I’m sorry for anybody living in the US right now. The only hope is that it will get better, in the far future, when all those billionaires will have transported themselves to Mars. Then you may find some peace, I guess.

There’s things that I like about myself that I cannot put into words; it’s more a feeling.

Why are politicians doing nothing for first time home buyers?

Why aren’t universally some laws against home flipping and people owning more than one residential property? I think the right of having a roof over your head is a basic human right and every person out there deserves to have a decent home and not be forced to live on the street.

Because that would be socialism, obviously!

Competition is good!

I wonder when AI “competition” will crush the free market.

yeah but you could do that with one big company just as well. that has nothing to do with them splitting up

I’m pretty sure that it would be practically impossible to prove in practice that it’s fraud and illegal.

what if a company decides to split up into 100 smaller companies to avoid taxation?

shoes

they lasted 3 years, which is about 12x longer than i would have guessed.

“si” (italian yes) too much:

If you say si too much, you become a sisi.

oh okay, maybe the grass was just a gift to you, who knows?

Animals sometimes have very weird, individual behavior. You can’t just make any general rule what this specific bird was doing to you. Probably it wanted to communicate with you, tell you something. Maybe you should have observed it a bit, maybe it would have had something to show you, like maybe in the bush that it was coming from.

I guess a part is that science seems to meticulously avoid the question “why do we live”, in a non-technical way, in a way that actually gives people a sense of meaning.

That and mental inertia, i.e. some things change very slowly.

wearing makeup or earrings

turns out i just don’t like that

“you’re pretty”
