Mortgage interest rates are very high at the moment, and many people “feel” like that’s never going to change, but it very likely will, significantly increasing what they’ll be able to afford. Home prices in my city have been falling for a couple years since they went out of control bonkers during the pandemic, and I don’t think they’ve hit bottom yet.

Point is, these things are typically cyclical and temporary

Check out much of the Midwest. Check out Detroit.

Damn bro, we should hang. Makita dad meetup

“Increase Human Suffering” should be the 2024 RNC convention theme. That they are sending people with absolutely no notice is unconscionable. There are people and organizations all over the country who will put in effort to prepare for the arrival of these human beings, but Abbott seems to want it to be a surprise, and to further increase these people’s suffering in order to try to make a political message.

If you’re taking an average by unit of volume, it absolutely matters

When you say “all molecules that comprise earth,” are you including every molecule in the atmosphere out to the Karman line? Are you looking for an average of every molecule, or an average by volume? There are more molecules in solid matter than gaseous, obv

This is the same Israeli court that has ruled against Netanyahu multiple times, and which he has been desperately trying to delegitimize for fear of eventually going to prison. What Israel is doing is terrible, and we also shouldn’t automatically dismiss progressive voices in Israel just because they are Israeli. There is a large percentage of Israel that does not support Netanyahu or the genocide he has undertaken

How are they earning money? Seems more like they’re burning through money and young men

This isn’t a black or white “win or lose” scenario. You know that, right?

Likely just an issue with the perspective of the video, I bet these planes have plenty distance between them if you were to see them from the front

With this raise, since 2020 federal wages have risen 15.4%, and that’s for someone who worked the same job that whole time and didn’t advance. Why are you outraged at Biden giving a 5%+ raise this year to federal workers? Like why in the living fuck is your anger so utterly misdirected??

Do away with this raise then, I guess? Why are you shitting on positive change

SELL OUT WITH ME TONIGHT. THIS IS NOT A REQUEST IT IS A COMMAND.

I bet if Trump isn’t on the ballot in CO, there is a significant subset of his voters who would just not vote, with serious implications for down ballot races, especially in the House of Representatives. Think about how that would affect Lauren Boebert

Totally agree with this

Healthy food is absolutely not a luxury item. I’ll accept the argument that the time to prepare healthy food is a luxury, but in almost every corner of the US you will find basic ingredients (eg rice, beans, carrots, celery, corn, potatoes, pasta) are way less expensive than the pre-prepared slop in boxes in the middle aisles of the store. People are addicted to that sugary shit and actively choose it

You may be surprised at the spectrum of human experience. Among those for whom drinking becomes a problem at some point in their life, a substantial majority are actually able to moderate or regulate their drinking, either on their own or with limited support. There are a subset of problem drinkers who absolutely cannot do this though, and those for whom a single drink can send them spiralling.

I’m not saying what that other guy is doing is smart, but like you said, everybody’s journey is different

Tax cuts. Remember when he helped pass a $1.5 trillion unfunded tax cut for the wealthy then resigned? That was the only issue he cared about, and he cared more about that than about being honest about Trump’s behavior

Netanyahu has been destroying the Palestinian Authority in stages for years, mostly by supporting Hamas and treating Hamas like their equivalent
