Meanwhile I spent time in highschool trying to avoid Blink. They hadn’t added the 182 yet. Mark’s sister was in my AP art class. They weren’t even the best band in our school.

I’m in my highschool biology class. Teacher† “We have a guest. Hey you. What should we call you?” Guest mouthing “Out there in the cold” Teacher “as per usual we will now ask questions to figure out who they are.” Me “so how long have you been a Pink Floyd fan?” Guest, pointing at mid back “since my hair was this long” Class <confused murmurs>
After every one asks him their questions one person asked me how I knew they were a Pink Floyd fan. I was the only person to recognize what he mouthed.
Things got really weird after that. A day later I went to a yogo class with my girlfriend. The class had a special guest host. It was the same guy. Despite my facial blindness I knew it was him because he had eyes that didn’t look in the same direction.
† she eventually became state Teacher of the Year and one of the first people in America to get married

She is his beard. But beyond that I don’t know what else is going on here.

It probably didn’t help that I was a 17-year-old that looked like I was in my late twenties.

I had the job shelving books. I’d show up in a button-up shirt and slacks and I could shove all day with no problem at all. No one would bother me. I’d show up in ripped jeans, a Metallica t-shirt, and 4 years since my last haircut and people would ask me for help every moment of the day. Libraries are weird.

To me, the difference between a person who takes pictures and a photographer is that Ansel Adams might spend a week waiting for exactly the right lighting conditions before taking a single picture of a setting. There’s a whole lot of planning we don’t see.

Replace the white closet frame and doors with natural wood. Get rid of that skull. Replace it with a taxidermy black bear. Hang a sword above the closet doors. A really goofy looking one from the mall. Unmake the bed. Throw some Cheetos on the floor.

Flock cameras also create crime. The company will say things like they have measures to prevent abuse but they don’t. For handling a abuse after it happens. And abuse is a euphemism for crime like stalking.

My thing was that his clothing being a dead match for the color of Kyra’s uniform. And unless she is standing next to Quark, Nog, early Jake or someone like that she is relatively tiny compared to just about anyone else in the show.
I thought he was regular sized and the other guy was a giant. Just like when Kyra stands next to Worf.

It’s been my experience that saying out loud. The things that everyone says they know keeps everyone realistic and makes it so they can’t live in denial.
If you suggest a solution and the solution has a problem, the problem needs to be stated. Otherwise, people fixate on that solution and ignore the problem and things get worse instead of better.
If you want some solutions then I recommend a few. Corporate ownership of residential units needs to be banned or strongly limited to the number of units they can own . Square footage requirements need to be lowered. People with enough property should be able to build rental units in the back.
Parking requirements need to be reduced in urban areas.
Mass transit needs to become a thing everywhere. I literally live in a city with no public transportation.
I would definitely tax secondary+ homes at a higher rate, but I don’t know how to solve the problem of rich people keeping poor people out other than mandating low-cost housing in those same exact neighborhoods. Which causes other problems like people deciding not to build at all. Which worsens the problem.Some of that was subtext in my previous comments like the square footage thing.

Now imagine that house burned down. How much would it cost to replace it under current code compliance and construction costs? How much is it insured for? For example, my house is currently valued at about $200,000. I could not rebuild this house for $200,000. I’d be lucky to be able to rebuild it for $260,000.
Anyway, let’s get back to the main point. There’s more than inflation going on here. There are multiple factors, not just one.

I’m trying to find realistic solutions. And if we don’t red team premortem then we are building to fail.
- Comment on Housing prices 1 month ago:
It’s important that we use inflation adjusted numbers here. 13,000 from 1965 would be $137,000 now.
You only bought it as a house, but people around you bought as an investment.
