Mom and Pop NYC landlords. I immediately want to balk at this statement but then I remembered two things. Firstly I remember “How to with Jon Wilson”. He made an episode about buying the house from his landlord and that the only way to pay for it was to turn it into a rental property. His landlord was an old lady who wanted to move out.

Secondly, I remember meeting a couple who sold a brownstone before the pandemic, moved to Montclair NJ, and then purchased a home and turned their second floor into an apartment.

Do mom and pop landlords exist? Yes. Are they opportunistic? I don’t think those single family homes should be allowed to be turned into apartments. I’ve seen some pretty heinous abuses of some people essentially turning a closet and a hallway into a “studio”.

Maybe “Mom and Pop” landlords shouldn’t exist.

The answer is Feynman

Every one is else is doing piracy while I’m doing “digital content preservation”. These companies would happily send you a letter telling you to destroy all copies of a book In your house if they had the right to. You must resist.

I’ve felt that the introduction of micro transactions was the beginning of the end of videogames. There is no reason to push boundaries inside of an industry as an artist when it is so heavily commoditized down to your basic attention in seconds.

I think maybe we need a little history to understand how we got here from gaming meaning gambling, to pinball, to “video” gaming, to Electronic Entertainment as a whole to realize where the boundaries are supposed to be.

Deceptive business practices need to be put in check. Consumer protection needs enforcement otherwise there would still be lead in everything you touch.

Who needs artists pushing boundaries when it’s legal to sell heroin.

Came here for this comment 😄

This is a trash take.
