Unfortunately 90% of jobs require contributing to and reinforcing the worst aspects of society.

It makes it too easy to game the system and create gridlock because you only need influence over a bunch of very small percent of the population.

Smaller states should have less of a say. I’m not sure how that seems unreasonable. The people should decide. It doesn’t matter what state they live in. It might have made sense 200 years ago but now I can’t believe people seriously support it.

Not sure where you live but in America stop signs are everywhere. You can’t go anywhere without hitting multiple.

In my experience most people don’t even know what a zip or rar is or how to extract them.

You cannot reason someone out of a position that they did not reason themselves into. Most of the time they even think they are being logical and reasoned their way into their beliefs, but because they refuse to rectify their cognitive dissonance, they are stuck with contradictory beliefs which they haven’t accepted are incompatible.

I posted one very detailed negative review on apartments.com I think it was and it was deleted lol… not sure if my complex had a hand in getting it removed or what, but there was no valid reason to delete it.

Its just insane there’s no laws to help with these situations. They’re becoming extremely commonplace.

It didn’t used to be that bad. I moved in at $700/month back in 2015 or so and now its going to be up to about $1500. It used to raise $50 each renewal which was reasonable but then covid absolutely skyrocketed the prices of everything.

Moving may be the only option long term, but I’m not ready yet so I was wondering if people had techniques for dealing with these companies so that you aren’t just instantly dismissed.

Its all just a scam I’m afraid. There’s no real benefit to any of these ideas.
