Somewhat tangential: one very very important thing I learned about buying a house was never go house hunting in the summer. The best time to inspect a place is on a rainy day in late winter. Makes such a huge difference in noticing small but hugely important (and costly) details. How rainwater flows around and through and under the property, how full ditches get, where does runoff from the roof go, are there single points of failure where a clogged outdoor drain would divert water into the house etc... Also just whether the place is hell of depressing in winter or not.
No i get that you carved out a DK exception to your continued shitting on landlords, just it's separately true that this statement was factually wrong:
In several decades, DK's husband will more than make up for any loss they ever had unless they sell when the market collapses again.
I do agree with shitting on landlords, whether i would quibble with individual details or not. Landlord forums are a living argument for torches and pitchforks. I was pleased in March at all the sob stories from airbnb parasites.
Landlord forums universally look are full of people acting so shitty that you’d guarantee it’s some sort of anti-landlord psyop but no, just earnest sociopaths
Doing work with immigrants, the types of lies you see some of these people telling are appalling. There was like a whole thing for explaining to people what landlords can and cannot demand of you because it can be such a common problem. More frequent was less egregious shit like asking for deposits that weren't legal but some of the lies were breathtaking.

My entire neighbourhood is like wall to wall bad drainage. It's incredible to see a builder fail so consistently. It's not even random at that point.
Also, bad roofs. Everyone replacing them like a decade before they should need it.
Riot Games, the developer of League of Legends and Valorant, will be giving employees the week of August 10th off to “disconnect, recharge, and reboot,” the studio announced in a blog post published Tuesday.
The employees can have a week off, but only as a treat and not something they should just expect to be able to have

Imagine the layers of failure required for the following absolutely true thing to happen:
There are billboard advertisements, for lawyers, noting that landlords cannot demand sex in lieu of payment for apartments.
The problem with anti-pandemic measures, individually and socially, is that if they're successful, they will look like they were unnecessary.
So those measures may blunt the infections and deaths, and people like you who dutifully take precautions may unwittingly prevent or deflect major superspread events, and then the people who half-assed it or didn't care will say "See, you were taking it so seriously but it was fine. Loosen up."

If this wasn't a software company in games I would read that as an extra paid week off in addition to usual PTO. But its games so.....

Ooh, you mean like IT and preventative maintenance/regular upgrades! Yeah. It's a wonderful cycle - if you do your job right people will think you are useless and fire you!

i've been watching youtube videos a lot to learn about how to use my camera and stuff and this one guy i've been watching gives a lot of really good advice but the pictures he uses as examples from what he's taken are all really boring and not good
it's kind of amusing
Craftsmanship and artistry are different! Yeah that kind of thing is fun

I still predict we will forever be cursed with vaccination looking like a sine curve. We will tamp down on disease so well that the next generation will get stupid and think they don't need to do it, at which point shit will get bad to the point where everyone remembers why we did vaccinations in the first place and the process will repeat itself.

I still wonder if some of those systems ever got fixed. Some places just kicked the can down the road because their records only went back to like the 1940s or something. So they just said "anything below XX means 20XX, problem solved!"

So is the week off paid? They don't seem to mention that.

Kicking the can 40 years down the road ain't a bad compromise. Especially since unix time hits its own problem well before then.

Actually I can do the first two. I wanna be able to do multiple ones.

Ok but to be clear you would vote for giant Mickey Mouse beetles ruling the world if you could
So is the week off paid? They don't seem to mention that.

That depends on your goals. It’s the cause of, and solution to, all of life’s problems.
whew
In all cases, it's whether you're the subject or the object. Nailing is good, getting nailed, bad. Screwing good, getting screwed bad.
This all comes down to sexism surrounding intercourse, as I will detail in seven hundred following tweets.

Yes.
