  • Oh, I’m certain God has a post-it note on his fridge reminding him of tasks to complete in Ohio, Earth.

  • I don’t understand. Doesn’t he wear like a men’s cowboy boot-type thing? What am I missing?

    EDIT: I see it. Never mind.

    1. Morrowind
    2. World of Warcraft (2004-2007)
    3. God of War (2018)
  • We live in a time of most access, most abundance, and most peace. Even if you’re doing it tough, you still have it better than most humans in history ever have.

    Relish in that because it probably won’t last. We could be remembered as the 2 or 3 generations to ever live in a golden age of resources, space, health, access, opportunity and freedom.

    I often eat a meal and look at my plate and think… the components and flavours on this plate alone come from 5 or 6 countries, while I’m sitting in total safety and comfort, while also being entertained in some way, and if I want I can immediately talk to my family or friends, who live 3,000kms away, who I know are all alive and healthy.

    Some of that wouldn’t have been true two decades ago. Probably none of it would have been true for people 100 years ago. Probably most it won’t be true for people in 100 years.

    We really are in the sweet spot.

  • Blocking a handful of something hasn’t worked for me. I must have blocked about 100 anime/furry porn sites and I still get a dozen every day in my ALL feed.

    Even when I sort HOT, they still come up constantly with no comments and no upvotes.

  • Housing prices, like everything, is determined by supply/demand. Interest rates are only part of the equation.

    The main reason housing is high right now is because of the supply side, and that’s low at the moment because COVID destroyed the global labor market and the supply chain, so materials are sky-high, with fewer people to do the work of building.

    Also, as the stock market tanks people move their money into safer places, like cash or property, hurting the supply side even more. This is what cashed up Boomers are doing (yep, we can keep blaming them).

    Housing prices won’t come down until supply outweighs demand.

  • ITT: few people having any clue what the difference is between good and bad debt, or that debt is basically essential to creating wealth.

  • Investment mortgage debt is good if it contributes to tax deductible claims. Owner-occupied debt is good if it’s managed properly. Both are good because you own an appreciating asset.

    Credit card debt is good if you don’t hit payable interest, leaving your money to work for you in other ways.

    Commodity debt is good if the market swings in your favour.

    Business debt is good if it results in surplus revenue generated.

    Education debt is good if it’s contributing to future and higher employment gains.

    Basically all debt is good if it’s managed properly and results in a net gain somewhere.

  • Not worth it. I had Disney+ for the last few years and of all the streaming sites it had the least in its catalogue and the least rotation of new stuff.

  • Should I add garlic to carbonara recipe+absolute answer only

  • Boar (2017). It’s so bad, it’s good.

  • Ooh, look at you all brave and shit. You looking in the mirror while you write this?

  • ”Those of us on KBIN are…” Haha, shut the fuck up.

    You get an auto upvote when you post. I didn’t downvote him. Think before you speak, you Magic the Gathering-playing dickhead.

  • You got me.

    Now don’t forget to downvote me (you can keep your upvote).

  • Because the people put into these Voice positions will be Elders of Indigenous communities.

    And since I personally worked on the 2013-16, $10M Indigenous communities research project for utilities connection and communication strategy, I know that 11% of the people in those communities are literate and the data point for tertiary-level education was so low it was rounded to 0.

    To communicate the process of utilities connection, it was determined to best use pictures, which is still the strategy today.

    Any more questions, hero?

  • It’s likely 100s of jobs for life, with government pension added at retirement. Math that out over 25 years and it’s somewhere around $500 million dollars.

    If my tax dollars are contributing to $500M in my lifetime, I want it going to people with degrees and a fuckton of experience.

    The last time we let someone into politics with no experience and no degree, we got Pauline Hanson. I’m not voting yes to 100 more Pauline Hansons.

  • I’m voting ‘no’.

    If you want a job in politics with a $200K salary, earn it. I don’t care what colour your skin is.

  • Ahh, fair. I got some WW1 and WW2 details mixed up. I’ll edit so I’m not feeding false info.
