No this is another housing bubble, similar to what happened back in 2010. My house is now worth more than double what I paid for it, which is more than it was at the peak of the housing bubble right before it crashed back in 2010.

But biggest difference this time around is the bubble has been intentionally accelerated by a handful of investment firms that have been buying up all the houses across the US for the past decade.

We are going to spend billions on ad campaigns to tell you how committed we are to telling you we care about the thing we’re doing that is wrong.

I have learned thru my years of gardening that wasps and hornets are a good thing to have around, not just bees. Not only do they help pollinate flowers, they are predators to some of the most annoying garden pests. I think I’ve counted at least 7 different wasp species in my garden this summer, they’ve done a great job keeping the larger pest populations manageable.

I quit my 20+ year career as a sysadmin about 2 years ago and started turning my backyard into a massive garden. I’m currently trying to figure out places to sell large quantities of hot peppers and I’m about to start selling matted and framed photos of flowers and wildlife from my garden.

Fuck IT.

I’ve been working on not saying “Google it” for quite a while. After saying it for over a fucking decade, its a hard habit to break. But I’m finally getting used to saying just “Look it up”

I saw one of those stupid motherfuckers driving thru my neighborhood the other day. That was the first time I had seen one in person and I have to say it was the ugliest piece of shit I had ever seen. All I could do was laugh at the dumbass behind the wheel for wasting their money on that monstrosity.

Also, am I the only one who remembers the old flash game from like a decade ago with a “cybertruck” that looks exactly like this that you bounced around the screen to kill enemies? I’m going on a mission to find that shit now.

Man, I quit my IT job 2 years ago and I haven’t looked back. So glad I got out when I did.

But Dixon wrote, rather cryptically, that remaining employees will put “more emphasis on our social channels as we accelerate our discussion with partners to take our content to where it will be viewed most broadly.”

In other words, the in depth reporting and niche shows aren’t making enough money, so we’re going to dump all that shit and jump on the reality TV bandwagon.

Found the Apple marketing person.

Kinda like the fucking TV screens they have on gas pumps for the sole fucking purpose of shoving ads down the throat of captive audiences.

I’m emotionally in a bad place from years of emotional abuse (as a child and an adult). I struggle with ADHD, major depression, and anxiety. I’m unemployed and desperate for a career change. My marriage is in the shitter and I have no friends or family to lean on for anything. I’m all alone…

Yes but image copyright is fickle thing, because at what point does it become not a copyrighted image? I have to reference the “Ship of Theseus” thought experiment, because it does sort of apply here. A fictional character cannot be drawn from a first hand perspective, so some sort of copyrighted image HAS to be used as a reference. So where does one draw the line?

Ditto!!

Brian Kemp should have never been allowed to step foot in the GA governors office in the first fucking place. Especially after he was allowed to oversee his own election as Lt Gov, somehow “lost” hundreds of thousands of voter registration applications prior to his own election, and intentionally deleted voting machine data when it was subpoenaed by the courts during the fallout from that election. The man is a corrupt piece of shit, so of course he would align with another corrupt piece of shit.

I have a question for the author of this stupid fucking article. What the fuck do you think half of the artists on the planet do? They use copyrighted images as reference when drawing fictional characters and they often end up looking very similar to the original. There are thousands of people on social media that sell these drawings on a regular basis.

Or rather the answer just as easily could be “Tied up in a closet while my security detail decided to beat my ass and take all of my shit. Since money is now worthless and I have nothing to pay them with”

IIRC, they have UV sterilizers for central HVAC systems. So while it may not sterilize surfaces, it will kill all airborne pathogens.

Lets see some names. Who are these people?
