What state or province are you in? Where I am it’s called the Office of Residential Tenancies. Your specific rights as a renter will be laid out by your local organization, and may have something about right to quiet enjoyment or some such. But in apartment living you are probably only going to be able to push back against noise during quiet hours. In my city that is 10pm-7am but you’ll have to check your bylaws.

Briefly daydream about having time to kill, log my overtime, and get back to my giant never ending pile of tasks

I mean, bird meat is also meat

Actually I think it may have something to do with your demeanour. People tend to react negatively to rudeness esp about personal topics. I don’t necessarily agree but many people require communication to be structured a certain way and framed politely or they react poorly. If you genuinely want to communicate with them you probably need to develop some tact. Otherwise keep on trolling if that’s what you’re after

Do you think you’d actually say that to a stranger in real life, though? Maybe to a friend or someone else you were close with who understands your perspective and you’ve already developed common ground and rapport with. And that may be part of the issue with Internet communication. You are essentially talking to someone (or challenging them) about very personal things, with minimal understanding of them, and they have minimal understanding of you and your intentions as well.

Or it is just related to the phenomenon of people willing to be more confrontational behind the safety of their keyboard (in both directions).

With regard to why someone took offence to what you said, consider this: if a 14 year old boy said he liked women, would you also question his certainty in his sexuality even if he had 0 practical experience? Or is it only something you’d question for bi or otherwise queer people whose preferences aren’t conforming to the standard? I suspect the latter, because it’s pretty damn rare for anyone to ask straight people if they are sure they are straight… shouldn’t they have some homosexual experiences first to be sure?

Depends what the team is doing. If it’s a marathon running team for charity, or a team of people picking up garbage on a beach, it probably doesn’t matter much.

Drugs and alcohol and other non-necessities generally are not free. So I am not sure how you’d fund those things or the partying, depending what that means to you.

But if you choose to do that nothing would happen, society would support the costs of you having safe (although likely fairly frugal) housing, sufficient food, and medical care. There are already people who live that way but without the food, housing, or care; they may resort to crime to meet their needs (negative affect on society) or may just have such poor health that they require much more expensive care (already at the cost of taxpayer in capitalistic society) than they would have if they’d been able to access care before it became a dire emergency.

Research generally indicates that capitalist societies already pay more to address the consequences of poverty than it would cost to provide those people with their basic needs in the first place.
