I don’t know if this applies in the US but multiple people can take out a mortgage against the same property. If you have 3/4 trustworthy friends then you can pool your money to buy a place. It’s complicated but better to invest your money in your own property than to line the pockets of cunt landlords and letting agents.

I was you until about 3 months ago when I discovered Microsoft sells cloud services to the IDF. Political motivations aside, I would encourage you to try out a KDE plasma linux distro. It’s laid out pretty much exactly the same as windows 10 and bazzite worked for me out of the box even with a relatively rare gaming laptop build.

The original story was written before the Internet and so before hackers even existed. One of Stephen King’s cocaine fever dreams iirc.

Petite brunette women with green eyes have always been my thing. I realised recently that is entirely due to Karen Allen.

What gets me is an Americanism that seems to have only taken hold in the last 10 years or so - Normalcy. Apparently it’s been in use since 1920 but I’m sure it’s only recently become ubiquitous in the US. The word is NORMALITY my American friends. Normalcy is a horrible Frankenstien word which sounds and looks horrible written. =p

- Comment on The Telegraph has deleted the seemingly made-up article 2 months ago:
My logic? Even if the income figure is gross and not nett, they are part of the top 0.5% earners in the UK. So… Logically… They can be considered rich by the 99.5% of the population who earn less. They are almost certainly millionaires. Their kids go to public school. They take 5 holidays a year FFS, how many people do you know who can afford that? If you don’t consider that being rich then you are either richer than that, being a troll or deluded.

Wtf are you talking about? You must be a billionaire.
This family earns more than the value of my house in a year.
If they carry on earning this and work for 30 years they will have amassed a fortune of £10m.
It also puts the family in the top 0.5% of earners in the country.
I think that makes them fairly rich.

Meh. I like Anya Taylor-Joy in most things but she doesn’t make a convincing action hero. Too skinny and small. She’s supposed to be going hand-to-hand with bulky dudes 2/3 times her size? No.
