In my experience most people don't even know what a zip or rar is or how to extract them.

YouTube is much harder to replace because the hosting costs of videos are so much higher than something like reddit.

Its just insane there's no laws to help with these situations. They're becoming extremely commonplace.

Imagine watching the absolute shitstorm Twitter has been going through and thinking yeah I want that for my website. Sounds like there's no hope for reddit unless someone else can take control from spez. What is it about these obviously inept morons like Elon or Trump that get these followers that think they are the smartest person on earth?

How is it these huge companies fail to realize that they had a killer year due to covid putting more people online? You aren't going to match it no matter what.

Not sure where you live but in America stop signs are everywhere. You can't go anywhere without hitting multiple.

Its all just a scam I'm afraid. There's no real benefit to any of these ideas.

This is a constant cycle.

Tech nerds invent new technology/platform>nerds flock to new thing>the masses hear about it and start flooding it>money notices a large user base that isn't being complete wrung out for money>money destroys the new thing by making it unusable for profit>repeat

Hide your shame? Not sure who this appeals to.

As far as I can tell in my jurisdiction there is no recourse for reporting them aside from suing for not upkeeping the pool because it isn't something necessary like water, heating/cooling, etc. Suing defeats the purpose because I don't want to move and win or lose I definitely wouldn't be able to stay there after the case.

A tenant union could be useful long term maybe but it puts a target on your back just like suing does.

Copyright definitely needs to be stripped back severely. Artists need time to use their own work, but after a certain time everything needs to enter the public space for the sake of creativity.

Pretty sure you're in a very small minority. I've practically never gone to news sites. I've just found articles through reddit.

It didn't used to be that bad. I moved in at $700/month back in 2015 or so and now its going to be up to about $1500. It used to raise $50 each renewal which was reasonable but then covid absolutely skyrocketed the prices of everything.

Moving may be the only option long term, but I'm not ready yet so I was wondering if people had techniques for dealing with these companies so that you aren't just instantly dismissed.

We shouldn't have a system that you have to submit your ID at all.

I'd be happier staying here as long as the community stays. Reddit has been going downhill for years and they keep making the experience worse for old/power users. Plus their shitty redesign will almost certainly be forced upon all users soon and I can't stand not using old.reddit.

Unfortunately 90% of jobs require contributing to and reinforcing the worst aspects of society.

You cannot reason someone out of a position that they did not reason themselves into. Most of the time they even think they are being logical and reasoned their way into their beliefs, but because they refuse to rectify their cognitive dissonance, they are stuck with contradictory beliefs which they haven't accepted are incompatible.

I was the same way until my latest playthrough. I haven't finished it yet, but it's been interesting so far.

No thanks. We don't need another go at company stores.

You load 16 tons, what do you get? Another day older and deeper in debt St. Peter, don't you call me 'cause I can't go I owe my soul to the company store

Its only a visual change so the npcs still think you are wearing a suit.
