@econ_robinson @SovietSlime @CantEverDie the issue is for-profit housing, not individuals. You're not gonna solve anything by going after individuals.

[Legathar @Legathar1]

@econ_robinson @SovietSlime @CantEverDie I'm not gonna define "gentrification" for you a second time

[Legathar @Legathar1]

@econ_robinson @SovietSlime @CantEverDie Of course! Redlining! Why hasn't anyone ever thought of this? We could "red line" these black neighborhoods, in order to signal to rich people they shouldn't buy houses there.

It's a wonder no one's thought of this before. It's such a good plan!

[Legathar @Legathar1]

@econ_robinson @SovietSlime @CantEverDie definitionally they're always rich(er). What do you think of my marking-black-neighborhoods-in-red-lines plan, to help them know what neighborhoods are majority black and thus should be avoided in the housing market?

The name's a bit unwieldy though. Could we shorten the name?

[Legathar @Legathar1]

@econ_robinson @SovietSlime @CantEverDie you don't want rich people to buy homes in black neighborhoods?

In order to make it easier for rich people to avoid buying homes in black neighborhoods, perhaps we could mark them with red lines on a map, as a sign to never buy a home there. What do you think?

[Legathar @Legathar1]

@econ_robinson @SovietSlime @CantEverDie person who's ok with gentrification as long as its not their neighborhood that gets gentrified:

[Legathar @Legathar1]

@econ_robinson @SovietSlime @CantEverDie no, that's what the definition of "gentrification" is: a richer person moving into a poorer neighborhood, resulting in prices rising high enough the original residents have to move.

[Legathar @Legathar1]

@econ_robinson @SovietSlime @CantEverDie if you're priced out of the neighborhood you used to live in, then your only options are cheaper (ie lower-income) neightborhoods

[Legathar @Legathar1]

@econ_robinson @SovietSlime @CantEverDie if you can't easily afford to live somewhere, you're going to move.

[Legathar @Legathar1]

@SovietSlime @CantEverDie This is my problem with the term "gentrifier". No one chooses to gentrify. It's a result of economic conditions that no one person has control over. Specifically, the for-profit housing market

[Legathar @Legathar1]

@SovietSlime @CantEverDie that's not true either. Gentrification is economic incentives pricing out upper middle class people from the neighborhoods they grew up in, forcing them to move into lower-income neighborhoods, which in turn forces out the people that lived in those neighborhoods

[Legathar @Legathar1]

@Yoosha64579993 @HellFire80085 have you heard of "alienation"? It's what you're describing and was a key part of Karl Marx's criticisms of Capitalism

[Legathar @Legathar1]

@no_values @vessdl @Kennichijou @HanaToHikari_ shit I confused him for Koichi. Point still stands for Part 4 and Part 6

[Legathar @Legathar1]

@vessdl @Kennichijou @HanaToHikari_ Jotaro was allowed to shine in Part 4, Part 5, and Part 6. Araki just has a favorite character

[Legathar @Legathar1]

@James_LastOmnic @ChazakielDoremi it's even even worse, because that's NOT how the stand even works. The stand does NOT turn you into a snail. It makes you *produce* snails that if you touch turn you into a snail.

The explanation is bullshit within its own world

[Legathar @Legathar1]

@roadtothemax @Yiga_CC @Estrogen_Storm I think it should be translated "Attack Titan". At first, you'd assume its a wonky translation that would be more accurately translated "attack the titans", but then you realize...

(I think preserving the pun/twist is better than having a more "technically correct" translation)

[Legathar @Legathar1]

@htmljones trans men really are the men of trans people

[Legathar @Legathar1]

@artdstuf I love walking simulators, but they're not horror. You need a genuine threat for horror to work

[Legathar @Legathar1]

@doctorotto68 @Playerinthgame I can't tell you what consciousness is, but I can determine a few things that consciousness is *not* .
Consciousness is not predicting what a conscious person would do. If I predict something someone will do and I'm correct, I have not created a copy of their mind within my own

[Legathar @Legathar1]

@fullslack_ they're saying that they believe it's the supporters of the apartheid nation bending towards less support, rather than the other way around
