How is supporting Ukraine related to the egg shortage caused by avian flu?

Why do you think people still fall for the, “I’m just asking questions” routine?

I don’t recall subscribing to sirderpy’s Tucker Carlson questions simulator. Where do I unsubscribe?

Why do we care what you think?

Trump wasn’t convicted of rape either. He’s a rapist, just not a convicted one.

Deadnaming

Most of the greens here on Lemmy convinced me to never consider a green canidate.

It probably got wet.

There’s a firefox extension that upgrades the twitch player and blocks ads. Can’t remember the name but it was easy to find when I searched for it.

Which wastes a lot of time and a lot of money.

The American way.

They are worse. Unless you’re using an adblocker.

The primary source is a leaked podcast script from a podcast run by an anonymous celebrity gossip Instagram account which was posted on reddit. This is basically the journalist equivalent to using 4chan green-text as a citation. The article, which fails to verify anything, is a year and a half old and not a soul related to the production has corroborated any part of it in that time.

No official statement was made about why Cavill is no longer on The Witcher. I wouldn’t doubt that he was being difficult on set considering his love of the source material and how little the show respected it. I also wouldn’t be surprised to find out his contract just ran out and neither party was interested in renegotiating.

James Gunn has specificly said, on thar record, that Cavill wasn’t fired. The next Super Man is just going to be younger. After how badly Black Adam flopped, I’m not surprised they’re taking the DCU in a different direction.

To be fair, Kissinger was pretty amazing at being a war criminal.

It’s been years and years since I set foot in a Game Stop (US equivalent of the store you mentioned) but they would also “buy” any functional game you brought in. However, you would be lucky to get more than for $1 in store credit towards another used game for anything other than a new release.

1. That does nothing to answer the question of how a single building with multiple occupied units could be converted into a rent to own property.

2. In most states that have a program like this the property tax exemption is laughable compared to the average annual income from owning an apartment building with 10+ units. For example, in California you get $7000 towards your annual property taxes for living on property. The average rent for an apartment in San Francisco is right around $3500/month.

No. It’s extremely uncommon but the comment that started this discussion mentioned forcing landlords to adopt rent to own programs. Got me thinking about how cool it would be if that was a viable option.

Whether or not they should exist is basically irrelevant. They do and that’s not something we’re likely to see change. Also, sometimes renting is a better fit for people at certain phases of their life.

In exchange for a reasonable rent, a landlord is responsible for ensuring that the building is kept safe and well maintained and that any necessary repairs happen as quickly as is reasonably possible. What I’d really like to see is landlords being held accountable for failing to do so.

I like the general idea but how does rent to own work for multi family properties, especially in larger apartment buildings? I know condos exist already but that requires an HOA or something similar to provide upkeep for the building/property. I also wouldn’t want to completely deincentivize renting because there are situations where it’s a better fit for people as long as they are not getting gouged or kicked out needlessly.

Maybe instead of a credit for occupying a property you own, add a tax on income from rental properties that is earmarked for the kind of infrastructure that an area needs to accommodate a growing population including mass transit. There would have to be some protections in place to prevent landlords from passing that cost directly to tenants but I’m not smart enough to know how to do that.

Alongside that, offer a tax credit for rent to own arrangements that starts small and gets larger as the tenant gets closer to owning the property. Successful transfer of ownership gets the original owner a credit equal to the difference between the taxes paid and credits received plus interest and the new owner gets a reduced property tax rate for their first year of ownership.
