The bandwidth itself is relatively cheap. At an average 1kb payload per request, Apollo’s 7 billion monthly requests add up to about $500 on AWS (where, as far as I know, Reddit is hosted). The compute costs of retrieving and assembling the request data are much harder to estimate but they’re going to be the bigger…

Sorry, but remote work has nothing to do with real estate. If anything, the fault there lies with rental companies who buy up all the land and available house just to rent it out or demolish it and build apartments. You wanna see cost of living and housing come down? Regulate rental companies.

Aren’t the people buying all these houses in your neighborhood living in them? Making them people who actually live in the area? Or is your complaint that only people whose workplaces are within a given radius of your neighborhood should be allowed to live there?

Absolutely the fuck not. Hope this helps!

Just break your office leases, dumbass.

wait? you own a home? must be nice. 

aaaaand cut to them being shamed to donate to a charity anyway for trying to emotionally blackmail their employees into returning to the office when clearly nobody wants to do that. 

Some serious gaslighting at play here, “come back to the office or the orphans don’t get to eat.”

So the company is going to donate money to a charity if you come in.

No. If the job can be done from home, then there is no reason for anyone to go into the office.

“I mean it’s one charitable donation, Micheal. What could it cost, ten dollars?”

Yeah, that’s not why.  It’s because Blackstone bought up all the foreclosed houses to turn into rentals. 

lol how are those things even remotely related

Well, I live in a major metropolitan city and prices aren’t going down here either. So, stop blaming it on back to the office initiatives.

If there’s anything that is going to hurt real estate by people not coming back to the office, it’s retail real estate and some of these big office buildings that are just empty…

Going back to office is a dumb fucking idea to everyone except micro-managers and fragile-ego executives.

Boo fucking hoo. There’s no good reason to go back to office, and your real estate prices are especially not a good reason.

I would donate $10 a day to not come back to the office.

peta is a terrible organization that turns off most people to the idea of animal rights and shouldn’t be calling out individuals just buying a pet. bother farming  corporations and big box pet stores that still sell animals.

There’s no way it would have stayed buried for decades if there was anything to it.

Fuck “Dr.” Phil completely. I was a teen when he blew up via Oprah, and I lambasted him then as a worthless ghoul, and he still is.
