Hey I didn’t mean to sound like I was ridiculing you. I wasn’t sure if you were joking or just being absurd. I genuinely was curious why you have a phobia.
I get it. Some people hate spiders or snakes or anything that doesn’t resemble comfort. It’s not exactly uncommon.
I am sorry you feel that way and have to deal with that phobia. Just know you aren’t alone.
I hope you can find peace. Thank you for replying.
Never said you could. But why?
How is an earth worm your biggest phobia? They are harmless to you.
It’s a lot less presentable than you think. Reality is people aren’t going to saying anything because they don’t want to be rude.
Especially when most dudes growing beards look like they have public hair growing out of their face. They look ridiculous.
I think they’ve given up on trying to get laid.
Beards are so itchy and annoying I’d rather just shave.
You need some lessons in thermal dynamics my man.
Life is a complex beast. Nothings gonna change it. In the end the US is just a mixing pot of ideas and cultures. There’s always gonna be some shit you hate about it.
Of course. This is lemmy. I don’t need to care about which measuring unit you have a preference for in order to reply.
I just find it interesting that tons of people on the internet complain about measuring units on a regular basis and any time I see it it’s always a European.
Why are all you so sensitive? You have trouble with calculators or something?
It’s a fascinating subject to me because it’s so fucking bizarre. It’s purely a euro thing.
Ya but it isn’t the cans, glass bottles, and cardboard that’s causing permanent environmental damage. It’s plastic that we are manufacturing daily all for it to wind up in a landfill and the side of the road which finds its way into rivers, lakes , oceans and pretty much everywhere else.
The lack of recycling glass isn’t what’s killing us. It’s plastic.
We don’t recycle enough
Maybe if recycling wasn’t a massive joke it might be useful and people might embrace it.
The reality is no matter how much effort you put into recycling it’s going to a landfill or incinerator.
“Recycling” outside of glass bottles is essentially non existent.
The answer is to stop producing plastic.
Yes it burns. Just like the plastic bottle do when put into the incinerator.
No one actually cares about what measuring unit they use. They use whatever is in front of them.
Why are you euros so easily offended by measuring units? Seems like an odd thing to be upset about.
5000 ius is a lot. You shouldn’t be taking that much unless it’s doctors orders.
Statements like this make me think you’ve never actually had to rent an apartment/home before or you’d have realized there’s an application process involved before you’re accepted. This is basic knowledge.
Part of the application process generally entails a credit score check. This is also basic knowledge.
You can argue all day long but in the end landlords and creditors look at a poor credit score as a risk to their investment. Nothing more.
Statements like this show me you’ve never owned a business, never been a landlord, or otherwise been in a position where risk management is at play.
There is no grand evil conspiracy here, you just don’t understand risk management and how it relates to credit scores.
because of some score that comes out of a black box
This right here shows me you know virtually nothing about what a credit score is or how it’s calculated.
while also lacking basic information on the process like mentioned above
Ah so you’re making strawman arguments while accusing me of making strawman arguments.
Clearly I am talking to someone that has zero ability to understand basic finances while simultaneously lacking basic communication skills. Obviously I am wasting my time responding to you.
Good bye.
If you’re homeless without a job, why would I take a risk? You’re not thinking about it from the perspective of a creditor.
Do you think someone who pays all their bills but was the victim of identity theft should be unable to access housing?
No. But if I were a creditor why would I take a risk on you just because there is a possibility you’re a victim of identify theft?
If the world was ran with your expectations all businesses would be broke because they would be exploited into oblivion.
For every victim of identify theft out there there’s 10 other people happy to take advantage of the situation and never pay a dime.
You’re purely thinking from the perspective of a victim and clearly don’t see that all of this is a liability. It’s not up to a bank or landlord to provide charity.
Do you invest in anything? Would you invest into a stock, a company, or anything if there is information that clearly indicates a small chance on a return of investment? The answer is no. Instead you’ll invest in something else that is proven to be a good return. It’s simply risk management vs opportunity cost.
You need to think about this a little harder.
The landlords are there to make money and not to offer charity.
They aren’t going to take a risk offering you housing if they feel strongly that they’ll never see a dime from you.
It’s not a hard concept to understand.
I won’t invite you into my house if I think chances are good you’re going to rob me.
It’s a lot easier to control and oppress people when they have the fear of god in them.
