Housing scarcity is more about the cost of the land than the house itself. You're right that that a house can be built for $50k (not by most modern standards, but it can be done). But if you wanted that $50k house in SF bay area, sudde

That's a very broad generalization that covers millions of people.

Whoopi and Joan Rivers are the only two from that list that I actually know what they sound like.

How can someone be personally responsible for an economy with tens of millions of Americans out of work? How can they personally create a job to work at? How can they be personally responsible for generational poverty that meant they couldn

Because you're owning a home as an investment property while not living in it? it doesn't matter if you rent it cheaply, it's one less house available to purchase and there's a finite amount of land and houses.

Police are compelled to do a lot of things they choose not to.

ICEs have a track record of decades of catastrophic failures due to major component failure. Water pumps, timing belts, gasket leaks, fuel contamination, the list goes on. I've only ever seen a few catastrophic Tesla failures and only

All I see here are two percentages and a happy face and a sad face. It doesn't really have anything compelling for me to see. And if I'm more likely to need to get a model 3 serviced for something like a panel gap, I'd gladly

I don't think I'd ever get a plug in hybrid - most of the appeal to electric cars for me in the lack of maintenance and lack of things to break. Adding batteries to a gas car just seems like it's doubling the amount that can

At 30 miles range I think I'd rather just take my ebike instead, which gets 24 miles at 30MPH with zero pedaling if I bring an extra battery.

Sorry if this is a downer, but honestly even if I wanted a new job immediately I think it would take many many months to find one. I'm planning on it taking up to a year. I've been looking at job boards a lot and even for develope

I mean shitty is relative. Compared to manual labor jobs I'm sure my current job would be a blessing. Six figures, sit around all day, job is easy if I had the mental fortitude to force myself to do it, I can get away with only working

I agree that going back to $50k a year is going to blow chunks. But it's going to be very different this time versus when I was straight out of college - I have developer skills I can fall back on in the worst case scenario, I have six

The problem is that I've done that before. I took a year off not working at all, just traveled and fucked around, and then got my current job. Also my partner is great and I have no kids or really any problems at all in home life. I&#x

I see endless Leafs for sale (the older original ones) for only $5k. Granted their batteries are pretty degraded and I'm sure only gets 60 miles of range when blasting AC or heater.

Your core product is something that needs to be popular enough that anyone needs your services though, and it's not going to be popular if it's difficult to learn and navigate.

I'm of the opinion that the only way humanity will travel through space in any significant way will be after the creation of AI which then goes in our stead. Having biological bodies just doesn't work well for long term space trav

It's interesting to see multiple people in their 30s here mentioning the decline in interest of learning. I'm young 30s and I'm literally quitting my job because I can't do it anymore - I can't be bothered to learn

I agree with you but I also think there's a problem with police in unions. I find it unethical, and it's clearly not working, for a government entity approved to inflict violence on a population to organize and ensure the violence

There was a fraudulent and malicious DMCA claim against one of my sites. Heroku without any notice took down ALL of my sites, one of which was a part of my livelihood. They claimed they emailed me with 24 hour notice but that absolutely did

Heroku really screwed me over once and the reps I spoke with were complete and total assholes and acted like I was in the wrong when it was their system that totally dropped the ball. I now advocate against them at my workplaces and I know

I would imagine if I did anything at my workplace that these cops get complaints for, I would get fired instantly, even if the complainant wasn't able to substantiate it.

Maybe I'm making my point poorly. Allowing violent people to post online is fine. Allowing them to post violent content is bad. I don't care who the person is. I care what they post. As long as they're not advocating harm t

I have taken a year off in the past and got my current job after that year off. I think I just need to transition to something else. Software is clearly not working for me. I think I need to try something pretty different for a few years an

Agreed, and I think this is obvious. Facebook probably has a thousand metrics of how long you spend looking at things, what you tend to look at, how likely you are to look at something different. None of this is downloadable.
