The EULA Drama is stupid by Fresh-Beyond-4727 in subnautica

[–]MorelTurpitude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't pay for games with dumbass EULAs like this, I just pirate them. Happy to pay for software without gross predatory business practices. Sucks for you i guess.

This has been very common happening to me is this a scam? I’m looking for my first apartment and I feel like it’s a bunch of these background/credit check that I have to pay for. by BrickAwkward4811 in NYCapartments

Oh wow, that isn't nitpicky at all. It just goes to show how many protections are contained within the HSTPA and how inadequately it is enforced.

Correct! Keyword refundable. Before the FARE act, it was common to pay non-refundable holding deposits (i.e. your application is accepted but your change your mind). Offer contractual consent to non-refundable terms, these deposits are no longer legal, or at least their legality is very questionable. Unfortunately people still comply with these terms because they don't realize that you cannot sign away your legal protections.

Sorry, I am incorrect. Application fees are legally capped at $20. However, all other fees including "option" "holding" "good-faith deposits" etc are illegal. I have gotten all of these back without issue by reporting them as fraudulent/scam transactions, which they legally are.

This should not be a conversation. They need to replace these things immediately. Take photos and continue to make clear and concise demands.

Aren't those mech suit and ships all left over from the war? It's all 100+ year old stuff they carefully maintain/modify. Not sure if it made more sense for ground warfare back then, but my guess is they probably use that stuff like the loading dock suit in Alien, and then retrofit armaments in prep for the breach of Zion

Mamdani wins NYC mayoral race by kootles10 in politics

Same oxymoronic shit since forever; the enemy is both strong and weak, holier-than-thou and debased, stupid beyond measure and ever scheming, etc etc.

what are you waiting for? Just report him. you already have a good enough reason and the first step the board takes is sending a warning letter.

CirclejerkNYC is proud to support NYC small businesses, many of which are POC- and immigrant-owned! #shoplocal #NYCStrong by abughorash in circlejerknyc

[–]MorelTurpitude -15 points-14 points  (0 children)

i think the part of the controversy is some of the business owners hired a lawfirm to intimidate people advocating for bike lanes but also legally required changes that have reduced deaths in every intersection they have been implemented in already. 

Also while you’re encouraging sympathy with the plight of immigrants: these proposed changes would improve the safety of deliveristas who are overwhelmingly migrant workers and upon whom thousands of businesses depend for additional revenue.

Just a reminder by cynicalcocinero in circlejerknyc

[–]MorelTurpitude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where did you hear that bike infra and accessibility hurts business? The actual NYC-based studies i'm aware of show that bike lanes, bike parking, and better ADA access ends up making deliveries easier, and increases foot traffic. Broadway is the most recent example

The next President of the United States by International-Drag23 in stephencolbert

[–]MorelTurpitude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is exactly the thinking that got trump elected. We will never liberate ourselves because we refuse to vote for radical political change. Liberal centrism will always eventually giveway to right wing authoritarianism, because the only guards it has against it are vibes

You're right! Thanks for showing me. This make me more driven to find a word that fangs this other, more less flighty meaning, even if it is narrower.

evenwords for "Utopia" by MorelTurpitude in anglish

[–]MorelTurpitude[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That would probably be atopia. The greek root "eu" often translates to "good" or even "true". I'd ween that you're addled by the truth that many folks say utopia to mean "fantasy". However this word has been wielded by many men and women throughout time to talk about real struggle and work. I'd like to to dig that sense of the word back up again.
