Always keep a couple crackheads. Also, make sure you filter your crackheads. You want the ones who’ll help you clean your garage for $10, not the ones who will clean out your garage for about $10 down at the pawn shop.
Promote a positive environment, help turn the crackden into a crackhome.
It’s about me saying I literally did not notice as I do not see gender in words like you do.
I admit that when using English I notice it more when it’s a feminine pronoun than when it’s a masculine one.
The point I’m making is that I did not misgender anyone. If anything, I disgendered English.
So no. I’m not going to admit to misgendering someone, when I most certainly don’t do that on purpose. What I might do is not read the username of a person I’m replying to. As I prefer responding to the message, not the person.
It’s not my fault English isn’t gender neutral when I am. I naturally speak and think in a way that does not account for gender. Would you like for me to start replacing that with archaic gender stereotypes?
No you didn’t, masculine is still a gender. I’m totally willing to believe that this was an innocent mistake to begin with but by tripling down on it like this you’re just being a dick.

You understand that English does have gender neutral pronouns, right? “His” just isn’t one of them. At any rate, given that Rose has her pronouns in her display name there’s no need to use neutral language anyway.
Name a gender-neutral singular third person pronoun from English that isn’t “it” (calling people “it” in English is very offensive, but in Finnish it’s just natural colloquialism, but I know enough to avoid that in English)
eta: to degender your comment you could say “this person knows their junkies”
but being as you’ve been beaten over the head with the fact that the OP uses she/her pronouns that would also be misgendering her.
leaving it as using a masculine pronoun is rude at best and blatantly transphobic at worst. nobody thinks you were being actively harmful when you said it but not being willing to change it is toxic.
You joke, but the crackhead hooker next door to me in Chicago would clean my place, top to bottom, for a 20 spot. Wouldn’t dare steal anything because I was good money for a regular rock.
You let someone clean your whole place for that shitty pay? What are you? A crack junkie too?
Have some dignity and pay a human in a shitty situation a decent compensation. Jeez.
Our cleaning-lady makes that in an hour after taxes and I even feel like I cheat her.
I stand with you, I’m glad you have the money to pay her well. Would you suggest that fella should clean his apartment himself and then the woman next door is also not making those 20 bucks?
No. But maybe not abuse someone in such dire need for a Lil cash and pay fair. Junkie or not.
Anyhow. My comment was invalid anyway and I took it back.
That’s the thing about addicts. They’re still people. Some get into a bad situation and know better than to fuck up the few good opportunities they’ll get. Many will fuck themselves over for easy and quick gains. The latter group is why my wife would kill me if I hired an addict prostitute to clean our home.
I’ve known a few like that. Why I joke about it. I knew a guy, if he could have kept his shit together, he coulda had his own damn shop. Dude could fix about anything mechanical, get it done quicker than some of the shops around the place.
Saw plenty of 'em working in construction, too. Keep it together long enough to make some decent cash, disappear for awhile, come back when they needed more. You got used to rotating faces, got to know which ones would try to screw you over. Too many times you’d see one come up alone and find out the buddies they had didn’t make it through the last.

You have never lived in a Crack friendly neighborhood.
This guy knows his junkies.
There’s a slight but very crucial difference.
Maybe read that username again.
I natively speak a language which doesn’t differentiate gender in any way, and “guy” is pretty gender-neutral to begin with.
So maybe consider that comment again.
“His”

I don’t care about your comment, I was just pointing out what they had a problem with
I like boobs too
And they told you what they have a problem with, what’s the issue?
Nothing, but he would be better off telling the person who had a problem with it
Dude would it really be that hard for you to edit your comment instead of whatever this is?
Oh it’s not about this being hard.

Calm down guy, it doesnt even seem like the person you’re talking about took offense with it. Why claim their outage for your own?
yawn

$20 was worth more 20 years ago, and I had a 1-room apartment. She was making ~$10/hr. Fair pay for cleaning work in 2003, with my supplies.
tl:dr; Get off your fucking high horse.
In that case disregard my comment. “Top to bottom” made it sound like you made her clean a whole fucking house.
BTW, not abusing power over people isn’t high-horse in my book. Just basic human decency.

rent has gone up 40% because the crackheads are now moving in
