mortgage rates are climbing

This shouldn’t be cited as a bad thing with inflation where it is. Interest rates are the primary lever that the Fed uses to control inflation. When interest is higher, inflation cools down. When you lower them it heats up. Not that it’s that big a help when the price of gas is doubling because of *checks notes* an unending war in the Middle East that nobody asked for.

Constant, nonstop lowering of interest rates ordered by a fucking idiot from 2016-2020 (going to near ZERO) most directly caused the current housing price situation. Guess which idiot I’m talking about. That’s right, the same guy who has been trying to do the same thing for the past two years because when property values go up, so does his bottom line and nothing else in the world matters.

Maybe win some elections and don’t get ICEd before you start threatening people? Just sayin.

Yeah but Sceptre has plenty of dumb PC monitors on Amazon, it’s not like they’ve moved to the Smart TV game, they’ve just abandoned what simply must be an incredibly lucrative niche market for no discernible reason.

Edit: It could be something like their competitors are outbuying them on the screen front and they rely on third party screens.

Yeah they’re gone now. This is one of those things where I can’t get a capitalist to explain it to me. There has to be an absolutely monstrous market for this. So why does it go unfilled?

It’s true. There are a lot of articles like this one that go into more detail.

The country won’t be able to do this because, as strange as it is, 33% of it is literally in a cult that worships the man. Only with the true and full will of the country behind you could you hope to do what needs to be done: full asset seizure and trial for crimes and treason and whatever proper associated punishment follows.

But you can’t do it, because he fully controls 1 out of every 3 people you see on the street in America. While that’s far from a majority, it’s enough to make a proper accounting impracticable. 33% of the country would be going feraljak about the government being weaponized.

But even beyond him, there’s something else that desperately needs doing and that’s an overhaul of the Constitution. The document was fantastic for 1787. It is woefully inadequate to run the modern United States. Its biggest shortcoming, ironically, is the absolute inability of government to properly and deftly respond to the very success that it’s principles have brought to it.

None of it’s going to get done until everybody is so miserable that they no longer have anything tribal on their stupid, small minds. There’s going to have to be real pain, like starvation and suffering going on before real change is going to be able to be effected because people are still fat and happy enough to sit around and guffaw while Trump owns the libs, even as the cost of everything around them doubles.

You did great for a first-timer! I made two sets of very similar stairs and I was very proud of them when I was done. They’re quite difficult to do but when you finally get in there, like you said, it clicks. Hardest part was getting the stringers right, second hardest part for me was the landing, since I poured concrete and as you can see, I got it wrong by about 6 inches, lol.

This was what came to my mind as well, however Google does let you turn off your history for YouTube and when you do that (as I do) it just shows a blank page when you go there, so that’s one way it can be done.

Nobody does it because everybody likes to pretend they don’t like the crack until they have to go without. I do it on principle because YouTube has single-handedly changed a particular member of my family, one of the most innocuous people in the world, to someone who has loathsome opinions. I hate it a lot and don’t want that for myself. I am on no social media that serves up anything based on your previous clicking behavior.

“What you lose” OK, lol.

15 years later and the Photos app on iOS is still the same nearly useless pile of shit.

I’d say she did or he wouldn’t have been so mad. But really by default she would be declared the winner, because he’s fuckin’ dead.

It’s only socialism if Republicans don’t like it so bank, insurance and Wall Street bailouts, the military and police are A-OK! Everything else is dangerous and will collapse into communism and dictatorship. Particularly anything that does not protect and enrich the Epstein Class.

61% of the military voted for Trump. So this is my idgaf face.

Can’t skip the update if you don’t have any Windows installations.

I didn’t like Twitter enough to join it when it didn’t cost $20.

I hope this means that Shitter is starting to be in some trouble.

step by step…

None. I was never invested in it very heavily. I had one channel that I was a pretty involved member on but the whole “you don’t have to tell them how old you are, they’re going to use an algorithm and your usage patterns to deduce it,” I was just haha no, fuck that, and I quit.

Stop using Windows. Stop using Discord.

Yep. On it almost a year now, ever since 10 was EOL’d and I learned Discord was building a profile on every user based on usage.

Linux has been awesome and Discord mostly sucked anyway.
