  Mentioning @Diddlydee@feddit.uk here to address you both in your similar corrections rather than duplicate my reply: I stand corrected.

  I see that I had misconstrued my personal misgivings with the penalties of failing to pay with a lack of legal ownership.

  It still feels off, precarious, to describe it as ownership to me, but I recognize what you’re both saying regarding the legal standing of it all.

  hello frog, that is sad to hear, have you tried calling doompost?

  Own as in mortgages/loans paid off, I take it? That’s the slight distinction I’m thinking of with expensive items that typically can’t be bought outright. It’s not wholly owned until mortgage/loan is paid off, which you kinda nod towards with your last sentence.

  In the vein of houses and cars, yeah. I should get in a better habit of elaborating on ambiguous terms in the body, only haven’t as I’ve mixed experience with people skipping over those.

  How does one account for maintenance costs with this view? Even barring taxes, you may have to pay for upkeep either in materials or contracting out services to assist in maintenance.

  Thanks for this info! I was unaware of this given how rarely it’s mentioned.

  That’s what I was thinking might be the case for players, alongside the fun/new factors Jordan mentions. Thanks for the reply!

  Appreciate the reply and link regardless! It’s always whack-an-ad with these intrusive jerks.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lefty Stacks - Good writers talking about protest or resistance on Substack⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  For what it’s worth, I hadn’t seen that article before, so I was honestly curious about more up to date info on the situation since what I’d last seen.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lefty Stacks - Good writers talking about protest or resistance on Substack⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  About 38 minutes in (after scrubbing through to find it, please podcasters include transcripts) I think I found what you were thinking of. However it’s one of the other people that uses the platform mentioning something they’d seen suggesting what OP mentioned, without saying where they saw it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lefty Stacks - Good writers talking about protest or resistance on Substack⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Inb4 “Substack Nazis boo Nazis Nazis Nazis.” That is incorrect. There were only like 3 neo-Nazis, with about 10 followers apiece, but anyway they kicked them all out some time back now, because the entire internet was yelling at them.

  Do you have sources for these claims?

  That addresses a slightly different question. Supposing people know of the free stuff, why isn’t it discussed more?

  Good points! Although I feel like I may be out of the loop on some of the discussion/mention of archive.org stuff, which likely speaks to me being out of it more broadly regarding discussions of other related materials.
