They should let me know where these parties are hosted beforehand so that I can avoid those vicinities altogether :)

[–] Addfwyn@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 2 years ago

Better yet, find some article in the lease of the property they are hosting the parties out of that makes gatherings of that size illegal. Pretty good odds there is something they are doing that would be a violation.

Seems an appropriate turnaround.

Berkeley Property Owners Association: Why We're "Housing Providers"

We politely decline the label "landlord" with its pejorative connotations.

Cf. job creators

[–] luchuan@lemmygrad.ml 15 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Our society is entirely different today, and the continued use of the legal term "landlord" is slander against our members and all rental owners. Tenants have important civil protections against unfair practices, monopoly pricing, poor maintenance, etc.

can we kill them by sending them to space, but strapped to the side of the rockets? im in a creative mood today

[–] relay@lemmygrad.ml 13 points 2 years ago (1 children)

That's kind of expensive to get them into space. It also creates the possibility of a kessler event with the space junk. Elon Musk has contributed enough for that problem. We can reduce the space pollution of strapping landlords to rockets by getting them high enough to where they still don't go into orbit, but also return to earth with as much contact with the atmosphere on the way down going terminal velocity and oxidize their living body/ corpse. A nice touch would be to make the carbon nanomaterials from hemp if possible. If we can continuously industrialize a process of doing this in an environmentally sustainably way we might make this the new socialist cremation process for funerary purposes. Who wouldn't love to know that their body will become a shooting star streaking across the sky?
