might make it easier for you to condense is it focus on making sure you address the key points and see if you’ve duplicated or waffled on about something.

Or see if you make an answer to something concise and straight to the point without being too descriptive.

IE. I walked to my car staring at the sunlight coming down through the clouds, I steadily took my time taking steps slowly to my car and opened the door and sat down then I started my engine and began my journey to the new world.

Short version: I walked to my car and started the engine and drove off.

Just make sure if it’s the assignment is asking you to address points that they are addressed and not skipped over.

Delete the frankfurter. Use a decent sausage instead. Crispy roll, cumberland banger and kimchi - what's not to like.

Wouldn’t that be a really traditional/usual meal if it was sauerkraut on a bratwurst? Served with pretzel or bread roll

Yep chuck it on.

Yes

I managed to pull out months of weeds/dead plants and get the fert in on Thu night before soxcat came and very grateful for the timing + this reprieve from watering and so forth. The one upshot of such a gloomy forecast. Gotta throw some seeds in soon...
