Wait, your right or my right?

If nothing else, he has a talent for sucking the oxygen from the room.

‘Here’s an idea: let all those around you know your status.’

‘Revolutionary!’

It’s weird we haven’t already done this, but good.

Want crazy?

His Nazi ‘school’ was evicted from an Italian monastery.

Bannon’s CV is wild.

That was literally how he piloted and refined weaponising gamers, fandoms, and social media 20 years ago. His WoW and similar social manipulation projects were a major driving force behind GamerGate.

Or never let Windows touch anything. There are alternatives. Treat Windows like the virus it is.

That’s all very true and valid.

I don’t mean to imply anything here, but is it common to find a body, call 911, then bug out without giving any contact info?

Is it weird that I think the vast majority of people would want to stick around to see what was happening, at least?

If I found a body, I’d be interested in what happened, and why. If I found a burnt body in the wilderness, I’d probably not want to fuck off into that same wilderness alone with, perhaps, a survivalist murderer lurking. I’d probably wait for the authorities, since there’s safety in numbers. Maybe that’s just me?

She’s been made stateless, which is by definition illegal. There’s international law against doing exactly this (not that the US cares right now).

She’s brown, though, so why are we supposed to care? She’ll likely grow up to be a criminal or something, so it’s fine. Expedient, even.

If we take care of them at 2 years old, that’s less crime later. This is a good thing, if you really think about it.

And now I need to go take a shower just for typing that out loud.

No it isn’t. This ‘distraction’ shit gives him too much credit, like he’s thinking a step ahead or strategising somehow.

He’s not. He’s just an idiot who can’t keep his mouth shut even when it hurts him.

The ouroboros of capitalism.

Okay, how about actually presenting data to support your argument rather than just ‘nuh-uh’ and vague aspersions?

I will! Just so you know, I was 12, so I cant vouch for the quality of writing or gameplay, lol.

Did you look at my link?

These numbers are not referring to temporarily vacant homes that are in between buyers, but longer term vacancies, often held by investment firms. From the article:

Vacant homes and buildings often succumb to the elements and deteriorate due to leaks, damage and general lack of maintenance before ever finding a buyer willing to pay their inflated prices. An abundance of vacant homes on the market are also attributed to rising rent and home prices.

These homes can sit abandoned for years, causing neighbourhood blight and increased crime, in addition to removing opportunities from people who need housing.

Yes, it’s an uncaring capitalist thing, and no, it’s not a NIMBY thing – quite the opposite. The neighbourhoods with these homes would be far better off with residents than simply letting these homes rot .

There are solutions, and most vacant houses are in major cities, which is also where many homeless people already are.

Detroit, for example, has large numbers of homeless people and also large numbers of these houses. Same with New York, large cities in California, etc.

There are ways to solve this, but there’s no way these large corporations will participate in a solution out of the goodness of their heart.

Kinda… There’s not so much need to build, though, as there are currently 28 vacant homes for every one person experiencing homelessness in the U.S., many of which are owned not by individuals but by large corporations. The same corps that took advantage of the housing market collapses over the last several decades.

Large corporations are sitting on ridiculous numbers of vacant homes rather than make them affordable for people who need them. Fixing that would help.

I’m trying to get my 89 year old dad to set aside the tapes of the first games I programmed on our Commodore 64 in like 1983 when he moves this year. I really want them.

Early mud stuff. I’ll post it if he finds it.

Thanks, that’s very kind.

I’ve been doing corsetry for decades, so no, I just liked history and sewing, and that’s how they came together.

It’s interesting you’d say that, though – after some time in a physiotherapy group, my therapist asked me if I’d be willing to design some back braces. Apparently the construction is similar.

But I’m a designer, not an engineer (and certainly not a healthcare person) so I declined.

Heartbreaking.

I can’t stop crying about this redcap’s 23% loss in profits. Never mind that I’m not sure whether my Social Security disability will continue at all (it’s been delayed the last couple of months, to the point I can’t afford ramen right now) or that they’re building interment camps. Or that my doctors say Medicare won’t allow my prescriptions anymore unless I can travel the hour and a half to physically show up at their office, which I cannot do since I’m 100% homebound and Medicare has suddenly decided they’re not allowing remote visits anymore, so I’ll have to stop taking lifesaving meds I’ve been on for 20 years.

But yes, this guy’s 23% profit loss will keep me up tonight.
