Powered Descent posted:Life hack: make up your own definitions for words, so you can deliberately misunderstand people who use the word in its normal sense, and you can feel offended. This morning I swept the porch and vacuumed the living room, but nobody'd call me a housekeeper. Then I went out and weeded the area by the back walk, but nobody's gonna say I'm the groundskeeper. Last week I painted a wall in my bedroom, but I'm no painter. But apparently you rent one room one time and you're a landlord. Huh. Who'd have thunk. I mean, nobody aside from you and like two other posters here, but like, wouldn't it be weird if we lived in a world where that word and that word alone were used differently than every other professional title?

I'm gonna guess a big part of the issue is that rent costs way more than mortgage-- like a home that's $600/mo to own will be $2000/mo to rent, and the apartments in the area will be around $1200. People renting have trouble saving up a down payment to buy a house because rent is so drat high, so they get stuck renting for a long time. The whole system is completely hosed besides good and bad landlords.

The whole system is completely hosed besides good and bad landlords. Of course rent costs more than a mortgage, because a mortgage isn't the whole cost of owning property. There's property taxes, insurance, regular maintenance and occasional big ticket expenses, plus your time if you put any value on your time. Yeah there's still a markup, but it may not be as good a deal as the mortgage ads lead you to believe when they say owning is cheaper then renting.

We did math and determined that buying in our area and market would be much more expensive than continuing the rent from our friends.

Life Hack: Post Life Hack content to the Life Hack thread in hope that people will stop loving debating capitalism. Other Life Hack: Make earrings out of your AirPods. Upside: Harder to lose your AirPods, maybe? Downside: Ugly earrings. Also, people lose earrings on the reg. Also, they cost $20. Kudos to her for her Shopify store name, though.

Also, Bluetooth headphones with buttons and a mic exist. But who cares about all that function when there's so much ~fashionable~ form!!! Points for trying to unfuck a bad idea to begin with I guess.

2.20$ for Two Litres is still a 1$ a Litre. 1.10$ if you want to be precise.

My first job was at a corner store and I remember a lot of poo poo we stocked would slowly decrease in size and stay at the same price point without comment. It was when the price changed that we got riots. Even if it ended up at a better price per weight than it used to be.

It's super common for most products but you go and buy milk by the litre and the product size has been uniform across brands for decades. If all of a sudden milk was 900ml people would go nuts.

The only thing I know about milk consumer behavior is that people have a pavlovian response to buy out my store's entire stock every time a big storm is coming for reasons I don't fully understand.

You run out pretty quick. I've been snowed in for several weeks now (I cleared the driveway just in time for it to hit -20 (about -30 for those using a logical temperature scale) and then drop two feet of fresh snow as soon as it warmed up) and I'm down to two boxes of shelf-stable milk.

Stocking up on milk and bread before a snowed-in event makes no sense because milk and bread go bad faster than basically anything else you could stock up on. I've only been able to get to stores once every ten days or so lately so I buy stuff like potatoes, rice, and dried beans. What's the point of buying 10 days worth of poo poo that spoils in 4 days?
