The thing about wrestling in the mud with a pig is that the pig likes it.

Pig tends to not like it as much if the end result is you cook some bacon.

Also, the thing about not wrestling in the mud with a pig is, you’re bitch-made.

This is a band-aid that does nothing to fix the problem. This kind of “solution” was implemented in my country as well. The direct result was an increase in housing prices across the board.

The problem isn’t that people are lacking the money for a downpayment. The problem is that volatility in the job market combined with ever increasing prices means you can’t commit to buy a place of your own and pay it for the next 30 years, because the first time you lose your job you’ll have lost all progress towards owning your home.

The fix you want is government-built housing. Make a neighborhood with government money. Sell the apartment for 1/3 of the price if the buyer is a teacher/fireman/doctor/other high-demand jobs in governmental employ. That way you fill the positions, the housing prices stop going up, and young people get to securely purchase a house before they’re 50.

But of course, that’s not the end-goal, is it? No the objective is to make more money for those who already own all the land and houses. And there’s no need to spend time thinking about it, just make some fucking vouchers. We all know who’ll end up cashing them in.

So how does this megathread work, do we all pitch in and buy a shooter or?

Hell, he may name 5 if he guns down 5 of the current ones. Crime doesn’t matter when you’re the president, and the next 5 you name can agree with you. Or they can also be gunned down.

Yo just make the + include straight and you’ll get a pretty big increase in numbers

Why doesn’t Biden just shoot this fuck? I thought presidents can’t be charged for crimes they commit while in office.

That’s funny, “gotta finish the problem” is the same argument I have for making use of the guillotine in American politics, beginning with one orange cunt in particular.

"We Need to Start Befriending Neo Nazis.” (Mandel is Jewish.)

“Not nuking these fucking animals is the only restraint I expect and that’s only because the cloud would hurt Israelis,” she’s written about Palestinians.

Oh hey, looks like you already started making those friends. What a worthless cunt.

First time I ever seriously used Linux was for work, back when I was a developer. You’d have to pay me to use it again. I like gaming, but I don’t like wasting my time troubleshooting games. Nor do I enjoy debugging random crashes/black screens in random drivers. Sure, it’s fun, but if I’m gonna work for it, someone somewhere better be signing my overtime slip. Cause I get a few hours free per day, and I’d rather not deal with sigsegv anymore if I can help it.

Not to mention sound. My job as dev included using ALSA for some use cases. I don’t know if you ever had the misfortune to need to do that or how it went for you, but if I ever need to touch that shit again I will scalp Torvalds with a goddamn headphone jack.

I installed windows 11 when I bought my last PC. I figured I’d give it a shot, see if it’s as bad as all my dev friends say it is. You know how many drivers I’ve had to fix to make my games work? Zero. You know how many hours I spent debugging weird issues? Also zero.

There’s a reason windows has a price tag. And part of that reason is that it works better than free stuff. I’m a believer in FOSS, but if you’re a craftsman and you can’t hammer a nail without needing to adjust your hammer every few swings, you should find a hammer that’s not made out of silly putty and dreams.
