Paying for a roof isn’t work. It’s not producing anything, transforming anything, or doing labor, and it takes no time. It takes 30 seconds to cut a check. And they’re using money I and other renters have paid them because we can’t afford a house, despite very much wanting to, because of how expensive housing is due to landlords buying up all the properties lol. You can tell it’s not a real job because a lot of landlords have full time other jobs. Or it’s why being a landlord is also a great way to get money for old people who can’t work and maybe haven’t saved for retirement nor have a pension.
I 100% agree that the problem is that housing is an investment. Real estate investors should not be buying homes to make a profit at the expense of available housing. I haven’t heard how the situation is in Germany, but that’s good. I heard Tokyo also does it right, where housing depreciates like a car, because they have so much.
My landlord doesn’t do that, they have a property manager that does that stuff. Ive never even seen my landlord. If the landlord does it, then they are not doing landlording, they are being a property manager and landlord, but they don’t necessarily have to, and one doesn’t require being the other.
Tbh not sure I would want that. I think each type of content out there deserves it’s own best way to interact with it. It feels like everything would be half-assed instead of one type of site down full ass.
What I’ve learned from this thread as someone getting into horror again is that I really need to watch Hereditary and the original Candyman. Might just bookmark this for all the great recommendations. Only hard part is that my partner isn’t into horror so it’s hard to watch them.
I guess the big thing it does is make Biden and his administration look better and like they are doing something when they really aren’t. It gives people something to point to when protestors and activists ask for real change, and it dissipates energy from the movement. In that way, it would honestly be better if they did nothing than bad faith peace talks.
Haha sorry I’ll save your link to read later
Then why would Russia attack Ukraine? Especially since they had already agreed to let go of their nukes and not join NATO. Just let them be then.
That’s only because Russia has already privatized and sold off all of its national assets to oligarchs after the fall of the USSR.
So… Are they going to publish those voting tallies publically yet? What’s taking the CNE so long on that?
Holy shit what a scary and sad story. I thought it was going to end with a police raid or something, but his mom just paid the random by selling their house 😭 Of course the police suck in every country, too.
Can I ask which subreddit or is it private? I know which communities I miss but I’m curious what communities we need to cultivate for others.
They want to force people to use the app so they can steal their data easier. That’s my guess lol.
That’s the “enshittification” guy, right?
This is unrelated, but this is the first time I’ve seen a moving thumbnail in Lemmy and it’s pretty cool.
That’s not really how it works, though. For example, who sold I vote for to stop the support for Israel? No one. Or who would I have voted for to stop the war in Iraq and Afghanistan in 2008? No one. There are lots of things a majority of people favor but aren’t on the ballot because the rich determines what issues we can vote on and which ones we can’t.
We have the pretenses of a democracy, but it is scaffolded by money and private interests.
There was a whole industry propped up by the military, church, and schools to kill them and take their land, remove their culture, take away their religion, enslave them, and constantly push them away. It was very much planned.
See, I wasn’t really sure, but I think this thread has helped convince me that it’s probably okay. I was for sex work before, but then I had heard that countries with more lax sex work laws had more human trafficking. But that might just be a result of work in our moder capitalist hellscape. Part of me thinks sex work should be illegal until capitalist is abolished, but part of that is probably just some ingrained puritan attitudes of sex and personal philosophy about its intimacy. It doesn’t mean the state should ban people from selling it and it doesn’t mean I have to partake if it’s legal.
I’ll probably keep reading this thread to evolve my attitudes on the subject more, but thanks everyone for the interesting comments on a subject I don’t think about much (sex work… Sex itself I think about all the time lol).
Wrote a couple famous books about Clean Code, Architecture, Test Driven Development, OOP, and Agile.
Is there a data hoarding community on Lemmy or is this basically it?
