Rent increases are often a response to an increase on property taxes. In Kansas City this past year, it was not unusual for people to see a property tax increase of over 400%.-- A battle which you can only dispute at one court house in the entire Metro. They've had to extend the tax deadline four, five times? And they still have three times more people needing an adjustment than they have staff to handle. (You've also got fucker public schools in the areas most affected by the rates disputing the disputes because "they've already spend their budget." And didn't think there was something wrong with the extreme amount of money compared to past years?? Give me a fucking break...)

Not to be pro-landlord, but sometimes rent increases aren't entirely out of greed.

#sometimes they are #but a blanket ban would be bad #and yes I know this is the anti-landlord site (with good reason!) #but sometimes in life; you gotta or want to rent!

For the record, I would never knowingly use or share AI generated art in anything I post, so if you ever catch me doing so, it was an accident, and I'd like you to let me know so I can delete it.

(for the purposes of this poll, there is no monkey's paw situation: the chore you pick stays the same level of difficulty/grossness/etc. as it normally is for you, and you only have to do it as often as you want to. the chores you don't pick are magically done for you exactly the way you'd want them to be, just with zero effort on your part.)

#making the bed because it's not an important or necessary chore for me #let the fucker remain the same level of not-done it always is

Okay, this might be an unpopular opinion, but if you want to combat the spread of misinformation then you have to let go of any belief that people not talking about an issue means that they don’t care. The only way to reduce the spread of misinformation and disinformation is to research claims before you spread them, and there is so much information constantly being thrown at people through social media and the 24 hour news cycle that it’s impossible to fact check every claim. The same can be said about AI generated images, if you look closely then you can notice certain tells that something is AI generated but no one really has the time to analyze every single image that crosses their path.

If we expect people to talk about and spread information on every social/political/economic issue that occurs then the result will be that people will spread misinformation/disinformation because they will not have the time or mental capacity to research every single thing that happens on Earth just to make sure that they aren’t being fed incorrect information.

Only researching claims that set off a red flag or seem incorrect doesn’t actually do much to prevent misinformation, because there are plenty of claims that will seem correct on the surface or that will align with your view of the world that you won’t think to research. You have to research every claim if you want to avoid misinformation, and you can’t research every claim made by someone online.

The only solution is to accept that some people aren’t going to talk about certain issues, not because they don’t care, but because they have chosen to focus on other issues for the time being and don’t want to talk about an issue that they don’t know much about. And we really need to stop treating that like a bad thing. If you spread yourself too thin then you’re not going to accomplish anything. It’s actually good to have people devoting themselves to learning about and fighting a specific issue, that’s how progress is made.
