Where do you buy from?

Another guy in this thread linked an amazing resource for learning:

Evolution doesn’t care what happens to you after reproduction because you’ve already passed on your genes at that point

That’s where time dilation will kick in

You’ve never been to rural Japan if you think they primarily use public transport.

Hell, even in the outskirts of Tokyo most people have cars and drive.

That said tho, there’s no excuse for urban city centers to not be walkable.

Just now. I was reading this thread and grinning at other people’s misfortune so my wife decided I should join them and bit me 😵

Nah CEOs will mandate RTO for workers while they themselves stay remote.

Eeeeeeeyup!

I agree with your last sentiment too. Warren Buffett said the memories he made in his house are worth way more than the money he lost by not investing it. We’re thinking of buying for the same reason.

Alternatively, go to the southern hemisphere. It’s really nice and warm in Australia right now.

…ish. My wife and I just did this calculation and (at least in America) property taxes throw a wrench into it.

A decent rental home in Texas costs about $2650 per month. A similar house costs about $460k to buy, and run about $1000/mo in taxes. So you’ll only save about $1650 per month.

Even putting that 460k into a bank account at 4.5% interest will give you $1725/mo, let alone stocks, index funds, and all the other investments you could be doing that will out-perform real estate.

Of course, that doesn’t disprove your point about poverty since you need to have the money to buy/invest. But it’s just a reminder that houses are not the wealth builder that a lot of people imagine them to be.

Always research and determine the best option for your financial situation. Gate-keeping financial literacy is another tool the wealthy use to keep people in poverty.

Aw man, I love how you just said “extended cut”. It took me a looooong time to realize it’s a parody.

Ka…booom!

You can use yelp for reviews. IIRC Apple maps reviews go to Yelp by default so there’s a decent amount of reviews for most places.

Replace insta with Lemmy and I’m livin’ the life

And have very rich parents

Because chrome doesn’t make any money

What was the original post?

It may be fine for code, because malformed code won’t compile/run.

It’s extremely bad for image generators, where subtle inconsistencies that people don’t notice will amplify.

Evidently, they do
