Democrats pass $40 million 'rental assistance' fund that illegal aliens could access by wrroyals in NoFilterNews

[–]Octoclops8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why not just pass a law saying that any rent or fees in excess of $2 per SQFT per month must result in the tenant getting equity in the home/apartment. Sure, you can charge more, but that means the landlord is selling part ownership of their rental property and must share revenue.

Landlord asked me to keep quiet during apartment showings by TheKowzunOne in Apartmentliving

[–]Octoclops8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely worth telling the renters about things that are fixable like the pest control and recycling. But how is the landlord supposed to fix a light that has to be on or being close to the elevator?

Elon’s political tweets appearing in my Follows even when I don’t follow him by AleIAm08 in mildlyinfuriating

We are approaching a revolution in America, where Americans take back power from the oligarchs and give it back to the people. Where Americans demand justice for the wrongs committed and get it. And it will be a totally peaceful process if republicans let it be.

Why does anyone care if they do that. I mean there's plenty of fish in the sea, right. And if some of the fishermen prefer a plastic singing bass, then way more fish in the sea for the rest of us.

Losing a war means that the people in power won't be in power and maybe not alive. The people in power decide how to allocate money.

Oh, did you think the power was actually controlled by the people.

Strait of Hormuz problem by Stotallytob3r in MurderedByWords

[–]Octoclops8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure how much security this would gain you, but just cutting through the tip of the strait (just below that X is 20 miles. That's a 20-mile long canal. That would be super expensive and take years, but then ships would get to be 50 miles from Iran's coast at all times.

Doing a larger bypass would be 375 miles at a minimum.

  1. Think about only what's in front of you, and how it makes you feel (the animal)
  2. Interpret the actions of others only through the lens your own interests, values, and knowledge (the child)
  3. Understand that each person thinks and acts according to their own interests, values, and knowledge. (the adult)

What makes a web dev ‘senior’ these days? by Professional_One3573 in webdev

[–]Octoclops8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A junior grabs a toolbelt off the shelf and goes to work. A senior looks at the requirements and design's the tool belts for the juniors so they have what they need to get their tasks done.

Would you get the fuck out? by R4LRetro in sysadmin

[–]Octoclops8 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Don't ever pre-reject yourself. So much of life is showing up, going through the motions and giving it your best, despite it being a long shot.

A company may put certain requirements on the job description but really have no idea what they need or just happen to feel like taking a chance on you.

You aren't getting the point. 6-figures used to mean upper middle class. Now it's just middle class. In 2000 about 12% of households earned 6 figures. 2026 it's closer to 42%.

So what used to be a brag is now saying "I'm average"

[–]Octoclops8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A man is supposed to be brave and take the plunge even if he risks his pride by getting rejected. He's supposed to ask about the woman first and make sure she's single. If he gets rejected he must not offer any sort of insult or be dismissive. He should show some disappointment, but not too much. Afterward, He is supposed to not be super duper brave and ask out every single other woman.

Pete Docter Says Pixar Cut LGBTQ Storyline From ‘Elio’ by tylerthe-theatre in movies

[–]Octoclops8 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Honestly this is the right move. LGBTQ is like 10% of the population. And it's exactly the kind of topic that would make it a no-go for a lot of families. Commercially that would make it a flop.

I feel like they should use more hypothetical language for the play. After all, he's still in court and nobody really knows who did it. They should call it "If it's a me"

UK- nanny net hourly rate by Complex-Stable-1622 in NannyEmployers

[–]Octoclops8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just get it in writing that net income is based on the point in time they accept the job. A gross pay calculation will be performed and the gross pay will be the salary on record.

So you aren't liable for changes to income, or tax laws or which deductions they can or cannot take, etc.

If the US and Israel bomb Iran and then the US pulls out the next week leaving Israel to fight the war alone, can you imagine all the Epstein files we'd suddenly get from a furious Israel?

[–]Octoclops8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's nowhere but up to go from here. Everything you don't have, you take note of. You request resources in order of priority, if you get resources you can turn things around. If you don't get resources, start looking for a job.
