I know you guys probably already know this, but just to make it clear- just because the building was built in the 60s doesn’t mean they couldn’t have gotten a microwave and added a sign later :p

These deaths ARE happening for a reason, and that reason is the Republican party and the billionaires funding it.

My man, the amount the landlord is charging rent is entirely arbitrary outside of being ‘as high as they can get away with’. Don’t make excuses for a landlord swindling you out of your money by making that amount seem more palatable by shuffling bits of it behind “fees.”

Almost $1700 a month in base rent, the landlord can pay the damn fee for their own convenience in not having to cash a check.

Dude, he was 35 when the Dreamcast came out in North America. Hardly a “fellow kids” situation.

Us Americans don’t like it either, we would rather the company just fucking pay their employees instead hoarding money needlessly

since the server validates everything anyway

Oh you sweet summer child.

The server doesn’t validate shit, because that takes up CPU cycles on THEIR hardware, which costs them money. A huge part of kernel level anticheat is forcing YOU to pay the cost for anticheat, so they can squeeze a few more pennies out of it. And if your computer gets owned because they installed insecure, buggy malware on your system…? Well, they’ll just deny. After all, it’s kernel-level, how are YOU going to prove anything?

Which is ignoring the problems inherant to auto insurance, which is fundamentally a greater force in the price/cost of car insurance than the danger of cars.

Yes, cars can be dangerous, but that’s not why car insurance is expensive, it’s expensive because car insurance companies have a completely captive market in the US- one that must pay whatever the insurance comapny dictates.

As a result, they set the price as high as they can get away with, and then refuse to actually pay it out anyway.

Don’t make excuses for the insurance companies. The risk is the whole point, and certainly does not excuse their gouging.

You’ll notice other countries do not, in fact, have to deal with this level of price gouging, which implies it’s nothing to do with the cars themselves- it’s just the insurance companies, and it always has been.
