Typically it's written in the lease or apartment policies if you can/can't smoke on your balcony/porch/apartment parking lot etc. People who smoke usually look for smoke friendly places because having to get dressed, go outside, off the property, and then across the street every time you want a cigarette is miserable especially at night or in bad weather.

If the guy has to go to these passive aggressive lengths instead of going straight to the apartment management with a complaint more likely than not the smoker is allowed to smoke on his balcony.

Causing a noise disturbance and potentially impacting several neighbors at once because he doesn't like one particular neighbor doing something he signed a legal document agreeing to when he moved there is kind of silly. It's like becoming a member at a cigar lounge and then complaining when the guy in the chair next to you lights one up.


Being protected by law doesn't mean you are not harmful to others. I was just responding to that one reddit comment, he might have the right to do so, nonetheless it's very self centered

Anecdotal but the last time I actively still played at local games half of the players for that ruleset had at least 30-40% of their armies 3D printed. Half of that had 100% of their armies 3D printed and weren't buying GW at all.

I think a big part of it comes down to scale- like that author mentioned, going through the effort of setting up a printer, printing, curing etc. for a handful of models is a pain in the ass. But if you're printing then curing half an army in one go (which the nature of resin printers easily allows you to do by stacking/arranging minis) it comes out as worth it over spending a few hundred USD on official plastic.


>KF is a horrible place, but saying that they bullied this person into suicide is an easy scapegoat and a long stretch >You only get a thread on KF by behaving like a lolcow.

The problem with communities like that is that they leave little to no room for redemption and recovery. Once a group of obsessive nutjobs sets their sights on someone mentally vulnerable pretty much the only way is down.

Any chance to improve your life is just going to be met with an increased levels of harassment to get back the entertainment they so desperately crave. I fully believe that a lot of the more famous "lolcows" that committed suicide or spiraled down to really ugly depths weren't actually lost causes until groups like kf got involved. Just people who were a little bit weird or different who if they got off the net and touched grass for better lack of a term and not been discovered by organized gang stalkers could've lived much different lives.

Nobody deserves that level of harassment even if they are a "lolcow"
