  • They can't hold out forever

  • Yep. Everyone hoping for a crash or collapse has a very narrow view on the situation. It should be easier to profit by adding property onto the market and harder to profit off holding onto them.

  • Texas official warns against “measles parties” as outbreak keeps growing

  • Take gutting the FDA for example.

    Developing drugs is EXPENSIVE. If that gets a whole lot cheaper (and far more unsafe) they might actually look at developing some drugs that wouldnt have been likely to have a good ROI before but might now.

    Its not impossible that massive deregulation could lead to advancements.

  • The $500,000 house will be $250,000 but the 6% interest rate will be 24% and the 10% deposit will be 25%.

  • At this point my biggest hope for the Trump administration is for some "Happy Accidents" that wouldnt happen in a safety oriented world. We might make some really cool discoveries that we otherwise wouldnt make because so much wild shit is going to happen that statistically speaking some of them have to be positive.

  • It's working out great so far

    Jump

  • Nah then you get to the fork in the road meme where its either depression or "working out"

    Most of my gym buddies are either people who were fit their entire lives and this is just their happy place or people who are there because they need to have an addiction and this one doesnt kill them slowly.

  • How to get a 5 yo started in (useful) computing?

    Jump

  • Ok, Ive just started doing this with my daughter. Im using windows because I know it.

    Find a few of their "favorite" websites with games. Sesame Street, Paw patrol, whatever their poison. And put them in the hotlist.

    "You want to play some games?"

    Then they have to chose their profile, put in their "password" open the browser, and pick from their hotlist and work on basic mouse skills. Also get a TINY wireless mouse, it will make their life a lot easier.

    My daughter and I also played through Grim Fandango, Curse of monkey island and just started on the Sam and Max games. All point and click puzzle games. Those are a bit hit and miss on the attention span but I read the walkthroughs before I suggest we play so I can guide the process along.

  • What did you do with it? Because you sure as fuck havent cooked any of it.

  • What movie is in your top list despite its absolute shit rating?

    Jump

  • I like the White Men Cant Jump remake.

    I actually think that theres some movies that SHOULD be remade every 15 to 20 years. I would watch Major League if it was remade every 5 to 10 years. New city, new cast, new jokes, new location, callbacks, subverting expectations... but same premise a shitty baseball team needs to get better or else. Give young up and coming actors an excuse to have fun, ham it up, play a wacky character.

    Hell make it a punishment for being the statistically worst team for the season that they make it. "Sorry Boston but... you really ate shit this year..."

  • Volunteers are a double edged sword. At some volume of users and content it either needs to be a huge team of like minded volunteers which increases the likelihood of ye power tripping bastards or someone who is paid to do it and spend the time with rules to follow.

  • Damn right, I'm only on Lemmy because there isnt a better alternative, not because its great.

    The sad fact is that for social media to not suck you need moderation, for moderation not to suck they need to be paid mods, which means it has to make money somehow, which either means adds, subscriptions or mining user data...

  • Ye's website is selling swastika shirts after boosting its profile with Super Bowl ad

  • DAE feel a bit out of the pop culture loop using Lemmy as their primary social media?

  • Watch for the enormous shit eating grin behind the microphone when he says "Hey Drake" on stage.

  • Rock Bottom

    Jump

  • The "fall" is comparable not the magnitude of what they did, mostly because Cosbys shit mostly came out 20 years after he stopped being culturally relevant.

  • Rock Bottom

    Jump

  • Oh very much so, but when someone with his means and access to treatment options keeps going off the deep end and ranting about Jews and how some black people must have wanted slavery. It reduces my sympathy.

  • Rock Bottom

    Jump

  • Cosbys fall came so long after he left the spotlight, for younger people the connection isnt there.

  • Kanye is definitely up there. Because I hate so much about what Kanye has turned into... his music is just so, so fucking good. For all his personality faults (Or diagnoses... I dont think we will ever know for certain) the man is a musical genius.
