I moved into a community where you are contractually obliged to use X cable company, regardless of owning or renting your home. I didnt know this beforehand. I would like to break free of it. I did not think this applied to broadband also so i packed up the; cable boxes, router, remotes etc & dropped them off to cut the cord. I was given back a wifi router and told it was required as even homeowners cannot choose another internet provider. When the bill came, it was the facepalming same $%*& amount. I was told, my discount package no longer applied. I am frustrated as I royally screwed myself trying to cut the cord. I could buy my own router from but if i went with another service provider, no repair trucks are allowed in the community besides the one big one. Do i have any legal rights to not be forced into the company? I resent being overcharged each month for what is only broadband. Because i am no longer a new customer i am told I cannot quify for any discounts.
Hey folks, hope this is the right place for this. I live in an apartment in Cambridge and the landlord and superintendent are very incompetent. The basement entry has been under construction for almost a year (no notice that this would be happening) and it should be at most two weeks of work. They just started on the front; it's been a month and workers have been there for a single day and done very little (again, no notice and no warning when the front entrance would be blocked off).
What are my recourses for escalating this issue? I know repairs need to be done, but the fact that they're taking so long is really disruptive.
My boyfriend (39 M, NZ) and I (31 F, USA) met online 8 months ago. After chatting for months, I flew out to spend a few weeks with him. I've never gotten along so well with anyone in my life! It couldn't have gone better, and I was thrilled.
While there, we discussed what we do that has caused problems in past relationships. He said he finds it hard to plan ahead because of his pro sports schedule and he can lose track of time and vanish. Neither of these sounded like big deals, and there had already been a couple instances where I hadn't heard for him for 48 hours.
I returned to the US and he repeatedly said he wanted to see me again, but would change the subject when I tried to make plans. Otherwise everything was great with us.
Until almost a month ago, after he attended his sister's wedding and then started working on a new website. I asked him about visiting in Dec/Jan and he viewed it and just... vanished. Didn't respond to my messages or snaps, despite being active on all our platforms. After a week I sent an upset follow-up, which he didn't read. But he did send me a snapchat of him on a beach and then (when I responded) say he wasn't ignoring me.
After a few more days he finally read my messages, apologized, and eventually said he was working on the site and lost his sense of the outside world. But for the past 10 days he'll send me a message every couple of days and ignores me or changes the subject when I bring up being unhappy about this or wanting to make plans for Dec/Jan.
I don't know how to proceed. He warned me about this behavior, so should I just wait for the website to be finished with the assumption that everything will be back to normal then? Communicating my needs isn't working well, since this results in him vanishing for even longer. And if we don't visit in Dec/Jan, it's unlikely to happen before spring due to my schedule.
I've ended all of my serious adult relationships around this time of year, so there's a chance his behavior isn't that bad and my subconscious is just being flighty and looking for a reason to leave. That said, I really do want things to work out with him, as I care about him deeply. I need outside party perspectives here. How do I address this lack of communication?
I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.
Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.
The nurse asked the rabbit, “what is your blood type?”
“I am probably a type O” said the rabbit.
The doctor says it terminal.

Alot of great jokes get posted here! However just because you have a joke, doesn't mean it's a dad joke.
THIS IS NOT ABOUT NSFW, THIS IS ABOUT LONG JOKES, BLONDE JOKES, SEXUAL JOKES, KNOCK KNOCK JOKES, POLITICAL JOKES, ETC BEING POSTED IN A DAD JOKE SUB
Try telling these sexual jokes that get posted here, to your kid and see how your spouse likes it.. if that goes well, Try telling one of your friends kid about your sex life being like Coca cola, first it was normal, than light and now zero , and see if the parents are OK with you telling their kid the "dad joke"
I'm not even referencing the NSFW, I'm saying Dad jokes are corny, and sometimes painful, not sexual
So check out r/jokes for all types of jokes
r/unclejokes for dirty jokes
r/3amjokes for real weird and alot of OC
r/cleandadjokes If your really sick of seeing not dad jokes in r/dadjokes

Do your worst!
How the hell am I suppose to know when it’s raining in Sweden?
We told her she can lean on us for support. Although, we are going to have to change her driver's license, her height is going down by a foot. I don't want to go too far out on a limb here but it better not be a hack job.
Ants don’t even have the concept fathers, let alone a good dad joke. Keep r/ants out of my r/dadjokes.
But no, seriously. I understand rule 7 is great to have intelligent discussion, but sometimes it feels like 1 in 10 posts here is someone getting upset about the jokes on this sub. Let the mods deal with it, they regulate the sub.

I'm surprised it hasn't decade.

Gender is fluid.
Two muffins are in an oven, one muffin looks at the other and says "is it just me, or is it hot in here?"
Then the other muffin says "AHH, TALKING MUFFIN!!!"
Don't you know a good pun is its own reword?
But let me give it a shot.
For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.
I said "hey look, an escaPEA"
No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!
Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂
It really does, I swear!
He’s the new temp.

Heard they've been doing some shady business.
but then I remembered it was ground this morning.
Edit: Thank you guys for the awards, they're much nicer than the cardboard sleeve I've been using and reassures me that my jokes aren't stale
Edit 2: I have already been made aware that Men In Black 3 has told a version of this joke before. If the joke is not new to you, please enjoy any of the single origin puns in the comments
They’re on standbi
