Been trying to buy a house because my rent is going up(and it will continue to do so) and a mortgage would be around the same as what my rent will become in a few years anyway so I figure I might as well build equity and have a house for my family....
I thought the housing market was crazy in 2020, so waited till 2021. I understood what crazy really meant in 2021 but ended up buying a house at the peak of the crazy market in 2021. Or so I thought. It was crazy in 2022, and it’s still crazy in 2023. What the fuck is going on?! At least I managed to buy before the crazy interest rates came by (2.875). I’m making calculations, and at the current mortgage rates, even if I buy a house for 100k less, I would still be paying more per month.
Yeah we knew someone who couldn’t get approved for a loan because ‘they wouldn’t be able to afford to pay the mortgage’ so they’re still renting, paying close to double as rent.
I am a Linux noobie and have only used Mint for around six months now. While I have definitely learned a lot, I don’t have the time to always be doing crazy power user stuff and just want something that works out of the box. While I love Mint, I want to try out other decently easy to use distros as well, specifically not based...
I used manjaro for a long while before I distro hopped and I think it’s a fine distro. Never had any problems with it. People keep pointing to the couple of times when it had some certificate issues. I don’t think it’s very relevant, and I only had positive things to say while I was using it.
Eh. Eventually one of them would win out. I posted the same link in [email protected] and [email protected]. The first one hasn’t had any comments where as the second one has more than a dozen comments. I know where I’ll post the next time.

Nah, people were always the same. At least in the past the oppositions were good so they had to tone down their shit (both sides). Now the dynastic opposition has become utter shit, so modi has no reason to be concerned or to slow down.
Because the opposition makes it so easy. Still clinging to power rather than stepping aside and letting a new generation of non Gandhis take the helm. RG has been reappointed as MP. Now wait for the annual ‘I’m quitting, no we reject your quitting’ ceremony.
Mallikarjun Kharge has been the president since October 2022, but Sonia Gandhi, who was the previous president for 25 years, still pulls all the strings in the party.
Anybody who follows politics even at a surface level knows both sides are in it only for themselves. I hate both parties, but I hate the ruling party even more, because they are a religious, conservative, right wing party. The opposition is not some big left wing party, but at least they don’t focus on identity politics but just work hard to line their own pockets. People who think about me like you said are too blind and want the opposition to succeed. That’s all I can say.
Opposition looking so shit is because opposition is one dynastic family hell bent on maintaining their power hold. The ruling party is taking advantage of it and is pushing its authoritarianism, fascism, and religious division without check. If the opposition truly wants to get better, they need to kick this family out. Simple as that. Instead all they do is theatrics of members of this family pretending to quit, and the others rallying to keep them in power. The only other solution is to wait another decade until this opposition party is completely irrelevant, and the third party (AAP) grow bigger and become the new opposition.
All BJP has proven is that if the opposition is not good, they will feel no pressure to change their tactics. Let’s keep the gandhis for another 100 years and help BJP build the fourth reich in India.
Who is they? I’m personally blaming the gandhis because people don’t want them in power anymore, but they still cling on to the party leadership. As long as they are there, inc will only help bjp become more powerful. Does the country owe anything to this family anymore? Anybody who deserved any respect have long been rolling in their graves.

This is the way. I want all places and all businesses to have healthy competitors. Businesses should not be allowed to acquire other businesses unless they have been operating in losses for at least 5 years. That’s how all this monopolistic bullshit will stop.
Yeah figured there would be a way for corporate greed to fuck over any regulation. Can you think of any amendments to my proposition that would prevent this?
As somebody who never bought into the VR hype, I’m actually pretty excited about apple vision. The portable aspect and the other qol features make me want to buy one. I feel like after a very long time Apple has entered the game late but made the game exponentially better. Let’s see how this pans out.
