There are facts and there are lies. The fact that innocent people are purposefully being killed in Gaza is just that - a fact. What you can do is argue that that's okay. What you CAN'T do is argue that that isn't happening. F

Its important to note that most of those "irrelevant" countries are only irrelevant because they're perpetually under the thumb of world powers. Hence why they petition the UN. And, hence why empires and somewhat-formally col

You can't get anything through because you're simply incorrect. No, housing is not always cheaper, feel free to do some research. Its highly dependent on your city. If you truly think buying is cheaper in Manhattan then I don&#x27

Right, I'm just telling you that's that's simply not true. And, if you really want to compare apples to apples, you have to compare properties in the same area. Its easy to make housing look cheap when you compare upper Manha

For most places in the US rent is lower than a mortgage. Primarily because: - multi-unit buildings are significantly more efficient in cost per-unit. The cost of a 1500 sqft apt and 1500 sqft home is not the same, the home is going to cost

Not this simple: for early career software engineers, 10% pay raise per year is pretty low. I would expect 20% per year if you move companies. Can't really move companies easily if you're owning a home, ergo, about 10% potential l

No, it's not, not always is my point. We don't count the asset of having the home because we're comparing that part to the stock market investment. Made up numbers: consider: Mortgage: 2,000 Home price: 200,000 Difference fro

Obviously the risk of this is significantly higher than just renting. If you have your first job and therefore little to no liquid cash, and then on top of that you require tenants to make your mortgage, you're in a pretty risky positi

The average home is also going to be in a very suboptimal location. If you compare homes and apartments in the same location, the gap grows even wider. Yes, $4,000 a month in Manhattan is expensive. But $4,000 might be JUST the HOA cost for

The main difference is that you can invest the difference in renting vs owning, and you might come out on top in the long run. It depends on the housing market, the stock market, and where you are.

That's because real estate is notoriously high. Also, if you're buying in NYC you WILL get recurring and increasing monthly costs. That $800/month HOA? Yeah, it's not gonna be $800 in 5 years. Buying is not the same ever

Homes are not low-risk or stable at all - you transfer the risk to your job. If you lose your employment and you have a home, that's a much riskier situation than if you're renting. Because, if you cant find a job in time or in a

Scope creep destroys projects and software. Most software is bad because it does too much, so most of it barely works and of the parts that do kind of work, they don't work together. Writing code is easy. Not writing code is much harde

Other countries have competent language programs, the US is pretty unique in having unbelievably shit education in foreign languages. That is to say, I would not be surprised if, in China, people are quiet fluent in English.

My experience is the apps are missing very fundamental features. Which would be fine... If you could use other clients. But you can't, except for email, kind of. Like, the calendar on mobile doesnt even have a search function. What if
