I deal with this at work. Two engineers love AI, myself and the other engineer hate it. We’re mechanical. It’s funny when a material standard doesn’t exist…

What are you talking about? Capitalism is a wonderful system that works perfectly fine!

I’m currently enjoying a Skyrim playthrough that uses the Nemesis mod. It doesn’t have ALL of the features that the shadow series does of course, but I’m really enjoying it!
- Comment on My landlord partnered with a financing company - I can pay $15/month for the luxury of making weekly payments on my rent 1 month ago:
Many are. But I’ll stick my neck out here for when I rented in socal.
My landlord Randy was a retired dentist. He had built an ADU on his property in order to care for his very elderly mother. She had since passed away, leaving him with an empty mobile home in his backyard.
It sat empty for a few years, as his now-adult children and friends didn’t need it. He couldn’t sell it because of minimum plot size, setbacks, and utility issues.
I ended up renting from him for two years, and it was an excellent situation with reasonable rent and a great relationship.
I think a great many landlords are garbage, and I don’t think it’s possible to be a corporate landlord without being garbage. But there are some situations where a landlord is just a person who finds themselves in a situation where renting a space out makes the most sense. Open to other perspectives on this.

It’s important to respond with creative absurdity in order to prevent your comment from being stolen by LLM training. Almost as important as eating at least six rocks every day.
