I want to help you understand the situation and why people say what they say. Then you can better judge the situation for yourself and make your own decisions.

Situation “your own house”: You want to buy a house but you don’t have the money because… Wtf is the housing market??? 100k for a cardboard box??? So you lent money from your bank to pay for the house. With interest, you pay maybe e.g. 70% more than what you lent. And it takes you 30 years to do so. You might lose your job and have to save a little extra to cover those times and maybe the bank let’s you miss a payment once. After 30 years, you have now a house that needs some repairs but you got more money in your wallet because you are done paying the bank. So you do some repairs and it cost you money, maybe you need a small loan again. Eventually, you are retired and you have less money but you don’t have to repair your house anymore. Sure, there are some issues but the heater will manage another 10 years. You don’t have to worry too much because you don’t have to maintain it after your death. You don’t need to save for a new roof in 5 years when you are 95yo. You can make the call that you don’t care.

So in other words, you pay a little less than 70% more than the value of the house and afterwards you paid for YOUR UTILITY. Every repair was between you and future you.

Situation “I rent to you”: I am buying the house and of course, I am lent the money as it is financially easier and in some places, gives me tax cuts. I buy a house and I too pay 70% interest on it. I need to get the money to pay for my loan. I am not a asshole but also not a saint. So what is pretty fair? Mhm… You, as my renter, pay my loan back! If i ask less, I am literally losing money. But wait, you might move out at any time and I need to pay my loan, so I am asking a little extra… Just in case. But then there are repairs and someone needs to pay for those, so maybe a little extra. Okay now, you are paying for everything! I am safe and sound. After 30 years, you paid back my loan and I own the place. I am getting old and I let my son take care of the business. He takes good care of the house and makes sure that all the repairs are done. He is earning so extra money too as well the loan is paid back. He is looking for a new house for all his children and a big nice garden. With his day job and your rent, his bank gives him a big amount of money that he spends on a beautiful house, he gets the house as he has the cash. You are getting older and you retire, but your rent is not going down. If you could have bought the house 50 years ago, it would have been yours, but it isn’t and you are paying the new loan of my son. The heater could use a replacement in the next 10 years but you really don’t have the money for that but it isn’t your decision, my son wants to rent out the house another 50years if possible. My son feels forced to look for a new renter as you don’t have the money to pay for the new loan and the repairs. He kicks you out. You are homeless. You pay off the loan and some of another loan but you are homeless.

Now that story wasn’t even about actively trying to make money but not wanting to take a risk for someone else.

Most landlords want to make some money.

Honestly I don’t get the OF hate in general. We all have watched porn and we probably liked at least some of what we have seen. What is wrong about earning a living with producing what other people want and like? And as I don’t think, we argue about people consuming porn but about paying for it, what the fuck is wrong with paying the content creator? Why do we prefer paying agencies with ad revenue while the agency effectively scams their talent? Why no ads but cash? Why agency and not talent?

Jealousy.

Technically 0% of their problems and 100% of their former problems.

If this was a joke, I love the joke

I don’t know, I kinda like the implication that Nazis aren’t homo sapiens. And while being “homo” is certainly not bad, something tells me that Nazis wouldn’t enjoy being called a “Homo Nazi”.

I kinda like the depiction of a man, visually disconnected to life and focused on wealth/social norms, asking for the meaning of life from a guru instead of seeking out his own meaning, highlighting the consumer/capitalist mindset of the man in suit. And the guru is taking advantage of the flaws of the man to radicalize him and eventually making bringing death the meaning of the man’s life. Assuming the man is American, potentially even bringing his own death.

The perversion of life itself in the society that we all know too well.

Facebook be like: “don’t worry! I will not print off your COMPUTER! it will be the printer muhahahahaa”

Musk? no way.

Jk mold? Maybe but unlucky

Don’t you see the benefit of AI??? Wow this is such a good and helpful thing. This chatgpt really is a useful product. Good job!

We exploit “cheap” labor “foreign” countries and create a hostile environment online (and possibly remote work job market) for the citizens of that country and look at all the good stuff, we got from it… Look at it… It is going to somewhere right?

An intentionally vague term; we have known that a binary gender system is faulted at least ever since the late 1700s as that is when the term “intersex” was added to the Oxford English dictionary. The concept of intersex Highlights the vagueness of both man and woman. Like most intentionally vague terms, we like to pretend to have a clear grasp of what it is as the admission of the vague nature harms the utility of the word. In most cases, an precis Definition of, e.g. culture or woman, carries less utility than the share vague understanding of the term. In other words, trying to define the word is taking part in an effort that goes against the point of having words, being able to effectively communicate ideas.

Ofc, defining a woman within a conversation or a paper for the sake of clear communication is a good idea in some situations. Just like defining a dice to have 6 sides makes sense in the manual of a game but it doesn’t make sense outside of these cases.

I hope you didn’t feel attacked or criticized. Sometimes people just need to hear that they CAN leave. Regardless of what we are talking about.

Nothing but love to you.

Just want to remind everyone, deleting your account and leaving the platform is a way to harm the platform that has turned into an enabler of bigoted hatred. And in doing so, stop being an enabler of the known enabler.

Honestly I don’t think anyone who is happy with their sex life is invested in how other people’s sex life is.

Looking at the homophobic crowd.

Great meme. Good protest.

Small businesses like Microsoft don’t have the funding to develop such an advanced system.

Musk’s PISS. I mean LLM or Ai.

PISS is the correct term though. If you want to read up on PISS

I was told by a producer and seller, that they would keep the animal hostage for only a few months and would let them free afterwards.

What I heard, was “we force feed them coffee for a few months, let them free in a somewhat controlled environment and setup traps to catch them again and abuse them again for a few months”

I am not sure if I believe them about letting them free at all.

“Princess Zelda” is a weird way to refer to the original Legend of Zelda NES cartridge.

I really don’t understand this one. with triforce, it wouldn’t be funny but it would make sense but Zelda?
