I would be honest about owning the property from the get go. Because if it ever came out that you're the owner (and it most certainly will) that would create a very awkward situation.

In my eyes so long as you are paying for the mortgage/house loan, and not passing on passing on the burden that the tenant won't gain from then your ethically in the clear.

As for what the tenant would pay, I see no reason not to go 50:50 on the bills with the tenant, and potentially getting them contributing to a ground rent (not sure if that's a thing outside of the UK, but it's basically where the owner of an apartment pays the owner of the building to help with upkeep).

You might even consider a situation where you agree a monthly surplus to set aside in the event of repairs that may need to be done, agreeing that any money they put in is returned to them as the end of their tenancy if no such repairs were needed.

At the end of the day if you have a tenant you shouldn't be extracting any value from them for your own benefit, beyond the obvious benefit of sharing living expenses.

If anyone disagrees with me I'd really love to hear it.

The report this article is based on is actually called "On Thin Ice: Disproportionate Responses to Climate Change Protesters in Democratic Countries"

The title of the article is a bit misleading including the term "rich countries", especially as that term is not used once in the article.

In my mind measuring the level of democracy is harder than the wealth of a nation.

I'm proud of Southampton! Only 10 shitheads, and hundreds of anti-racists. Good showing everyone

Is it lazy of me to suggest showing nuked releases as a percentage of the groups total releases?

It's funny you should say that, because my local council are currently struggling to collect bins. They haven't collected to bins for the cafe that's attached to my workplace for about 2 weeks now. It's getting grim.

I used to work at a library, and about 10% of the books had a pleasing aroma, and the other 90% smelled like literal ass.

Anything, or anyone, that speaks positively of 'Coddling of the American Mind' should be approached with extreme scepticism.

An interesting resource for people looking to combat shit like this is the podcast 'If Books Could Kill'.

I don't nessecirily always agree with the hosts' wider takes on things, but their reading of these types of books is pretty spot on.

Cookie clicker. But I only know that because it's the only game supported by this project

That's the kind of csr that demands to have its cheeks chubbed and hair rustled.

From what i understand there's plenty of dentists, but they are all private. The government doesn't maintain dentists as part of the NHS, in effect they subcontract the work out to private dentists.

We do get subsidised dentil treatment, but it's limited in scope, and the way the government has handed out the contracts means there's not enough spaces to go around.

I live in a city, and it took almost 18 months for me to get accepted as an NHS patient...in the next city over! But I was offered private treatment instantly at dentists surgeries that had "no space". The system is a fucking joke.

Hello peoples,

I am looking for tips on how to make my self-hosted setup as safe as possible.

Some background: I started self-hosting some services about a year ago, using an old lenovo thin client. It's plenty powerful for what I'm asking it to do, and it's not too loud. Hardware wise I am not expecting to change things up any time soon.

I am not expecting anyone to take the time to baby me through the process, I will be more than happy with some links to good articles and the like. My main problem is that there's so much information out there, I just don't know where to start or what to trust.

Anyways, thank you for reading.
