Keeping properties vacant instead of lowering rent. If you haven’t found a tenant within some set amount of time, 2-5 months or something idk, it should go to a public bidding process. Cities are full of empty commercial lots and half empty “luxury apartments.”
Americans are free to talk about how much of a Nazi they are but can’t talk about wanting non-profit grocery stores. Very cool.

omg why would a bunch of commies expect to feel safe at a republican convention? (Commies are people who me and my buddies have an excuse to bully)
I’ve been lucky that many of the people around me were happy to learn. I haven’t worked a white collar job yet so my work has been unrelated to the vocabulary. And people aren’t insecure or defensive about education because they aren’t payed to be educated. It was actually fun to teach the ones that wanted to learn. But I would also see lots of confused looks and so I lowered my vocab.
But I mean less terms like a-priori and more like flabbergasted or circumnavigate, pincer, dilapidated. Just higher reading level words that you might use in a description or as an adjective. nothing too jargony.
Terrifying. I was so stunned when I left college and realized how much I have to limit my vocabulary around most people. It made me feel distant from many of my peers.
This kind of oppression is so insidious and creates so much shame. Ive been following the tik tok of a ~35 year old man learning to read. Its been such a hard journey for him.
We live in a society based around the rule of law. People cant read the fucking laws. What the fuck.
Foucalt was right. If schools were anything other than prisons, the kids would be able to fucking read when they were done.
I downloaded freetube, is that one ok?
I had no idea there was a vanced replacement!!! 
lmao theres literally a movie about someone from the south being stranded in the north

It’s kinda funny to me that anywhere in france could be considered the sticks. You can’t go 5km without some kind of a town or village. Relative to apalachia or the rockies it may as well be manhattan.
I always thought it was corsica. What part of the north? More towards brittany or Lille? Or normandy more specifically?
I mean obviously it was always happening but this must’ve made it worse
Ugh I should probably try reading things 
The american expectation is to have meat with every meal. Bacon/sausage with breakfast, ham sandwich with lunch, then a roast or steaks for dinner.
Americans will literally view a plate of food without meat as a snack. Like, its not a meal unless there is meat. Meat is very inexpensive here because soy and corn are heavily subsidized. All animal products are roughly half the price of what they would be without the subsidies.
Elden ring taught me that I had to be calm when playing games. It taught me to know that I will be able to clear content, its just a matter of when. I used to think of games in terms of, can I clear this content? Now I think of games in terms of, how long will it take me to clear this content? I also realized that single player games aren’t hard. They are literally designed to be beaten.
I also learned that I play a lot better when I’m more focused on my body than the screen. I started bringing the same mindsets I use for sports into playing games and it helped a lot. It used to be that when I played games the screen was all that existed. Now I focus more on the pleasure of my fingers gliding across the keyboard, or just the contentment of experiencing my body doing something it enjoys.
Margit the fell omen and Godric the grafted took me like 30+ tries each. I beat blood flower lady on the second try (with mimic tear) and the final boss in maybe 6 tries (with a less powerful tear). I was beating bosses on the first or second try pretty consistently, like the starbeast things, ancestor spirit, dragonkin soldier, magma wyrm, and some of the crypt dungeon bosses.
I had put 40 hours into hades back in 2020 or 2021 and I probably cleared the game with no heat 5 or so times in those hours. More recently I sunk my teeth into hades and put in another 60 hours. In those 60 hours I got 100% on steam and was able to clear the game on +17. I also got through the first phase of hades on +32. But, I realized getting good enough at that fight to get through all 3 phases would’ve been rough. But regardless the difference in skill level was really apparent to me. It was so much fun to actually get constant story progress because I was actually clearing the game.
that is so cool! I’d love to try typing with it. I doubt I would want to commit to it though.
I still want to know what they are doing to scare them so much. Like, what did they say to AOC after her protest in Pelosi’s office? Or Mamdani after the primary? Like, its not just the 180 its how fast and abrupt it is. What are they saying to them, threatening them with?
