Wish me luck. Tomorrow is when I send the letter to my landlord basically saying "Hey, actually do something helpful about this year long mouse infestation or I'm not paying rent"
soooooo...either something will happen or I'll just get evicted. Either way, I do wanna move somewhere else.

They FINALLY finished the construction in my basement!
What I was told would be a โ4 or 5 day jobโ ended up stretching from late last December to beyond the middle of January!
Which means I basically didnโt have convenient access to my living room for over two weeks ๐ซ

That and I just straight up do not trust Rocket Money. Everything about it seems like a massive scam and their commercials are annoying.

I don't need Rocket Money. I'm the type of poor where I actually look at my credit card bill and go "What the hell is this seven dollar charge from!?"
I'm literally incapable of being in a situation where I'm paying hundreds of dollars every month on stuff without noticing it.

Thanks, Rocket Money! You having access to all of my personal finance and banking information to let me know that my Doordash account reactivated itself was totally worth it!
(for real though, good for you, I just super don't trust Rocket Money lmao)

I think the discussion is more about not using "Does it pass the Bechdel test?" as a sign of quality. Like yes, we can agree it's good when something DOES pass the Bechdel test, but something passing the Bechdel test doesn't mean it's good.
