'Xactly. Most people don't or can't fight back. It's an effortless source of immoral extra income.

It's also why they generally won't bother fighting somebody with a bit of gumption. Since they get most people with no effort, why spend any on the odd egg that stands up for themselves?

ALWAYS do a full video walkthrough of a new space! Get close ups of all existing damage and any hinky or incomplete work.

It's a huge pain, but most landlords dont have the patience to bother with small claims courts and will simply fail to appear.

Getting your money back can still be a trial.

That was the old one. They've reshot it to make it more relevant to the new recruits.

We need "Tremors in Space" where the worms tunnel through space and attack... things.

You have no idea what you're talking about! We've got a friend that -lives- there! She's been home a lot after funding was cut from her 20-year scientific study for some reason.

She's found that there's sometimes ants in her kitchen and Seattle often has a musty smell!

IT'S AN ABSOLUTE HELLSCAPE!

I'd think "solo parenting" may cover it, but even that seems too simplistic.

Grandparents, siblings, friends, etc. Often take on parental responsibilities if not legal ones. But parents truly without other support are out there.

What Jenni said. "Marriage" does not equal "support" or "family".

It's not fatal to the story, but it is a simple misconception that shouldn't be propagated any more than it already is.

There are two technologies that we need here: 1) a ray-gun that makes people aware of their own hypocrisy and 2) a water additive that will make them ashamed of it.

Don't worry, once we start tracking a world-killer asteroid sales will go through the roof!

Well, for a time, at least...

A corollary is to have banisters installed -before- you need them.

We have just three little stairs separating the main areas of our home. Put in a railing to assist my ailing mother, but after COVID and Cancer it's become an absolute life-saving necessity. One that I wouldn't be able install now.

OK Go released the video for "This Too Shall Pass" the same week I was first diagnosed with cancer, 15 years ago. I was bottled up. I hadn't allowed anything to flow. When that refrain hit, "When the morning comes", I wept like a baby. It was exactly what I needed.

I've taken to calling it "Not Twitter" and Trump's thing "Never Twitter".

Oh, and the posts on either are "Twats".
