I think there is also upside here by formally allowing renters to positively affect their credit history through consistent renting.

Homeowners and credit card owners can improve their credit via consistent payments, why not renters?

(Yes, I do know there are ways to have your lease impacting your credit but they aren't a default and many renters would benefit from the credit boost this could enable)

I'm nearly at 7 with my employer and I've found the situation to be quite good and I see no sign yet to jump ship. There's still good gigs out there.

I'm sure the person you are responding to had good reason to stick around 20 years. It's possible only recently did the math not work out for them.

Yeah, I'm with you. The entitlement around media (games movies TV) is insane to me.

Your waiting for concessions reminds me of Martin Niemoller's "First they came for". You're waiting for specific focus on your needs, but in the meantime by abstaining from the process you are enabling others suffering.

You sound politically self-centered. It's fair to feel that way. But perhaps you should participate so that you can sway the process towards a side that is attempting the opposite of harm.

You could work to better the world you live in with the tools at your disposal (voting, for the lesser of two evils). If you don't, then you only have yourself to blame when no one helps you.

Jokes on us, no products are made to be one time purchases anymore. Buy it for life is dead in the commercial space. :(

You do realize those are usually exclusive for only a year, right? So EGS pays them out for a year of exclusivity and then the devs are free to launch on steam and others.

The thing is, often if they don't get that first infusion of cash from a deal with EGS (or another investor) they don't get to complete or even launch the game at all. So it never would make it to the other markets.

Btw he still has to play the full amount. Just reduced payment needed now. It's still shitty, but he ain't off the hook.

I have a pair of wired ath m50x from 2008. They still work well and on the third set of pads.

Pretty sure folks are referring to streaming sites meaning like Netflix. The person you are responding to said "click and go" referring to services like YouTube and Hulu not sketchy "streaming" sites like what you are describing that require some hoops to go through to make sure.you don't download a virus.

Uhh it's not like the UK is actually any better in this situation if it's true that they are sending random migrants to Rwanda

Could you pull the ladder up behind you any harder?

they almost certainly saw you

Nah, there's not enough info to know that or even assume it. People are not perfectly aware of their surroundings or others looking at them
