And you can equate religions and cults because the only difference between the two is time.

There is more difference than time. Cults require a charismatic, authoritarian leader, religions do not. One can be religious and autonomous in practice.

Religions can be open source and decentralised, cults cannot.

The business logs how often you use the game. They use it as a metric of engagement. If everyone breaks their streak, their marketing department has a melt down.

Nah, you're right to have pointed it out, especially because of the circumstances. No distress here. ☮

Whoops, genuinely didn't mean to.

Source? I want to read that story and have a laugh.

Edit: I couldn't find a case where the USSS took on trespassers. I can only find preventative measures.

the owner has to hire someone to clean it off and that comes from my rent.

Rent has little to do with maintenance. If it did, it would mean that higher rent lead to more maintenance. This is not the case. Landlords are incentivised to maximise margins (rent minus expenses). If they don't have to pay for maintenance while getting a certain rent level, then they will opt for not maintaining.

Rent level is the maximum level that landlords will set to drain from their tenants. It has little to do with the maintenance or condition of the residence. There are plenty of examples that show poor housing standards being expensive.

The solution: Land Value Tax

Fellas, is it gay to want a woman that wants you?

Idk what it is about masculinity that loves submissive women

That's insecure masculinity. Men who are secure don't need a woman to be submissive. She will be with him by her own volition because she feels safe with him.

Follow the money.

Therapy is maintenance (at the very least). If you haven't ever been to therapy, you're driving around without an oil change.

What Russia and every other country on earth now knows is that you cannot trust the United States if you disagree with them

If any country pays attention to US foreign policy, they've known this for decades.
