I think I can answer most of your questions by saying he comes over to discuss the lease in a Mercedes Maybach. An SUV that starts at $178,000.

I don’t think age or other things really matter at that point.

He owns multiple properties and houses.

But, still, my entire point is that this relationship in itself is what needs to die. It’s not this individual dudes fault. It’s a system that allows people like this to exist that produce nothing.

I literally asked. He said he’s not selling.

Landlord said to me “property tax has gone up. This is my only form of income. Will need to increase rent”

Told him “yeah, everything has gone up and my paycheck is still the same”.

Like, these types of relationships are so parasitic. This is the “nice” mom and pop style landlord too that every liberal seems to want to give a pass too.

Sure, are they less bad than the big corporate faceless landlords? Yes. But the entire relationship is the problem.

They get to justify forcing me out of my home because the value of the house that they own WENT UP.

That’s why their property tax is more. They literally own something that is more valuable and making it further impossible for me to ever buy a place of my own.

12 years take on the unjustifiable hierarchy of grown ups?

Is this some really weird class analysis that involves generational heirarchy?

Like, is this the anarchist meme of “bed time is a parental construct from an unjustifiable hierarchy?”

Seriously, though. I must be misunderstanding what you are trying to say.

If you completely lack class analysis. Sure.

Jews and minority groups are specifically used as scapegoats for the inequality and exploitation that capitalism causes. It’s why fascism is a defense of capitalism when it is in it’s in decline.

Pointing to the actual systemic causes is not a Nazi meme. And there has been no revolution in history in which the ruling class gave up power without first enacting violence on the lower class of society in order to maintain its power.

Threatening violence in response to the violence enacted by the ruling class is not a “Nazi meme”.

In a just world the ruling class today in America should be hung for their crimes of genocide.

Ha no worries. But that basically sounds like Washington state. But I guess maybe we have a lot more “outdoor” people here and maybe that makes people more likely to not view firearms so negatively.

What state are you in? Washington SRA is my only experience.

Our SRA membership has surged since the election. Definitely more socialist understanding why they would want to be armed.

When “no fault” divorce was made legal it was literally a win for men and they didn’t even know it.

When a women wanted a divorce in the old days she’d just drop some visine in your morning coffee. Just a little bit every day until the problem was dealt with.

1GB. Massive. Why would anyone need a WHOLE gigabyte of RAM? What am I gonna do with that? Store my entire MS paint bmp collection in volatile memory?

Maybe a missed free() they’re too embarrassed to document.

Lua starts at 1 too. It’s infuriating. I believe for the same historical reason Matlab does.

Both meant for non CS people.

Saying “I don’t believe X conspiracy theory” is understandable. But saying you don’t believe in any “conspiracy theory”. Like, you think that the government just always tells the truth and doesn’t cover up anything?

Yeah I agree. Pretty sure the whole trust part goes out the window when you aren’t releasing the actual raw footage to the press.

Unironically, if all they did was just cut out parts they didn’t want, using open source ffmpeg to rencode and strip metadata would have been the best way to do it.

Using Adobe is just fucking sloppy. Not to mention, I’m pretty sure Adobe own any content that got uploaded to their servers during the edit. They likely have at least frames of it sitting on their servers if not the whole video.

Literally just had the same thing happen to me. This time at Microsoft. Worked for a small startup. It got bought out in 2023 after investments in actual hardware that wasn’t named Nvidia died.

Layoffs on most of our engineers. Somehow I survived and basically did no work for 2 years. Was finally laid off.

I hated it. But I basically stole a salary from Microsoft for two years. Fuck these big tech companies.

Fucking Christ. Glad I left windows behind.
