PoundSand posted:Without posting my zipcode I can say my city gets a ton of tech transplants from the PNW area for the exact reason of lower CoL WFH lifestyle, it's contributed to skyrocketing housing prices and literally every development is just small neighborhoods of 750k-1.5m to accomodate the transplants but it's no surprise they'd want to live here because it's basically no different from living in a burb in the greater seattle area except the col is a small fraction. You have all the typical dog whistles about safety/schools/etc alongside the average amenities most people would use on a regular basis and If you really want something more cultured we're a roadtrip away from major areas, hell I've been to seattle and back within the same day and it's not unreasonable. There's certainly middlegrounds between meth havens and a full blown metro area and that's where a lot of these people are moving. Ugh, but you have to live in East Wenatchee

galagazombie posted:Wait so I don’t understand the internet archive case. Wasn’t it already illegal to give out copyrighted material like books online? They were occupying a weird legal niche where they were keeping a single physical copy of the book and digitizing it for lending the way amazon does with kindle lending library The legally sticky part was where they were lending unlimited copies of the books simultaneously. It's kinda hard to argue this isn't just piracy tbh. During covid the internet archive kinda veered towards being an old school warez /  site. It's only defensible if you think copyright laws are bullshit and i don't think our legal system is generally kind to this viewpoint

Deep Dish Fuckfest posted:considering how 2008 led to widespread cases of judges kicking people out of houses on behalf of banks so quickly that some people who never missed a payment or didn't even owe a given bank any money got kicked out of their home too, i'm gonna go ahead and guess that as renter scum your odds of finding a judge that won't relish loving you over are pretty slim counterpoint i stayed in my house for 10 years without ever paying a mortgage because i was late one month, paid up the next and they sent me a check back along with a forclosure notice lmao. also whoopsie they didn't actually own the note they were forclosing on i stayed there so long the foreclosure fell of my record and i was able to get a new mortgage on favorable terms, at which point i just handed them the keys to the place that had zero maintenance in a decade and a rotted roof and laughed. jokes on me though all i was able to buy was a lovely suburbian detached SFH in a car depednant wasteland. you know, america.

At this point, I'm an accellerationist. I'm hoping that they'll enact even more strict and broad copyright laws. Then AI generated contents will be dinged every single time it creates something causing it to be de facto outlawed

that has some real good charts after acknowledging some spending for low income is offset by the govt subisidies (medicaid or whatever)     you basically have to be making over 150k household to not realize how much inflation is hurting. incredible thankfully those are the people who control our elections so all is well! mastershakeman has issued a correction as of 16:37 on Mar 27, 2023 |

I'm usually pretty jaded about this stuff, but "Why are you all so mad about your finances? Here is why I don't think you should be mad about your finances" is definitely one of the more infuriating takes to start showing up over the last year or two. edit- to be clear, not referring to this article, but to what the author is responding to
