Request ULPT Request How do I get my apartment complex to replace our AC unit?

15 Upvotes

I was walking around my apartment complex and realized basically everyone else has a much newer outdoor AC unit than we do. Ours legitimately looks like it’s from the 1990s.
Our electric bill is around $300/month during the summer because this thing basically runs nonstop. We set the thermostat to 70°F, but during the day the apartment usually sits around 76–77°F. Sometimes it gets up around 80°F and just cannot cool the apartment down.
The only time it can actually reach 70 is roughly 2–9 AM when it’s cooler outside. By the time we’re going to bed around 9–10 PM, it’s usually still 75–77°F, so we have the AC running nonstop plus fans everywhere.
Maintenance has been out multiple times. Occasionally it gets bad enough that it basically stops cooling, they come out and add refrigerant/Freon, and then it works better for a while before eventually going back to the same shit.
Meanwhile, I’m looking around the complex and seeing newer units everywhere except ours.
I am an electrician so I have some ideas just want to see if yall have a better one than what I’m thinking. I just want management to finally decide that continuing to service this dinosaur isn’t worth it and replace the damn thing.

Food and Drinks ULPT- Cafe blasting music, trash violations, and rat shit. Now what.

14 Upvotes

Hi all,

Karma incoming- several problems- the “bagel shop” (it’s is not, it’s a shitty subSysco level food shop) blasts music our group of apartments court yard and at all times durning the week and in the am on the weekends. When asked to turn it down- or just shut their back door- they refuse. Like, angrily refuse.
The food sits out, unrefrigerated, on the back station all day- can be seen from the back door which is left open. We’re talking tuna and chicken salads, pastas salads, cheeses, meats, etc. it attracts rats, pidgins, and all types of bugs. Not to mention the food poisoning component and health code violations. You’d be better off licking a public toilet seat than eating there.
They complain that we (the 23-25 tenants) are targeting them because they’re renting. This is not the case. They are running a disgusting, annoying, rat shit infested cafe and it’s fucking up everyone’s day.
I hate them with the fire of a thousand suns.

Any way, what are we doing about this? We’ve tried reviews, calling the city, calling the parent company, alerting the landlord, posting in the Facebook group of the neighborhood- there are about 10 of us working on solving the situation and now I want vengeance.

How do we use “corrective behavior” to find a solution

Relationships ULPT request: how 2 kick my r*pist while he's down and facing CP charges

0 Upvotes

So as the title says, the man who r*ped me has finally faced some karmatic justice because 4 years after it happened, the FBI raided his apartment and caught him and his partner with CP. Now, his partner is someone who I used to play RuneScape with a lot, oblivious to the kind of sick fuck he was, and he emotionally abused the hell out of me for years and I think he got a low enough bond that he could've made bail. How do I make sure he gets the justice he deserves?

Hey! I just broke it off with my partner of five years. He ended cheating on me and we were planning on getting engaged. Make fun of me if you want, but we have been dating since high school. Thought he was the one. We planned on hanging out to talk. Drove 40 minutes for him to ignore me after. Hes 20, smokes weed illegally supplied by his brother. Works in healthcare as a Med Tech. I called his work and told them he has def smoked before going in. I let air out of his tire so he would be late. What else can I do to his car? Or to him to make his life trouble.

Social ULPT request: Online harassment from ex coworker TLDR

13 Upvotes

Hey guys, I’ll try to keep this as short as possible;

I (21F)recently left my job of three years, in which I met above mentioned ex coworker. She is an older woman, (65F) and since we met she was not even remotely nice to me, always complaining about me, trying to get me in trouble, I was also the employee with highest pay, best position simply due to experience, attitude, and seniority.

She left in 2024, and for a few months kept contacting the owners, other coworkers, and myself with upset rants verging on the edge of threats but never anything “too serious” to be able to take legal action against her.

Today, after two years of silence, and me not even working at that place anymore, she sent me a rant, calling me a liar, bitch, saying she was going to contact my dad, and that I should be medicated, amongst many other out of pocket insults.

I did mess up by responding but I was really mad at her comments, but I asked her about three times to stop contacting me, and I ended the conversation, took screenshots with time stamps, and blocked her. Now knowing what she’s done in the past, and seeing that I am now her person of interest, what can I do? Specifically to allegedly find just personal information about her in case that this escalates and I wish to report her.

Request ULPT Request: maximizing unemployment

0 Upvotes

State: NJ

So, I retired a few months ago, at 33, not by choice. My team got sacked a year ago, but I was the only one spared. I got placed on another team, and within 7 months, that team got sacked, this time, nobody was spared. I got a nice severance and claimed unemployment. During this time, i realized, I'm pretty set to just retire, I have a sizable amount of investments and I have quite a simple and low cost lifestyle. But, some extra income would help offset market volatility risks early on into retirement.

I thought about just practicing leetcode and just working another year or two just to clean up my mortgage a bit, but figured I'd ask. Also cause AI and not having to interview for over 6 years made me a bit rusty. What is stopping me from taking some shitty retail job, doing nothing, getting fired, and collecting some unemployment again?

Any ways to minmax this?

My sister is in need of money and she asked one of her co-worker if he can lend her money. He said yes but with 1 condition. He requested a video of my sister stripping and said he'll give her 60 bucks, and if she needs more, he's asking for her to sleep with him. I am fuming!!!!! I thought these kind of bastards only exist in movies!!!!!

All i have now is his phone number and his instagram username. How can I get back at him without putting my sister's safety at risk?

P.s. He has a gf! I wanted to send the screenshot of the convo to his gf but that would be very obvious that my sister is the one leaking it.

Any tip is appreciated. Thank you!

Need help getting a guy to do either. Long story short hes a snake that has been snitching to higher ups over the smallest of things. This means jumping over peoples direct supervisors to speak to the manager in our department. I cant lie we have it pretty cake in our team and intend on keeping it that way. Trouble is being a snitch isnt a fireable issue. Hes also just straight up a very weird and grating individual to be around.

Request ULPT Request Girlfriend's number

0 Upvotes

This has happened twice now, the first time was over 6 months ago, some number calls my girlfriend out of nowhere and starts describing her that they have seen her, like fully detailed, creeping her out, also starts talking shit to her, now when I called that number back from my number and confronted about how they got my girlfriend's number, they mentioned a friend from our friend group consisting total of 4 (including me and my girl) people, now when we cross-checked none of our friends leaked her number. But, apparently, there's this one guy, who used to like her, has her number, and he's not in the school with us anymore, neither he is or was in our group, so our suspicion is that he is making his friends call her and do these shit, now legally, how meticulously they describe her on the call gets her panic and anxiety attacks and tells her shitty stuff like she is not pretty which is something she regularly struggles with herself, is considered stalking and harassing. Since this is the 2nd time this has happened, we are considering changing her number but that doesn't solve the issue, I want to avenge her, she was doing great with herself lately, and just the night before her birthday, this shit happened and she's going through panic and anxiety, I'm trying my best here, but guy who is doing is, the guy who called and said shit, and the guy who is making him do these, I want to ruin them. I am suggesting, wholeheartedly, for suggestions, please. Also, please ask questions, I'm a bit inexperienced as a reddit poster. I tried digging with the number to see if I get any name anywhere, and yea I do get a name on cash app and that username happens to have an insta that's mutual with the guy that used to like my girlfriend.

Money and Finance ULPT Req: How do I come up with a lot of $$ to pay off a large debt fast?

9 Upvotes

Long story short but someone in my life lent me a substantial amount of money a year ago in a very desperate situation. And now they are demanding to get the debt off of their hands. It’s daily messages. I have been paying them $1000 monthly but at this rate it’ll be another year before it’s paid off I don’t know why they need it cleared ASAP. But my credit is shot i can’t just take out a loan and pay them back and I have literally no options right now.

I can’t just block them because I owe them money and want to pay it off. But the literal DAILY messages asking where I’m at with finding another option is faking a serious toll my mental health, when the whole reason they bailed me out was to help me. I wish they never did and I wish I just went through what they got me out of.

There was no contract signed or anything I actually tried debt consolidation but because it’s a personal loan they can’t do anything with it. What can I do??!!

I respect his privacy in his death, however the police are not investigating the circumstances as it’s believed to be an accident resulting in his death. As his sister, I need more info. Apple seems to safeguard this info understandably but any tips would be appreciated.

So far, it’s my understanding they may allow access into his iCloud only, with a court order. Even then what do I do to obtain this?

Thanks, from a grieving sister

Her phone cannot support the app therefore she’s stuck with them blasting. Her cognitive decline is getting more rampant.
I was gonna give her the phone.
Went to the store and they told me they couldn’t help because it was reported as stolen.
They almost called the cops but luckily I convinced the two ladies that I was not an actual thief.

Careers and Work ULPT Request: how do I get “work experience” when nobody will hire me?

36 Upvotes

I have a Master’s degree in IT, but the job market in my country is completely fucked right now, especially for new grads. Pretty much every “entry-level” job wants 1–3 years of experience, which makes no sense when you can’t get experience because nobody will hire you without it.

So how do I get some credible experience on my CV without just making up a fake employer that could easily be exposed in a background check? I’ve thought about registering a small company and technically employing myself, or even paying someone to act as my former boss/reference if they get called.

I’m not looking for the usual “keep applying” or “work on your GitHub” advice. My savings are pretty much gone at this point, I can’t find a job, and I’ve got a ton of student debt. I’m honestly running out of options.

I also live in a pretty small country, so putting down some random local company is risky. There’s always a chance the recruiter knows someone who works there or has some connection to the company. Basically, what can I do to make it look like I have actual work experience without doing something that could seriously backfire if they decide to check? What would you do?

Money and Finance ULPT Potential business partner asked me why I Ghosted him after meeting...

0 Upvotes

My response to him:

"If I may speak freely ...

I respect you and think you're a good man.

Equal to myself before a sudden awakening

You, (and most people in this world), treat morality like it’s some law of nature. Like gravity. Like if you violate it, the universe eventually reaches down and corrects the balance. It doesn’t. Morality is an agreement between people, and agreements only restrain the people who honor them.

That’s what you don’t understand about business. You walk into every room carrying rules that nobody actually forced you to carry. You won’t mislead someone. You won’t exploit desperation. You won’t take advantage of somebody who trusts you. You won’t cross a line just because crossing it would make you richer. And maybe that makes you a good man. But every one of those principles is also a door you have permanently locked while competing against people who never agreed to lock theirs.

I mean,

Think about how backwards that is. The more conscience you have, the fewer moves you allow yourself to make. Meanwhile the person willing to do anything short of whatever consequences they actually fear has an entire chessboard available to him. You’re playing the same game, except half your pieces are imaginary obstacles you placed in front of yourself.

And the world doesn’t necessarily punish him for it. Sometimes it rewards him. Once he has enough money, nobody asks which opportunities he refused to exploit. They see the house. The company. The employees. The influence. The respectable title under his name. Success has this remarkable ability to erase the fingerprints left on the staircase.

It that makes sense...

That’s the part people hate admitting. A lot of systems depend on people like you voluntarily behaving better than the system actually requires. Employers assume workers won’t understand every regulation. Customers assume businesses aren’t manipulating their perception. Competitors assume certain tactics are beneath everyone involved. Contracts assume people will behave reasonably even where the language leaves room not to. Society fills thousands of gaps with trust because writing a rule for every possible form of human behavior is impossible.

You look at those gaps and think,

‘Nobody should take advantage of that.’

Someone else looks at the exact same gap and thinks,

‘Nobody stopped me.’

Guess which one of you has more options?

I’m not telling you morality makes you weak. I’m telling you morality has a price, and you’ve been paying it your entire life without ever looking at the receipt. Every principle you refuse to violate costs you some universe of possible outcomes. Maybe paying that price is worth it. Maybe being able to look at yourself in the mirror matters more than winning.

But at least understand the transaction.

I have 2 moralities which limit me, which I am always willing to pay the price for, and which I will actively judge someone one for ....

1.) NEVER harm children.

2.) Never Lie or use tricks on people in my circle..

(Family, friends, theoretical business partner, etc)...

Hope that answers your question 🙏"
