Man people are so salty about this thing, but my wife and I are really excited for it

Maybe being alone works for some people, but the desire for intimate relationships is a biological drive in human beings
- Comment on Anon is worried about men 3 weeks ago:
That is absolutely not true, it’s just made up pop statistics spread by misanthropes that misses the nuances of the data

Bruh why would you wish something like that on someone

It would be a sausage fest
- Comment on Anon is worried about men 3 weeks ago:
I’ve never understood the appeal of meeting people at bars. If you want to build a relationship with someone, why not do it with someone you already know? Ask out a coworker or classmate or something. Why approach random people in bars purely based on their appearance?

It’s a problem to have so many single, disaffected men out there

I started dating my wife when we were both in high school so I’m lucky that I never had to try to start dating in my 20s. But when I was in high school asking out a girl was as simple as walking up and saying “do you want to go out with me?”
I asked out girls that I KNEW there was a 99% chance they’d say no, but I asked anyways. The worst they ever said was “no”. Nobody ever laughed in my face or told all their friends or spread rumors about me, they just said no thank you and I moved on.
This was like 2009-2013 mind you; I think young people are a lot more cruel now than they were then.

Straight up though the world peaked in the 2007-2010 in terms of culture. Everything has just gotten significantly worse since then and I feel bad for the zoomers and gen alpha who have to grow up in the 2020s

Serious question: What makes Dragon Quest special? I’ve played turn based RPGs from that era and there never really seems to be any distinguishing characteristics between them

- Comment on Before you act, is this right for the company? 1 month ago:
Perhaps the only thing she ever contributed of value to literature was Anthem, which is the archetype for the young adult post-apocalyptic fantasy novel. However, the prose is so strained; every pronoun in “we” or “us” and nobody has names so she names a woman with blonde hair “The Golden One” like she’s some kind of “chosen one” prophet.
Still, I think it would make an excellent basis for other stories if you just let the MC go back to collectivist town and blast the council away with some gun he found in the ruins or something

- Comment on Council housing when? 1 month ago:
Build more homes. A lot of housing regulations tend to make things worse
- Comment on Council housing when? 1 month ago:
The incentive to build new housing is to then turn around and sell that housing, they don’t need an incentive, they need permission.
- Comment on Council housing when? 1 month ago:
No, it’s because of a lack of new supply. Most houses are owned by the people who live in them, not land lords
- Comment on Council housing when? 1 month ago:
The only reason rent would decrease in response to economic conditions would be if they started building tons and tons of houses and supply began to outpace demand. OR, your country were experiencing deflation, which is bad
- Comment on Council housing when? 1 month ago:
You’re wrong, building more housing is THE solution. The vast majority of homes are owned by people who live in them, not landlords. Building more housing is literally the ONLY solution.

Money is like radioactive material. Having a little bit in your house probably is fine but having a mountain of it will make you hole up in a Las Vegas hotel with tissue boxes for shoes
- Comment on Owing your home today is nearly impossible, but even if you did the ever increasing property taxes will bury you 1 month ago:
I argue that we should replace property taxes with income taxes because property taxes lead the disparities in outcomes between different jurisdictions

No, Asian girls are into this shit too

I think it’s the moral issue of having to cash out your own property to afford to live in something you built and already own
