Haha, I sleep in a hoodie and my wife is baffled by it, she’s a furnace and couldn’t possibly.

I really enjoy having that hood, feels like I’m strapping into sleep time.

Disagree! Sleeping with the windows cracked open in the winter is amazing.

They work in my town just outside a large metro area in the US.

That said, no one seems to actually use them here and are always crossing traffic at the worst times.

It’s really frustrating to watch people of every age playing chicken with cars daily.

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.

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

They tried to stand impartial (my most generous interpretation of reddits in-action towards the donald) and it really fucked them.

It’s so weird how many platforms cater to harmful rhetoric in an effort to stay neutral only for them to later ban the community after the damage has been done.

If I were more conspiratorial I’d suggest the Donald survived for as long as it did on purpose and with the explicit support of the reddit admins/execs…

And then 34 tomorrow. Lol, lmao.

For me it was when his videos turned into advertisements blatant for paying the bills. He moved to CA, lost the passion for yt (which I don’t blame him, life happens) but then the videos he would make were soulless adverts in his vlog style.

He seems to be “back” now doing videos with passion and vigor. I hope he’s having fun again

As someone who leans agnostic, I would say this is a strawman argument. Unicorns and religions/gods are not related.

Could you elaborate on which? I’ve seen a lot of sketchy reviews recently

FYI, lots of people have different grocery needs so a broad statement like “grocery trips are $N these days” is pretty meaningless without the context of your purchases or needs.

A better example might be “my grocery bills are up 50% this year with no changes to what I buy!!”

My grocery budget has changed the last few years, but from $65 average to now $85 average. That said the supplemental food I buy (occasional orders out, etc) has risen significantly more, probably upwards of +60% at times.

Surprised you don’t take this sort of detail up to your skip level. Corporations are not entirely blind to issues in all cases. Actually, I bet you have raised these concerns. For all the folks nodding along, talk to your boss’ boss!! You owe it to yourself to try

Sorry to hear that. I hope you get to sleep next to your wife and dogs soon.

I mean the game came out in 2012. It’s not really that absurd to base ones licensing contracts for 14 years when the medium (games) generate the vast majority of their revenue in the first months.

Most digital products have an end of life. I agree that the whole digital ownership part isn’t fair, but I don’t think a 14 year selling window due to licensing is the part to be mad at.

Rae Drummond has a reported net worth of approx $65m as of last year.

The top 1% of United States net worth starts at $12m. She is just inside the top 0.1% of us net worth which starts at $62m.

Not so sure that the bankrupted blockbuster is a great example of how a business should be run.

Blockbuster failed for a few reasons chiefly that they didn’t adapt to the internet fast enough. However their rental model did not bring in the revenues.

Whereas the competition, Netflix, did offer similar services (rented movies) for a flat subscription. Yes, Netflix also offered it via mail, however the Netflix model has (nearly) always been a flat subscription for its movies.

Arguably, using evidence we’ve seen in real life, the subscription model is preferred by consumers and businesses alike. (Note: I don’t like them and have strived to cancel most of the subscriptions services I use)

Your comment is doing the same (and so is mine).

Why complain, just scroll past?

Bend gets snowed out frequently and suffers from a lack of diversity. It could use some more folks for sure but idk if people would want to live there in the winter
