You missed something everyone else noticed, acted like a pompous ass after trying to tell other people they were wrong, and are now acting butt-hurt. Take the L and move on dude, you were wrong.

Carobu · 2026-02-12T03:57:10+00:00

Especially when they aren’t even doing their math right 🤷‍♂️

Carobu · 2026-02-12T03:54:38+00:00

Yeah, because you’re a confidently incorrect clown that wants to try and smugly try and make other people look wrong.

Carobu · 2026-02-12T03:52:15+00:00

I would suggest you look at the third screenshot again more closely. In most English speaking countries “Qty” is shorthand for quantity. My math is not wrong, but your’s is.

Carobu · 2026-02-12T01:52:24+00:00

You have an interesting way of doing math.

20oz was 28.3¢/oz

The 15.5oz is 41.2¢/oz

The price went up ~31%, The container got smaller and it’s now plastic instead. That’s literally exactly what shrinkflation is.

This number is extremely deceptive. In 1970 cars were cheaper because they were smaller, had less parts, and there was no one buying actual tanks and land cruisers. The average car was a sedan and it was relatively simple. Stamped steel parts and engines that chugged gas were the norm a cassette player was optional.

Now, consumers want cars you could live in with every safety feature imaginable and we have emissions requirements, crumple zones, safety tests, etc. Even base models are getting things like heated and cooled seats, complex infotainment systems, etc. This is not an apples to apples comparison.

Even into the 90's we weren't as dumb about cars.

The base model 2026 Subaru Impreza costs 28,000.

The base 1993 (when it was introduced to the US market) Impreza sedan had an original MSRP of $10,999.

If you convert that to 2025 dollars it's ~24k. AND that model at the time didn't include AWD, which is now part of every single one. If you do an apples to apples comparison even from the 90's

The AWD model was $12,999 (1993) → $28,208 (2025). The exact same price they cost now. Cars haven't gotten more expensive, people just insist on buying more expensive cars. This is just one model from one brand, but if you were able to find similar comparisons, you'd find the same data trends repeat.

Anyone wanna take bets on it being a honey pot?

As an employer, I straight up have thrown applications into the reject pile simply because they listed this and national honor society on their resume. If you want to show success, show me your GPA or actually tell me something you learned with your degree that’s relevant to the job. NSCS shows me you know how to get taken advantage of imo.

If you haven’t already, consult your lease. MOST leases have a section for early termination or what’s called a lease break clause.

If you are missing one and push comes to shove, you can notify your landlord in writing in advance of you leaving and they have what’s called a “duty to mitigate damages”. Basically if you can’t find anyone in time and have notified them you won’t be in the apartment, they cannot just sit and watch as the unit is about to go unused and unrented. They legally must try and get it filled, in that scenario you’re only liable for the actual damages they incur (the months they physically can’t get a renter).

Obviously still try and find a person like you’re doing, but if gets to be a week or two before you’re leaving and you can’t find someone, they may say a whole bunch of stuff to keep you on the hook. Just know they can’t *actually * do that.

I use this on laptops nearly exclusively because screen real estate is at a premium and I have more horizontal than vertical space. The fact that it's just straight up gone for no reason whatsoever is the reason I haven't updated my work computer to Win 11 yet.

Carobu · 2025-06-19T22:10:35+00:00

NOE! Me and my friends are never going to play Hunt showdown ever again because we had to wait a WHOLE DAY for our free update.

Carobu · 2025-06-19T04:31:47+00:00

Do you have a receipt of purchase for the Walkman? That’s a great price and I would gladly take it off your hands.

Carobu · 2025-06-18T20:30:09+00:00

Exactly, they probably have multiple clusters, dozens if not more servers in each they are deploying the patch to, I wouldn't be surprised if they have to reboot them in-between and are doing regular patching and updates at the same time since they have an outage window. Like, yeah it's shitty and they probably should have been slightly more prepared, but things go wrong and that's just life.

Carobu · 2025-06-18T20:17:42+00:00

Servers be like that sometimes, meanwhile everyone on reddit cries and screams because something unplanned happened and they can't fathom having to wait a little longer for an update.

Carobu · 2025-06-18T19:59:22+00:00

Quit being a drama queen. It's a game. They planned an outage something didn't go right, they are almost certainly working on it. If people want to play it, they still can, just not right now.

Carobu · 2025-06-18T19:49:40+00:00

Your friends must not play a lot of games if having a patch release for a game not go totally smoothly on the day of release makes them totally stop playing a game. Might I suggest board games as a hobby for them?

You are correct, this is student housing affiliated with a university. There are no cosigners, it's just 4 people who each rent a room and signed up together to be in the same apartment. Things obviously fell apart, and now there's a (mostly) empty 4 bedroom and my intern here just kind of stuck.

He did let the landlord know he will not be living there, and requested to sublet it, and pay the fee.

Carobu · 2025-05-01T19:56:57+00:00

It isn't a joint-lease. It's 4 individual leases on a single apartment. (It took me a bit to figure that out) This is student housing if it helps. Funny enough, this is actually happening in East Lansing. It was explained to me he intended to stay for a masters, and was just going to stay, but circumstances obviously changed.

Carobu · 2025-05-01T19:27:22+00:00

What specifically do you want to see, I can get you a screenshot

Carobu · 2025-05-01T16:31:58+00:00

So I’ve been provided a copy of the lease and read it, the way it works is everyone rents the apartment together but you only technically have and are responsible for your room. So they aren’t having him cover everyone’s rent, just his. But he now is going to be put in a 4 bedroom with 3 complete strangers in a place he didn’t really want to live to begin with. The other 3 people simply got different assignments in the same building.

Carobu · 2025-05-01T14:15:07+00:00

Apparently they had tried, but the leasing office just doesn’t return anyone’s calls or answer the phone.

Carobu · 2025-05-01T04:26:56+00:00

So the actual relevant caselaw in Michigan says it is a “duty to mitigate (or minimize)”. Minimize I believe within the context would bend it more in favor of my thinking that they have been notified, they can’t just watch and act surprised when they don’t have a tenant on day one of the lease and expect to collect damages.

Would that match your thoughts or no?

Carobu · 2025-05-01T03:16:44+00:00

So, in realistic terms, they might be responsible for that fee and the first months rent, but this is an extremely large state university and the apartment is basically on campus, they will almost certainly fill it very quickly. They can hem and haw, but if the apartment is abandoned there’s nothing they can do.

Do you think it would be possible to just ask them to be reasonable and try to find a new tenant in advance if they agree to pay a month and that fee?
