You need to come down from the flagpole

Well click-through is getting worse and worse the more search engines just give answers themselves without losing you to the actual websites. This must also or even especially affect reddits ability to capitalize the user generated content through ads. Not sure if trying to enter a field that is currently killing itself by showing ai summaries instead of search results is a good move though…

You are not great at logic and analogies, are you?

Well if there can be good tenants and bad tenants, surely there can be good landlords and bad landlords, or is that not possible, all of them are automatically evil?

All of them do earn money just by owning property. I’m not calling that evil or good or bad. It is what it is. And I’m sure many landlords are nice enough people. I am against it though.

So by that logic, VPNs and Bitcoin should both be illegal because they can be used by criminals (even though they have legitimate uses too) because the underlying mechanism is the same

I’m not even sure where to begin. Neither of those, VPN nor Bitcoin, allow you to earn money simply by owning property. Both of them can be used legally and illegally, but that has nothing to do with landlords which are always able to rent out their property completly legally but are still always being a parasite. I’m not saying renting should be banned because one kind of landlords are evil and the others aren’t. I’m saying the mechanism of profiting off of property while exploiting the need for housing puts all of them on a spectrum between siphoning off a little or siphoning off a lot of the workers income.

So bad tenants being excused from any culpability means that all landlords are automatically evil no matter what?

Noones talking about excusing bad tenants. Stop building strawmen.

So you’re saying that poor people should just… not live anywhere and instead should live on the street? I’m not sure I get your point, because if that is your point, it’s not a very good one.

Or should those people just live on the street?

If you’d bothered to read my comment you’d have seen this:

Also, and this might be a weird stance for americans, I don’t think anyone should be facing the choice of being able to pay rent and ending homeless on the street.

Landlords, yes even the nice old man renting out his spare room, are making money simply because they already own property. Of course there is a spectrum between those and large corporations. But the underlying mechanism is still the same.

Is not living on the street not really something of value? I feel that is something of value, isn’t it?

Just compare it to buying property where you continously pay off your credit. You get something in return, ownership of a property. Just because you are too poor to afford that, thus being forced ot pay rent, you receive significantly less for the money you spend on housing. Also, and this might be a weird stance for americans, I don’t think anyone should be facing the choice of being able to pay rent and ending homeless on the street.

I dunno, I don’t have any interest in becoming a landlord but I commonly see people considering them as the most evil people in the world no matter what and it does confuse me a little bit.

They commonly siphon off income from workers to keep their properties value up. This is just pararsitic behaviour.

People always say landlords are always evil, but there are tenants who are weeks or months late on their rent, they destroy the place, etc, it doesn’t seem like such a dream job to me.

So bad tenants are an excuse to be an evil parasite towards every tenant there is? Also, being a landlord isn’t just a job. It is making more money from existing property by exploiting the need of housing of those that are not able to afford a place themselves.

It would still be someone else paying you to keep your properties value up while receiving nothing of value for their money. You wouldn’t be on the same level as an intentionally evil landlord. Just be aware that you would still be siphoning money from a worker into your pocket.

I swear my uncle is a good landlord. Keeps prices low, I swear he doesn’t rip off his renters. He would never do that.

If there were as many good landlords as I have heard this story we wouldn’t have any problems Kyle, sit the fuck back down.

Sorry that’s spelled jardoughneigh you uncultured swine. Give back that monocle at once!

Imagine wanting to be alive. Hilarious

Comfort noise really surprised me when I learned about it regarding phones. We register it as silence but we also register the line as active whereas we immediately notice complete silence. Brains are cool stuff

Oh my god people. This is just a tongue in cheek joke about the ridiculousness of the two comments above me. The first one is either completely made up or pretty much unverifiable if true. The second one is an unreasonable request if the first comment was true because it would obviously endanger the source. It was meant as a test for whether the first comment was telling the truth but it’s completely failing at doing that.

I didn’t post anything besides a snarky comment below yours

Yes. There are a lot of protests against him. It’s just not enough.

I need names and addresses! For… Reasons unrelated to any lethal plans

Because lemmings that try doing it would be pulled in front of a judge if they went public about it afterwards. It would a) just be a single person that would b) face consequences for that action.

Israel on the other hand is a state level actor killing civilians in another jurisdiction. I know it’s just another war crime between many others at this point, but it bears noticing just how little the consequences have become

Sorry how would have a GPL`d aosp helped here? Google would and could still have not published their drivers for the pixel. You’d need pixel drivers licenced by someone different from google to make them publish their changes to the drivers

Both is the answer. One is for reducing bigger impurities the other for killing any bacteria

You seem to have skipped step 1: Get chamydia. Please start the instructions from the top

Have you not noticed that the Windows search has become a meme for being really useful in windows seven and useless in newer versions because it started

1. Searching the web and asking an ai for answers without you wanting that
2. In consequence syphoning out each and every search promt
3. Displaying fucking ads in the fucking search results

And that’s just one example that’s obvious enough to become a meme

BTW: any form of making a Microsoft product worse for profit of Microsoft is enshittification since they have both endusers and sellers of products that only work on windows/in the Microsoft ecosystem locked in with significant costs tied to leaving.
