Ok but I asked if they just paid their share of the mortgage or whatever and you said you weren’t comfortable with that either, so I’m confused what we’re supposed to do.

Im genuinely trying to understand where this is going, because it doesn’t reflect our current economy or society at all. Sure free housing for all would be great but we do not live in a country that forbids private housing and that will never happen here given property rights are sacrosanct.

Jesus Christ ok it’s a condo, and my roommate leaves. Would I be obliged to just give somebody the room for free?

So if I have a 2 bedroom apartment and my roommate leaves, what happens to other room?

Okay…so if somebody no longer uses a house or room in an apartment, they should rent it out for free?

So you’d be comfortable if they charged the tenant the exact amount of money they had to pay for the mortgage?

Landlords are crybabies for expecting tenants to honor their contractually agreed upon promise to pay rent to live in an apartment/house?

Reply to Virginia judge decreases punitive damages owed by Unite the Right organizers from $24 million to $350,000 by WhoIsJolyonWest
This headline is so misleading it’s bordering on disinformation. Virginia law caps punitive damages at $350,000 - the judge had no choice and this law was on the books before this event took place.

You keep talking about the data when you know that’s not what I’m criticizing. Im questioning YOUR subjective interpretations of the data that you typed out. And I’ve already typed an entire paragraph explaining why I felt your analysis was leaving context out. At this point it feels like you’re being purposely facetious

Nice try. Nobody asked you to alter data, or has questioned the validity of the data, im asking you to explain your own personal interpretations of it that you slid in to it. Leave the data be. I’m talking about your subjective claims about it that seem to be slightly Dubious

You’re leaving out a lot of context though. And given your hostile response to any criticism, it feels like you’re more focused on pushing a narrative than you are genuinely trying to explain allocations of representatives

Montana had one representative until this year, and now they have two. But they also have a larger population than Delaware, which would understandably mean they would get the seat first.
And yes, I get using averages, I’m not contesting that - but your assertion made it sound like the chart would move from large states to small states, when the dataset provided really showed it going from small states to large states to some medium ones and small again. West Virginia and Delaware and Idaho certainly don’t seem to be favored

I'm a little confused. Delaware has 1.003 million people and one house representative, and Montana has 1.104 million people and...also has one house representative. How does Montana have 80% more representation when it has a larger population but the same number of representatives? I'm not saying you're incorrect, I just don't understand what context I am missing.
Another statement here that is throwing me off is the assertion "it favors the smallest states". While the most represented states are fairly small, the least represented states are also pretty small too: Delaware, Idaho, West Virginia, Utah, and Iowa. None of the *30* largest states are even in the bottom 5. In fact, if we look towards the middle of the chart, it appears that large states like California, Pennsylvania, Illinois, North Carolina, Texas, etc are right around the average. And in the "above average" column, we find Colorado, Minnesota, Oregon, and South Carolina - all of which are in the top half of states by population save for Oregon (27th). It seems like being a small state might do you some favors, but being a small state might also mean you're at the bottom of the chart too. And if you're a large state, you'll probably be somewhere in the middle.

I’m American, btw haha - unless you meant that more as a general statement towards a European. But yes, I agree completely, and I think the insecurity over realizing that they aren’t major players on the global stage like they used to be is what causes a lot of the lashing out, especially at the US. But that’s mostly their own fault. They have chosen to outsource their defense to the US, thinking they were so enlightened in doing so. When in reality, defense spending caused many of the tech gains and influence the US has today. Europe is going to further its decline into irrelevancy as Africa and east Asia continue to rise.

Reply to Building bought by developers 🤮🤮🤮 by Shiny_Deleter
I don’t understand, you signed up for a lease that is only valid for 30 days, but now you’re mad that the lease is going up at the end of the 30 days and you can’t stay longer?
I’m not sure I grasp what the “greedy” company has done wrong. They gave you until the end of your lease to leave, that isn’t “strong-arming” you, that’s typically how leases work - you’re free to leave and the owner is free to have their space back. So I’m not sure what legal action could be taken against the developer, given you signed a contact that was specifically not for longer than 30 days.

Idk, I think it’s kind of a cool piece of trivia to know we had women in congress before all women could even vote. What is the problem with this post?

Seems like the EU has decided to pick the approach of being the world’s regulator for tech companies rather than being its innovator like Silicon Valley has become. Which is understandable; frankly, I just think that the risk culture and defense spending in the US that led to its behemoth tech industry exist in a different culture than that of many European nations. Unless that changed, I sadly don’t think the EU has much of a chance of catching up the US or even China.
