So we are renting a single family home in Colorado and we just got a series of texts from the tenant telling us that the property is overpriced and not finished. They said there was a small leak in the main shower and a light that is flickering, which he said might be the bulb. They also said there is a small gap where the garage meets the concrete. I told them I’d be out tomorrow to address the issues but that didn’t seem to satisfy them. They toured the place twice and knew what they were getting; my wife and I pride ourselves in being responsible homeowners and this feels shitty. Do we just deal with this for the next year or is there a way to get them out? We told them we'd release them from the lease but I don’t know if that's the right course of action either.
I’m looking for some advice from others that have more experience. Thanks in advance!
Edited for story update. At the bottom.
This is my first post on Reddit, long time lurker. There's a ton of backstory so I'll include it, but I'll make a note of where the most recent drama started. Feel free to scroll down to VEGAS. Get ready for some reading, lol.
Before all of this started, I had the shittiest, most disgusting roommate ever. Reused floss, left her bloody underwear on the bathroom floor, shit piled up 3' high in her room so that when she opened the door she couldn't close it again. Crap literally overflowing out of her room into the hallway. Unbelievably shitty experience, but I learned and am better because of it. After I kicked her out I lived on my own for a year and was completely fine with a spare room. However, my best friend approached me and asked if I'd consider having a roommate--as her cousin was looking for a place close to me. She had finished beauty school, works full time, has her own car--the polar opposite of my last roommate.
I said yeah, sure, I might as well rent out the spare room to help out with rent and utilities. If we got along and she was respectful of me and followed two BASIC rules, she could stay. The rules are 1) Clean up after yourself in a reasonable time frame (a day or so), and 2) guys aren't allowed to spend the night because I didn't know her. I made both very clear before I even asked her if she was interested. She said she was comfortable with accepting them. Haha, think she followed the two rules?
I'll leave out all the times she left dishes sitting for 2 weeks or literally let food rot away on the counter. That probably happens a lot. Let's start with her getting a boyfriend while I'm studying abroad for two weeks, getting back, and she completely went through the common spaces and picked up everything that was "mine" and not "common", threw it in a trash bag, and threw it in my room. Mind you, this wasn't a pair of shoes or a sweater that I left on the couch. She went through every drawer, every cabinet, on every surface, and THREW all of my belongings in a trash bag and into my room. That was the most disrespected I'd ever felt--I had lived here for two years and sure, my drawers were cluttered because of it. She had lived here for 3 months before deciding that she was going to clear it all out. Even my obvious DECOR from my trips cleared off of the entertainment center that I bought, my painting supplies removed from INSIDE the entertainment center. I cried for a solid hour wh

Hey reddit, I've been having this issue with my SO for a while, and it's not TERRIBLE but it's starting to get on my nerves. Every time I advise him against something, or recommend he do something for the betterment of his financial situation or just basic adult functions he starts a cyclical and childish argument about how I "mother" him or that I "act like I'm better than him" when really I'm just trying to help! He's always had issues with money since he has no idea how to save or live frugally. He constantly needs financial aid from me, which I'm pretty heart broken about since I've been saving to go to Thailand; savings which he has completely drained with his inability to save for himself and basic needs like rent, insurance, and doctor's appointments. Heres three examples of my "motherhood issues" from today alone. -This mornig our cats were out of food and I only had 100$ in my savings for our anniversary next week. I asked if he would grab some food with $40 his dad gave him the day before. He refused and we had such a huge fight about it that I stormed out and went to the store myself to buy food for them. When I got home I did lecture him about how much money I let him have to support himself, and he won't even buy a little bag of cat chow. He said I was "mothering" him. -As we drove through our neighborhood today, he texted through the whole residential area. I hate, hate, hate when people text and drive. You could kill someone! I scolded him for texting and driving and asked him how he would feel if he hit someone's kid because he wasn't paying attention! He said I was "mothering" him. -We recently chipped in as a household (Me, him, our roommate) for a new clothes dryer. It run us all about $150. I paid mine immediately, and my SO didn't have the money so he's on a payment plan with our roommate for 40/week for 4 weeks. Today, he sold a bunch of extra collectables he's had for a while and made a profit of around $250. I said "Great! Now you can pay back our roommate and not have to pay out of future paychecks!" I was wrong. He is not doing that. He wants to "take advantage" of the payments our roommate said he could make. I told him it wasn't a good idea, and he should just pay the money he owes. He said I was "mothering" him.
I'm so annoyed! I feel like, being freshly 20, I should be the irresponsible one! But here I am having to babysit a 25 year old who complains about how I act like I'm better than him and that I
... keep reading on reddit ➡Yesterday, we received a one-star review on Google saying how irresponsible we are because we kept the restaurant open (the government had not yet announced closure). With the review, the customer posts his coke in front of us, sitting on a table in our restaurant. Is this satire?
So, a little backstory: me (17F), my sister (15F), and my dad (48M) are vacationing in the Rocky Mountains in Colorado.
My dad is a fucking TERRIBLE driver. As someone who’s currently learning to drive, it annoys me to no end. He regularly speeds, but somehow manages to talk his way out of every ticket he’s ever given. He always, ALWAYS looks at his phone while driving and snaps at me when I tell him not to.
We arrived in Colorado today, and were driving into the Rockies. As anyone who’s been here knows, the roads are pretty narrow and curvy. What does my dad do? Drive like a normal person? NO. He’s regularly going 20 miles above the speed limit and once goes actually DOUBLE the speed limit in the area. In these roads, you fuck up once and you can cause a massive crash. I tell him that he’s going double the speed limit and he tells me to just “let him drive.”
Asshole.
My sister, a staunch defender of my dad’s stupid driving, always tells me to shut up and that nobody cares when I comment on it. This isn’t new behaviour, either- this is how he’s regularly driven for YEARS.
Once we actually arrived at our destination, I laid into him. He asked me if I was angry about his driving, I said yes, and he replied with a nonchalant “Sorry.” I shouted at him that sorry wasn’t near good enough, that he needed to stop being irresponsible and reckless, and that he was going to get into a car accident one day. I told him that if I got injured in a car accident he caused, it would be on his head. Of course, this made no difference.
I fucking YELLED at him, guys. I told him I wasn’t going to be scolded for being the only sane member of the family and that dying at seventeen was not on my list of priorities. I told him that he was acting like a teenager and that not getting into a car accident doesn’t mean you’re a skilled driver- it just means you’re lucky.
I will NOT tolerate being shamed for being the only member of my family responsible enough to realize that driving recklessly is bad. If the rest of my family wants to accuse me of ruining their weekend, that’s their problem. Trying to have a shiny spine here, guys- wish me luck.
This site is exploding with accountability posts for Travis Scott after the tragic mishandling of his Astroworld fest. There's no doubt those are warranted and he is one party responsible for the chaos and loss of life, but I haven't seen much about the organizers who could have prevented it in the first place.
Live Nation is already known for price gouging and cutting costs. It is no surprise that being hyperfocused on profits and cheaping out on expenses would lead to unsafe conditions at a huge public event. In fact, insufficient security at other Live Nation events has caused similar crowd conditions, injury, and death before. Fans fell from a broken barricade at Snoop Dogg and were crushed at Gwen Stefani in 2016, and thankfully only sustained minor injuries from a crowd crush in Central Park in 2018. Live Nation's cheap infrastructure caused a stage collapse and seven deaths in 2011. The company has also been sued for numerous OSHA violations, some of which resulted in brain damage and permanent physical injury. The list goes on and on and demonstrates that the dangerous scenarios created at Live Nation's events are neither coincidental nor inherent to large concerts. Live music can be organized safely but Live Nation chooses not to do so for the sake of nickels and dimes. Their greed and negligence along with Travis' onstage behavior basically guaranteed a deadly environment at Astroworld. After being repeatedly sued for injury and death, they figured it still wasn't worth it to invest in appropriate security and medical teams? I would think that's cheaper than the legal disaster they're about to face, plus the event could have actually been a good time. Wtf. Of course water stations were made sparse to sell mo

Anyone else in a similar predicament and what are your plans? I just want to cancel the layaway payments already (last payment this april) and it seems like it's so difficult to get it done. Email and phonecalls don't push through.
Nun the wiser.
Is it too early to let them have my kid for the night?

So about 4 days ago, we got a letter and my parents werent home. It was a letter that needed to be signed for so I did and put it where my younger brother couldnt reach it on top of a kitchen cabinet. I told my sister about it. After about 30 seconds I completely forgot about this letters existence. fast forward to today, dad comes into the house yelling that I am the most irresponsible person ever and that the letter had a meeting they had to attend. I tought I was getting sht under control after managing to clean my wardrobe this week after 3 years but apparently not. Fck this -.-
Edit forgot the damn tl;dr sorry folks
TL;DR forgot to give dad a super important meeting letter and they missed the meeting.
Basically the title. I live on campus. So I pay tuition and room and board. +$10k and I can’t even reliably connect to the internet. This has been going on for months and it’s insane. I guess just use an Ethernet cable for now. Good luck if you do your work on a tablet tho. And god forbid you try to Google something on your phone and having no data.
I hope you can feel the stress and anxiety I carry on a daily basis because of your actions. You decided to make 7 kids without preparing for our future, needs, and everything else. You just made 7 kids because you needed a male child, and after getting that? Now what?
Mama, Papa, bakit kailangan na ako at lola ko yung mabaliw kakaisip kung saan kukuha ng pagkain at tution?
Mmama, Papa, bakit kailangan ko buhatin yung mga kapatid ko na dapat responsibilidad ninyo.
Why does it seem so wrong for me to want a better life for myself? Why am I perceived as selfish just because I want a life outside this shithole that you placed me in? Will I be a bad person if I decide one day na I am done and I am sick of being in this kind of situation? I just want to be happy. I want to sleep soundly with no worries nor fear, bakit parang ang sama sama ko for wanting such a thing?
And now just because I refused to give you money, you guys just suddenly decide to disown? And to my sisters, I do all these because I care. Pero bakit parang masama parin ako sa paningin ninyo? I act cold and distant because none of you will ever understand the pain I carry on a daily basis, it is because of the age gap- panganay ako I am the only one working and all of you are still studying.
I just want all this to end, I want my sanity back.

Following is an opinion piece by Editor in Chief Corey Noles.
I’m done.
I’m tired of watching the worst of the worst in this industry that I have grown to love intentionally destroy what could be the greatest public health breakthrough since penicillin.
If you have received a letter from the FDA regarding one of the brands in question over the last two weeks: you shouldn’t be shocked. I’ve yet to see a bottle that I didn’t feel had it coming.
To take a technology that is saving literally millions of lives and turn it into some kind of smut to line your pocket books is shameful. While I don’t believe anyone sits around a table looking for ways to “hook children,” I DO believe that irresponsible and reckless marketing decisions were made with no consideration for the individuals who need this technology the most.
It’s about a quick buck. Or another fancy watch.
People flashing their money around makes them look like Martin “Pharma Bro” Shkreli. If the owner of Nicorette or Merck Pharamaceuticals behaved like that, there would be a revolution.
It’s time to start thinking of yourselves as businessmen (and businesswomen), not as rock stars.
Your decisions affect millions of people. The FDA is right now taking actions that are hard to argue with — and it’s your fault. This childish branding and disregard for warning after warning have come to a head.
For that, everyone will pay.
THIS has everything to do with the constant flavor bans discussions and frankly take away the only leg we have to stand on.
We are an industry of survivors. Of people who saw a problem, identified it, and found a solution without the help of our government. Issues like this are tainting the great things that vapor has brought to the world.
How can a politician stand behind an industry when trash like that is floating around and on the background of every news story?
They can’t. And they won’t.
Today, I’m calling on people to take a stance.
Consumers, stores, distributors, look at your shelves and make good decisions. Stop carrying these products. If you don’t buy them, they won’t produce them. And if the product doesn’t change, our days are numbered. Make responsible decisions and STOP thinking of this industry as a three-year money grab.
I don’t want to be doing this in 2022. I want to be doing this in 2042. Without changes TODAY, that’s not going to happen.
In the end, we have to come together and stand united. We can’t win this fight if we keep steppi
