I guess what I’m saying is that there will be no world war or genocides.

Then you don’t understand fascism.

Like, you really think I was suggesting that genocide is not that bad?

People suggest that all the time.

Buy range is important. The closer you are to their car the worse chances you have of escaping.

just not as bad as you think.

Genocide is extremely bad

think part of the problem is that what we refer to as landlording includes two separate roles: landlording and property management.

Agreed, 100%

That understanding and change of language will have to be a part of the cultural shift needed to fix it.

I think we would likely see landlords converge towards being mere property managers.

It would certainly help a lot. But after a certain point it would just be diminishing returns due to the aforementioned switching cost.

That said, you are fully correct that the non-zero costs of moving would still give landlords a little leeway to rent-seek, and I’m curious what solutions may exist to remedy that.

I think the remedy for that has to be a little more intentional than leaving it to the effects of a LVT. Corporations should not be permitted to own any form of housing. Multi unit residences should be co-ops/non market housing. If there isn’t enough, then the government needs to make more.

So individuals can still own houses, and medium/high density housing is still affordable/plentiful enough.

There seems to be growing sentiment (at least on the internet) to get corporations banned from owning housing, and that’s good. But it still needs to pass the hurdle of legalized bribery and our congress failing to represent us. A given policy has 30% chance to pass regardless of public support or disapproval. And policy that benefits the rich obviously has much better chances of passing. This problem within congress is a huge blocking point.

Regardless of whether it 100% solves landlording, I do think LVT and YIMBYism do largely solve real estate “investment” as the meme talks about. Since LVT and abundant housing stop the “line goes up” phenomenon, and LVT in particular punishes real estate speculation, I think they would largely, if not entirely, eliminate the phenomenon of people buying up land/property just to resell later after appreciation. Because, well, housing wouldn’t appreciate under a sufficiently heavy LVT and a strong YIMBY regulatory environment.

100% agreed.

A land value tax is an absolute must, same goes for the rest of what you’ll said.

But it isn’t a magic wand. The culture still needs to catch up, as many unfortunately still see being a landlord as an actual valid job. And even under a land value tax system landlords could still exist. Nowhere near as exploitative, but they’d still exist.

The concept of a free market relies on a hidden assumption that the choice between products is a free and easy one with a low switching cost. Housing is none of those things. It takes time, money, energy, you need to be able bodied or able to afford movers. If you have a job you might be stuck in a given area. People are heavily de-incentivized from moving, and that’s always going to be the case no matter how housing is made and distributed.

As a result, landlords will always have enough room to exist in a housing market, even if it is a land value tax system. So if by “LVT would fix this” you mean stop landlords from existing, LVT is only a stepping stone.

A VERY good stepping stone, but only a stepping stone.

True, but there is significant overlap.

Ngl it’s also just because femboys are hot.

And then you piss somebody off for not doing anything.

Try to put Programs such as Firefox , emby in startup of linux

Ignore me if you’re not still looking for solutions.

IIRC, some distros have a way to do this through the gui, some don’t. I’m on LMDE, and it thankfully does have a gui to set startup programs.

But all distros should be able to do this. Here are some a common ways:

Instead of a complicated script, your command would literally just be “firefox”, or “emby”. You might need to search for what the command for a given program is.

It’s nowhere near as simple as it should be, but it is certainly possible.

Nah, it was pragmatic. She was losing crew that couldn’t really be replaced. And she was on the verge of losing a very important crew member, Tuvok.

She wasn’t about to let that happen.

Act 3? The game bugged out in act 1 when Shadowheart tried to kill Lae’zel. It straight up didn’t show us the cut screen of them fighting, and defaulted to Lae’zel dying when we failed to stop it in a cutscene we didn’t get.

The end result being that Lae’zel just didn’t interact with the party for a month, and then suddenly drop dead, bloody on the floor after a patch.

Yeah. Luckily the work I am doing is to fix some really bad work that the entire company has been complaining about. So once it’s fixed it will hopefully be a little bit more recognition than that. Plus my boss is pretty level headed.

But who fucking knows? There is always the likelihood that people will say things along those lines. And it ain’t my job to fight them on that.

No, we have worse. Dates sometimes stored as strings, sometimes as datetimes, and sometimes as integers. There is no consistency, logic, or forethought to the schema.

It’s rough.

At work, I am currently dealing with a table that has no primary key, no foreign key, duplicate (almost) serial numbers, booleans stored as strings, and so on. It’s a nightmare of a table.

Entity framework is acting like I’m on meth for using such a table.

But don’t you dare call them fascists.

And if your electricity isn’t sourced from renewables, you’re just kicking the problem down the road.

Partially. With the exception of maybe coal, fossil fuel energy plants are more carbon efficient than an internal combustion engine can be just due to difference in scale.

The better option is to have it powered through 100% renewable, but it isn’t an automatic lost cause.

Conservatives/fascists are just gonna LOVE these next few decades. Climate change is set to destroy countless homes, displacing millions if not billions of people. If they think the “border crisis” is bad now, they’re gonna lose it then.

But the cost of that would far exceed anything remotely reasonable. I say fuck it, let the birthrate drop for a few decades. The planet could use the break.

Yeah, but with the shit show of a SCOTUS we have now, there are no guarantees. It’d be better to have a guarantee.

Lol. But YOU are the person telling me to vote lesser of Two evils.

I don’t see how that has any relevance to my pointing out how ridiculous the “what if everybody suddenly changed their behavior and did X”.

YOU are the one refusing to change for the better.

You’re the one abstaining from voting, therefore refusing to help make change happen.

I on the other hand am voting for candidates willing to bring election reform to fix the two party system issue.

You’re the problem. you are the reason 3rd party candidates don’t get enough votes

It’s an inherent bias in the FPTP election system we have. I’m not responsible for the inherent mathematical behavioral flaw in the system I never agreed to or created.

Am i being clear?

You’re being clear. I understand perfectly well what you’re saying. But you’re failing to understand how emergent behavior works.
