  • Why is your friend selling bud? Seems like a key piece of info, and if they're your friend I presume they're not simply a leech landlord, because then you'd be friends with an evil scumbag and your argument would be ridiculous.

  • I fully understand the root of hatred. This post isn't that though it's someone bitching about their friend selling their house.

    People get fucked through no fault of their own all the time, that doesn't make it the landlords fault either. Is it the landlords fault if they get relocated in their job and have tj sell up and move?

    This post sounds like a shit load of entitlement to me. OP is being fucked because they rented a place and expected that to last forever.

    As I said, I've rented for 15 years, I have every sympathy when people are fucked over by bellend landlords. But this isn't that is it...?

  • Fuck your friend for selling the thing they own...?

    I get the hate towards landlord leeches, but selling a house that you own is not being that. It's unlucky for you, but not some horrifically dickish thing to do.

    If your friend decided to sell during a downturn they probably have a very good reason and are either embarrassed or simply don't want to share the reason (or have a very valid reason which they are sharing that you've chosen not to mention)

    Honestly after 5 months in lemmy my mentality is leaning towards "fuck entitled renters" more than "fuck landlords". That's speaking as someone who's rented for 15 years and counting.

  • Hopefully they're a bit more humble these days then. I won't lie, it makes me happy to know some people like that got what was coming to them. A bitter prick I might be but after watching my wife teeter on the brink of collapse working on the wards I have no sympathy for anyone who's chosen to believe anything but the overwhelming scientific consensus.

    If you need to believe that EVERYTHING the government does is wrong then you're as bad as people who believe that everything they do is good. Unfortunately the pandemic seemed to create swathes of people like that who reduce an argument all the way down to absurdity.

    I think in your position I wouldn't be able to help myself, maybe I wouldn't directly make fun of his incontinence but I'd probably ask if he remembers when he used to call me diaperface or something like that, just a sly reminder to him what a cunt he was.

  • Having lots of empty planets is realistic to be fair, but realism is unfortunately boring a lot of the time.

    Personally I'm a big fan of the game but I've been pining for a Bethesda game for a long time and I will always enjoy a fetch quest where I have to kill bandits. I totally understand the criticism (although I do think it's slightly blown out of proportion because it's Bethesda).

    Overall, the game is good. It's not great (yet, anyway) but I'm 30ish hours in and I feel like I'm 10hrs in. The quest line I focused on after getting my bearings seems to be one of the better ones and while I prefer exploring in a skyrim/fallout way I have had plenty of fun just dropping by random planets to see what I can find. It's at least very obvious which planets are boring before you even land on them. Ultimately in real life I think we can be pretty confident that the vast majority of planets and solar systems would be boring as fuck. Starfield needs some aspect of realism so having one or 2 planets or moons/stations per system that are actually worth visiting is a good call in my opinion.

  • Jesus I just set up an iPhone 15 purchase with at&t claiming to trade in your phone and yeah it's $1000 trade in. However I couldn't work out why it was a final price of 0 so I kept going, the actual network plans are fucking insane prices so I guess that's where they make their money back. In the UK I pay £20 a month for a Samsung s22 and £20 a month for 200gb data and unlimited calls/texts. The equivalent of about $50 a month total without even trading in my old phone.

    I was feeling hard done by until I got to the network plans, fuck me.

  • If that were the case couldn't I literally buy a phone with cash and trade it in for more value?Right now in the US you can buy an iPhone 13 for $475 from Walmart, but a carrier will give you a trade in value of $640ish you reckon?

    We generally don't buy phones with cash here either and there are plenty of networks competing, but nobody offers 80% of what you paid 2 years later as a trade in, because they simply aren't worth it.

    Not saying you're lying, I just don't see the logic, feel like I'm missing something.
