This is advanced.

Maybe if I can expand it into a song-length set of lyrics, it’d be worth hearing it as a straight-up evil cultist chant, but I think it’d be a lot of fun to play it for laughs ironically as well.

Shame on you for trying convince me that’s new

Untested CHIMicals

Why, did they make new worse apples?

If you’re afraid I’ll fail “no-fap November”, please be assured that was going to happen no later than Bonfire Night

Exactly. The fact that our kids can look different from us at all is fucking wild

Wank me up when November ends

God that’s hilarious. I probably wouldn’t buy it but I’d definitely threaten to buy it for laughs

It’s all there so the DNA can make more DNA, if you’re serious about reducing humans to their most meaningless components.

How long did that take?

I know a guy who lives in a condo like that in Seattle, apparently the building is managed as a co-op. I think it’s a model that has promise in urban settings or in more remote work zones, an idea I really like by the way. As soon as remote work started to become feasible at scale I started asking myself when you’d start to see a flight from cities.

I think a lot of people are really set in the mindset of wanting to live where stuff happens, but I could see a case for housing developments in cheaper areas geared more towards young parents - build what they need and maybe a train into town, and there’s no reason it couldn’t work. People still want to have kids, but it has to be made more economically realistic.

Combine that with tiny houses, wind and solar development, all mixed in with allotments, and I think you could make a case for that as a development model that works. It’d be really spread out, but it’s hardly as if a place like Australia lacks room. Run trains and trams through it, and you’d hardly need that many roads even.

Sidebar - I wish others wouldn’t downvote people I’m just trying to have a normal conversation with. Makes everything feel needlessly strained and rude. It always feels like people are crowding around trying to make simple disagreements into fights, doesn’t it?

Other than getting private equity out of housing (easy answers first, shadow banks shouldn’t own houses) it seems like we should be able to come up with a way to create a lot more highly basic housing at high speed and minimal cost, even if the housing was a bit brutalist it’d have a cooling effect on the cost of mid-range homes.

Of course, at some point we butt up against the fact that when your economic system treats real estate as an investment, you can’t also undermine that subtle class system without damaging your economy. At some point the way we do things just depends on a maximum sustainable amount of suffering to keep the markets ticking along.

I’m aware that I’m essentially calling for a global restructuring of society when I say this, and I’m used to the fact that it’s not likely to occur.

Glancing at the first numbers to come up in searches, it seems like there are about 3 Aussies for each residential dwelling currently in existence. It seems like there’s already about enough to share, if these weren’t unequally allocated. Just saying!

Rookie move, I never feed my void junk food and booze. Save it all for myself!

It’s frustrating how there’s no way to say “anything people need should be provided free or at-cost” without sounding like a loony radical, but it’s true.

If businesses could figure out how to make you pay for the air you breathe, it would come in a variety of qualities and flavours, and I would have been banned from r/air long ago.

The profit incentive can barely even be trusted with stuff we don’t need. Never let necessities turn a profit.

You’re right, I’ll stay excited for whatever the TESR team do with it, eventually. Something to look forward to in retirement.

That’s fine honestly. It’s free to hate them while they’re spending several years not making it, but once it’s out I’ll have to start hating the game.

Was there a new one? Or do you mean the picture of mountains that they showed back when there was a baby in my life?

Honestly I’ve never heard anything more Charlie Day in my life
