What rabid God could have devised a keeping place for souls so poor as is this flesh; this mawky, worm-bent tabernacle. (he/him)

Don’t really have words. Been in hospital since Sunday. My son is off the ventilator but the house was destroyed.

Ironically the amount of disinformation existing about anything pre 2020 means we’re regressing back into a culture where the fallible memories of people may be the only semi-reliable source of historical truth :/

Hey @Apple can you think of any user experience issues that might arise from displaying ultra realistic raindrops on your screen in the rain?

I don’t believe for a moment that Andy Weir didn’t write Project Hail Mary with both a movie and specifically Ryan Gosling in mind. Protagonist has the same initials and speaks so much in Gosling’s voice, I just don’t buy it. #projecthailmary

Shameless bootlicking imbecile
Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."

Makes 3 valid points then an insane 4th as if it logically follows :|
I don’t like 50 year mortgages as the solution to the housing affordability crisis.
It will ultimately reward the banks, mortgage lenders. and home builders while people pay far more in interest over time and die before they ever pay off their home.
In debt forever, in debt for life!
Instead stop companies and asset managers from buying up single family homes, which has driven the price of homes and forced homebuyers to compete with corporations that turn thousands of homes into permanent rental homes.
Let people with a good rent history qualify for mortgages.
And..
PASS MY BILL - NO CAPITAL GAINS TAXES ON THE SALE OF YOUR PRIMARY HOME.
This will help people keep the equity they have earned owning their home for a very long time and likely allow them to lower the price of their home for sale since they won’t be paying taxes after they sell their home.
It really will help seniors sell their houses and keep their equity, which also in turn gives them money they need and that gets put back in the economy.

This is a ridiculous, paper-thin idea. You can know there’s no monster under your bed and still be afraid of it. Information cannot overcome physiology.
it's weird that at a given age, 45 say, someone can't just write down the compressed/compiled topline notes on everything they've learned about life, and then just hand that to someone at 20, saving them 25 years of lessons. why that doesn't work is a somewhat instructive Q

Imagine a nation where all data is consolidated and mechanisms of control are absolute. Where your electricity, internet, car, etc., are easy to disable. Imagine a leader petty & vainglorious enough to flip a switch based on, I dunno, political affiliation.
That’d sure be scary.
YouTube reviews 5 years ago:
"To conclude, Thing A is better than Thing B in most respects because of X, Y, and Z."
YouTube reviews now:
"To conclude, is Thing A better than Thing B? Let us know your thoughts in the comments!"
Have a point of view ffs

The dilemma we have to face as citizens w/empathy: if we are able to tax the rich equitably how do we ensure the fed government doesn’t act like a typical billionaire - i.e., launder and pocket the wealth?
I don’t inherently trust politicians any more than billionaires, do you?
