Isn't that a password manager? It also does credit cards? Maybe I'll check it out

The main thing I miss is auto fill. Firefox's auto fill for credit cards kinda sucks (often misses fields), and I don't think it auto fills addresses.

Your argument assumes there's no utility in renting, which is simply not true. A house is a PITA to maintain; stuff breaks all the time. Also, moving when you own the place is much more difficult, and some people value the flexibility of being able to hop from one part of the country to another. If we rewind 12 years, back before rent prices and housing costs went batshit insane, it was a perfectly reasonable option to rent instead of own, even if you could afford otherwise. Rent was basically paying for the service of not needing to maintain a building and not locking yourself down.

Those with investment properties and those with no property. One class above another. You're just using billionaires as a shield. You want to put yourself in a class above other people.

Do you realize how much money a billion dollars is? One class above another, like a walk up a hill -- and then the billionaire class is on a fucking space station. Again, I'm reminded of the Oreos meme.

And yet again, owning housing does not indicate wealth in a "normal" housing market, so your supposed rent/own class division isn't even true. Very wealthy people can still be renters. Or do you think "landlords" can afford to rent a penthouse in Manhattan?

And the "I don't want to work until I die" should be covered by social insurance/social security

Well it's not. So make that a reality before attacking people for trying to better their situation.

I think the reason is "I don't want to have to work until I die" actually.

Investment property is one of the few remaining ladders of social mobility. Does it suck that it doesn't extend down far enough? Yes. But removing it as an option just further widens the gap between the billionaires and everyone else.

Where's that meme with the oreos

Why are we giving these two attention

Well maybe if, when you were in high school working at Burger King, you put just a smidge more effort, just a pube's worth more effort, into sweeping that floor, a senior VP at Boeing would've walked in and seen you, and said "Hey kid, you've got a great work ethic. Want to be a manager overseeing the new plant?"

But you were lazy. You were putting in only 50 sweeps per minute when you could've clocked 75 spm EASY, and the SVP knew that, he saw that in your posture, so instead he just said to you "Hey can I get a napkin", and because of that lazy entitlement, WITHHOLDING those 25 spm from your employer (God bless), you missed out.

And that's just one example of millennials being entitled, really it happens all the time. And Gen Z, they don't even fetch the napkins, they just point to the dispenser on the counter, where it always is, and so there's no really no chance for them at all.

All about slashing Z's

• A refillable oil sprayer so that you can buy any oil you want and evenly coat a pan. Great for searing and air frying

What kind do you have? I bought one off Amazon and it was dogshit

Ummmmmm where can I watch this?!

Holy crap I forgot about Pern. I read a few of those in middle school and remember liking them a lot

was settled by the courts in 1824.

Nothing is "settled" with the current Supreme Court.

Like god the US invaded Iraq, isn't that authoritarian? Isn't everything political authoritarian? you really think you got something special?

Isn't it neat how we can talk about the US invading Iraq? Isn't it neat that I live in the US and can openly criticize the Iraq War?

Now compare that to living in China and talking about Tiananmen.

Oh, but that would mean the website is just providing you information. That's not the goal--we need to fingerprint your browser, track you, and serve you ads. Quid pro quo -- if you want to know this recipe for cookies, we need to know your purchasing behavior for the past six months. Btw, can I use your location? How about notifications, can I send you those? And for the best experience, you really should be using the app. It's actually just the website wrapped in an iOS/android package, but it lets us track you more effectively. Thanks!

Glerups. Greatest slippers I have ever worn.

"The economy" is supposed to represent how ordinary people are doing, but now it's just targets and figures.

Also doesn't help that wealth inequality just keeps compounding...

Which is true.

So I don't really understand your point I guess.

Yes. But have you seen the Republicans

Um, ok.

Is there an aspect that you think is untrue?
