I’m just as critical of Lemmy as I was of Reddit.
Lemmy is a very left leaning echo chamber and a lot of people dont want to hear counterpoints to their soap-box rantings.
I do love Lemmy, but theres a decent percentage of fucking whackadoodles on here too. Also I’m not installing Linux, stop asking.
For anyone who wants to watch a good movie and get some insight into your ego being your worst enemy should watch the Guy Ritchie movie “Revolver”. Its one of my favorites.
Take it from a 40yo man who recently pushed himself into borderline eating disorder territory chasing fitness goals… yeah dont take it to addiction territory.
Half Life 2. They gave it to me for free.
Finished it and got Necromunda: Hired Gun for $13.
One of the key overlooked benefits of UBI is that it also encourages people to retire, move out of the workforce or drop back to part time sooner. Freeing up jobs for people to move into.
Once the house is paid off and the kids have moved out, etc. The “I dont NEED to do this” is real.
Im advocating for pushing the wealth from the top down. Make it financially non viable to own hundreds of houses, make it seriously sub optimal to own dozens over the long term.
A lot of new development is driven by investors, to build a new house you need to live somewhere while its built, and pay for the land and pay for the build in stages as it goes. That pretty much requires you to be able to cover two mortgages at once. Most investors I’ve met are buying off the plan when its a block of dirt or an unleveled paddock and consequently getting it CHEAP. They pay say $500k for a house that will sell for $800k when its finished because average working people cant cover the difference. But the house gets built and adds more supply to the system.
If you destroy property investing as a market, you will seriously hamstring new development and make the problem worse. You need to make owning thousands over the long term nonviable but make investing and adding to the supply be the money maker.
First 5 investment properties should carry a 1% property income tax that is directly funneled into a housing development program, then a 5% property income tax on the next 5, 10% on the next 10…
Realestate is the safest and highest yield investment working people can make to build generational wealth. Dont cut the throat of the guy who can afford a brand new Audi to spite the guy who has to decide between wether his driver fetches the Rolls or the Bentley.
People should be able to aspire to being rich, just not filthy rich.
Im building the Planet Express building from Futurama.
Double wrong, GW just hasnt had the time to write enough lore about them for us to understand just how they are absolute assholes.
Almost certainly heresy, even if the Inquisition was somehow a faction it would still probably be heresy.
Thats only a problem if he picks the wrong faction.
I bet, great story man. Hey I’ll be right back I just need to go grab a drink, catch you in a second…
Several times I used my precious break to call businesses ask for the boss, get their name then inform the boss (fraudulently) that I was the manager of the store and one of their staff just abused my staff and until they returned and apologised anyone from that business was not welcome in the store in their work uniform and will be refused service.
Was always funny.
You must be so fucking fun at parties.
Good its not just me.
Thank god my smart phone can spell sanctimonious for me, its made my life so much easier.
I pulled a 36 hour straight shift (using some shenanigans involving a labor hire company who were in on it) when working security. I had a 12 hr shift 6am till 6pm. On NYE and on NYD well NOBODY wanted to work the night shift on New Years Eve so the boss of the labor hire company took the job and farmed it to me knowing I didnt have to leave site or travel. $50 an hour for 36 straight hours most of which was laptop gaming wasnt bad.
Yeah the opening of CP2077 is a bit of a slog. I’m glad my buddy warned me.
I use performance enhancing drugs, my nutrition is not your nutrition.
I track my macros, calories and micronutrients. I weigh EVERYTHING. A significant portion of my diet could be called “ultra-processed”, Most of the fat I eat is saturated. I also get blood tests every 3 months, and regularly check my blood pressure (120/80).
My diet would make most people go insane, but I understand nutritio and I’m chasing a goal.
Scoop the yolks make a deviled egg mixture with a touch of cream cheese and a GOOD hot sauce.
Thank me later.
