At least he's got a cool hat

[–] infectoid@lemmy.world 35 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It’s not his. He borrowed it off a mate.

Not really. More of an acquaintance, or maybe a ‘work friend’.

"I only got so many fucks to give. I'll pass on this one."
This is a healthy mentality... So long as it's not something essential...

Stop delaying that thing you need to do. You can't pass on it.

You're not my real dad! Don't tell me what to do!

[–] zerofk@lemm.ee 19 points 1 year ago

Agreed, koala friend. Agreed.

Sometimes you gotta admit it is what it is and move on.

[–] intensely_human@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

What if it’s not what it is though??

I would watch a ted talk by this koloa

After doing back breaking and expensive work cleaning a close relative’s house up after a hoarder rented with this exact attitude, you can fuck right off with it, mr koala.

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@literature.cafe 10 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

I'm confused about whether you don't think hoarders aren't mentally ill?

Pretty obviously things wrong with them.

Hell, on that topic, don't help your landlord friend for free. They want to run a business they can pay for your labor.

Not when they are terminally ill, elderly and on a pension. Other people are allowed to have illnesses and conditions and one person with an illness is not an excuse to take advantage of the vulnerable.

At best it’s an explanation. It Doesn’t give them a pass with that behavior.

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@literature.cafe 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

A pension.

And income from their rental properties.

Their business.

But, hey, they made a life out of exploiting renters, why not exploit their friends and family too before they kick it?

Nah, you're right.

Mentally ill people just need to stop being ill, lazy bastards!

Not... what?

Other people are allowed to have illnesses and conditions

Ok?

one person with an illness is not an excuse to take advantage of the vulnerable.

Then... stop letting them take advantage of you?

[–] Smoogs@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

‘Letting them”

Manipulators are in the wrong. Stop shaming victims.

You changed your tune pretty fucking quick. What happened to his terminal illness being used as an excuse?

[–] PersnickityPenguin@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Ah so you've met my elderly mum
