In 1998, who could have predicted that in 2025, users would be the lords of porn pop-ups?
Forcing the Eye of Microsoft to gaze my mommy milker daddy dwarf bangers is truly the quintessential example of that which is nameless in the Tao.
Oh I see I see it’s the stump has sprouts and they will maybe grow? That’s fantastic news! I wish the tree well. It’s probably wondering what the f happened. Hadrian’s wall is a cool place to set down roots. I hope the tree is stubborn as hell and can start a new life.
They were grown ass men. Why the hell would they kill a living being like that? Trees talk to each other and they live well beyond our human years. The local area belongs more to the tree than any individual man—they’ll be here for centuries beyond us if they are lucky.
People don’t respect trees as much as they do animals and I do think that’s wrong. We should be very mindful of how we treat trees. I think we arrogantly underestimate plant life.
I’m sure some dwarves would call me a dirty elf for my feelings on this but chopping down trees like this for no reason is painful. I hope they get everything they deserve.
It’s kind of insane right? I have more education and should be better off but…I’ll be honest my quality of life as a college student during the Great Recession was scary but it was higher quality of life than I have now. I don’t even have kids.
I never worried about whether there would be food in the stores. I’ve been worrying about the supply chain for 5 years now. It’s not that I can’t afford the food it’s that the food isn’t nearly the same quality. Most of the food we are getting here goes rotten extremely quickly. Herbs are bad in the stores. Tomatoes are bland and bruised. It keeps getting worse.
Rent is softening in my city. I’ve been watching the market. I’ve also been going to open houses and negotiating with the agents on rent to see what they’ll say and where they stand. Tons of houses in my area sitting for 30 days plus. My soft estimate is a lot of the rentals near me don’t get that it’s not 2023 anymore and they’re roughly 15%-20% overpriced. Many are lowering their prices 4.5% every 2-3 weeks until someone rents.
Also seeing overly hopeful pricing for sale too. Lots of 10k-20k price cuts. Some cutting 100k when they sit a bit. The average days on the market was 45 days in Q4 2024 (if my memory is correct). Which isn’t abnormal but the days sitting is trending up — houses starting to sit longer.
We are about to hit the height of the rental market and selling season. I wouldn’t be surprised if some people have to price their rental below their mortgage if they are renting a house they overpaid for in 2023.
Not really good news if you’re holding real estate in America. Could be good if you’re in an area that might get a rental correction. We’ll see. Doesn’t help the inventory crisis. Still need more housing.
PugJesus deserves their own statue at this point.
Yeah it was a breath of fresh air for maybe 3 weeks. Before the leaders got their claws in.
