@Tantacrul - are you affiliated with https://t.co/3VxRzyXggY? I'm amazed at how bad/scammy my experience with them has been. Their web interface is deliberately confusing and they refuse to give a refund for a service I clearly didn't intend to sign up for.

@devonzuegel This is Cohousing, right? If not, how does it differ from standard Cohousing?

@SethAbramson Conservatives say “we’re the in-group and should get better treatment.” Liberals response has been to say “no you shouldn’t” - but that implicitly acknowledges their framing. Calling them weird is saying “you’re not the in-group” and is way more effective

What if it turns out fascists are like boggarts and the correct way to deal with them was always to point and say ‘Riddikulus’

@bfwalter Just finished reading your book and I found it really fascinating! I’m curious where you think the US sits on the polity scale right now, and if you think that number has changed because of the recent Supreme Court rulings.

[JG @JamesGammon]

@SethAbramson Of course you’re right, but the unavoidable electability problem is this: the way Biden is perceived of as unfit for office (too old) is much easier for the average voter to understand than any of the myriad ways Trump is unfit for office

@oneunderscore__ Is there any chance it was sent by Ali Alexander?

@cctvidiots Some cows just want to watch the world burn

@elonmusk @EdKrassen 3. But the guys who moved fast and broke things don't need to care because they made bank and never face any real-world consequences for their actions. So it's galling to watch them be hailed as visionary geniuses when their recklessness hurts so many people.

[JG @JamesGammon]

@elonmusk @EdKrassen 2. The 'move fast and break things' period rewarded whoever was most willing to be reckless. In the short term it led to fantastic growth but now it's just breaking important things like Democracy, Digital Communication, and Starship Launch Pads.

@mmonacoCville Nice electric bike, hippie

@lilbadsnacks The tiny homes/no price inflation part is kind of impossible as far as I can tell, but the rest of what people are describing here fits

[JG @JamesGammon]

@lilbadsnacks This exists already - it's called Cohousing. I live in a Cohousing community in Virginia called Emerson Commons.

@Rainmaker1973 Honestly it seems unsafe that they’re moving so quickly, increases risk of mistakes

[JG @JamesGammon]

@Realfixitman21 @SaraHor76174949 I honestly don't understand this talking point. Of course weather/climate changes, that's not automatically concerning. It's specifically the rate and degree of change that's concerning.

@AGoldmund @mysweetlord @mungerem Audio Hijack Pro on Mac is a great option for this type of thing

@GuyDealership Well right, a large part of the reason some people spend $80k on a car is because they want other people to think they're rich.
