If you think Christianity fits this description then you have a poor understanding of Christianity.
ITT: A collectively poor understanding of Christian theology
Even if I don’t agree with you on all of what you said I agree with most of it. Sound reasoning and all that. The autism/aspergers ‘excuse’ is definitely hard to accept given his history.
Regardless, someone like him simply shouldn’t be at the positions he has held if the open source community is to gain progress.
I’m conflicted here. The fact that he’s a weirdo is kind of irrelevant imo. He’s philosophically uncompromising and unmoved by social pressure. The only thing separating him from most tech CEOs is that he lacks an organization investing millions into his health, image, publicity etc Most big time executives are degenerates but no one cares because they are good at what they do. I think he’s good at making software free even if he’s a socially inept [insert criticism here] in his personal life. Additionally I’m saying this as someone who disagrees with him on basically every other issue he takes a stand on.
Yeah. I’m not a big “celebrity” person but he’s had a net positive impact to the world and devoted his life to his cause. I have a signed copy of his hacking book from a seminar in college. I hope he comes out on the other side. I have a lot of respect for him despite his eccentric statements.
What did happen when it was repealed?
Most internet companies are screwy specifically because the government helped them become regional monopolies in the first place. This will make internet more expensive and worse. What is this even trying to solve? You can get fast internet in middle of nowehere Montana with Starlink at $120/month right now.
Thanks! I’ll try this out.
Fellow Caddy user here. I’d love to set that up. Can you share your Caddyfile or at least the important snippets?
This should be the top comment right here. Some actual context around what happened.
You’re rude but I agree with most of what you said. The West has been encroaching on Russia for years.
Call your senior relatives
Good advice. I don’t regret any of the time I spent with my Grandma. She was hysterically funny and would always stop what she was doing to chat. I could tell she really valued the time. She also taught me a ton of stuff about cooking, canning etc
Regular interaction helps them avoid senility as well.
Quality post. Really compelling stuff.
You forget that for one to acquire said property one must first “exploit” one’s self. What I do with the earnings from my exploitation is my business.
I don’t have a problem with either one of those things so pick your favorite.
Anything not needed for human survival.
A thriving business selling stuff people don’t need for them to buy with excess capital they no longer have.
This is just a whataboutism fallacy.
No you’re just ignoring a hole in your argument. I could profitably buy a plot of land and use it to store pig feces which happens in North Carolina.
Landlords do no more to provide housing than ticket scalpers do to provide concert tickets.
This analogy doesn’t track. They aren’t selling something the person could otherwise afford or even want to buy.
Landlords don’t work hard. Owning is not a job that provides for society.
Massive overgeneralization. I know contractors that built houses and eventually built one and rented it out for additional income. This means they worked to make the money to buy the land and the materials and invested their own time in building it which saved them a ton on labor costs. Somebody moved into it and lived there (e.g. value). Somebody should report them to the secret police!
I sure am aware. And I’m always aware that the people who do those things aren’t landlords. They’re construction workers and maintenance workers.
Again. Sometimes that’s the case. Sometimes it’s a dude taking care of everything himself on the weekend.
The landlords take no such risk because the demand for housing is so high that any vacancies can be filled as quick as they like.
You’ve never had to clean up a house destroyed by drug addicts. Believe me they can do a ton of damage. There’s plenty of risk. No one in this thread understands that though.
Funny how “what the market can bare” equates to entire generations being priced out of owning a home.
I wonder if the macroeconomic factors could play into that? You know? Stagnating wages, a falling dollar, endless wars, cronyism, endless immigration, enriching Blackrock during the 2008 bank crisis so that it can single handedly buy more single-family homes than any other entity in American history. Nope it’s Jim from work that rents a condo.
They managed it as long as they could. Have you ever had a family before? You’re supposed to help each other. It’s what people have done for all of time.
All you’ve done is move the point I’m arguing to the building process instead of renting.
On which instance?
