ppl would eat crab apples from trees. In retrospect, a lot of urban soil is excessively high in lead. But it's maybe possible to just plant some apple trees and they'll eventually provide some food security.

Also would make those empty lots into more park like structures

I am about to create a Website Listing all empty homes, In Australia 11% of homes are empty , a four bedroom brick veneer opposite where I live in Queensland, has been empty for 16 years the owner lives in Victoria the lawn gets mowed every two months, this would be a good place to squat, it will not be easy as most of our politicians collect rent. and they will pass legislation to ban listing empty homes. the Website should make the owners of the properties either sell or rent out , with so many houses on the market prices would drop . It would be great to get thousands of addresses, this should happen all over the World , WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ON THIS,

r/squatting - We advocate for squatter’s rights and believe everyone has a right to a roof over their head. Whether it's occupying land or vacant property for personal, communal or political reasons, this is the place to talk about it.

2.) make an account. Use a generic email it doesn’t ask for verification.

3.) after you make your account set location and go to the rewards section and redeem your drink/side/dessert

4.) rinse and repeat

Repaired my phone 6 months ago, then it broke again. Repaired it again yesterday, then it broke again next day, so they repaired it again today.

Cost like 160g grand total, could have just bought another phone for that price

My theory is they hire some guy to swear at you and give you eviction notices every time you try to force them to fix something to discourage you from trying to get anything fixed.

Ive had 10ish landlords and 10/10 would yell and swear at tenants.

Consistently I'm the only tenant putting up a fight.

Main problem is verification services like https://nscverifications.org/welcome-to-verification-services/

Apparently people can also just call the registrar’s office and verify student name, major, degree, and year awarded.

If you are willing to pay around 500 dollars you will get degrees official transcripts and pretty much everything you need. But like i'm not sure if what to do with official transcripts, like during the interview just throwing them down on the table randomly would look sus.

Looks like an mlm/pyramid scheme to me, but if it makes money i need money

This isn’t even an iPhone vs. Android debate. This is specifically about Samsung. They have the worst “budget” phones on the market, they deteriorate the fastest of any of them. With each update the previous iterations of the galaxy line of phones get slower and slower until in two years they feel virtually useless. The battery management is horrendous, apps are allowed to eat battery for breakfast lunch and dinner. Including their own software apps. The Android skin is slow, clunky, and honestly ugly compared to stock android. If android is the route you want to go, Google pixel and one plus are much better options and will last you longer.

Sorry about my rant. Happened with 2/2 budget Samsung phones.

They usually say something like owning an apartment is worse than renting an apartment and I should save up for a house because that's better.

If you add up all the income I've made in my life, it's probably nowhere close to being enough to buy a house anywhere in my city. But some trashy apartment? I think I could afford that eventuallly. I only rent trashy apartments and the landlords don't fix anything worth a damn and I end up doing half of my own repairs - cuz at least that way it's done properly. it annoys me every time that I fix up some rich person's apartment, then I move, then fix up that rich person's apartment rinse and repeat. And it's annoying that the landlord tells me if I modify the room (ex repairs) that violates my lease and they'll evict me.

But if I own it? At least I just fix it once.

Irl people also say if i buy it, it could have like black mold. Like dude, my current place has black mold already. I think most of the irl ppl I know are pay check to pay check, but I don't use taxis or buy take out the way they do.

(My bathroom door literally just fell of its hinges.)

I've noticed variations of 'calm down' don't work.

Lots of ppl in arguments in the hood
