When you are out of anecdotal evidence, just scream that the opponent is moving goal posts.

I’m all for phasing landlords out of society, but DAMN! Idiots like you really make it hard to take your side.

I think you may have read the data wrong, in two places it says

Most rental properties – about seven-in-ten – are owned by individuals, who typically own just one or two properties, according to 2018 census data.

and

Businesses own larger shares of units because individuals, while far more numerous, tend to own one or two properties at most, while businesses’ holdings are larger. In fact, 72.5% of single-unit rental properties are owned by individuals, while 69.5% of properties with 25 or more units are owned by for-profit businesses.

The first sounds like most (read: more than 50%) do, but, and I may be reading the census data wrong, it seems like less than 20% own a single property for rent. The use of typically would indicate that most do, but they don’t actually include the data in the article, which is odd and worrying.

The second also looks like it agrees with your assessment, but it actually kinda says the opposite- 72.5% of people who own single units for rental are individuals. This is surprising because it means there are 27.5% of single unit properties that are owned by businesses. However, it doesn’t mean that 72.5%, or even 50% of individuals (individual landlords) own a single unit to rent.

This article all comes from the 2018 census, when the 2021 census is also available, but I wasn’t able parse either very well.

Well, maybe they should keep their cars out of nuclear reactors!

If you rely on others…

Yeah, I’m sure you formed that opinion on a factual basis that you found through no help from what others posted or said. When I want to learn something, I do research on books and online media. When I want to understand someone’s opinion, I ask them. If you don’t know the difference between those two, your problems stem way earlier than “after school”.

You sound like the closeted book nerd that doesn’t understand public opinion. Like all the people on Twitter who once read something about “blacks are more violent than other races”, and if you ask them why they think that, how many stats they read that confirm that, possibilities of other reasons for a study’s conclusion, they respond with “It’s not the rest of the internet’s responsibility to do your research for you”- sound familiar?

If you want to accuse this “intensely human” person of lying, just do it. But claiming that anyone who hasn’t seen an example within thousands (tens of thousands? hundreds of thousands? Only been around for 2 months, but millions of site uses) of posts of users being “tankies” just needs to “research” is obtuse and moronic. If someone makes the claim, surely they have an example, and don’t expect everyone who sees this meme to read thousands of messages before continuing on their journey through !memes.

Except you, of course, who has clearly learned after school not to rely on others, so you must have read all of the comments from various hexbear users yourself, and not taken that opinion from some other poster’s list, right? You did waste all that time before suggesting others do the same for no reason, right?

Yeah, sure, buying the mugshot is clearly going to support him. Posting it as a meme isn’t.

I’m not particularly happy either way, I don’t want to see his face. I just don’t think it is pro-trump propaganda.

But also, seriously, don’t buy that merch.

nobody verified WarmSoda’s claim

he comes back with a source that it is, in fact, 3 times more expensive

uh, ok, bud. If you are here to flip flop your arguments on a whim just to pick a fight about what no one was talking about, go ahead. You can join blocksville with obnoxious name-calling guy 👍

Jesus Christ, is the copious injections of jpg needed for that meme to be funny?

No one called them communist here, they are just calling out people who are apologists for genocide.

I don’t know about Diablo 2, but Blizzard is so shady and messed up nowadays that I wouldn’t be surprised that they “lost the source code” to prevent modders being able to port games, etc.

As for transformers, it was never lost (PCGamer, if you don’t like Xfire). Hasbro claimed they wanted to provide access to legacy games, but completely made up that the source was lost. Now that we know that the source is still available… well, Hasbro clearly hasn’t tried to rerelease those games.

(note: I know this is the same company, Activision Blizzard in both cases. For anyone reading who doesn’t know, they were not the same company for the release of Diablo II, and a good amount of time afterwards.)

It’s not everyone on the internet’s responsibility to change their opinion to match yours. It is incredibly narrow minded to assume that someone would just do “research” and end with the same opinion of a group of people as you.

If you see someone express an opinion, and you don’t know why, you ask them, not go to other sources to find why.

kbin cache broken again. Not a hawt girl this time :(

Except this isn’t part of the same general category. It’s not a meme. At all. The only thing related is that pictures get posted in this sub, and you had a picture.

Could have posted in a Canadian or shitpost or 196 magazine or something.

Propaganda? It’s people sharing the mugshot. I wouldn’t think people posting it support Trump. Maybe anti-Trump for showing off his arrest.

It’s a kbin setting… It needs some refining. There is no @ autocomplete, so turning it on is the only way to have easy access to the names of who you want to ping. But people who don’t know how it works…

Anyways, you also have to turn on notifications to see if people respond to you in kbin. So it needs some work.

They came back and verified WarmSoda’s claim, and WarmSoda responded with:

You’re stuck on details that don’t matter. Ramen is not worth buying no matter how cheap it is.
But whatever. I give up. Be annoying.

So that’s why there are downvotes. Hardly “dogpiling” at these tiny numbers. It’s not about the claim, or the fact that $0.30 a pack is still dirt cheap, as they said, it’s the fact that WarmSoda is being obnoxious and name calling because they aren’t being praised for their observation.

Nah, I downvoted you because you are being obnoxious.

They told you from the get-go that “Ramen” while being a specific food is also colloquially used to refer to “inexpensive food” and Specific amounts don’t really matter.

But here you are, stuck on details that don’t matter insisting that $0.10 a pack of ramen matters to this discussion, then calling everyone “idiots”, “annoying”, and “are arguing about dumb shit”- even though you were the one who came in arguing about dirt cheap trash food not being exactly as dirt cheap as first claimed it was.

Given your continued astounding lack of awareness, too, I take it you missed your meds.

You’re stuck on details that don’t matter.

Be annoying.

I see you don’t know what “self-awareness” means.

If you lost your secondary argument that you brought up for no reason, maybe just stop replying instead of being an obnoxious shit?

Nah, OP doesn’t have a point. Most of these comments are calling out the lack of a point, but you are looking for “objectivity”…?

I don’t think anyone cares about your “apolitical” point of view that is clearly political. I would post something to r/EnlightenedCentrism, but I don’t know a magazine for that.

I’m pretty sure he started his own studio because they fired him. Though I suppose that’s just order of operations.

The weird part was they denied to the public that he would no longer be working for Konami. Kojima was verbal for months that he was no longer working for Konami, they just pretended he still did.
