I didn't say I had a problem with it; I was just stating that it's very commonplace and it has nothing to do with 'renter's mentality' as it happened when purchasing a home (this is the 4th home I've purchased in my lifetime).

A person with a 'management' title has no theoretical limit to the top end of their salary. Everyone else does.

I just bought a house in March. Any listing where the home was already vacated (95% in my case) the listing was AI-augmented with furniture that would not exist when I went to tour the home.

This has nothing to do w/renting; it's everywhere.

I was playing on a 53K USR Courier at 185 ping and that was a bit laggy when compared to the LAN at college (even if it was 4xT1s for 25K students). I really want to know how the hell you were able to do anything useful at 500+ms.

Good; it's monopolistic, predatory, and ultimately unnecessary. The entire practice is aimed at driving consistency and forced adoption rates, not anything else.

So many purchases of non-physical items are a revocable license. There's a good chance they didn't use LaTex to create their court filing documents because that software too probably comes with a revocable license to use, not own.

Honestly, it was the tone of the message, which is admittedly difficult to derive from a forum. IMHO, the proper response would have been one that questioned whether the 'upscale grocer' selling spareribs at $6.99/lb vs $1.49/lb were at different ends of the subjective or objective quality spectrum. In my case, they are literally the same brand: Smithfield. The only difference is that Aldi is $5+/lb less expensive.

That said, IMO, unless we're talking about a butcher that sources heritage-breed Berkshire (or the like) pork from a local farmer, I don't really give a flying fuck where the previously cheap cut of meat I'm going to put on my smoker for 6h is sourced from.

Why would I pay $6.99/lb at one of the 'upscale grocers' in town for spareribs when I can get them at Aldi for $1.49? I, too, drive a Mercedes, but it doesn't mean I'm a fucking moron w/my money.

If you look at what company owns LinkedIn you will understand why it has gone to sh;t.

hint on who it is: Their headquarters are at One Microsoft Way, Redmond WA

My bad, those were Telsa global delivery numbers, not US. For the US sales numbres:

Q1 Sales: 128,100 vehicles were sold and Q2 Sales: 143,535 vehicles were sold for a total of 271,635 which would mean a significant number of EVs were purchased from other vendors this year in the US. THAT's a big deal if you're a Tesla stock holder or employee.

Obviously stated by someone who has never driven a modern EV. Because they have the torque of a turbo diesel, the speed of an LS8 and at more than 2x the energy conversion efficiency. They get ~300 miles on effectively the energy of 3 gallons of gasoline.

But, if you REALLY like driving snow plow looking vehicles becasue they look manly have at it. But don't judge until you've pinned yourself into the seat a few times in one of the many EVs on the market today.

Google says Tesla sold Q1 2025, 336,681 vehicle deliveries and Q2 2025, 384,122 vehicles delivered.
I guess some of those could have been sold in 2024 but a full 100,000 unit difference and that's just Telsa so the 50,000 or so GM and Ford sold aren't even counted. Note, just guessing on the Ford and GM number since they are usually just a fraction of Tesla sales.

The average employee lasts well less than a year at a fast casual; this had little to do w/her background.
