Until we:

  • Ban buy-to-let mortgages.
  • Ban landlords from owning multiple houses.
  • Invest into social housing and ban so-called "affordable housing" lettings.

We'll continue to be stuck in this downward spiral.

The problem is, everyone in power is a landlord or otherwise benefits from the current system, so nothing changes and we continue circling the drain as a society.

A Razer product that doesn't work as advertised? Consider me shocked.

The 4-panel comic features Nano Shinonome, a robot girl from the anime Nichijou, leaving a positive message on 4-chan about Hakase (professor), an 8-year-old genius who invented and built her. Being a robot, she feels she can't morally click the captcha to show she's not a robot, and is therefore unable to post the message, despite that she wouldn't be considered a robot in this context.

That, from the perspective of Taiwan (aka the Republic of China) mainland China (aka People's Republic of China) to it's west is an illegitimate government that lays claim to lands still claimed by the RoC from before the revolution.

The majority of the space on modern games is taken up by high definition audio. Those thousands of commentator lines add up to dozens of gigs alone.

One day, one of these stunts he pulls is going to end up ruining whatever company he does it in, and I'm all here for it. Though we'll probably never know since he'll just blame it on something / someone else and his little muskettes will follow along.

So a random woman stole the items, changed her name to Turing a few years later, then 35 years later tries to loan the stolen items to a university pretending to be a relative? What an absolute nutcase!!

They will go through bone like butter. You need at least sixteen pigs to finish the job in one sitting, so be wary of any man who keeps a pig farm. They will go through a body that weighs 200 pounds in about eight minutes. That means that a single pig can consume two pounds of uncooked flesh every minute. Hence the expression, "as greedy as a pig".

Couldn't help myself.

The gender I'm not attracted to? What one is that? Let me know if you find one.

I see it as a shop manager doing what the police and the thief's parents never did and actually punishing him for breaking the law. We're not talking about a poor guy trying to steal some food to get by, he's taking thousands of dollars worth of behind-the-counter merchandise to make a profit for himself. You probably think "oh well they have insurance" but when the insurance company pay out thousands for the lost merchandise, who do you think picks up the bill? The 7-11 does. Who do they pass that bill on to? The paying customer. So theft from this shop is theft from everyone who legitimately uses this shop. Then when those people see that prices here are double what they are at the supermarket, they don't shop here anymore, the store closes and the community is out of another resource.

The way I see it, the shopkeepers are not bootlickers at all, they're ensuring a community resource isn't lost, along with their own jobs, and that profiteering theves think twice about trying to do this again.

I personally switched back to Firefox after 13 years earlier this year and was surprised just how easy it was. All my main extensions exist on Firefox and it gave me an opportunity to remove some extension bloat at the same time. Highly recommend.
