Not a dude.
Dryers with vents are very much still the norm around here, and I am not even in the middle of nowhere (unless you consider Seattle the middle of nowhere). Hell, gas dryers are not uncommon.
Ventless dryers are great, but they also cost twice as much as vented dryers. Most folks I know who live in apartments don’t have that much extra cash. Meanwhile vented dryers can be found on craigslist for free very frequently
For me, rents are already pure profit for most apartment buildings, so they should just include it. I do agree there would need to be some incentive to keep them in order, but CCTV seems a little invasive. Not sure what the answer is, but I don’t think landlords would do it any how
Edit: By “For me” I meant in my opinion, not that I run apartments. Tired brain…
Who is spamming GN videos? Nobody on beehaw, and I am pretty sure the 2 people that post them are not Steve Burke. I get you don’t like YouTube, but using a shitty AI summary is also not it. That summary only included the info from the intro and removed a whole ton of context that shows that GN does know what they are talking about and took the 10 minutes to cover a very complex situation. You might want to check out the article version posted by exu and not trust the site you used for summaries.
You linked “Mental Disorder”, which can be a whole bunch of things including mental illnesses, but I’m talking about “Personality Disorder” specifically, which can almost never be cured.
Personality disorders are a class of mental disorder, which is what I said in the beginning before needing to explain mental disorder and mental illness are the same thing.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personality_disorder
NPD and ASPD are class B disorders (2 of 4), but there are Class A and Class C as well. All are treatable to some degree or another. Again, I understand people can be hurt, but please please please stop with the generalization. It puts a lot of stigma on people, makes them feel like there is no chance of treatment, and overall makes things worse.
Semantics are important here to differenciate between different ways of dealing with it properly.
Then you should probably get your semantics correct. Did you look at the definition of mental disorder that was linked? Because the first sentence says “A mental disorder, also referred to as a mental illness,[6] a mental health condition,[7] or a psychiatric disability,[2] is a behavioral or mental pattern that causes significant distress or impairment of personal functioning.” If you follow the source listed under that [6], the source from the National Library of Medicine says “Mental disorders (or mental illnesses) are conditions that affect your thinking, feeling, mood, and behavior” in the first sentence.
People should know that narcissists/psycopaths/sociopaths cannot change to the better, because the inherent nature is not accepting any flaw. Only by knowing this other people can protect themselves by not keeping contact to them. It’s the only way to protect yourself.
Again, this is simply not true and the stigma that it presents is what actually hurts people. From wikipedia: “Management of narcissistic personality disorder has not been well studied, however many treatments tailored to NPD exist.[8][1]” If you follow those sources, one leads to a book dedicated to treating NPD. The second leads to a Journal that has a treatment outline.
And: “Psychotherapy, also known as “talk” therapy, has been found to help treat patients with ASPD.[178] Schema therapy is also being investigated as a treatment for ASPD.[179] A review by Charles M. Borduin features the strong influence of multisystemic therapy (MST) that could potentially improve this issue. However, this treatment requires complete cooperation and participation of all family members.[180]” Following the sources on those pages lead to studies outlining treatment of that disorder.
I understand people with these disorders can and do hurt the people around them, but saying there is no treatment only gets more people hurt. Do not encourage people to not get help, that is fucked up in so many ways.
Where in those sources does it say that it’s an illness? It says it’s a disorder.
That is trying to play with semantics. A disorder is an illness
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mental_disorder
Also, it states the prognoses is “poor”.
That doesn’t mean people should not get treatment or that treatment is not available. Saying there is no treatment encourages folks with NPD or ASPD to not seek treatment, which is actually what puts people in danger (themselves and others). Also, part of the reason the prognosis is poor is because we don’t have enough data, so instead of discouraging treatment, we should encourage it so we can actually learn more.
That is simply untrue. Personality disorders are a class of mental illness, and people definitely suffer from them. Both NPD and ASPD are in the DSM and have treatment available. I’m not saying they don’t hurt folks, but saying it can’t be treated is also not the way to go.

Yes, and those issue are resolved. Ohio passed legislation to push the date out and Alabama accepted a resolutution saying they would certify Biden. If the red states can refuse anyone, then they would just refuse Biden to begin with. There are legislative deadlines for these things, and all but one is after the DNC, so they would have to sue on very shakey ground. An article from a month does not prove that, it just means the source is behind or did not update the article.
A. No need for name calling
B. It says there might be lawsuits and contests, not that the GOP has to allow it to happen. From the article:
It is possible for parties and election authorities to change or work around these deadlines. For instance, in 2020, the Republican National Convention took place after the deadlines in Alabama and Ohio. In Ohio, the state legislature passed a law to change the deadline that cycle so it took place after the Republican National Convention, and in Alabama, the state’s election authority accepted a placeholder letter from the RNC that said the party would certify a nominee once the official nomination took place.
It is also possible that changing the Democratic nominee could draw lawsuits related to ballot access. On June 21, 2024, the Heritage Foundation said it would file lawsuits in Georgia, Nevada, and Wisconsin if Democrats nominated someone other than Biden.
Ballotpedia has a very detailed explanation of how it would work.
Which they did. There is an update at the end of the article. Just a thoughtless move by that author
