I’m pretty sure all these tech companies want to research glasses so much because it’s the last real estate before reading your thoughts with a wifi hat. If it can track eye movements, pupil dilation, hear you, etc then it basically knows everything about you as a human commodity. Cell phones have tracking and browsing data but glasses offer your mind to advertising. Knowing what you look at, who you talk with, how you browse, what you delete before retyping a message, your bank pin, anything that you can see.

I’d rather have a Bluetooth earpiece with AI/google assistant/alexa thst does stuff when I want it. What’s the weather in 4 hours? Do I have anything in my calendar today? Where is the nearest gas station? I don’t want a chess winning butt plug that tracks my bowel movements and sells me toilet paper.

It’s the barren concrete taking up 3/4 of the view with a hint of lawn behind more concrete. Europe was built before modern vehicles and has narrower streets with more residential in between businesses and has some cobblestone and what not. USA was built around railways and highways so everyone has a car and walking was an afterthought.

Edit: additionally ever wonder why Europeans say how far a distance is in kilometers and Americans answer with “it’s about 25 minutes”? It’s partially that reason plus the physical distance is larger (some states are larger than countries) so miles mean less to us than knowing the time, post logistics.

Legit something a child would dream up. Let’s take challah bread or something else thick like it and throw some ketchup on and a slice of plastic cheese on top. It’s as much pizza as the candy spaghetti from Elf was pasta.

There it is in full, address of the godforsaken restaurant and all.

I would argue that nobody should own a home they don’t actually live in. All renting out does is increase the housing cost overall because nobody would ever operate at a loss or to break even. This is the issue people have with say, Blackrock who buys hundreds of homes at a time and rents them out.

Your family aren’t bad people but the business they decided to take up is inherently bad by design. If the law changed tomorrow saying all multi homes must sell to non homeowners, everyone would watch prices drop and be able to afford it.

Using homes as an investment is at its basics, exploiting a need by interpreting it as a want or practical goods. Homes are for living in. The housing industry views homes like commodities as if people have a wide choice and selection when it’s really “Omg we can afford this one that popped up randomly, we have 12 hours to decide if we want to pay 50k more to beat others away” and then lose anyway after bidding to Blackrock who pays 100k over asking.

Knowledge is evidence based and has certainty based off of repeatable observable data. Belief is educated hope, based on the unknown when compared to the known.
