A person who purchases property and rents it out to others for a living. Landlords earn a profit by charging people to live on land that they own.

Landlords are controversial, and encountered renewed controversy in the late 2010s and early 2020s. Their controversy predates these years and even the internet (despite what some claim), however, as exemplified by Mao Zedong's large-scale purging of them. Some argue that landlords provide an invaluable service to society by allowing individuals to live somewhere for a price cheaper than purchasing a property on their own. Renters typically do not have to do large-scale repairs, nor do they pay directly for the bills involved in the day-to-day managing of the property (although their rent goes toward it), however these things are at the discretion of the landlord.

Others argue that landlords do not provide a real service, and simply purchase properties that could be provided to others for a far smaller price or even none at all. Further, they argue, the fact that landlords own property that they usually do not live in only to charge others to live there means that their income relies on "exploiting" those who need shelter.

In this sense, one's opinion on landlords serves as a marker for their view on the function of society at large, principally their view on the economic system in which they currently live (which is usually capitalism).

A dead drop is a location used to secretly pass items between two people, without requiring them to meet.

Spies have been known to use dead drops, using various techniques to hide the items and to signal that the drop has been made. Drug dealers use this as well.

A common place is to duct tape the item to the underside of a toilet cover in a public restroom.

A signal is sometimes used as well to indicate there is something to pickup, like a pile of stones in a certain formation. After checking the drop the signal is removed.
"The dead drop is the restroom toilet at the Gulf station at the corner of Commercial Ave. and Georges Rd."

No Surprises Wedding

A "No Surprises Wedding," or NSW, is a wedding invitation designation that tells attendees that there can be no unplanned announcements, engagements, events or speeches at the wedding - all actions must be pre-approved by the couple. Anyone who performs an unapproved "surprise" will be asked to leave the wedding early.

This designation comes from Reddit, where so many stories of bad wedding behavior indicated a need to communicate expectations for the wedding behavior of attendees.
You are cordially invited to the nuptials of Brian and Tom on October 31 at noon.

Please note that this wedding is child-free (under 10) and a No Surprises Wedding (NSW). Reach out to wedding planner Sami Smith to request approvals or exceptions; please note that exceptions will be rare. Limited child care for under-10s will be available. All approvals will be noted and included in planning. Unapproved, or surprise exceptions, will result in guests being asked to leave.

Texas is categorized as a swing state in presidential elections, but has voted for Republicans more times than for Democrats in recent history. As such, as demographics change political alignments, some Democrats believe that Texas will vote blue, or Democratic, due to their Hispanic and African American voters, who often align themselves with the Democratic Party's liberal wing.

Blexas has been cited as possible in the upcoming decades, but only if Democrats continue to win the Hispanic vote in bigger margins.
Democrat 1: What is your prediction for the 2024 presidential election?
Democrat 2: Well uh, Blexas!
Democrat 1: You've been saying that since 2008 though.
