  • This account is 100% rage bait. Look up the account. It’s all posts like this, same formatting, tone, similar themes.

    It’s all bullshit, he contradicts himself constantly.

    There’s also a community note that the account is based in Africa.

    Edit to address replies:

    First of all, first months rent and security deposit shouldn’t factor in. You get your security deposit back from your current place if you haven’t trashed it, and you’re already paying rent, so the new apartments rent isn’t an additional cost. In fact, if you’re moving somewhere cheaper, you’ll save money that first month.

    Yes, you might have to pay those way before you move in, and there might be a delay getting the old deposit back, so you need more money up front to cover it. But if you don’t have two months’ rent in savings, credit, investments, etc? You are absolutely living beyond your means. I know I’ll get shit on for this, but that’s really not a lot to save.

    Application fees include credit checks everywhere I’ve ever lived. Here they are capped at like $25 I think? It sucks but it’s not the end of the world. Never had to pay a deposit on utilities and my credit is shit.













  • I went to St Louis the day before the eclipse in 2017. It was a spur of the moment decision, literally decided to go that morning. My friend suggested we spend the night in a Walmart parking lot and the nearest one was on the other side of the river.

    Driving through the area in the morning, I wondered how we survived the night. Holy shit. Half the city is abandoned, there’s guys with AKs sitting in their porches, and the only other businesses were gun stores and pawn shops.

    Another reason why Linux fanboys are so silly.

    It’s just whether you grew up / are more comfortable using Windows or Mac.

    I grew up on Mac OS. My first laptop was the classic translucent blue clamshell iBook running OS X Cheetah. So when I first tried Linux, I used Gnome.

    I switched to Windows when I got into gaming. But then when I got a Steam Deck, I decided to finally make the change. So now I’m much more comfortable using KDE.

    QED.
