- I think I'm a year out from being in your shoes, so I'm following this closely -- nm - prayformojo Mar 30, 06:14 3

- Great news! - kelly Mar 30, 05:57 1
  - Not really sure as there wasn't an incident that she can think of that caused it. We pay our rent on time, don't ask for anything and don't make - Krusty Mar 30, 06:04
- That's awesome, glad it worked out. Our lease renews in Sept and I'm terrified what the landlord is going to do with our rent. - sycor Mar 30, 05:54 1
  - Ugh! I hope your landlord is happy with you as a tenant and isn't just looking for top dollar. -- nm - Krusty Mar 30, 05:58

Ricky Gervais has entered the chat. -- (link) - Beaker Mar 30, 04:44 2
- Yeah, he is part of the problem. His kind of humour is not for the Oscars. (NM) - Marlowe Mar 30, 05:16 1
  - He's an asshole. I liked his early comedy but there was a point where something switched and from that moment on I was done with him. -- nm - Krusty Mar 30, 05:38

I've been noticing that I'm seeing more short videos on YouTube and they're almost always camera phone types videos in portrait mode. Very confusing - Krusty Mar 30, 04:33 3
- It looks like there's no way to hide them. YouTube is afraid of TikTok??? *smh* -- nm - Krusty Mar 30, 04:39 2
  - Of course they are. That's how the internet works. -- (edited) - Cuzzin Todd Mar 30, 05:54 1
    - They basically have a monopoly on internet videos. IMO, it makes them look bad to do things like this where they're being reactive. -- nm - Krusty Mar 30, 06:06
