Reply to Any Collapse-Aware people around here? by xlllxJackxlllx

Ecosystems change all the time. There are also no dinosaurs roaming around Pratt st. I’m not saying these changes are good, but maybe I’d suggest just talking to someone who doesn’t fit the category of “aware” to maybe challenge you on some of your ideas. We’ve become so silo’d as a world. We reject anyone who has a dissenting opinion as a lunatic or racist or a Marxist or insert the cause Du jour here-phobia. This topic could be interesting to a lot of people, not just ones that are going to blindly agree with you.

I don’t know if this is happening after covid but often times the local high schools will have free senior classes directed by one of the physical education instructors. I’m sure you could go to Towson U as well and ask if one of the kids in the kinesiology program would take you on as a client.

Reply to Breaking lease by Iroshima

Law in Baltimore heavily favors the lessee. I think if your friend explains the situation to the landlord and asks to break the lease they will likely allow your friend to do so but they may have to stay a month or two while the landlord finds another tenant. Security deposit will likely be forfeited.

Reply to I really want to discuss race and racism in Baltimore without getting kicked off of Reddit. Any suggestions? by Infinite_Magnetic7

My opinion is NEVER do it on the internet. Go to a local bar and strike up conversations. Be respectful and do your best to LISTEN to what the other person is saying. I’ve gained an incredible amount of knowledge of how people live and some of the struggles that they come across in their lives that I would have never even thought of. On the flip side, once you show that respect and prove that you are truly trying to learn, you can share your opinion without being immediately labeled as a racist which will 100% happen with an online discussion.

Reply to Mortgage Lender Recommendations by Sivla-Alegna

Richard Pazornik at Meridian mortgage is the best in town. He’s also got some really nice programs that don’t charge mortgage insurance if you’re not putting down 20%(its not LPMI either it’s just a portfolio product without MI) will save you 200-900 a month depending on the size of the mortgage

Reply to comment by MillyLife in Downtown Merritt Club Incident by MillyLife

You want the hard truth as to why everyone is yelling you to “just deal with it”? Because it’s an insignificant thing. You’re acting as if your life is going to be ruined because of this one incident. People have bad days, maybe “Mike” was having a bad day. Im sure your frustration with the situation didn’t help to calm the vibe either. People are becoming so, and I HATE this word, soft. This isn’t a life altering issue, you came here for pity from the community and you didn’t get it, and now you’re whining about not getting pity. Toughen up. Some days are harder than others. Short of someone physically assaulting you, or continuously berating or belittling you, things aren’t that big of a deal. Shake it off, move on, and I hope you have a better experience when you go next time.
