Yeah, if the rent suddenly went up, you were likely month to month.
It can still go up when a lease expires, but generally you have more notification and the opportunity to negotiate.
It will cost a landlord less to give you a better rate, than clean up and refurbish the unit for a new renter.
I’m guessing you were renting month to month instead of signing a lease? Under a lease you’re guaranteed the same amount every month until the lease expires.
No… Lemmy is, but Lemmy is not indicative of society at large, hell, the Internet is not indicative of society at large.
Look at the last US election, if we were going to Eat the Rich would we have elected a putative billionaire candidate backed by Elon Musk?
We had been doing lights, can’t afford it this year.
Have a fake wreath to put on the door though!
Get through the day.
Sling for live TV and Max for John Oliver, that’s pretty much it. Oh, and a Disney+ gift subscription for my sister. Comcast gave me a free subscription to Peacock, but frankly I never watched it and I’m not on Comcast anymore so I don’t know if it’s still active or not.
My WIFE might have a problem though… She does Amazon Prime, Netflix, Disney+/Hulu, AppleTV, Spotify, I think there might be others I’m not aware of.
I know there was a problem where federation was lagging by a couple of days, but I thought it was fixed? I’ll hit up the Admins.
TikTok without the government spyware.
There’s a lemmy community posting weblinks as well so you don’t need the app.
It’s fine, I wish there was more original content, but it’s fine.
I wonder if he’s only talking about the recent conflict or if he goes back farther than that, because Israel has been pulling this shit in Gaza for DECADES now.
“Sprays on vehicles” is not the same thing as “shits in cars.”
If someone is dumb enough to leave their car open to where animals can get inside, they deserve what they get.
Unaltered animals are going to mark territory whether you feed them or not.
They likely keep track of who has been delivered which devotional to avoid duplicates.
Not even 30 seconds, it’s as much time as it takes to type the new address and click “save”.
Our CEO made a big announcement about how we were going to move from a B2B (Business to Business) environment to a B2C (Business to Consumer) environment. B2C is the future, Internet of Things, yadda yadda.
So, since we have an open door policy, I popped him an email and asked him what the plan was to invest in our infrastructure because, as it stood then, B2C was out of reach and the clients we had attempting it were finding it wasn’t robust enough, citing my example client list and recent failures.
I got immediate heat. Nobody had told him our infrastructure couldn’t do it. “What are your sources? How do you know?” - Sources cited. CEO went to his yes men: “This guy knows what he’s talking about and seems really sure of what he’s saying…”
Oh.
10 years later, we’re on our 3rd CEO, our infrastructure still isn’t updated, and B2C still hasn’t happened.
Removed, this is internal US news, not World News.
I think the trick is the daily devotional, they’ll want to know who you are to deliver that.
Bible Gateway is great if you just want the text, multiple translations even.
Hard to describe the impact he had, even if you didn’t care for his music. On fashion, choreography, design, the 80s were really driven by Jackson.
In terms of scale, from the person at the top making xxx times the person at the bottom, they’ve likely always been around.
“Robber Baron” is the ye olde term.
Google tells me John D. Rockefeller peaked at around $1.4 billion in 1937. 1.5% of US GDP.

The average wage in 1937 was $890 a year.

So Rockefeller, at his death, had amassed as much wealth as 1,573,034 average people would earn in a year.
In order to hit 1.5% of current US GDP (27.36 trillion), Bezos or Musk would have to hit 410.4 billion. That’s how wealthy Rockefeller was.
1.2 Musks. 2 Bezoses.
Probably a tie between Tremors 1/2, Big Trouble in Little China and Buckaroo Banzai.
Plenty of comments in Politics about how dumb the Democratic campaign was, the bans were for calling them perpetrators of a genocide, which is false.
