    Peace of life advice, don’t let other people tell you how to think, form your own opinions based on the things you value and experience.

    Thor exist, and so do a lot of people that are a lot worse. He gets at more hate than he deserve when people like Jordan Peterson exist.

    Also, you don’t have to watch his videos. You can just ignore him and move on with your life. There are better things to do with your time than to hate someone.




  • I did property management for two years, and we took an application fee of $50.00. The theory was that the fee would prohibit people that new they couldn’t qualify from applying for the rental unit. If people asked about the fee I was supposed to tell them it was to cover the cost of the background check.

    In practice, no one knew if they did or didn’t qualify, so everyone applied. The background check was me google searching their name and looking at the provided pay stubs. We kept showing the unit and taking applications, with the fee, up until the new tenant took possession of the property.

    These are common practices, and some property manager/owner will take application fees as high as $100. I met one guy that boasted how he made more off of the app fees than a month of rent. There is a reason I don’t do that kind of work anymore, and I don’t think this law goes far enough. Application fees should be illegal because they create an opportunity for land lords to exploit vulnerable and desperate people in need of housing.
