Unironically the answer is “shop less.”

Prices on goods rise when demand for goods stays sufficient to support the price going up. The less everyone buys, the less things will cost.

Prices for goods have almost nothing to do with the price of rent, but the mechanisms there are the same - it’s just that you have to encourage building rather than “live somewhere less” because the second option really isn’t tenable, for obvious reasons.

If you want rent to come down, campaign for, vote for, or even run for office to be the candidate that will change zoning laws and encourage building multifamily housing.

This is a great take man. Nothing to add but this is a solid perspective.

I find it very weird the US is showing such restraint here.

I get it’s because of Saudi truce with the Houthis, but the entire purpose of the vessels being there is to combat exactly this thing. Allowing Iran to wage this proxy terrorism against our own naval vessels is not something id have expected.

My hope would be that we can transition peacefully to a hybrid model with the rising power of unions, gradual emergence of worker cooperatives, and increased demand for socialized health care and affordable housing.

None of this has anything to do with capitalism tho.

Like, capitalism can and should be the economic engine driving these positive outcomes.

Hamas should surrender unconditionally because there is a 0% chance of them winning this war and a negligible chance of them surviving this war.

That’s when you surrender.

Yeah the only issue here is “Caucasians” is roughly similar in emotional weight to “native Americans.”

Shirt should say like, “crackers” or something

So nothing relevant to the discussion. Got it.

He doesn’t need to name names, because they have his computers, documents, etc. This conspiracy theory is as full of holes as QAnon shit.

The Panama Papers weren’t swept under a rug, you just didn’t follow news on them.

Also Epstein 100% killed himself, and unsealing this info won’t tell you anything meaningful, because predators who hide among the rich don’t fucking tell every person they meet that they’re a predator.

Conspiracy theories are never a good look on anyone.

I’m a huge space nerd. I did also appreciate the visuals and realistic portrayal of time dilation, and should have noted that (though it may have diluted my opinion a bit?). I just didn’t like the actual movie itself.

Interstellar is a terrible movie that doesn’t say or do anything special and I still don’t understand why anyone thinks it’s so amazing.

I did really like the robot guy though.

I’m not being tedious. You specifically said you’d join Hamas. That’s what Hamas is. If you want to say something differently, just say different words.

Without Hamas there would literally be a Palestinian state, and it would be a secular state, and I know this because this is the reason Hamas exists.

They seized power and canceled elections forever specifically because Palestinians were going to be their own secular state, and Israel would exist. They find that unacceptable. Just like the entire reason for the October attacks was Israel normalizing relations with Saudi Arabia.

These things are not secrets or opinions man. This is history.

If someone occupied my country, killed my family and took my family land I can’t say I’d react any different.

???

Hamas is explicitly a jihadist regime. Do you… not know that?

You’d become a hardline religious extremist, torture your own people, and massacre civilians in cold blood?

Weird thing to admit to man.

Here’s how you actually “manipulate the algorithm.”

1: take up residency in the comments, and at the same time start a few basic accts that don’t say anything too controversial (day in the life kinda stuff, thirst traps, etc). Establish a basic presence

2: once you amass a following, you start with pretty basic stuff lots of young people agree with - housing/healthcare reform, work reform, etc

3: an important part a lot of people miss - have your own team troll your comments. Stir up shit. The goal is to get people riled up, not move the needle in any specific direction

4: throw out something big (it’s been confirmed that Russia is behind distribution on TikTok of OBL’s “Letter to America” recently). Fight on both sides, tagging in as much of the greater sphere of commenters as you can.

That’s it. That’s all anyone’s doing. Just do this over and over and you eventually drive people crazy.

They did the exact same thing in 2016, they did it in 2020 with BLM, they did it with Ukraine. It’s nothing new

Imagine writing an article bemoaning a $250 million investment in your area solely because climate change exists as a general concept lol

A British person should know better than to criticize food with actual flavor.

These people are better than you

Being willing to code as a hobby is not something I would consider makes someone “better than me.”

Palpatine returned through clones and Sith magic, explained at the end of the story

The character Poe Dameron knows nothing about Force magic, which is why he says “somehow.” He is working from limited information and is not an “author voice” to the audience.
