Yeah, but they’re also 150-200 more sq feet, with 12 feet ceilings and newly renovated…
Average rent includes shitty run down ones as well, which these days are most apartments.
The other community this was posted to was a “good news” community even.
This just doesn’t really feel dystopian
Since you’re a brand new account, you might not know how problematic their admin is.
If they see you pointing it out, or really mentioning anything negative about that instance, they’ll ban you.
For that reason a lot of communities have been leaving that instance, so starting a new one there is signing up for that.
You’re also almost guaranteed to get a bunch of trolls who will manipulate that admin into doing a lot of dumb shit in any community over there.
If youre ok with a lot of questionable overreach by admins, go for it. But you’ll have more autonomy as a mod literally anywhere else
It’s not for the bullshit reason he said, he’s probably realizing his meeting with Zelenaky was a trap to make him look like a child who takes orders from Putin.
If he’s not that self aware, he’s just mad that other countries are supporting Ukraine and wants them to stop.
But just because trump says ______ is the reason he did something, doesn’t mean its more than an excuse.
I had a roommate in college that had a fucking Ronald Reagan action figure/doll thing…
He was in his 30s when Bernie first ran, and it got him to do a full 180 and get onboard with progressive policy across the board.
I’m from a red state and it really isn’t uncommon for people to have made that switch in 2016.
They can be talked into supporting all types of progressive policy at all stages of life, but that’s not as easy as getting them to vote for a conservative Dem like Biden or Kamala. And it makes voter outreach on a personal level almost impossible. I hated Clinton, Biden, and Kamala. I still held my nose and voted for them, but they just have too many flaws that I can’t defend when talking about politics.
And “they’re not a Republican” isn’t a bonus to someone already ok with voting Republican.
We know what happens when a progressive runs because of 08 Obama, they flip red states all over and carry majorities in the House and Senate
Genuine question:
Why do you keep making accounts?
I’ve blocked you like 4 times now…
Okay, and? I fail to see the part where another country’s welfare is your problem, Israel
It’s a lie…
They do not have food because even under Biden aid was cut off for bullshit reasons.
Even after everyone found out that what Bibi said about UNRWA was bullshit propaganda, Biden and the majority of both parties just ignored it and never reinstated aid.
Like, you’re operating under the assumption that everyone isnt just fucking lying about shit because no one holds them accountable.
Hell, it’s almost a certainty at least one person will get mad I pointed Biden and Dems are fucking up too
But if both groups of voters refuse to hold their own accountable, the result is no politicians is ever held accountable again.
Fucking everyone would…
Even if some of them are wrong about who they think is a hypocrite, the majority of people think >50% of everyone else is a hypocrite
I hate people can even try to blame AI.
If I typo a couple extra zeroes because my laptop sucks, that doesn’t mean I didn’t fuck up. I fucked up because of a tool I was using, but I was still the human using that tool.
This is no different.
If a lawyer submits something to court that is fraudulent I don’t give a shit if he wrote it on a notepad or told the AI on his phone browser to do it.
He submitted it.
Start yanking law licenses and these lawyers will start re-evaluating if AI means they can fire all their human assistants and take on even more cases.
Stop acting like this shit is autonomous tools that strip responsibility from decisions, that’s literally how Elmo is about to literally dismantle our federal government.
And they’re 100% gonna blame the AI too.
I’m honestly surprised they haven’t claimed DOGE is run by AI yet
And people ask why Big Bang Theory had a laugh track…
If you put milk in your cereal,
I’m a real adult so I pour black coffee over a mug full of cereal…
Lucky charms specifically…
And technically the bulk bag of just the marshmallow balloons…
And a little pumpkin spice when it’s fall.
But other than those, straight black coffee.
$19 strawberry is insane…
The fact that it’s imported from Japan at that price is just dumbfounding.
Like, there’s no way it can be better than the same variety grown locally and eaten fresh.
They’re probably flying these fucking these over to still be “fresh”.
Just setting their money and our planet on literal fire for social media flexes.
Blame politicians for not stopping number spoofing.
It’s insane that someone can pay to use existing numbers, and today it’s only really used by scammers.
If all these calls showed up as coming from a random foreign country, no one would ever answer them.
There’s a very easy solution to this.
In many cases the call ends after that. But why?
Because they auto call thousands of people, expecting very few people to even answer.
If they have 5 scammers crammed in a closet somewhere, and they’re all on a line, there’s nowhere for you to go, so the call disconnects if it can’t be transferred. Keeping you on hold costs money.
In some cases, I get someone with an accent I’d identify as Indian. But often the call is disconnected after just a few words.
Number spoofing and auto calls are cheap…
It’s a very low barrier of entry even in countries with low costs of living. It’s not like a scam center has to be on the ball and know what they’re doing.
Lots of them are just bad at it. But that’s still good enough to trick 80 years old enough to make it worth it.
Lots of places play loosely with the terminology, but in general:
Refurbished: they wipes the dust off
Recertified: had an issue, was sent back to manufacturer who fixed it and checked everything else.
Past advice was always buy new, but drives last much longer than they used to. And lots of business replace to be safe when a drive could last another decade just fine.
Although Gabby Petito’s parents gave permission for her voice to be recreated in the American Murder: Gabby Petito series currently streaming on Netflix, her mother tells The Independent that a fake version of her daughter’s voice was “weird.”
She agreed to it for $ and now regrets it.
I’d have sympathy if they didn’t give permission, but if your the type of person to cash on in your daughters murder after the media circus has died down, I got zero.
If he knows about it, I’m pretty sure it won’t be hard for him to find a cop willing to take a statement these days…
The cause of Sophie’s APD diagnosis is unknown, but her audiologist believes the overuse of noise-cancelling headphones, which Sophie wears for up to five hours a day, could have a part to play.
So fucking stupid…
Kid grew up on a quiet farm in the countryside, then she moved to London and probably 100+ student plus lectures.
It’s not that noise cancelling headphones prevented her from developing normally, she developed in an environment like what we evolved to handle.
Then she got thrown into a cacophony of sound that is one of the planets largest/busiest cities…
And they act like she is the problem and not noise pollution?
https://www.nature.com/articles/s41370-024-00642-5
Noise pollution is fucking a lot of us up, and people who grew up with it are used to it, but that doesn’t stop the negative consequences of it. Someone that never had to deal with it is obviously going to have what looks like a sudden onset of a condition, but the person is fine.
The environment is the problem.
“Look how fucked up my shoes [are]. This shoe cost me three bands. All because of Trump. Now I like him lesser!” she said. “Now I like him lesser because you didn’t have to go to no Super Bowl. Fucking up my shoe. Now I don’t really like him.”
Everybody has a line…
Your article says they had trees growing inside the building…
And that they worked with a parks department to maintain the original look.
So ironically, them trying to maintain the history is why you think they’re overcharging.
