I kind of feel like laying in the bath and taking more diazapam and brandy. A nice way to sleep

Sleeping in the bath while in drugs is dangerous and i dont recommend it.

Try the brandy and a cigar. Talk about refreshing.


I dont know what sertaline is but i imagine you're not supposed to mix with alcohol.

I don’t know what to do now…

If you subtract the immense...let's say "illogicalness" of wanting to live in a place that could start collapsing at anytime. What they are doing is rational.

Leaving your home is extremely inconvenient, not cheap, and they may have to live in a place that is a lot more expensive than what they currently have, and who knows if they can afford that.

But still...safety of you and your family above all else. You don't want to live in a place where the roof could fall on your head any minute.

Like if it was me, I wouldn't be able to sleep in a place where I knew that it wasn't safe.

And I just learned that they spoke briefly to another practicing lawyer... who told them not to move out, because the FD requires a court order to remove them.

However, as I understand it, all it takes is the FD to call a judge to sign the order... there's no hearing or anything. And given the state of the building, they wouldn't have a hard time getting the court order.

I wonder if that is part of some kind of legal strategy to try and argue that the eviction notice is invalid.

Maybe they can sue the owner to put an injunction on him to do the repairs? Supposing that the FD doesn't say the building has to be demolished.

I have worked in customer service oriented jobs for a long time. I'm guessing you have worked with people a lot as well, so maybe this isn't news to you.

Some people are reasonable, and if you explain things to them logically, in a way they can understand, they will accept your explanation, however grudgingly.

Some people just want to vent. If you let them be angry and explain what is upsetting them, and let them air their grievance, that seems to help. Say that you get it, and be specific, if you can. Say how your cousin got evicted for a similar situation and how hard it was for him or her. Or whatever anecdote you may have that would apply.

All that said, some people just want what they want. They don't care about your reasons, perhaps they've already decided that they know better than you or that you either don't care or are out to cheat them.

In the last situation, like in the first two, you need to be the adult in the room and keep a cool head. To something like "I would rather go to jail." I would try some empathy and be more "real" than professional and say "Sir, I don't think you really want that. I understand that you want to say in your home but unfortunately that just isn't possible anymore." Perhaps offer to do some research to see if there are any similarly priced, comparable amenity apartments in the area on the spot with him.

If he is starting to get violent then you have to get the police involved. That is unacceptable behavior.

Troubling times for us here at Help-QA

I appreciate this message and I know you are concern is honest and meant with the best possible intentions.

I have a couple of things to get off my chest.

I am sorry some people have felt bullied. I hope that I am not one of the perpetrators. If I am, I believe this is an unfair assessment. This isn't a question, I am just saying, and don't want a response one way or the other on this.

I do regret some of my interactions here of late. Not because I think I was being intentionally cruel to anyone, or excessively abrasive. But because instead of engaging with certain posts, the better route would have been to report them to a moderator. Not because I disagreed with them, but because I think they contained misinformation that could cause people to inadvertently hurt themselves or others. I will do that in the future, in order to have whatever differences I have with the poster (well, really the post-contents) mediated that way.

I don't mean that it should be a one-way thing, and I don't expect something to be taken down just because I reported it. I'm just saying that it isn't up to me, alone, to challenge content if I literally think it is dangerous. A moderator should be involved to verify if my concern is justified.


Does that sound fair, padre?

------------------------------------------------------------

If I understand correctly, you are not saying that people should not disagree, only that they need to really be careful about what they say and how they disagree.

I can appreciate this. No one is perfect when it comes to this. And I will try harder than I normally do to be as clear as I can and make sure people are aware that, when I disagree with them...it's not personal for me. At all.

But in all fairness, I think some people on here seem inordinately shocked and even offended when they get pushback on opinions that are EXTREMELY controversial. I find this difficult to understand.

Another factor here is that alot has been happening of late, everywhere. We're all, every single one of us on here, under a lot more stress than we're usually under. I think this has contributed to a lot with tensions rising. Things are literally life or death out there right now. COVID. The Protests. Impeachment. The upcoming election. Things are very tense and coming to a head. All I mean is...it's no surprise that we're all feeling a little on edge.

First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.
