  Mentioning @Diddlydee@feddit.uk here to address you both in your similar corrections rather than duplicate my reply: I stand corrected.

  I see that I had misconstrued my personal misgivings with the penalties of failing to pay with a lack of legal ownership.

  It still feels off, precarious, to describe it as ownership to me, but I recognize what you’re both saying regarding the legal standing of it all.

  hello frog, that is sad to hear, have you tried calling doompost?

  Own as in mortgages/loans paid off, I take it? That’s the slight distinction I’m thinking of with expensive items that typically can’t be bought outright. It’s not wholly owned until mortgage/loan is paid off, which you kinda nod towards with your last sentence.

  In the vein of houses and cars, yeah. I should get in a better habit of elaborating on ambiguous terms in the body, only haven’t as I’ve mixed experience with people skipping over those.

  How does one account for maintenance costs with this view? Even barring taxes, you may have to pay for upkeep either in materials or contracting out services to assist in maintenance.

  Thanks for this info! I was unaware of this given how rarely it’s mentioned.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why isn't free stuff (public domain/noncommercial) discussed as much as paid stuff?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  That addresses a slightly different question. Supposing people know of the free stuff, why isn’t it discussed more?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why isn't free stuff (public domain/noncommercial) discussed as much as paid stuff?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Good points! Although I feel like I may be out of the loop on some of the discussion/mention of archive.org stuff, which likely speaks to me being out of it more broadly regarding discussions of other related materials.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why isn't free stuff (public domain/noncommercial) discussed as much as paid stuff?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Kind of surprised there aren’t more comments along these lines. This was floating around the back of my head as much as some of the other responses.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there another term for crafted, interactive activities besides games/video games?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That disconnect in expectations is definitely what I had in mind in asking this, yeah. One hears game, thinks fun, it doesn’t fit their idea of fun, and the game unintentionally disappoints in the process.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there another term for crafted, interactive activities besides games/video games?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Or like some exhibits in a museum, but also media like Flower. It’s called a video game, but I feel like that’s for lack of a better term more than anything. It’s lovely whatever you may call it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there another term for crafted, interactive activities besides games/video games?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I knew I forgot something, sorry…I’m asking in terms of crafted, interactive activities that aren’t necessarily aiming to be fun. More like interesting and thought-provoking.

  yeah, but you gave me an even better idea: fake eggs filled with even more dampening material! it would be eggstravagant!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do you voice chat without bothering roommates?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  My question is coming more from the perspective of, “i think i’d like to try voice chatting but i really don’t want to be that roommate someone wants to strangle”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do you voice chat without bothering roommates?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  but something as simple and cheap as paper egg cartons on your walls will greatly reduce how much sound gets through.

  Hadn’t come across this before, thanks!

  silly follow-up

  would keeping and rotating the eggs improve the sound dampening?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do you voice chat without bothering roommates?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Get a cruise ship horn (make sure it’s rated for 140-150 decibels) and play it for the entirety of the call.

  Would “TRAIN SOUNDS (true volume, horn every 5 minutes) 24-HOUR MIX” also work?

  Wouldn’t it be easier for everyone to instead not add such systems? After all, don’t many go for the simple logic of bigger number is better instead of doing the math?

  Thanks for the extensive response! I appreciate the perspective, particularly the nuances on peer review, and the grounded conclusion.
