ugh looks like we can't get the apartment because they want every occupant to individually have enough income where the rent is under 1/3 of their gross pay
well the rent is more than 100% of my gross pay even if it's under 1/3 what my nephew makes but since I'm listed as an occupant they're going to turn him down
dios mio
What do they do with kids?
It's only for adults, if someone's child turns 18 they won't renew their lease unless the child moves out or gets a job paying no less than ~$2800/month
I'm not sure that's legal.
When me and my housemates were looking for places a person from a management company told us they wouldn't rent to us since we were a bunch of unmarried dudes.
We were like, you know that's illegal, right? (Martial status being a protected class in WA)
They just shrugged.
I mean it's technically illegal to not rent to my nephew+me because my income doesn't meet requirements because he's disabled
but he's a STRONG INDEPENDENT BLIND MAN so he didn't bother to mention his disability
he's deeply afraid of getting things just on account of his disability, and I'm like, bro life sucks and will fuck you so you use whatever you can
so i just read about another hot-female-teacher-boning-young-teen thing and so as i get through the article i see something i've never seen before in a story like this: his parents knew (24 y/o teacher, 13 y/o boy), approved, and often invited her over for dinner since she was his girlfriend
*wipes sweat off forehead*
What's insulting to me is that what this woman did is terrible, but because of how our society views older woman and under age male its all back slaps and "Yeah man she's hot." No she's a fucking predator who groomed her victim, there is nothing "hot" about what she did and she should get a lengthy prison sentence.
I'm much more ambivalent when it's some story about a teacher getting sentenced when they banged like, a 17 year old. Still wildly unethical and no doubt a shit person and should absolutely not be allowed to be a teacher, but on the other hand I was pretty clear on which teachers I did and did not want to bang when I was 16.
But 13 is a whole other ballpark, far far beyond any sort of wiggle room. Parents should be getting charged too.
Any teacher/student relationship is squicky even if they are over legal age its not an even partnership and manipulation is clearly being applied. Its like a Doctor sleeping with a patient kind of ugly.
Also this story follows that great one from Idaho where a dad forced his 14 year old daughter to marry her literal rapist (as in he forced her to have sex not like statutory). Been a great time for US sexual politics. And looking at how shit its getting in Brazil I worry that will be our future if Trump wins the presidency.
I would like some money because these are artisanal nuggets of wisdom philistine.
I was 13 and I lost my virginity to a 26 year old woman
At the time, I did not consider the relationship exploitative and I did not consider it harmful or with really fucked up power dynamics
But actually in my 20s I came to understand it was enormously damaging to my sexual development, my understanding of relationships, and help set me on a really horrendous path in my life
i watched star trek first contact for the first time last night
haha the guy with the weird forehead said 'Assimilate This'
And then what happened?

Re: the teacher student thing i don't want to imply the teacher wasn't at fault because she absolutely was and she should have known better, but from what i read it seemed like the teenager was aggressive in pursuing her
Obviously teenage impulses/crushes should not be indulged by targets of said impulses and it's not like the teenager did anything illegal but i feel like his behavior and his family's behavior should also be condemned

look an older attractive female teacher finding interest in a student is *closes window blinds* not acceptable in society and even if the student is of age *locks door* and fully consenting, we need to understand that the power dynamic here is *open laptop* totally unacceptable and something we should not applaud or fantasize in anyway *unzips pants*

the newspaper questions should be changed to 'do you get your news information from a shitty source like fox or cnn or do you get it from a shitty source like gawker and buzfeed
Whether or not I am a Gen X'er or a Millennial depends on the arbitrary cutoff points for those generational definitions, which like all generational definitions are completely arbitrary.

what free money
there aren't any statutory damages
all we could do is sue them to force them to stop doing it, otherwise we'd have to prove harm which is actually pretty hard!
in the mean time, lol we still gotta live somewhere and we ain't got the money or time to engage in lengthy civil suits
So the law is effectively unenforceable. Maybe $bigRightsGroup would sponsor a class-action case against $bigShittyApartmentCorp, but for individual landlords the law may as well not exist.

Ephebophiles and pedophiles in general probably need mental health care. They do not have healthy desires.

Been a great time for US sexual politics. And looking at how shit its getting in Brazil I worry that will be our future if Trump wins the presidency.
Oh definitely, any teacher who does that sort of thing with a student should never be allowed to teach again full stop
But there is a big difference in sexual agency between a high schooler and some 13 year old. For the high schooler it's that power dynamic that is not OK to me, the age part is... gross, but not uniquely so? For a 13 year old it's just complete Fuck No, they don't know what's going on at all.
A trap is for fish: when you've got the fish, you can forget the trap. A snare is for rabbits: when you've got the rabbit, you can forget the snare. Words are for meaning: when you've got the meaning, you can forget the words.

Nobody is attracted to 13 year old boys, not even 13 year old girls
Clearly something fucked up going on there
