Owning a home can have similar issues, where the boiler, pipes, roof, septic tank, etc. can all need to be replaced at random times, and they can be suddenly very expensive. Ultimately with renting you have the flexibility to go to an entirely new market if the juice stops being worth the squeeze in your area.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•how would you deal with a relative yelling to you you killed his father just because you're the last nurse who treated him?
20·21 hours agoSometimes clients have mental health issues. Nothing you can do except try not to take it personally.
usually about $550/month including coffee and soda. I’m one person. I have tried to set a budget but I am really not good at it. I also don’t really believe in the idea of eating less healthy to save money. It seems short-sighted.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Is the role of a government to do the will of the people, or to do whats right for the country?
1·1 day agoIt’s hard to argue for austerity in the American context, where the healthcare stipends being stripped away are less than 1% of the military’s budget. It’s not actually austerity, it’s just the government taking your taxes and then refusing to do its job.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•If the government raided your house and found a bunch of .mkv files but you insist its all legally obtained, how do they ascertain if they are actually pirated or not?
2·2 days agoI’ve only ever seen people prosecuted where the copyright holder was tracking downloads on specific sites and requested the prosecution. So, the proof would be where you downloaded the media from, not on the media itself.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•How much trash is there on the surface nearest to you right now?
3·2 days agoThere are a few flecks of rice/onion peel on my dish drying mat. Today is laundry day, so it’ll be washed soon.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•If the subtext of america has always been government as 'Donald Trump' has imposed, where did liberals go wrong?
9·3 days agoThat’s the thing. Liberals didn’t go wrong. Liberals won in the marketplace of ideas and achieved mainstream dominance. It’s just that, liberals won so hard that the only way the wrong could win is by lying and cheating, because they’re objectively wrong. So, naturally vicious people naturally backlash viciously.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•How do you argue against "I have nothing to hide" in relation to privacy and security?
2·3 days agoYou have nothing to hide, but you do have vulnerabilities that can be exploited. In the capitalist context, right, your car tracks the way you drive to sell your data to insurance companies, so the insurance companies can raise your rates. There’s nothing stopping a company from, say, targeting you with discounts to induce an infrequent consumer to build a habit then raising the price after you developed a routine and preference for the product. Or, let’s say you recently purchased flights to a ski town in Colorado, a company can raise the prices on outdoor activity gear as you’re likely to purchase regardless of the cost.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Why do people who try to convince others to switch to metric focus so much on the conversions?
162·3 days agoThey keep complaining about it because we keep using the worse system for no reason. /shrug

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Why do people who try to convince others to switch to metric focus so much on the conversions?

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What's a decision you made that you wish you made differently?
1·3 days agoI would say a mile and a half is the maximum I will walk. past that it’s not worth it.
He might just have resting douche face but otherwise be harmless. But yeah, I’d definitely start putting up signs in my windows/around my building. I’m just like that.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Should longer hair be handled by salons or male barbers?
202·3 days agoA good male barber can do long male haircuts or short. I wouldn’t expect a woman’s salon to be as familiar with men’s haircuts. If I were in your position, I’d go on instagram and check out the barbers in my area.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•How can I remain professional toward this female colleague I feel wants something romantic with me when I don't?
142·4 days agoRaise it with your boss that she is making you feel uncomfortable and you’d prefer conversations were limited to work only. That is exactly how a woman would handle it if a man was being weird, and you have every and equal entitlement to be left alone.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What's a decision you made that you wish you made differently?
24·4 days agoToday, between classes, I decided to go to the co-op instead of the library and doing my property reading. I told myself I’d just pick up some red lentils, since my grocery store is out. It’s only a 20 minute bus. -$113 dollars later and missing the bus and standing outside in the freezing cold for an uber and missing my property quiz again…should’ve just went to the library…
Was wondering why everyone couldn’t just dump their bags outside a politicians house who could have power to affect change.
Because that’s likely violating a number of city ordinances and possibly also several crimes.
I think a PETA-style human display would be a good idea right now, in the imagery of Pretti/the Last Jew in Vinnitsa.
Realistically this is something you should not have been sent at all. You left the group chat because the people were treating you badly, and they’re still trying to bully you after you left. I would just block all of these people.
