- Comment on How would a wealth tax affect real estate rentals? 2 days ago:
My concern was that not everybody can afford to buy a house, but back in the day people on a receptionist income could buy a house, so if we go back to those days, house ownership would rise again. And as others made me realise, the stuff standing empty for investment would be sold to be used again and outsized homes could be sold to be repurposed as social housing or jousing outright.

Good point! Yes, larger estates could be sold to be used for housing multiple people or indeed for building new housing. Thank you

Well, there is a lack of houses for rent at the moment. Aaand, while writing that, I remembered that there are lot of things standing empty because they are for investment! If those were forced to be sold, that would add more housing stock on the market.
Thanks for the comment.

The idea is to make the wealthy sell some of their assets. Thus driving the price of those assets down. If people horde fewer houses, the market of buyers shrinks and prices fall.
But who will they be selling to? I imagine it will be people who actually want to live in their homes, not just rent them out. Wouldn't that reduce the number of available homes people can rent?

We should all be reporting these racist fucks and their reviews too.

I don't know how to make Valve aware of the blatant racism going on. Maybe they only look at twitter and reddit and there needs to be a "shitstorm" about the harassment the devs are facing. It's despicable how it just continues to happen and there doesn't seem to be a "account banned for improper conduct" on most of those fasches.

Ross is right, if you don't propose an alternative and don't actually try to do anything to bring that alternative to the public, why don't you just fuck off?

- Comment on Civil servants cannot wear ‘fetish gear’ to work, minister confirms 1 year ago:
Here's an archive of the page.
Ms Tweedale, 58, is said to wear low-cut black corsets, fishnet tights with high heels and a gothic choker with a pentagram when she attends the office.
She's trans and her attire led to a minister stating that kind of "fetish gear" cannot be worn at work. Others working with her say it's highly inappropriate and unprofessional. That's the gist of it.

Don't make me laugh. You seriously think after buying an ad firm that "privacy preserving attribution" is not a euphemism? And I'm not the only one that sees it that way:
Why don't you stop being to blue-eyed? Mozilla isn't the privacy preserving browser. Hasn't for a long time. Its major reason for existence is to be a functional "alternative" to Chrome that isn't built on top of it.
- Comment on What a week 1 year ago:
Mozilla also introduced opt-out tracking in their browser. Get LibreWolf folks..
