Eh, if you want. It’s a rental…

Are you threatening to nuke my home if I don’t!?

Yeah, I think this was just a hard sell, and it works. My friend and I were apartment shopping and had already checked out a few places. Then we arrived to look at another complex and after meeting with them, we said we’d let them know if we’d like to move forward. They were very friendly, but pushy, saying “no, you don’t have to do that”, “you’re moving in here!”, that kind of stuff. Being naive and lazy, we just said okay and took the path of least resistance. Oh well, gotta live somewhere!

Ha, good catch. Damn you autocorrect!

“Pick up your gum wrapper. You have 20 seconds to comply…”

You’re not arguing from a position of strength if your personal anecdote is performance issues, 8 years ago.

Somebody’s never worked retail. Yeah, there’s no way they’ll do that. Maybe at a small independently-owned store? Otherwise, there’s no way they’re even allowed to do that!

Worse than being a pro-privacy company that utterly depends on Google?

I know we’re all thinking it, but people paying attention feel that way because… it’s creepy, it’s not useful, it’s not something they initiated, and they don’t get a clear benefit from it.

At least Google stuff is usable

Briefly. I applaud your de-Googling. More of us need to do that…

It would be better if he had a whole pack full of them, and used the skillets up by throwing them at enemies.

Damn, you sound like a legendary DM!

If any writers are reading this, and don’t act on it… what are you even doing!?
