my previous post from yesterday https://lemmy.ml/post/49529603

The good news I guess is that the timer starts on monday because the 3rd is the jurisdictional court’s (might as well say Riverside County, CA) holiday for the 4th. And after my last post I went and bought a security camera, so worst case I can document my window being closed if I want to be a stupid coward that lets bullies play Calvinball with signed contracts against me. With my fucking life.

And it’s just really important to me that the window stay open in my room. It’s a whole list of deal breakers.

  • I don’t want to get fucking covid from the 8 other units filled with people here because I’m the last weirdo that goes to work and the store with a mask on. When I keep the window closed because of paranoia over this conflict, I feel like I need to mask in my own bedroom. And that’s fucked.

  • This luxurious closet sized bedroom is too small for a full sized person and two large cats to live on top of each other. They need to be able to lay out on the patio and enjoy life. And they need to be able to run back inside if something scares them, like the many coyote that have wilderness right fucking next door and I have seen in our back yard with my cats running from them. Can’t do ‘open it when they want back in’ no how, no way. (There’s also a giant drama about gates that enclose a section of the yard that apparently me closing them at night drives them into a steaming rage but keeps my guys safe)

  • There’s 80 pounds of goddamned cat litter right next to the window and 8 feet from where I sit at the computer and sleep. I need the ventilation.

  • I LIKE THE FRESH AIR.

  • The A/C is too fucking cold anyway

In addition to buying the security camera (fuck I need an sd card of course it’s separate) I also started looking for a new place to be miserable with a live-in landlord for too goddamned much money. But this shit is on a timeline WAY faster than that. Fuck.

So I don’t want to be cowed by this. But I also don’t want to get my life all fucked up by it. I don’t want this demon to steal a whole month’s rent (waited until the day after I paid this month’s rent the fucking parasite) AND a 600 dollar penalty if I lose. Not to mention paying 4x what I can afford for an extended stay room…

I’m completely in the right but on the other hand do you think the judge rents, or do you think it’s more likely they have some rental properties of their own and all their sentiments are with the law breaker psycho landlord?

Anyway this is my panic attack post

edit: I am purposefully not engaging with any comments on the subject of whether or not my landlord has a genuine gripe about me having my window open and my door closed in a room that does not have a temperature sensor for the A/C system. I offered to close the vent. I offered to have my rent raised to compensate. All was ignored. It’s about power tripping. So this post is about my rights in the face of that.

      They will just die of heat stroke in an unforgiving hellscape, while data centers that produce/facilitate slop/mass surveillance accelerate climate change and fresh water depletion. No big deal, right?

      So let me get this straight:

      If you’re rich, you’re privileged to destroy the planet and to live however you please.

      If you’re poor, you don’t deserve pets and you deserve to die of exposure, without a fair opportunity for shelter, because you said somebody’s attitude had the characteristics of being snide and chud-like when they were abusing you and because you were perceivably a bad tenant from the perspective of online trolls.

      Thanks for bullying this vulnerable user and exposing your ideology.

        Cry me a fucking river. You get what you give in terms of positivity on the internet. I’m just redirecting their negativity back at them.

          You get off on that, you aren’t guiding them to a better path. You want to traumatize OP. Not happening on my watch. Try again while I’m off-duty.

          Maybe more people will pick up the torch to support the hell out of the OP’s you choose to abuse. It must be self-defeating to imagine that you might be motivating people (who have more empathy than you) helping the people you work hard to psychologically torture.
