Best cheesy movie of all time

 

I had a dream last night that Apple made an app called YAAAS. Unsure what it did exactly.

 

Clearly Ilana would design it so it would do everything and nothing, it's Uber it's Grindr it's Seamless

 

My boss just sent me a pic of her all ready for work and I'm still in bed. Guess I should get up. Meh.

 

Whelp. TWC let me order internet from them but apparently they can't install in my apartment complex.

The only option I seem to have is Centurylink and their service seems terrible. 45 bucks a month for 10Mbps internet?

I was looking at 75 bucks a month at TWC for 300 Mbps....

I'm so fucking frustrated, and it's not like I'm in the middle of nowhere, literally 2 miles from campus. So much for seeking any alternative in my lease. What a joke.

 

Just got this precious email.

Hello Dylan,

Unfortunately you will be unable to alter, upgrade, or change the services that we provide. The best option that I have for you is to use direct Ethernet connection via the port in your bed space or to purchase a personal hotspot or wifi router to place in your bed space.

Best Wishes,

The Thompson

Way to lie in the lease.

 

Claim a breach of contract.

 

I think I will, I'm very angry right now.

 

The law is on your side with this one. They'd be foolish to try and take you to court if the contract is explicitly incorrect.

 

So nothing here abstains them from claiming a breach of contract?

NETWORK ACCESS: Internet access may be provided to the Apartment Community by a company selected by Manager in its discretion
(the “Provider”), and such Provider may charge a fee for such service and, from time to time, supply content, software or information
service to the Apartment Community through Provider’s integrated communications and/or internet access system (“System”). At our
discretion and from time to time, we may change the Provider and/or make changes to the System.
You are responsible for avoiding harmful activities such as hacking, the distribution of internet viruses, worms, Trojan horses, or other
destructive activities. The aforementioned activities may result in serious civil and criminal liability under federal and state law. We will
not, as on ordinary practice, monitor the communications of users of the System to ensure that users comply with this policy or
applicable law. We may monitor the System electronically to determine that the System is operating satisfactorily.
We do not assume responsibility for the security of communications transmitted over the System. You acknowledge that the network
provided through the System is a shared network. This means each user, including you, has certain responsibilities to ensure performance
of the network overall and their own security. To ensure adequate network facilities for all users of the System, you will not: (i) attempt
to degrade the performance of the System or use the System in any way that precludes or significantly hampers the ability of others to
use the System; or (ii) engage in any activity that requires or utilizes large portions of bandwidth allocated to the System, or would cause
less than generally acceptable usage speeds for others. The Manager may limit your bandwidth utilization from time to time, if we, in our
sole discretion, determine your utilization is excessive. Because the System is shared by many other users, we recommend your use of
“Personal Firewall Software”.
Use of the System is at your sole risk, and we shall not be liable in connection with the usage of the System by you or any third party. We
do not warrant that the System will provide uninterrupted service free of errors. The performance of the System will vary from time to
time based on network usage and other factors, and no minimum transmission of speed is guaranteed at any time. We will not be liable
for any interruption, surge, or failure of the System or for any damage directly or indirectly caused by such interruption, surge or failure.
Should you desire to use alternative internet or on-line services, you may do so at your expense.

 

Honestly doesn't sound like they are in the wrong. They are providing the bare minimum there, which is unfortunate. I'm not sure you have an argument.

I'm also not a lawyer.

 

This song is wonderful.

 

It's that last line coupled with that email that directly contradicts the lease I signed does it not?

 

I'm not sure. I want to say yes. There should have been something more upfront for sure.

 

Chino from the Deftones is on the latest 'I am Rapaport' podcast for anyone who's interested, it's a good listen!

 

MY LIFE. RIGHT HERE. hi. They know who they are!

 

I emailed them again asking about that part of the lease and they've clammed the fuck up.

 

Are you in a place where you can ask for the deposit back and peace out?

 

I think that last line gives you everything you need...

 

I think so, can stay at my parent's house for the fall semester and do what I did last semester commuting wise. And do a bit more research for next spring.

 

An adviser from my school just called and said she noticed I had great grades and offered me a scholarship! Idk if I can take it but I feel special!
