  You said dick three times in your letter. Anyone who uses the word dick is gay.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it gay to have pleasurable sex with your wife?⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  The only way to stop being gay is to never touch her again, otherwise you’re touching someone who has touched a dick and by the transitive property that makes you gay. Touching your wife is gay.

  No wonder MAGAs are obsessed with Cucks, their wives are desperate to feel something other than pain.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it gay to have pleasurable sex with your wife?⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  Religion does this to them, the systematic and merciless repression of sexuality causes it to become an immense burden.

  Not just for the ones in the closet either. Hetero people are told their entire lives that sex is bad and internalize that their desires are evil, then they get married and you expect them to suddenly have a healthy sexual relationship?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it gay to have pleasurable sex with your wife?⁩ ⁨⁨12⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  If you’re having sex with a woman, you’re having sex with someone that likes dick. People who like dick are gay. Having sex with a gay person makes you gay.

  It’s strange to me that people anthropomorphize animals to make big claims about the animal wanting to live in the wild.

  What I said was : they should not be kept in captivity for our amusement.

  Where’s the big claim?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Who are you to assume what an animal wants?

  I am quite literally not doing that. I am saying “we don’t know so we shouldn’t imprison it for our amusement” which does not strike me as a very extreme statement.

  The stories I here about Octopi make them sound more like an intelligent creature we don’t understand rather than “lots of creatures escape their cages to go hunting and then return before anyone notices. This is natural behavior for an animal.”

  Yes, the mind of an octopus is unknowable, and it could be just acting on instinct. It could also have some measure of sentience, and there is no way to really know. As such maybe we should err on the side of caution and not keep them in little pens for us to gawk at.

  Something smart enough to recgonize the people, what they mean, learn their schedule, and understand how to decieve them, is something that should not be kept in captivity for our amusement.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Landlords are parasites⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This was your exact statement.

  Incorrect. My exact statement was:

  they’re undergoing renovations (source)

  The only thing your source says is “Some are seasonal homes, some are undergoing renovations, and others are simply being held as investments.” it does not provide a number or a link. 2 houses undergoing renovations counts as “some”.

  (emphasis added)

  A single sentence on both sides of what you quoted provide all the context you need. If you pay any attention to the context it’s clear I was referencing renovations, especially when you consider that the paragraph before I responded to the point about vacation homes, and the paragraph after I responded to the point of them being held for investments. Anyone bothering to read what I was saying instead of skimming for things to argue against would have recognized I was splitting up the specific points using clear quotes and paragraphs to differentiate which specific point I was addressing at the time.

  But you’re not worth any courtesy or effort. Like what the fuck is your problem? This was meant to be a lighthearted discussion, why are you acting like you got log jammed up your ass? Like holy shit do you sound like an absolutely insufferable douche. But you know what, you’re absolutely right, this conversation is not worth continuing. You’re not worth my time, so piss off asshole.

  Every accusation is a confession. I said you’re not paying attention to what I’m saying, you responded with swears, cursing and personal insults. Like what the fuck is your problem?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Landlords are parasites⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It does provide a link to a study actually, check again.

  There’s no data for renovations specifically…

  So when I specificly quoted the word renovations, and said it does not provide links or sources in my paragraph about renovations, did you think maybe I was talking about data for renovations?

  You literally just told me to check again for data you admit doesn’t exist 2 sentences later. Either you’re not paying attention to what is being said, or your looking for whatever excuse you can to disagree with me in order to ignore what I’m actually saying. Either way continuing would be a waste of time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Landlords are parasites⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You’re correct, but at the same time, buying a house was still a very expensive back then as well. It was major purchase for most people, just not to the same extant relative to today.

  Okay, so we agree that there is a problem then. It was feasible in the past and basically impossible now. If housing prices were relatively the same as they were when I was a child I wouldn’t be upset about landlords, but we are in a housing crises now and something has to change.

  The majority of the houses that are vacant are either seasonal houses in states like Maine, Florida, or West Virginia

  You mean vacation homes. People who own multiple properties so that can sit vacant the majority of the year. Boo-fucking-hoo if people have to sell their vacation home to someone who actually needs a place to live.

  they’re undergoing renovations (source)

  The only thing your source says is “Some are seasonal homes, some are undergoing renovations, and others are simply being held as investments.” it does not provide a number or a link. 2 houses undergoing renovations counts as “some”.

  There is still a decent portion that are being held as investments

  That’s exactly the fucking problem. Yes.

  it’s not your mom and pop landlords who are doing that, it’s massive corporations like Blackrock or JP Morgan Chase who actually have the means to sit on empty properties, pay the taxes, and play long manipulative game.

  1. So we agree that the majority of rental properties are owned by a landlord that is making life objectively worse for people? Then we should do something about that instead of clutching pearls about the 1% of houses owned by “mom and pop landlord”.

  2. And speaking of, can we stop with the “mom and pop landlord” bullshit? I have family members who are exactly the type of people you are talking about. They own a rental property and take care of it and their renters. If suddenly they couldn’t do that anymore they would be fine. The property is not their livelihood, it’s an investment. They would just invest in something else. These are people that can afford multiple properties in the current market (which we already agreed is much too expensive).

  Property can be affordable or be an investment, not both. I’m arguing that it should be affordable (being a basic requirement for survival and all). People using it as an investment can go invest somewhere else.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Landlords are parasites⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Building homes is expensive. It requires land, materials, skilled labor, permits, and time. Buying a home is a major investment

  And yet it not very long ago it was feasible for a single income earner on minimum wage to not only be able to afford a home, but do so while supporting a family. So what has ballooned in price to make that out of reach for the vast majority of people? The land, materials, skilled labor, permits, or the house itself due to it being used as an investment?

  Like any market, housing is shaped by supply and demand.

  There are many viable houses sitting vacant because the landlords would rather wait for someone that can afford the absurdly high rent than risk lowering the market value of rent for their other properties.

  If the first person in line to a concert purchases every ticket then resells them for 10x the cost the solution is not “make more tickets available”. The scalper will just buy them as well.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Landlords are parasites⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  1. Shelter is a necessity. A hotel isn’t.

  2. Property is a limited resource. When people scalp concert tickets they get vilified. When they do the same thing for something necessary for survival people like you defend it with “well there are pros and cons…”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Landlords are parasites⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Those costs are included in the rent.

  “Planet X (Planet 9) exists and explains gravitational pull”

  Weird conspiracy theories were not taught at my school.

  Also:

  In 2017, a photograph appeared to prove that Amelia Earhart survived her plane crash and was taken prisoner by the Japanese. However, it was later proven that the photo was taken two years before her disappearance, leaving the mystery unsolved.

  Updated understanding emerged around 2010

  The updated understanding emerged 7 years before the photo appeared?

  This is why websites need downvotes.
