So you work for a living and you get money. And you buy a property. Then you buy another. And you move out of the first property. Now you rent that first property. Now someone gives you money. For free. You aren’t doing anything to earn that. You aren’t working for it. You aren’t exchanging your labor for that money.…

I own now—thank christ—but my last landlord (who occupied the upstairs unit of a two-flat) was such an intensely churlish and condescending piece of shit that I frankly gave up all pretenses to civility and began calling him such, to his face and in no uncertain terms, once I knew I wasn’t going to renew my lease. He…

I just approach being a landlord the same why I do life - be respectful of everyone and treat them fairly until they give you a reason not to. To my tenants, the houses they are renting from me are their homes and I want them to feel like it’s THEIR home so they treat it well and want to stay for a long time. I…

The class warfare is strong on this site. Landlord/tenant articles really seem to hit a nerve with a lot of people here and I haven’t really decided if it’s because there really are that many “redistribution of wealth”/”power to the people” socialists in the commentariat or because there really are that many “stick it…

Just give me a solo mode already. I’m over the team setup...

This same guy who was whining due to lag also immediately donated a solid 2k to an old acquaintance of his after finding out she had stage 4 cancer (something she had only just found out herself). The attention he gave her ended up in the rest of her hospital bills being paid off in full with change to spare because…

I like the looting part. It scratches the same itches as Diablo and Call of Duty at the same time. Scavenging can be fun, if a little frustrating. It’s the only reason I play so much PUBG since I certainly wasn’t ever going to be good enough to win.

You are the biggest idiot on this thread. Your mind is so small that you have to turn everything to politics. Thanks for pointing out that your life sucks and I can laugh at you.

Trying to think where else in American society the question “Whoa, hey, haven’t you made enough money?” is taken seriously. Drawing a blank.

1) From a description on the story of the game: “The world’s unquenchable need for entertainment has turned towards bloodlust as entertainment behemoth TEC1 is set to premiere season two of its television sensation Scum.

Absolutely no love for this guy, but seriously, people, stop going after the man’s family. That’s just wrong.

Really? You seem to have listed all of the needed ingredients in your response to muster some empathy for the little guy who works hard at something he’s passionate about, who despite not having a huge platform is maybe trying to work his way up to the respectable & lucrative career he aspires to, only then to be…

This is disappointing. I was fully on board to hear his side of the story and have some sympathy, expecting it to be along the lines of: “I sincerely apologize to Boomstick gaming for copying their hard work. Due to professional and personal matters, stresses have been building in my life. Those matters, combined with…

somehow managed to fuck up the ABS’s wheel rotation sensor. Sometimes the bearing has a magnetic encoder on it and installing it wrong will fuck things up

I blame those screaming-shouting tuner reality shows for creating the impression that this sort of behavior is either acceptable or normal. You know the shows, they claim to be real but are scripted as hell and have two bearded or mustachioed macho assholes screaming and hollering at each other and threatening to…

Even if it was a joke, what is rule number 1 in car culture?

The incentive for Sony is 100% about reputation. If Sony is the only one not doing it then people will remember that and when next gen rolls around it could hurt them badly. Sony has a reputation of getting arrogant and shooting themselves in the foot when they are in the lead. I suspect we are seeing that happen…

the interview part went south for a variety of reasons which I will detail at a later date

There are helluva many times I’ve had to go to the bodega up the street with 5-6 dollars in mixed change. I will usually pre-sort the change by denomination, making it easier to count. And wait until there’s no one else in line before cashing out. I apologized the first couple of times. But she insisted that it wasn’t…
