Good point. Although, anything non-utility related is subject to the woes private equity not serving the public interest.

i.e. if you rent in an apartment building, this isn’t an option in every city. Some local plumbers are NOT gonna touch the pipes on a corporate owned building. That kinda thing. All the way to where I have lived in a unit, had plumbing issues (thus the broken toilet analogy), and the case was such that the only plumber that would come to the building was the one that the building contracted out for the building.

In my case, this meant that my plumbing issues were known, unfixable, and fuck me. My recourse was withholding rent until the end of my lease, with only the obligation to pay what is owed if they prove the issue has been resolved.

Ultimately, this lead to them not renewing my lease.

I did get away with withholding and not paying 3 months rent. They still sent to collections, and I spent more than that fighting it.

I am now suing for damages.

Ultimately, I will win, but the stress is not worth the value of 3 months rent saved (+ “damages”)

In the 70s, 80s, and 90s, companies would call homes to ask what was in their fridge, cupboard, etc.

Remember when that dude missed shooting Trump in the face by inches…?

Fuck, man. Hope he’s doing ok.

If we invade Greenland, I vow to do what I can to not die an American citizen.

I’d be ashamed to be buried here at this point already.

That is what aggregators served to defeat. Like Digg, reddit, or Lemmy. That’s what votes and “top hot trending” filters are all for.

Not saying the resolve the issue, just saying this is well known and understood

Uhm, cool, but …

Rent isn’t due every 48 hours.

So, the landlord can effectively wait a month.

When you withhold rent, you do so until the terms are met, then you pay what’s owed. It isn’t a discount, it’s an incentive.

(e.g., the toilet is not functional. Okay. Rent is $2k, but I am renting a place with a bathroom, and I don’t have that. Get me my bathroom and I’ll get you your $2k.)

So… I don’t get it. You cannot enforce 48 hours unless the repair is requested less than 48 hours before rent is due.

It’s funny how much better Mississippi is and how bad Mississippi is.

I thought it was the protestors wearing masks! Honest!

In a stand your ground state?

Haha, ok. Good luck, Attorney General James Uthmeier.

If an armed protestor shoots a driver who is driving at them with intent to cause bodily harm, they… Both have the right to possibly kill one another?

Driver has the green light. Gunman has the green light.

Cool, cool. Makes sense.

Me at work

Email comes in. Looks actionable. Is that on me? Mark as Todo.

End of day: oh yeah, I’ll check tomorrow.

(Three weeks later)

I can probably archive this, no one’s mentioned it…

That’s gonna be a no from me dawg.

lol so if he makes a video on it, the remaining corners of the online world that don’t care about politics will have beef with the US.

Nice.

There’s no black and white to these terms.

Suffice it to say, when a working class person, say, gets a DUI, it will literally ruin their life.

When a middle class person gets a DUI, it will ruin their year.

When you’re upper middle class, that DUI fucking sucks. But you got it. Family is still going on vacation. Christmas isn’t cancelled.

When an upper class person gets a DUI, it will inconvenience their evening, and maybe, just maybe, their public image. (gasp)

Not having a credit card doesn’t make it any more difficult for someone to steal your identity, provided you keep your card secure/on you.

Like, the essence of having a line of credit does not prevent someone from opening a line of credit in your name. Freezing your credit does?

I dont have an answer to your question, but if that is really the only reason you don’t have a CC, just get a CC. Get a CC and freeze your lines of credit. Then your identity is more secure than it is right now, and you’ll have a credit card.

Man the difference between 23 and 33 and giving a shit is crazy.

I had my heart broken badly when I was 23 and honestly, it fucked up a good bit of my 20s. Even some of my 30s.

My advice first will be therapy. Breakups hurt losing friends hurts. Your gonna feel the pain of the collapse of the ability to dream about your shared future a lot. You need to start dreaming about a new different future.

This next piece of advice might sound impossible, but you need to go no contact with her for a good 6 months while you process this. That muscle in your brain trained to daydream about your future is gonna be a bitch, and hanging out and acting like friends is gonna make that take forever. Go no contact. You can be friends again later, but not now.

You got this.

We dont do that before we give them guns?

A fun piece of trivia is that he lost is license to practice as a counselor after having a relationship with one of his teenaged clients.

For starters.

This PC is basically top of the line.

Important question? Will be be running Windows or Linux?

Intel i9 14th gen and Nvidia graphics on Linux… Those CPUs have had issues and Nvidia graphics and Linux are a notorious frustration. Don’t get me wrong, I do it, it’s doable. It’s just a bit of troubleshooting here and there.

With Windows, this won’t be as much of a consideration.

But to answer your question, it’s top tier.

It depends on your perspective of what feigned happiness is.

There’s a fine line between faking a mood and trying your best to see something in a positive light.

In my neck of the woods, gas station owners have sharpies which of the 10 buttons is the mute button.

So as soon as the ad plays you just press mute.

It is God awful though.
