As a homeowner - I 100% agree with this.

I absolutely hate that I paid as much as I did simply because the generation before mine decided to turn the whole concept of home ownership into a financial investment vehicle.

I hate how it changes the thought processes around the decisions I make in regards to my home.

I hate how it impacts the relationships with my neighbors and how it morphs the very conversations we have. That it has drastically changed the type of people who would otherwise have wanted to live in the community and be a part of it instead of just trying to ride the wave investment dollars.

I hate that it means my own children, once grown, will likely be unable to afford to live in this neighborhood - even if they rent. And I hate that it’s going to become their problem too.

For hand tools, yes. For my silverware, absolutely not no way in hell.

Aesthetics - #5 is the obvious choice Handling/ grip comfort - #5 wins again Scooping/horizontal food retention - #5 with its slight bowl-shaped head Tine shape - #2 wins out for sheer uniformity

Correct. If anything, we’ve been too conservative with the word in the past decade or so. They’re openly talking about shipping off undesirables to gulags, but we’re supposed to tone down our rhetoric and not call them fascists.

It’s funny because I 100% agree with you both.

Bummer

I fully acknowledge your point and don’t disagree. On the other hand, who ever said we have to treat Nazis reasonably?

Yeah, but then he came back from the dead, became an instant celebrity, struck it rich from crypto, and had like 4 yachts for each of his girlfriends. Don’t you read the bibble?

How do you know?

I read this article and I know it’s written in English, but I’ve accepted defeat in trying to understand it.

I write code for a living and I’m doing my best to ignore the feelings of inadequacy I’m currently experiencing.

Not to mention demolition requires permitting. Municipalities don’t just hand you a permit just because you asked. If you wanted to demolish a perfectly good house, they’d be asking questions.

This is what makes Musk’s B-line towards Nazi stardom so strange to me. Like, did he think Nazis were suddenly going to start buying electric cars? They literally put nuts on their trucks right next to their bumper stickers using homosexual slurs to describe electric vehicles, all while “rolling coal” in front of every Tesla they see on the road.

These are the people you want to market to?
And at the expense of your existing market?

Trump media stock was fun to watch too up until he won. I mean it’s still going to crash and burn, but the election bought him some time.

No no no - only paywalled, ad-supported, doomsday prep and gold bullion-slinging, enshittified news outlets are “free press”. Honestly, if you’re not creating value for shareholders, can you even consider yourself a journalist?

I heard recently that the word “meritocracy” was originally coined to mean the opposite of how you’re using it. As a sort of ironic codeword where there shouldn’t have to be a word because that’s how it is supposed to work. As in - when the CEO’s son gets a VP job right out of high school, chalk it up to “meritocracy”.

Not disagreeing with your sentiment, I just thought that was interesting. Enjoy your day!

It’s possible you’ll read articles critical of those decisions written by the WSJ. They’re likely to be written in such a way as to not criticize Trump directly, but the message will likely be clear: government and taxes=bad.
