Housing needs to be less commodimized, but tons of normal families have their entire network tied up in a home.

Any act that raises home prices hurts though without and any act that lowers home prices hurts those with. How can we untangle homes being family’s largest asset without screwing older people.

Without homes and apartments being a commodity, how do we determine who gets to live where fairly? Isn’t there like 10x as many vacancies than homeless people? So it’s not a supply issue, it’s a location issue. The open market is great for sorting that out, but the open market has abused housing and is squeezing too hard.

I don’t like that home prices are as high as they are, and we need to change our mindset about how home pricing should work. It needs both government oversight and market forces.

Elden ring was my first souls game and I kept away from fan sites and youtube videos as much as possible until I beat the final boss. Didn’t want to tempt finding a meta build.

If I needed help, I asked friends. It was a great experience!

I can see this random tweet from Taylor Swift just fine in incognito mode. I can’t look at replies but I can see her posts.

People on Lemmy link to tweets all the time and I can navigate and read them. Not sure what you mean then that it’s authwalled. It’s an annoying experience and it bugs me every time I visit to make an account or log in, but I can see them.

So let’s say on Twitter, someone blocks me and I can’t read their post. Can’t I just log out and read their post that way? I don’t have a Twitter account, so I’ve never seen a blocked link before.

Very disruptive. Landfills typically bury the day’s trash at the end of the day and it’s just layers and layers of garbage, like lasagna. You might be able to work on Monday’s trash slice, but by the time Thursday rolls around, it’s time to add a layer on top of Monday.

Digging could interrupt the entire landfill process if it’s still an active landfill, meaning the daily garbage has to be redirected elsewhere, because landfills aren’t just a hole in the ground, they are a feat of engineering.

Well, this event led to him talking to Hasan for like 3-4 hours. And although Hasan probably won’t change his mind, Hasan getting 4 hours of his viewers attention may end up with more good than harm.

Maybe that’s just copium though

If you’re talking about what Google or Microsoft offer as a login tool, it’s basically a file hidden on your physical PC so when you attempt to login to a service that wants it, the service gets a password from you and the passkey from your actual device to authenticate you.

For example, I have passkey enabled on my windows PC that my Google account has a passkey in. Anytime I access the built in password manager in chrome, Windows now gives me a pop up for a PIN number, and then windows will authenticate on my behalf with the hidden passkey.

If I need to access my password manager from my phone or another computer, I have to use my Google password instead since my passkey isn’t on those physical devices.

I believe Microsoft stores your passkey files on your motherboards TPM module, but I could be wrong.

The most frustrating one is that 4 of a kind does not trigger two pair

Notification access also allows them to show pictures, so they will show things like "you have a virus, download "totally legit antivirus " or other “warnings” disguised as windows alerts.

If Trump wins, I imagine Ivanka or Eric run in 2028 with the soft understanding that Donald is still running the show. If Donald was younger, GOP might try to remove term limits.

If Harris wins, I expect not much of anything to change. Dems don’t have enough of the Senate to enact campaign promises, and if they did, they wouldn’t act in it like in the past.

But hey, at least Dems populate government seats with people that seem to want to do a good job. We don’t have the owner of private schools leading the dept of education or C-Suite Exxon guys running the EPA or telecom guys running the FCC.

Yeah, the tweet just seems wrong. I just took “based” as “based in reality” and red pill is the matrix choice to see how the world really is.

Based for opinions you agree with, red pilled for opinions “the other side” doesn’t want you to have (the other side can also be imaginary)

Undecided voters aren’t undecided between Trump and Harris, they are undecided on leaving the couch to go vote.

So I don’t really think it’s changing the mind of voters and I don’t see it motivating people to go vote.

Just seems like an attempt at counter narrative for “Comrade Harris”. I don’t see it moving the needle.

Alaska, a red state, is reportedly trying to remove their rank choice voting. This isn’t a “Dems” problem, it’s a two party problem.

Even if state and local elections are ranked choice, the presidential election will still be a first past the post election and the electoral college is still designed for a two party system.

Not saying you and I would call it “ethical” but there are for profit companies who will pay for someone’s funeral expenses to claim the body and sell it to researchers, universities, etc. So they didn’t donate their body to science but their family sold it because they couldn’t afford the service on their own.

Maybe not ethical, but legal, and therefore they may be able to claim it’s “ethical” in advertising.

Well, for almost a decade the GOP has had time to come up with their vision. They ran on “Repeal and Replace” in the 2016 cycle. But when it came time to vote to repeal, they still didn’t have a replace option.

Prices didn’t go down when the 2018 tax cuts reduced corporate tax by about 30%, I doubt when the ACA gets repealed and insurance companies can drop the uninsurable people they will lower the prices for healthy Americans, because they are already anchored at the higher price.

Technically that’s true, because it changed the law where you can’t be denied coverage because of pre-existing conditions, but I’m guessing OP means he uses the marketplace thingy instead of having insurance provided by work.

(Also, the affordable care act didn’t force you to have insurance, it was a tax penalty to not have insurance, but the 2018 tax act set that penalty to $0)

The fact you even look at politics puts you in like, the top 20% of the US population.

I would wager the majority of people that do vote, just look for an R or D next to a name and check the box for their team and move on.

There were about 160 million people who voted in 2020, an unprecedented amount of engagement from the voting populace, and still not half of Americans voting.

People don’t really care. Do they have a job? Are their basic needs met? If yes, vote incumbent, if no, vote competition. I expect to see tweets in November asking where Biden went and who is Kamala.

For sure, just offering some silver linings to them :)
