Suburbs are orders of magnitude less expensive than farms.

Guess what happens when you break up a farm into smaller plots that are affordable to families…

Farms are expensive.

Isn’t that the exact same argument for Twitter? If Twitter gets shitty, people will just leave? Because I feel like we’re not really seeing that.

Based on his merch, he’s trying to go 3 for 3.

Home ownership rate is about the same in Seoul as my city here in the US, and the apartment ownership rate is about 10% better, so they still have asshole landlords.

Apartments also make up ~45% of the homes in Seoul, along with multifamily housing accounting for another 38%, which is way above my hometown’s rate, so you’ve got a high chance of having annoying neighbors there.

Seoul seems nicer based on vibes, but not good enough. Try again.

Show me one.

why the fuck does anyone want suburbs lol

Because living in apartments with self-obsessed asshole neighbors and money-grubbing landlords sucks?

That’s kinda the “root” of the issue.

The metal is a material. It doesn’t get purified, it gets sequestered.

Just don’t forget the other part. Working on yourself does not mean making yourself more appealling to your desired partner pool, it means making yourself happy with life outside of your romantic pursuits.

“Cold-calling” women for dates in public is kinda sketchy in general.

Put the effort in to getting to know them first. If you are at a point in your life where asking random strangers for a date is your best game, you need to work on yourself.

This isn’t bashing you for not being handsome/pretty, or fit, or rich. You need to go out and do things that you enjoy, try new things, and find partners who enjoy the same things, then see if they are open to dating.

Also, mutual friends are the best for getting you a date with someone. It worked for me, and it can work for you!

Sounds like something someone secretly pro-hitler would say.

I’m really mad that they removed my external antenna. Used to be, you could get better replacement antennas for your phone, or even replace a damaged one. All it takes is one bump or jiggle the wrong way, and the internal antenna for your phone gets disconnected, and now you need an entirely new phone. Removing the antenna socket was a cost cutting measure for phone manufacturers that ensures you have to replace the device earlier. Remember your first antenna phone? It probably lasted 5 years. Modern smartphones get churned out every 18 months. They’ve played us for fools.

Rocket equation notwithstanding, there is the tyranny of development. Electric motors, rocket engines, ion thrusters… All of these locomotive technologies went through iterations. Even if alien scientist invented a warp drive capable of carrying an infinite amount of mass an infinite distance with no energy, there would still be a development process to implement and integrate that drive into a spaceship.

Technological progress, or the accumulation of knowledge does not happen overnight, it’s built layer by layer.

We’ve been looking all over for signs of life. Earth screams “there is life here!”

Legit.

I always giggle at the idea that aliens would come here in some super advanced spaceship.

Look at the spacecraft we’ve managed to land on other celestial bodies. They’re basically the lightest, sketchiest, life support boxes with a rocket motor that we can manage to get to the destination. It would be reasonable to assume that any alien out there reaching earth for the first time would either send a rover, or it would be the jankiest craft that could just barely get here.

Sam Altman is an alien in a human suit. Our AI sucks because aliens had to adapt their software to our crappy binary logic/architecture.

Yeah, I’m sitting here like “memes? Motherfucker most people didn’t have internet in '94”. The same year JP came out, everyone was distributing shareware copies of Doom on floppy disks.

Damn right I’m a T-Rex.

Which is why I have so much trouble with my phone.

No thumbs, and my nose gets in the way of me seeing the screen.

Every year, take the richest person and redistribute 50% of their wealth.

Working hard or smart doesn’t make you that kind of money.
