How much?
#323
my last apartment in montreal was infested with bedbugs which was probably the worst thing that ever happened to me because i was also mega mental. last week i thought i found some in this apartment and flipped out but after searching my mattress every few hours for the past week i've decided that i must have just found some random bugs (yes i told my landlord).

i was originally going to brag about how great my apartment is but it's been a tough week for this place's reputation.
#324
ugh god bedbugs are a living nightmare
#325
This discussion is bringing me back to the days of shady landlords and summer-long wars of attrition with bedbugs praying to God for a cold-snap.
#326
i once had a hippy landlord that didmt "believe" in pesticide so she refused to pay for a real exterminator, just some Faggot "Holistic Pest Management Professional" it was awful

another sign that liberals are Shit
#327
I once had a landlord that bought his apartment complex in an auction and failed to pay the water bill every other month, had a drug-feign, thieving maintenance man, and had the police on regular patrol in the neighborhood for various domestic violence charges/drug dealers. Between stealing electricity and being able to afford rent with half a paycheck, it was probably the best place I've ever lived in.
#328
last time it was because a neighbour of mine brought an infested couch off the street.
#329
who even does that these days. i see furniture on the street and start to panic
#330
yea why not spend money on something when you're broke.
#331
i mean i'm all for free stuff but after having to deal with beadbugs before in my life i see furniture on the street and am like NO NO NNOOONONONO
#332
i'll make sure to put trigger warnings whenever I post something from the ikea catalogue
#333

most buildings with more than 7 units built before 1950 or something are rent controlled, you just gotta hop on that shit when it opens up. when I last saw this place there was no floor and I was hopping on beams to take measurements but they actually put in a floor so it works pretty well. I like it. it's only like 250 sqft but it has a separate kitchen and bathroom w/ a bathtub, and most importantly FOUR windows (my last place had zero), it's a courtyard view but I like it a lot so far



So, you're a college educated white woman who worked in advertising. Then you worked as a CIA agent to further US interests abroad. Then you moved to back to NYC, displacing people of color. Then you attack the culture of poverty you live in, not on the grounds of poverty, but on the grounds that they don't respect your female privilege. Then, angling your white privilege, you get a full time job with benefits while complaining about your "lack" of health care.

All you need now is to be jewish, and you will have pulled the duplicitous liberal hat trick.

Let this be a lesson, folks: never trust liberals, feminists, or other identity-based "leftists."

Ah yes, roseweird. Classic manoeuvre of the regressive: the denial of one's own privilege.

It depends, really. If you're talking about lower class women of any ethnic group, definitely. They are constantly at risk of domestic violence that is a creation of the ideology of the bourgeois.

But if you are talking about the college educated, "white collar" white female, then absolutely not. They are the most privileged group in the first world. Because feminism has been recuperated by Capital, you see women like the CEO of Yahoo and Sarah Palin try and claim the mantle of "Feminist." Male enrollment in college plummets while (white collar, white) women continue to get scholarships at alarming rates. The last bastion of male white collar jobs, like engineering and IT and so forth, have been aggressively targeted by "Feminist" groups seeking to apply a kind of privileged, hysterical form of Capitalism to these fields. "Men's rights" is a reactionary movement, sure, but it is a reaction to an invasion of bourgeois identity politics.

Every "feminist" assimilator--and they are almost exclusively white and come from white collar families--is essentially cannibalizing both the lower class (whom legitimately suffer gender oppression) and the rapidly failing white collar class (or the "professional managerial" class). People of color--of both genders--and all men of the proletariat should universally rise up and say "white feminism? No thank you!"

It has nothing to do with men's rights. It has to do with class analysis, which was done away with by feminists. In much the same way that Jews consistently refuse to acknowledge their own privilege as a specialized subset of white privilege.

just shut up you fruity nothing

its not rent controlled, its rent stabilized. the only way you could get a rent controlled apartment is by marrying into a family with one

one time after a sleepless night spent constantly slapping myself while half-awake in a bed bug addled paranoia, i finally opened my eyes to see a bloated looking bug lurching along and i crushed it, spilling its blood, my blood, all over the pillow case, staining it permanently
