  It’s going to be a really shit 4 years. There could be a point of no return anytime along that based on a variety of issues, but IMO the most likely point of no return is if/when Trump moves to take a third term in '28. If that happens it’s clearly dead no hope.

  Because it’s buried in that Wikipedia article:

  Not a paradox. Tolerance is better viewed as a social contract - it’s not owed to those who don’t practice it themselves.

  If only it were so simple

  Exactly. That’s why I refuse to do algebra.

  Looks like a w to me.

  I think that’s the point? That even this couple who looks successful at a first glance still can’t meet the bar where a mortgage is financially responsible for them. America is struggling.

  In the 70s this couple could have easily owned two houses.

  Sure, they’re not poor compared to someone in an undeveloped region of Africa, but they are absolutely poor compared to their parents and compared to what is right/just/fair.

  And 30% is a sound limit for what you ought to be spending on your mortgage. This isn’t them whining about price, it’s them recognizing that it’s not financially responsible to wage-slave themselves for the sake of buying a home.

  Actually finished my first run of Baldurs gate after leaving it in act 3 over the holidays. Picked up Disco Elysium to give a bit of a break while I decide whether to do a second run or not

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's your favorite game that you will NEVER finish?⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Noita, kinda. I’ve won a few runs and unlocked most of the secrets, but some of the late game quests just get absurd to the point of taking dozens of hours and even with a perfect god-mode setup there’s still ways to get instakilled.

  I love a game with depth and secrets but noita definitely reached the point of “y’know, I’m not having fun anymore. This is just work”
