Interesting that you list vice versa. What do you typically use instead?
This one amuses me. It looks all fancy in writing. But if someone says "milk toast" and you don't know what it means, they just sound like an idiot.
That's the fun thing about food (and wine especially). You don't need to have the ingredient present for it to taste like that ingredient. I made chocolate chip cookies once that tasted like bananas, and I most definitely didn't add bananas to them.
I've never seen anyone use "demure" in a serious context. It seems to always be used to convey a mocking tone.
In theory, the value they create is in handling all the home maintenance. Of course, many of them don't do their jobs in practice.
I mean, this is how businesses work in general. If you don't buy their products/services, then they wouldn't be able to continue providing them.
I understand that we're trying to draw attention to exploitative landlords, but if anyone can afford to keep their property regardless of whether or not you pay rent, it's the exploitative ones.
Better for the company doesn't necessarily mean it's worse for you.
But where does the extra money and infrastructure come from to provide everything they need?
What is money in the first place? It represents labour and resources. So when a new person shows up, they themselves provide the money in the form of their labour. They are the money.
Well, if that's how it worked before, they must've changed it. I installed it last night without paying and it never blocked me.
Doesn't sound that weird. More people means more people to serve, so more service jobs are needed.
Another one of the million projects in my backlog that I'll never get to.
There's one major problem with this kind of website that I've been wanting a solution for, and it's that people often only leave reviews when they have an exceptionally bad experience. So when you see a product with lots of negative reviews, does that mean it's actually bad? Or is it just a very popular product, so lots of people will find issues with it? I think the solution to that is some form of review pre-registration. When you buy something that's intended to last a while, inform the review website of that purchase. Then if something goes wrong and you leave a negative review, you can see what percentage of purchases are affected.
