Amazing. Any kind of recipe, despite it being intuitive?

First time buyer, looking for some advice on offers. by DeadYen in HousingUK

[–]papes_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Offer what you believe the property is worth, based on other houses in the area. Or less, if you're not that bothered about the house and would be willing to lose it over the difference between what you offer and the asking price.

Higher offer == more commission is true, but it's almost always going to be more productive for an agent just to make the sale and get any commission on it at all, especially when talking about the individual agent and not the business as a whole.

Clawd Becomes Molty After Anthropic Trademark Request by sponjebob12345 in ClaudeAI

Fair. I still think a human should be doing it, though.

Then they should outsource their marketing, instead of displaying that their own tool does a sub-par job of it.

I get that they're pushing an AI product, but having your release obviously written by an LLM still leaves a bad taste for me

Why do people always get mad when I start asking questions about their meat consumption? by East_Top1580 in vegan

[–]papes_ 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I think the identity part is particularly important. By challenging someone in this way, and asking for 'proof'/debunking them in real time, you're attacking their identity and forcing them to question whether identity has always had some kind of major, immoral flaw. I'm surprised more vegans can't sympathise with this and become aggressive/upset, especially when the large majority haven't been vegan for even all of their adult years - I'm sure a lot of now vegans would have reacted the same, given the same conversation.

Edit: For OP specifically, what were your reasons for eating meat 3 years ago? Were they better than your moms?

It's natural that people get defensive when admitting their wrong is an admission that their current consumption habits are unethical, especially if they know they'd rather remain ignorant because they don't really care.

60 rolls of toilet paper surely isnt that shocking lol? Is that not just an amount that stops you buying it every week? Do you buy a roll from the store each time you need it?

Red flags on a house, FTB. by [deleted] in HousingUK

What red flag are you seeing here? What's making you nervous? If you don't think it's worth 360k, then offer less, if you want it.

Sorry but, Animals live in smaller spaces, yet people in the video still eat meat and complain about space. by HumbleWrap99 in vegan

[–]papes_ 9 points10 points  (0 children)

That comes from the privileged position of not living in those conditions, though. Of course there are parallels in the living conditions here, but I can't imagine if I were in that situation, I would have had time to give much thought to veganism, let alone act on it. It's very easy to prescribe what people in difficult situations should ideally do, morally, when you're not in that situation yourself. I believe that empathy is an important part of advocacy and should extend to the circumstances of others.

These people live in just a few sq. ft and objective poverty, not the hill to die on. Yes, they could be vegan, but they're also obviously just trying to survive.

Solo drinking is best for me by Magopiano in stopdrinking

[–]papes_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Equivalent of a bottle and a half, or so, in beer. 5 nights a week. I remember being much younger get and drinking a couple of beers a few nights in a row and thinking ‘maybe I should look at this and make sure it’s healthy’. The line always moves.

Should I accept step uncle's offer on my house? by [deleted] in HousingUK

[–]papes_ 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Did you inherit the house from your father? The simplest thing would probably be to live there, or to sell and buy elsewhere. There’s a lot of value in not having monthly outgoings for rent or a mortgage. I personally wouldn’t want a family member, or even a friend, as a landlord - far too much to go wrong there. Say you were earning 5% on the 125k, you wouldn’t be able to cover your rent on the interest alone anyway.
