Not sure where you live but in America stop signs are everywhere. You can't go anywhere without hitting multiple.
In my experience most people don't even know what a zip or rar is or how to extract them.
Hide your shame? Not sure who this appeals to.
You cannot reason someone out of a position that they did not reason themselves into. Most of the time they even think they are being logical and reasoned their way into their beliefs, but because they refuse to rectify their cognitive dissonance, they are stuck with contradictory beliefs which they haven't accepted are incompatible.
This is a constant cycle.

It didn't used to be that bad. I moved in at $700/month back in 2015 or so and now its going to be up to about $1500. It used to raise $50 each renewal which was reasonable but then covid absolutely skyrocketed the prices of everything.
Moving may be the only option long term, but I'm not ready yet so I was wondering if people had techniques for dealing with these companies so that you aren't just instantly dismissed.
How is it these huge companies fail to realize that they had a killer year due to covid putting more people online? You aren't going to match it no matter what.
We shouldn't have a system that you have to submit your ID at all.
Its all just a scam I'm afraid. There's no real benefit to any of these ideas.
