I used this exact thing as a teaching aid when I taught the ROTC opsec lesson. Also scared a couple kids pale when I told them Snapchat keeps a 6-month record of everything you send

But how much can I charge to be verified, versus how much can I charge to not have your link flagged or removed?

I’ve never actually seen, just the references. Guess it’s worth a go

Exactly. I’m not blaming Google entirely, though I do condemn them for being an example of what emerges from a system who’s only incentive is maximum profit.

Cool cool cool. The dark games list is basically all the play store recommendations

Agreed. But also, it’s a good way to communicate complex ideas quickly like Darmak and Jalaad. And many novel ideas come from “What if (blank) did (thing) but differently?” Like a huge portion of art history is just artists doing something another artist did in a different way.

Pretty sure Kars would only have sex with his own reflection, if he wasn’t a stone cold lady killer
- Comment on With Shared Software, Landlords Are Teaming Up to Raise Rents 3 months ago:
I think there’s a little room for nuance, but not much. The way corporate landlords are buying up houses and collaborating to fix prices is totally fucked and needs regulated. There also needs to be regulation or limits for private property owners who buy up a bunch of properties and slumlord it.
Where I think there’s nuance is how things fall right now. I just left the military and I’m renting out my house exclusively to military occupants who are not trying to buy. I bought it at 3% interest and my mortgage is more or less fixed. The next buyer was looking for it as an addition to their rental portfolio. I did the math before deciding to rent and found that because my interest and mortgage are so low I can charge $800/month less in rent than a mortgage would be if I sold it. It’s also less than their housing allowance so they have more for utilities and food.
It’s regrettable that this is the situation, but in this specific case in a very high demand/low supply area, renting it out is the lesser of the evils. Hopefully the market crashes or rates fall and I can sell it to a family who needs it. But until then, I’ll try to make things easier on some service members.

I chose this. I’ve got my undergrad and 10 years of work experience. This has been a developing plan for the past 8 years, so it’s not an uninformed decision and it’s not anyone else’s expectation.
But yes, you shouldn’t do something just because someone said so
