Sure, how many people do you think you'd walk up to who are renting who would say that that's their situation?

Why are you talking about the exception not explicitly the problem that this is supposed to be trying to address?

The issues are people who want to purchase cannot while people have more than one.

Are you saying we prioritize those renters over homeowners? Is that better for the economy of the country to have people who are renting as opposed to people who own?

Edit: also how does this work if a country cares about their citizens and absolutely any of their citizens are homeless while someone has extra and empty housing?

It was literally answered right by Google's AI when i googled it if you're not aware the history of queer people in the world enough to know about a big issue that happened in a major global actor's military in 1993 until 2011.

I always felt like there isn't the shaming on the internet for the intellectual laziness like there used to be. It used to be the responsibility of the reader to take a moment and educate themselves, but now we proudly proclaim not only did we not do the bare minimum, but the OP was bad for not spoon feeding us?

There's already so little interaction with the posted content here and you can't even bother to try?

Before I was a ten, my mother was desperate to leave her home state and met a man online/a romantic post, moving states away. Had to be 1997, 1998.

Where i grew up no one had my values or my interests. My spouse of 10+ years i met on a free MMO back in 2010s we both happened to play and got to know each other there, then after a year chatting daily on cam, phone calls, and dms we met up.

So "meeting online" is really vague and can mean a lot of things. It's also gone from being new, some dating apps may help people connect, to being enshittified. Never used it for dating but OK cupid WAS ok at looking for like minded friends for like a second.

But people sharing hobbies and falling for each other probably will always happen even as the apps suck.

I wouldn't have found someone geographically near me with my same morals and hopes and wants out of life. I have never found "my parents and your parents birthed us here and so maybe we should get married" to be enough common ground.

I was guilty of that for a hot minute before getting used to the UI.

The only people in real life i have met who have ever complained about small talk were in the context of "i do not care enough about [the people around me] to pay attention to anything [they] say not directly relevant to me/my hyperfocus" and i just realize they're the "everyone else is an npc" crowd and let them be sulky all the time and hate every social thing they have to do, and I'll have a fine time chatting with the cashier about her day! These are always the same people who say everyone else is boring, not that they have given anyone the time of day.

Tbh if they see others like that im happy to not give them my time and show interest in them either. All social is give and take on every level and those people are always takers. We're where we are now because of people who can't bother to care about the lives of others.

I just checked it out last night, i had a feeling it was a fun project for the actors, regardless of the overall quality, i wanted to see how they enjoyed performing.

To be honest i didn't hate it. It was longer than it should be, sucked itself off while also having awkward theater kid feeling moments. But i didn't find it as disjointed as everyone talked about, if you watch some media that's figurative you'll be fine, it's mostly more or less just a linear narrative following the main characters.

Honestly it wasn't the worse use of my time, for me. My partners watched with me and one left feeling frustrated at the conclusion (no spoilers) and felt their time was wasted, while the other just could not have their attention held, there were a lot of 'i am deep' shots that if you dont enjoy that you just wont.

All that is to say I didn't pay anything for it, so i had less reason to come in with any expectations. Oh, and I never found I liked the Godfather or his other "classics" so i came in expecting an old man's passion project and that's what i got. The actors felt like they had a blast so i couldn't help watching the whole thing for them.

All and all, if you can see it for free and appreciate it for what it was (a fun bad movie) i think it's fine. If anything i found the ending to be a bit saccharin for a movie that tried to be dark? Some of the parts wrapped up ridiculously im still kind of stunned.

Who needs to fix things from the ground up when you can just throw in more and more code! You can just fix it with more code!

I think the issue people arguing with you that you don't seem to get is that not everyone does want it to stop.

You seem blind to that reality that there is a large portion who arent even looking or talking that people are dying.

Who think what is going on and continuing is fine, or even good or right. And those people are in the positions to even try to limit any of it, and wont.

You're not arguing honestly if you really claim the reason no one in power speaks against it is because it's too hard? That seems really unlikely doesn't it? "It's difficult and we're looking at legal options" and "we will continue to arm and defend them" are wholly different.

It isn't, but when I peeked it (looking for an instance) felt particularly hostile in general. My reading here about the drama makes me feel like them leaving did everyone a favor.

I tried to find the data, it looks like the financial times evaluated data from August 2023 and made that chart? This is apparently the survey source with a lazy google: https://wwwn.cdc.gov/nchs/nhanes/continuousnhanes/default.aspx?Cycle=2021-2023 cause i was curious too

Do you typical get defensive when you make mistakes and people correct you or do you find this particularly hard not to feel like your ego was attacked?

The people here do like to be snarky, but welcome to the internet? Especially when someone makes themselves an amazing target by sulking or pouting. Kids always love to pick on the kid with no emotional regulation, and humans dont change much from childhood.

Lemmy is a little hard to understand at first and I am sure plenty of people get embarrassed, but do you ever find you catch a lot of flies with that vinegar or does it just make you feel better to act out?

She was a lot of getting used to. Luckily she was old when I got her so she eats twice a day, pottys three or four times, and sleeps the rest of the day away.

Still, a lot when two litter boxes and an autofeeder is all my cat needs! Weirdest part is the dog likes to lick and has actually had a few hairballs?? And my cat doesn't?? 😂
