I’m not that fortunate, but I recognize it’s better for everyone else anyway.

Home ownership isn’t my retirement plan, I just want to own where I live.

In the end I’m financially fucked, it’s remarkable I got a nice house at a good price anyway.

I can’t hold a generation hostage over my finances. What am I, a boomer?

I, for one, would not mind if my property value stagnated or decreased so that others could have a better life.

But I’m not most people, nor am I in a decision-making capacity.

It’s also worth saying that I live in a single family dwelling on a larger than normal city lot, so I recognize that I am a part of the problem and still wouldn’t want to change the way I live.

Ah yes, the free speech of blocking highways with semi trucks.

From the “It’s okay to run over protestors” crowd. That’s speech to them too.

Article makes it clear this is not Humble Bundle, which was what I had assumed.

She is a woman of color who was a cop and prosecutor when recent events call those first two qualities into question with the latter two.

But this is a time when Democrats, I believe, will say that this is a strong candidate with knowledge of the legal system in a time when we need to strike down right-wing supported terrorism and put the enemies of our nation away.

Let’s see how she campaigns, not that she can lose my vote.

The phrase is Democrats fall in love, Republicans fall in line.

But I don’t think it’s really all that accurate. It’s more like Republicans fall in line, Democrats come to terms with.

And we will.

Also, Biden was not bad at the job. Few had the knowledge of the levers of power to keep shit running with Republican/Sinema/Manchin obstruction.

But he is four years older, and I hope moving to a different candidate works out. Democrats should love a chance to vote for a totally new candidate who keeps most of the same mildly progressive agenda.

But I will say if she doesn’t stick with the plan to reform the Supreme Court I will be extremely disappointed.

To add to this, he had looked up several targets, including Biden. So it was likely as you say, a psychotic break followed by lashing out, rather than a partisan choice.

Law doesn’t work that way but I otherwise love the analogy.

The information takes little to reproduce, and information ‘wants’ to be reproduced.

Completely ludicrous.

They want to sell the product that, by nature, replicates itself, then charge their customers for their product continuing to do the thing it was meant to do, which is propagate itself.

These companies can go propagate themselves.

City of Lost Children, and to a slightly lesser extent, Delicatessen and Amelie, all directed by Jean-Pierre Jeunet.

I’ve yet to see worldbuilding as effortless as it is in the first two movies.

Drop you in blind, explain nothing, get very weird, and tell a fantastic story.

Death God plays the long game.

The Death God always wins.

Actually fewer steps as they wouldn’t care about an appeals process.

Yup! The Botany of Desire. Good read.

Focuses on how apples, potatoes, tulips, and cannabis have all been vastly successful at being spread by humans because we find them useful.

Humanity is a lost cause. Still worth fighting for.

Don’t give anyone ideas.

“Johnny Dangerously” came to mind once.

Once.

Thank you! This last one was really a leap of faith, someone I barely knew at all who needed a place to stay. We’ve all been lucky!

A few times I’ve been there for friends and helped them through rough times just by being someone to talk to.

But I also helped my best friend and roommate by paying most of the bills while he developed his IT/engineering skills. He’s got a good career now but struggled for a few years.

Then I took someone in a couple months ago and she’s staying in my attic now. That’s going well, my wife and I get along great with her. Hopefully it’ll all turn out well.

There were three women who were best friends, took their breaks together, etc. And in the Christmas season they wore matching knit sweaters and would walk down the hall side by side so it would read “Ho! Ho! Ho!”

But one day when I was leaving the break room, they approached… and one was out sick. Before I could stop myself I asked “Where’s the other Ho?”

Might’ve gotten a visit to HR from it if I hadn’t looked so shocked at myself.
