Poor Mikey

There is no market pressure for landlords on properties they own. Prices for upkeep and repair can increase and property tax can increase, but these costs increases are negligible over the term of a rental agreement. The housing market pushing prices higher only affects their ability to expand and buy new houses for renters they can mooch off of. When they raise your rent becuase of the housing market, AT BEST they are unethically farming your money to expand their investments that you could otherwise be investing in yourself. At worst, and more likely, they are simply taking advantage of you and using the market as an excuse to boost their margins to hoard more money for themselves and/or themselves luxuries you can never afford because rent takes up more than half your gross salary.

Unaddressed man-made climate change leading to unprecedented volatility and extremes in weather as predicted since the 70s? Bullshit.

A secret cabal of leftists attacking red states (and blue states for… reasons) through advanced undetectable technology (or magic?) that alters the weather creating these extreme events? Probably real, yo.

If you’re waiting for “num & 1 == 2”, you’re going to be very disappointed

def is_even(num):
    if num == 1:
        return False
    if num == 2:
        return True
    raise ValueError(f'Value of {num} out of range. Literally impossible to tell if it is even.')

Again, it doesn’t matter how popular or unpopular Trump is. He is a “lame duck” President now. He either cannot run again (if the law meant anything at all), or he will have fucked up the election integrity so bad to allow him to run again that nothing about the election will be legitimate and it will be rigged AF. The only ones that need to be worried about popularity are the congressmen and women that are still electable and are supporting his speed run into dictatorship. In 2026, if the elections are not already rigged by then, we have one last chance to remove his cronies and the useless spineless Dems that are standing by while our democracy crumbles. And then those new congresspeople will have an uphill battle fighting back against a mad president and a bought SCOTUS. Otherwise, it doesn’t matter if zero people actually vote for him. Dictatorships dont give a fuck about democracy.

Either we’re all fish, whales and dolphins are fish, or nothing is fish. All three positions are perfectly justifiable depending on your critieria, so take your pick.

Starbucks white mocha frappaccino is too sweet by half. But Starbucks white mocha frappaccino with an extra shot (or two extra shots!)… Delightful.

1998: I invested in this small company that makes this pretty decent way to search for things on the internet. Can’t imagine it will be able to compete with the big boys like Yahoo!Search or even edge out the cool new guys like AskJeeves, but I like that they have “dont be evil” as part of their company rules.

2025: I own every detail of your lives. Our eyes are always watching. I’m richer than God. Our search engine is almost useless.

So does my homemade mayo shower.

Thank you for the good faith response.

Update: only just got a chance to watch it and his “eat my entire ass comment” seems not to be related to the initiative itself but to the way Ross framed how the initiative was going to be easy to make into law becuase of a bunch of really weird reasons unrelated to the merit of the initiative that seemed very backhanded and sketchy. I completely agree that Ross’s comment were incredibly slimy and cynical even as I still mostly agree with the initiative. Just seems like people are taking the comment out of that context and getting pissed over something he didnt actually say or mean about the initiative itself. And, as i said before, I couldn’t give two fucks about personal beef between creators. I know nothing about Ross Scott and have only seen him in this context.

That’s a pretty twisted way to view the world. We are fundamentally different kinds of people. I think are done here. No way we will agree on anything if that’s how you think.

My point was that this rage mill has produced a lot of extreme negativity and this post, among others, and the comment thread within, is propogating it. And, as far as I can tell, it is over, at best, Thor taking the possibilities of this petition as written to the extreme to illustrate his concerns for its vagueness. And even if he is dead wrong, completely mistaken, and now knows it and won’t admit to it, that does not, in anyway, justify the position he is put in now. I’m not say that you personally support him being swatted, or getting death threats, but not letting this shit go after a year of bullshit, letting it fester and boosting the rage, that’s what leads to that shit. Just let it go.

Thank you for the link.

And you don’t have to try and strawman this. I have neither harassed, swated, or made any threats, at all, against him. Nor have I ever advocated for it. I have also not claimed anyone deserves that treatment.

Didn’t say that you are. But for some reason you are arguing with me while I’m just saying that he doesn’t deserve all that. If we agree on that don’t know why you’re concerned with my comments.
