  • Yes of course there are actually a lot of differences, being a homeowner after renting for years I am very aware. My comment, partly in jest, was focusing on practical day-to-day differences. But also, getting equity in your house is actually not that big of a windfall if you sell, because you still have to live somewhere and the other houses/rentals have all gone up in cost to match. I suppose if I was to move in with someone… but I dont plan on doing that ever.

    But anyways yea fuck capitalism





  • Just putting it out there that “property owning” is not the class deliniator! I “own” my house/property and the only differences are that i pay rent to a bank instead of a landlord, and i can knock holes in the walls if i want to.

    I’m still pretty much paycheck to paycheck, squarely in the working class.





  • My family is an anomaly. We all get a long splended, holiday dinners are a real treat now that we’re all adults and have spread out because we rarely all appear in one location at the same time for any other occasion anymore. We have a longstanding Thanksgiving tradition and its allways full of laughter and joy, never any arguing!

    Years ago before any of us had kids, the 5 of us who are into videogames all played league of legends together as a team and had a blast.




  • The images are not actually the captcha. They’ve used other methods and tools to verify your authenticity, then they force you to help train their image recognition AI under the guise of it being the actual captcha. Its Distributed Forced Labor, and Google has been using captchas to do this for decades. Remeber the picture-of-two-words captcha? One word was always squiggly and the other was not. The squiggly word was the real captcha, the other word was from a scanned book and you were helping to train their OCR algorithms.




  • The context of this picture if I recall, is that it was a costume for a Halloween party… which if true completely removes the cringe factor of the outfit, as youre supposed to wear silly costumes for that. If Elon had an ounce of social acuity he would just own it.

    And even if its not a Halloween costume, I dont get the hate for someone having fun dressing up. There are a billion other reasons, as you mentioned, to hate him.

    Wristwatches are just jewelry at this point tbh. They’ve been rendered completely redundant by cell phones. The only people under 60 who wear them are doing so as a fashion statement.

    I’m sure a lot of wristwatch stans will downvote me but I don’t care I’m still right


  • Last I heard he lives alone in a mansion in beverly hills all sad and depressed in his piles of money that can never replicate the true feeling of human connection and friendship that he yearns for. I almost kinda feel bad for him, but then I remember hes only sad and lonely cause hes an asshole.
