It means Trump opened his mouth and his thoughts came out: garbage.

Wait, are the three legs of the m secretly an l, i and g? That’s a bit on the nose.

From what I’ve read, 59% are born in the UK. The 36% is specifically the people who are white.

So it has nothing to do with being native, it’s about being white.

Probably. The guy’s a fascist.

I have no interest in whatever he wants to do to Linux.

A tree didn’t fall in the forest if you didn’t hear the tree fall in the forest.

I also have a quality butcher in ly neighborhood. He wins awards with his sausages, and has his own animals in fields with various farmers he knows.

Most people just get the cheapest meat at the supermarket, though.

If he hits 100%, does he automatically become president? I think that would be a cool rule.

Mastodon is not called Twitter, and the vast majority of people have no idea what it is, unfortunately. A Mastodon instance called Twitter would be a great idea, although I think Mastodon doesn’t support all the protocols like Friendica does. But Friendica is too unlike Twitter.

Maybe skip beef for a while unless you know the origin.

Shame. A new Twitter that supports all the open protocols would have been cool. Fediverse with a name people recognise.

What does the pneumonia have to do with the record? It now sounds like the pneumonia gave it extra toes. I’m moderately confident that’s not how it happened.

Do you mean the previous record holder? He was called Toby. Missed opportunity indeed to add an extra ‘e’ in there.

I can’t just switch to a cheaper house and pay less if selling my current one doesn’t pay off my mortgage. I’d still be stuck with the same debt, that I took on voluntarily and could afford to pay when I did. As long as that situation doesn’t change, nothing for me has to change.

I don’t think anyone simply stops paying their mortgage just because the value of their house drops. They stop paying because they can’t afford it. The 2008 crisis was because bad, predatory mortgages being pushed onto people who couldn’t afford them (and the mortgager then offloading that risk so unsuspecting investors will bear the risk of the predictable default).

This is a great idea.

That is something people focus a lot on, but far more important is: can you afford to pay it? As long as the monthly payment doesn’t change, the value of my house doesn’t affect me at all. The problem comes when banks suddenly want to foreclose homes because it’s underwater for reasons that the owner can’t control.

I admit I also feel that pressure to be more successful. I mean, it’s that or accept that I’m being taken advantage of. The people who profit from my work make way more than I do, so I try to position myself so I can get a bigger share of that, but I often wish I could just forget about the money completely and build whatever I want. It’s the unfairness of it all that’s eating at me. Can we just drop this stupid system and make sure everybody has access to a comfortable life?

I own property. I wouldn’t mind seeing its value halved if it meant everybody could afford a house.

Because that makes Trump and Hegseth look bad. Can’t have that.

Technologies have more protection against discrimination than people?

But surely there must be some number of wrongs that make a right?
