also, that's a fuckin' first. I saw someone ask 'why are your bills more important than your landlord's? why should they discount rent right now?' so, I answered them very plainly, and... got them to agree with me.

sometimes people just need this shit explained to them in plain english.

@zebratron2084 I really wish folks understood how... actually easy it is to convince people if you present them with a cogent argument and don't come at them heated. People WANT to feel 'right'; if you can sound more right than the opposition, they'll join just to feel smart.
