You’d be surprised. In the coms like boringdystopia, latestagecapitalism, and anarchy, the attitude is that there’s absolutely no upside to renting. Every tenant is getting screwed by every landlord.

Didn’t you know? Every landlord is a monster stealing from people who get absolutely no benefit from the arrangement. At least here on Lemmy, that is.

You can tell when people haven’t experienced home ownership before. It’s definitely a “grass is greener” thing, but owning a home is a major pain in the ass in many ways. I actually work with a few people who sold theirs and went back to renting because of it. I’d join them if we didn’t have more pets than the city allows.

The equity thing is always brought up, but any gains you make because of market fluctuations are only good for taking out loans, or making a profit when you go back to renting. The other houses on the market have increased in value along with it. Plus, any maintenance expenses are just keeping your house from losing value.

Rye is my goto backpacking whiskey, but otherwise I’m a bourbon man.

Or was, I guess, since I’ve retired from drinking.

Semen can also be a direct replacement for egg whites. There’s actually a cook book on it.

But you can buy your way out of jail for a relatively tiny amount, so it’s still accurate.

I would have banished myself to be the crazy cave hermit.

People with a lot of money tend to listen to other people who have a lot of money. At least more than us peons.

If gates wanted to, he could lobby bribe the government to create a regulatory body for AI.

The discussion was about Apple products not being essential goods. It was not about smart phones in general being essential goods.

No, I was just answering the question.

Are iPhones the only smart phone that exists?

No, it’s the reality. The organizer does not set reminders.

You’re absolutely correct. Price gouging is when you significantly raise the price of essential goods during an emergency.

Like selling water for $20 a bottle in the aftermath of an earthquake.

Apple products aren’t essential goods.

It’s in the settings, somewhere.

You can also set it to not delete the emails.

The organizer doesn’t set reminders in the first place, except for their own alerts.

Huh? You set your alert preferences, not the organizer.

Just view it by month?

I’ve been the recipient of such a document, and I was absolutely grateful. I’ve also been the recipient of absolutely no documentation. And I’ve written one and had it be appreciated when I laterally moved positions, which the 3 people who replaced me appreciated.

Depending on the enterprise environment and role, it can take up to 2 years to fully learn the system without such a document. Especially if it’s an esoteric field.

That’s about an entirely different company.

Since OP truncated the real title, I think it should count.
