Death to all landlords

[H @1zzva]

spent my own money fixing things my landlord refused to repair. he sent me this when my lease was up

An extremely relevant paper, given the renewed concern that wealth taxes lead to massive out-migration:

The Norwegian wealth tax "exodus", discussed in global media, never happened. At most 100 individuals left. Tax revenue increased by +71.5%. No changes in business activity.

saddest thing on this app right now

it's sad that some engineers will never have the pleasure of being absolutely ripped to shreds during a human code review

People always posting like "see this why I don't be eating out of nobody's kitchen" and this is something I have zero neuroticism about at all. I don't care if your kid was helping and licked the spoon. I don't care if your cat was on the counter. I just don't care even slightly

My radical take is that if you work full time in a town, you should be able to afford to rent or own a home in the same town.

one thing I’ve noticed from playing a few casual commander games is that a lot of casual players are less interested in playing to win and are more interested in watching their deck do The Thing Their Deck Does

BC has had the second-highest GDP growth in Canada since 2017 when the NDP formed govt (PEI was first)

BC obviously is not utopia — better is always possible

But Doerkson’s hate-on for BC’s very solid growth performance shows his mind runs on ideology, not facts

[Charlotte Chevalier 💙 💫🚉💫 @barely_th3re]

i have no ill-will toward Jarrett, but this perspective is everything wrong with our neoliberal system of power.

this logic is perfectly mirrored by those in the DNC consultant class, and its only outcome is to produce top-heavy, hierarchical transit agencies like MARTA, which are fundamentally, structurally disconnected from the needs of transit riders and exist only to pad the pockets of consultants, NOT to serve riders

[The Poetry Decider @Aliteraryshadow]

Just want to make it explicit again. " I refuse to eat inferior food!" is not in any way a rebuttal of " cooking at home is cheaper than eating out."

[lexi @grossbugthing]

at a&w canada, they squirt white "teen sauce" into "mama"[burgers]. a nation of perverts. and people still wonder why canada is being fetishized online

Twitter artists will never accept that the moment you start taking paid commissions, your art is no longer a hobby but a job. And when you have a job, you are expected to prioritise it. I'm paying you for goods and services. Deliver them, or give me my money back.

@forgebitz Of course how do you think the slop machine was trained?

[Roman Helmet Guy @romanhelmetguy]

Boomers paid into Social Security. But then the big bad govt (that they voted for) spent all that money (on them). So now they deserve to get their money back (from you).

I have SWE friends who work at places where management doesn’t know about AI. So the employees can complete weekly workload in 2 hours and chill the rest of the time.

I also have SWE friends who work at places where management knows about AI. So the employees are getting squeezed out by overworking and deploying new features while accumulating tech debt at the speed of light.

Take only possible from a non power user. Virtual desktops, windows subsystem for linux, and functional windows defender were all huge improvements

[DatNoFact ↗ (@datnofact.bsky.social) @datnofact]

Windows 10 wasn't good, it was barely tolerable. It just looks better in hindsight because of how awful Windows 11 is. It's all been downhill since Windows 7.

@missmayn The mob was interested in continuing the racket and private equity dorks are like locusts, they don't care what happens.

[ally @missmayn]

vegas is proof that the literal fucking mob understands consumer discretionary economics better than private equity dorks.

[Rail For Alberta @RailAlberta]

This is the reality of nodes and corridors that these "neighbourhood defenders" and now the province are trying to hide. The most expensive cities in Canada have put density on nodes and corridors. It's a failed compromise to appease homeowners that will never approve of density.

[Tom Parkin @TomPark1n]

Doesn’t mention person making $300,000 would save about $4000 and min wage worker gets almost nothing
