If the power is out I can cook my perishables for fun, it does the fire thing when you sauté which is somewhat cathartic. I’ve only rented one place with a gas stove and it was mind blowing how good it was compared to those god awful glass

No, for those people who would “ride for me” and vice versa I have loyalty and don’t mind helping them with money, but I’d expect to stay involved in their lives. If they scuttle off, then they weren’t real at all, and I got played. I guess

Would telling them to go fuck themselves not be cheaper and easier? Edit: I don’t have fuck you money, so I am actually ignorant of the dynamic you’re describing. I’d rather be known as an asshole with backbone than a rich sap though. One o
