  I probably just need to buy a fair phone at this point.

  …is that real or a clever pun you just made up? I really want to know without using Google.

  Of course. I would love to see my mom again, and I would love to be that lucky lottery winner. I’d love to get better grades in math, too.

  So… Ranch dressing?

  It fucking depends on the target weakness bro.

  Landlords as the people who rent out places to live to other people are responsible for the house. It’s not raw unimproved land. Houses need to be built. They’re objects with many moving parts, subject to a lot of technical challenges, and code enforcement.

  If you allow that object rental has a place in society, I struggle to understand how houses are not ethically the same as renting lawnmowers. You can be a predatory arse or a fair dealer about any rental situation.

  Churchill never had to learn plumbing in a rural area of a state because he had to do the work himself because there was nobody to do it for him.

  EXCELLENT POINT. “Class status” is not anything objectively measurable. Wealth is.

  I aspire to be independent. To be free to do art and sell it without worrying about food or housing.

  Bro they are being facetious to make a point

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Rent is theft⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  See, that’s an excellent point! But “landlords suck” as a stance doesn’t allow for nuance like “some landlords suck and some tenants are abusive dirtbags”, it paints all tenants as pure victims of a system and all landlords as evil overlords. This lets people who are tenants feel righteous.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Rent is theft⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m trying to point out that “landlords are evil” is a stupid stance because how and why you do things matters. Everything counts in large amounts, and I have had good landlords before. Tenants who have never done their own property maintenance rarely understand what goes into property maintenance.

  Someone created the house. The house didn’t grow there organically…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Rent is theft⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Does this still apply to the apartment building I once lived in which was built and run by an immigrant family as a long term family investment, and they charged a really reasonable price?

  Just curious.

  “ethical hacker” is not defined as “someone who only hacks in fear of law”. That’s my point. Hackers with ethics do lots of shit. Some of them work within the law, some of them work sideways to the law, but your code of ethics and your legal code aren’t quite the same thing, and you assuming they are is surprising.

  Girl Tech?

  Bro.

  Stares in old lady

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Inside the Underground Trade of ‘Flipper Zero’ Tech to Break into Cars⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Dude, do you want individual hacking to become illegal? Because people who are not hacking daily are prone to forgetting that some hackers don’t actually act maliciously.

  Also, yes, some hackers are ethical and do care. Not you, obviously. But some.
