I hate that idea. Respect every person, not necessarily their beliefs

I also don’t think he’s writing them, so you can consider that as well

I’m fairly certain that the last two books will be published close together. Grrm is well known for writing a chapter and then pushing it to the next book.

Walking on some surfaces is downright pleasurable. Dewy morning grass or a dry hard packed dirt trail for instance

They prop up prices in a lot of ways, the first one that comes to mind is extending the length of a mortgage. That makes housing both more affordable, but also makes the banks a lot more money.

We have all of our eggs in that basket. Also, I went to an affordable housing conference in 2018. At that point, Canada was in crisis. Prices are much higher now

Thanks… There’s a lot of reasons why this analogy isn’t going to last now because supply and demand is grade school economics. Check out all of the ways government is subsidizing construction of units. And how does it work when a company is selling units, but they have to have an increase in revenue quarter over quarter? They can’t suddenly sell for less. Otherwise stock price will fall and executive’s will have to take parachutes. Government doesn’t want all these companies to fail, so they prop up the prices. This thing is far too complicated for supply and demand economics. Anyone selling that has invested in real estate

Supply and demand doesn’t begin to explain Canadian housing issues. If I have 10 apples that i sell $1/piece, I’m not going to start selling them at $.75/piecewhen I get 30 apples.

Breaking a 2000 year record

Arcane is perfection… Ignore the base material. Just enjoy the show

I remember being blown away by some of the games back then, and also disappointed that it wasn’t a more popular console.

How horrible for this woman. Has a global movement focused on her being a ‘man’ despite being a woman

Am I incredibly jaded for thinking that’s a minimum for reasonability, and incredibly unlikely to happen

It could happen here, had an episode that talked about drone use in the middle east. They interviewed people that talked about how horrifying it was to hear that high pitched whine. I get that drones are having a moment, but that moments been going on for quite a while. It’s also not going anywhere anytime soon. There’s going to be countermeasures to the countermeasures.

And he still lost because he wasn’t vicious enough

Key point here is that he lost decisively to the pony tail, and was wrecked by Anissa. He momentarily held his own against a relatively weak, and past her prime viltrumite, and didn’t stand a chance against an elite like Anissa. @John_McMurray also makes a good point about Mark’s abilities.

However, I will concede that this is a piece of pop culture, and you shouldn’t have to be a big fan of the comics in order to understand why the cartoon isn’t inconsistent. THAT is bad writing.

Not like the people thinking he’s been saved by an act of god have much critical thinking skills

It was designed like that for a reason. There’s a lack of one syllable words there, and the ones that are there sound very different. It’s also used for messages that require precision that the average person doesn’t need in day to day life.

I had a similar thing happen to me. People saw mine, and pretty soon 5-10% of the office had one.

With a 95% certainty that it’ll happen before 2095.
