if you unironically think "proshippers made the selfship community", I will banish you to the dumbass dimension for all eternity.

So the good news is that my supervisor finally got back to me about my annual performance review and I'm getting a 35 cent raise, which is pretty good for this area. The bad news is that it isn't gonna cover the half of how much they raised my rent

there must be so many gaps in jieum’s memory

she was the girl of many trades but can she remember how she learnt any of those skills? No they were all from her past lives so they’re gone. Can she remember leaving her neglectful family to live with ae-gyeong? No because she was from a past life, so where does ji-eum think she grew up? She remembers being good at school and her awards but not if anybody was there in the audience for her. She says in her phone call to her superior that she remembers switching departments before, but she doesn’t remember working in the hotel. She cooks meals the exact way as ae-gyeong taught her and she taught ae-gyeong, but she doesn’t remember having learnt them. if she can’t remember anything to do with her past lives, she wouldn’t be able to remember anything that had happened in the past few months the drama is set over.

that must be such an odd and confusing existence, to only remember small dots and flashes of your life, and a giant gap in recent memory, and she doesn’t even seem to be affected by it either? Did she go to the hospital after coming to consciousness standing on a bridge with no idea how she got there? Did they run tests on her brain to see if something had gone wrong? Does she think she suffered a mental breakdown?

What is going on in ji-eum’s brain in those final scenes i want to dissect her thoughts like a grape

so im moving back home next month to save some money during my last semester of grad school, and as grateful as i am for even having that option, a not so small part of me is very scared that it may turn out to be... not quite as temporary as i am currently hoping it will be🙂

Love getting lectured by my stepfather about the kitchen after I share some of what I was cooking with them. 😑

I already tend to avoid using the kitchen bc of how cluttered and messy Mom tends to leave it... and now I feel like I'm getting punished for offering y'all some of my cooking.

I feel nauseous having to listen to conversations my brother is initiating about money. He literally constantly whines about the fact that he has to save up for 3 years (THREE years) to build a home. He will be 28. When he might build a fucking HOUSE. And he still fucking cries about how it's too long. Sorry but nothing in this world makes me feel more pathetic than my own family

[starswallowingsea]

got a sudden anxiety spike about having to move out after next summer but did a quick google of rent prices in the area i plan on moving to and. its not unaffordable for one person. $600/month isnt that bad. even at $15/hr 35 hours a week at my current job i make twice that which will still allow me to put money on my loans, buy groceries (~$120/month) and get little things for myself every now and then. though i wont be saving that much for other things...

It's so frustrating as a person on disability that I have to use my limited amount of energy every year to renew my food stamps

[dirt-grub]

There’s something so late stage capitalism about finally getting a $400 car from the year 2000 but it’s also on its last legs like my last one and the AC doesn’t work so I gotta drive to try job at the mall with the windows down and the smog entering my lungs lest I breathe the exhaust from the car. Also the car and insurance for the car used almost all me and my partners savings from the last 8 months. We work 3 jobs put together <3

debating whether or not I can actually do ghiralink week hahaha

[steal-this-idea]

But greed must be at the heart of it, no?

And I would think the biggest source of it would be rents

Things like apartments come with certain built-in and recurring costs such as property tax (because government needs to be funded), repairs/maintenance (probably the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics's fault), utilities (most of which I'm responsible for paying anyway but a monthly average should be knowable), and a superintendent (whose pay, aside from getting a free apartment to live in, can come in the form of subscriptions from each of the apartments in the complex)

I may be leaving stuff out like the costs of a property manager since my landlord owns many complexes, its corporation subcontracts with property managers to oversee groups of them (but that's many more apartments so monthly subscription fees should be lower than that of a single on-site superintendent...should be) but rent shouldn't be much more than those costs

But for some reason rent is almost always WAY MORE than those costs and it always rises, often (way) out of synch with inflation

To use my apartment as an example. Since 2011, inflation has been about 37½%. The inflation on my leases (same apartment with zero capital improvements, same paintjob, same carpet, same fixtures, etc.) has been exactly 50%. The "market rate" of apartment rents, however, has been over 90% in the same period in my area.

The inflation on all my other bills has either tracked with inflation or has even managed to be less than the official rate (my cellphone provider and ISP for examples). My wages have even managed to clock in at just-above the rate of inflation (about 40%) over that time period

Only one thing has been askew and that has been rent so I'm prone to blaming my life's unaffordability on the human tapeworms who feel entitled to an ever greater lifestyle simply because they own land

Whether via strict rent controls on existing structures or converting all rentals into regularly audited non-profits or local/state/federal government underwriting the costs of building new apartments and starter homes until local housing demand is sated, I would think inflation overall could be very well tamed.

A LOT of "inflation" is actually corporations taking advantage of "inflation" to hide profiteering.

Help Us survive the devastating GazaWar

✅ Verified campaign – please check vetteing section below 🔍

My husband Mohanad and I both worked as administrators at the Palace of Justice in Gaza.

We got engaged just two months before the war,

bought an apartment, and began dreaming of a new life together. But the war changed everything. Our workplace and apartment were destroyed, and we lost our jobs. Despite it all, we chose to move forward and got married in the middle of the war, with no wedding ceremony—just a simple union that symbolized resilience amid the devastation.

We’ve been displaced multiple times, each time facing a new eviction order and starting over again. We were forced to leave everything behind and flee with only a few belongings. The displacement was devastating, as we had to leave behind the life we built and the dreams we held for our future.

Today, we live in a small home in Al-Nuseirat, struggling to cover basic needs like food, water, and alternative electricity, facing monthly expenses we can hardly bear. Recently, a new eviction notice was issued for our area, and we don’t know what lies ahead. We’re searching for online work and have skills we can utilize, but finding opportunities has been very challenging under these conditions.

After renting the apartment in Nuseirat, we thought we had found a safe haven from the horrors of war. But on the night of 3-11-2024, explosions erupted nearby, and we never imagined one would hit our apartment. Suddenly, a missile struck; walls shook, parts collapsed, and windows shattered, leaving the room we had just been in destroyed.

We miraculously survived, but the place that once felt like a refuge had become a scene of chaos and destruction. With heavy hearts, we gathered what little remained and moved on once again, hoping to find shelter far from this endless devastation.

[radicalgraff]

"Fuck this shit"

Seen outside The Linden, new Luxury Apartments in West Philadelphia. Most of the units and every store are currently vacant because the monthly rent is triple the rest of the neighborhood. A few days ago 17 windows were smashed and painted messages were left.
