- Comment on Housing prices 1 week ago:
Even before that there was a boom in people using houses as an investment opportunity instead of just a place for people to live. Land ownership became the get rich quick opportunity that people who don’t play the stock market could put their money into. Then the people who do play the stock market got into it.

And as if that wasn’t an insult to the middle class, people like Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos can borrow against their stock holdings as if they were real assets, yet never be taxed on the value. But if you borrow against the value of your house, YOU get taxed on that value.

Private Equity 101, “buy” a business using borrowed money, put all the debt on the company you “bought”, slash costs, sell off assets, have the company declare bankruptcy and take all the debt with it, rince and repeat… Profit.
- Comment on Supergirl 2026 storyline 2 weeks ago:
I don’t think you understand what a narcissist is. And in the story, in literally every story about Supergirl, her family, her friends, everyone she ever knew, died horribly in front of her and she ends up surviving. There is such a thing as survivors guilt and it is pretty brutal.
But hey, feel free to be pissed that it isn’t a clone of the Superman movie but with a girl.
- Comment on They eliminated cashiers and keep the profits. NY Democrats are fighting back. 2 weeks ago:
Grocery prices have gone up 25% to 30% since 2020. It has been at least three full years since the pandemic was declared over. Had food prices have gone up at around 10% since then.
They don’t need an excuse to add 10%, they’re doing it anyway.

I didn’t see your comment until after I deleted mine. But yeah I saw a comment below that actually had statistics from datausa.io.
I still say that they should back up their rebuttal with their own sources instead of just spitting out a number.

- Comment on modern classic 2 weeks ago:
No, I don’t think that is why. There have been much more depressing times in the past and those were just as colorful as any other time. I think the thing that has most influenced the color palette of millennials, or rather the lack of, is the rise of the internet and social media. People don’t want to stand out and be mocked for being different. Especially in a climate where being different can actually cost you quite a bit. I believe this is especially true of interior decorators and designers who often set the trends for people to use.
There’s also something to be said for an extreme backlash to the home makeover shows that were all the rage back in the late aughts. I think a lot of people still have trauma from the “experimental” bullshit that some of those designers did to their “clients” all in the name of chasing ratings.

Did millennials all just become color blind? It’s all black, white, and grey with their color schemes.
- Comment on Don’t you lie to me 3 weeks ago:
You always return the wallet. This is not a Christian thing this is just a human thing. But here’s the pros and cons.
Number one scenario: it belongs to an insanely rich person. If you keep this wallet they will barely miss that money because they have plenty, however the police will work very hard to find you and then they will beat the ever living shit out of you and you will be sent to jail for stealing from an oligarch.
Scenario two: it belongs to somebody for whom this is their entire life savings and without it they will become destitute. You will face no repercussions for keeping the wallet and the money because they have no power. But you will have completely destroyed someone else’s life which makes you a vile disgusting POS.

Sitting or, more precisely, squatting is all in all more healthy for your prostate as well.

- Comment on "Censorship" ☠️ 5 weeks ago:
It has been a fuck long time since I’ve watched it in its entirety. But there is a scene with a middle schooler(?) …I think all the main characters are middle schoolers… Anyhow, she has a moment of sexual awakening and is literally feeling herself out and gets blackmailed by the digital boogeyman of the series.
Mental note, gotta rewatch that show again some time.
- Comment on How often is normal to masturbate? 5 weeks ago:
Yeah it’s just the broad statement that I object to. I don’t think this study qualifies for such a broad interpretation of the data.
- Comment on How often is normal to masturbate? 5 weeks ago:
That study included people age 18 and up with no upper limit and 30% of the participants were over 60. Not saying this is an invalid study, but there are a few caveats to the conclusion.
- Comment on How often is normal to masturbate? 5 weeks ago:
Studies of who? The entire human race, the Amish, people in monasteries? Without a specific age and societal class in there, such a statement might as well be made up.

Serial Experiments Lain
Uhhh…you might wanna rethink that one.
Not running down the anime, it’s one of my favorites. But it has some questionable moments. And though those do have context, some people who are sensitive to the topic of this post may find them uncomfortable to watch.

It allows your prostate to fully relax due to being in a sitting or squatting position.

I sit because it’s less stressful and more healthy for my prostate.
- Comment on Indie dev defends criticism of Steam refund abuse amid review bombing of his game: 'It's wrong to refund a game after having fun with it and completing it' 5 weeks ago:
It’s not just that playing it enjoying it and then refunding it. It’s the bragging about it on the fucking platform. Kind of asshole who does that. Well, that’s gaming culture these days.

- Comment on GinkNo. 1 month ago:
The people who owned our house before us planted one in our front yard. We didn’t realize what it was until a couple years after we had lived here and it started sprouting its flowers. Even then it took us a while to realize where that smell is coming from. Now the thing is fucking huge and taking it down would be incredibly difficult and expensive because of where it’s planted. So 3 weeks out of the year we just don’t go outside and keep our windows closed… 😑
P.S. we do not live in the south. I don’t even understand why this thing is here.
- Comment on Don't have kids 1 month ago:
This was done by full grown adults. Children do not have the focus and determination to do something this involved. At most they would smear some windows before they got bored and moved on. Only adults have the drive and focus to cover an entire car in peanut butter and whatever those balls are. Not to mention the money. That’s easily $60 worth of peanut butter.
