- Comment on Investors are making up the highest share of homebuyers in 5 years 1 day ago:
Yeah, that too, but my complaint is about the system that makes the rich while simultaneously convincing us to inadvertently participate in and strengthen our own economic slavery.
- Comment on Investors are making up the highest share of homebuyers in 5 years 1 day ago:
This isn’t the rich, that’s what makes it so sad. These funds are managed by vultures, yes, but these portfolios are quickly bundled and turned into financial instruments, which in turn portions of them are rolled into other funds, which in turn are sold to groups like teachers pension funds, or fractions sold on Robinhood using fancy names that disguise what is in them. These funds are sold not to the rich but to those trying to stay ahead of the meat grinder that is the American capitalist economy. The rich get fees that are completely divorced from how well the funds perform, meanwhile working folk are inadvertently investing in the same machine that is making it impossible for them to afford to buy a home.

Great shape for soup, scooping out ice cream, sliding your foot into a tight shoe, eating oatmeal and eating cereal.

Oh, you mean paperwhite ereaders. You can get those too. Android based.

I transitioned from a Kindle to an iPad. It just works better and you can get refurbished older iPads with an excellent OLED screen and warranty for less than a new Kindle in most cases.

My wife is Gen-X from eastern Europe (cold war era for those not getting the timeline). She was born left handed but that was considered to be such a bad thing that they forced her to use her right hand for everything. So now she has this mishmash where she does things she grew up with like using a fork, writing, etc. with her left hand, new things (teen+ years) like basketball with the left, and others like Tennis with both.
It isn’t that left handed people didn’t exist, its that they were “corrected”.

- Comment on Gen Z job crisis: Maybe there are just too many college graduates now 2 weeks ago:
Tech Executive for 20 years and in the industry for almost 30 here. If you are going into the technology field and are not loaded enough to go to Stanford or MIT, then I would second the “start at community college for the basics but graduate from a quality state university”. Most people don’t care where the diploma is from and NOBODY cares about your GPA. This applies to probably 98% of the jobs you will come across.
What truly matters most of the time is experience, flexibility, and breadth of knowledge. Make sure you do a tin of independent and well documented projects. A portfolio of your work is far more impressive than a diploma.
If instead of someone with a breadth of knowledge you are a specialist with a deep understanding of a single subject matter, then I suggest that you blog and/or self publish a lot of your work. Help people. Maybe build a community around your specific niche. YouTube etc videos about your niche is also a very good idea.
Finding work is much less about knowledge, because you are starting out and you don’t know shit, and a hell of a lot more about marketing.

- Comment on A lot of people make the mistake of thinking they have real life plot armour 3 weeks ago:
We actually are the main character. We can only perceive the universe through the data our senses collect. We are each a ghost trapped in a meat sack, standing on a rock, hurtling through the universe. You are wholly incapable of seeing the universe through someone else’s perspective. The best you can do is analyze the data you’ve collected to try to guess what someone else is experiencing.
