• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What options does one have when they reach the end of a car lease but cannot find a good deal at the time of it's end?⁩ ⁨⁨18⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  Don't lease cars if you can't afford it. Part of that is being able to afford this uncertainty.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I want a name for this⁩ ⁨⁨19⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  As an ADHD person, sight reading is actually my shitty superpower. I don't understand it, but my difficulty is just starting the book. But once I'm in it's pure hyper focus.

  Incredible Communist Party

  I bet mine tastes like your ass

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it possible to install my own OS on a "smart" TV? Is that a thing?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah I use a GoogleTV and don't let the set itself connect to the internet. I held onto an HTPC as long as I could but it just got too troublesome to coax high quality streams out of it after a while.

  They mean boring

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Guerrilla Women⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  You leave my mother out of this

  You leave my mom out of this

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tweety. I like stretching⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Wait is this like a retrospective or more aspirational?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is "Red Storm Rising" by Tom Clancy considered a good book?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, you have pretty much perfectly described why most Tom Clancy books have pretty niche appeal. The literary value is all in the wall researched military need stuff, and weirdly plausible hypothetical geopolitics

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Did something about mass produced ice cream change like 10 years ago?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes on both accounts. It is frozen whipped topping. It had enough air to hold its shape when it melts.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Premium Ads⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I think what you meant to say is "touch grass."

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are the next steps for Americans to help prevent the worsening of genocide in Palestine?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Sabotage Democratic outreach and voter engagement efforts right?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨For my fellow Americans, when is enough enough?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean what you saw last night is exactly why your revolutionary movement will be snuffed out. If the fascist has that kind of popular support, there is no revolution, only martyrdom. Maybe civil war.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Houses in my area increases 82% in just 4 years⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Right but you then control the appreciation on a much larger asset. In terms of pure net worth and net present value, trading up is a huge gain even if it doesn't generate more short term liquidity.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Houses in my area increases 82% in just 4 years⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  No rich person is living in a 325k ranch house.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Houses in my area increases 82% in just 4 years⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Not that this is "ok" but it's why "buy whatever you can as soon as you can" is good advice. If you'd put whatever you had into a shitty condo four years ago, and kept saving at the same rate, you'd likely be in good position to trade up soon.

  I see a lot of people I know end up in the same position because they've been waiting for either the exact right circumstances or for prices to "crash." All the people i know who started with anything they could afford now have a huge amount of equity in nice homes. The difference is real and primarily about timing more than income or location.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah there is something else going here. No domestic markets are actually down in this interval. OP must have bought some individual stocks.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You have 8 seconds.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  For a small moment in time my dick and my brain will have separable frames of reference

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You have 8 seconds.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Your mom was right

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bad news⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That's not very upsetting

  No Stairway!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Support local bands⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, have you tried just having the good kind of cat?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Support local bands⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This is how I met my first wife.

  I wish I aspired to die in a horrific and painful way half as much as styro

  Look, the only thing in the world which hasn't been corrupted by capitalism is OP's brain, which happens to be in a jar, on a shelf, owned by an evil demon, who lives in a hole at the bottom of the sea. Just be thankful that the capitalists have not figured out how to harness this phenomenological power yet.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨...⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The entire thing is an edgy strawman. Honest practitioners obviously take seriously the need to understand and articulate the limits of empiricism, and are hostile towards those who abuse the public trust of scientific authority. It would honestlt be great if we could do the same with our critiques of capitalism.
