Has that ever happened to anyone, ever, or is it just Lemmies having a leftywank again?

"leftywank" lmao I like it

It's just a shitpost, but it's good to hear that the satire is good enough that lots of people can't tell if it's real

There is a lot of shit happening in the US that i cant comprehend.. like, "how do they tolerate this?".. At one point i just stopped questioning

No, it's that it's a common meme but never happens, so people are confirming that it's just a meme. That doesn't mean it's a good or clever meme. If you constantly joke about pooping in sinks, eventually someone will ask if you actually poop in sinks.

None of my victims ever paid a tip when I asked them /s

5 more...

Is that a thing now?

God I hope not

Edit: landlords in this thread being envious

I have the same question. Where is this coming from?

The love for landlords meme, it was a subreddit where people pretended to be particularly shitty landlords

Tip in bitcoins mined on his electricity.

you're not paying for you electricity in the US? Here in Germany you pay an expected amount for heating and electricity and then at the end of the year the landlord has to send you a statement telling you how much was used exactly and either pay you back the difference or you have to pay additionally and that usually results in changes in what the expected amount is in the future

Here in the US sometimes the landlord covers utilities, usually you have to set up your own utilities account. Other times dig a well and build your own power plant v

That sounds a little complicated. I get the energy bill directly from the energy provider and pay what I owe or set up a direct debit with them.

The Landlord is not involved except for clearing the debt before moving in.

in NSW Australia it's even better. you sort your own electricity as a tenant which is fine, but when it comes to water, the landlord pays the fixed fees and tenant pays for usage. except only one bill is issued and it goes to the landlord, who sends a copy of the bill to you with the amount you need to pay.

I think they are looking at tenant billing directly but as of now its this crazy system

Depends on the building usually.

I also pay my energy for myself but the heating usually is per building and not per flat so it's not really easy to split up so if you live in a multi-flat apartment at least the heating is usually paid up front by the landlord who includes part of it in your rent

As long as he pays for the cost of the GPU depreciation.

Yes no rent just tip

When I was young and very broke I would have taken that deal. That was proper groceries for two for a month right there.
