Yeah, stop the fat shaming!

Eat the rich!

I know there's some opinions on this, but I would consider this to be the case. Many people don't have so much pride in their origins to consider using a term like expat, then there's Americans, who's entire identity is based on where they were born.

So it makes sense that someone from America living in another country would identify as an American expat, while everyone else is just, immigrated to where they are. Not enough focus on what country they came from to bother with an expat definition.

Makes me think that American expats are looking backwards, while other immigrants are looking forwards.

🖕 peace among worlds!

Username is definitely relevant. :)

I would consider your comment to be far more truthful and accurate than what is pictured in the OP.

Have a good day.

Oh. Can I see the abstractly list?

Sounds fun

I agree that there is no expectation of privacy in public. This can quickly stampede into people taking pictures or video, in a public park or something that is now illegal to take, simply because of shit like this.

If you're in a publicly accessible space, or where I can see you from a publicity accessible space, there's no reasonable expectation of privacy.

This really isn't any different than him sitting there and watching from his window, it's just recorded.

Fucking Hamilton man.

To be fair, it's a pretty large home. I'm living with my SO, my brother and his wife and there's a couple of offspring that needed space too. Our house has ~5 ish bedrooms. Considering the number of people who live here, it can feel small. If it was just me and my SO, this would be humungous.

But that also means that we have four fully grown adults helping with the mortgage. So my share of the mortgage is around $1100 ish, per month, and we split most of the household bills, so I usually throw in about $400 more to help with that. I personally pay about $1500/mo.

My SO does the same, and we've encouraged my brother and his wife to also do the same. If everyone pays $1500 towards the house every month, we have more than enough to cover all the bills (electric/gas/water), as well as shared things like the Internet. Also that's enough to cover the house insurance.

I'm glad I don't live in America then.

Yikes.

Somehow I'm less than surprised that someone who embodies the free nature of the GNU project, is open to people having so much choice that they actively detriment themselves in their naivety.

Regardless, not a good look on Stallman. Very disappointing at the very least.

I understand his viewpoint for the most part, (not that I agree with him, I just understand him), and I would argue that psychologically, even 18/19/21 year olds often don't have sufficient comprehension of their actions to properly consent; the younger the person the more relevant and pronounced, this becomes. Combined with the trauma and lifelong mental suffering that many survivors have described, I can't see how, anyone, in good conscience, could possibly support the sexualization and exploitation of minors, even if they're 17 and almost of legal age. It's not a logical argument, it's a physiological, and a moral argument that must be considered.

Logically, he does have a point, where the specific age is less relevant; which I disagree with; but that argument does not hold up against the fact that morally speaking, there's more than enough reason to prohibit the activity for the psychological good of the children in question.

I appreciate all he's done for FOSS, but I can't support him as a person, especially not on this point.

I went from an apartment that cost ~$1250/mo. To a mortgage that costs ~$4300/mo. Just got the "privilege" of owning a home (and paying for all repairs myself).

I can only afford this because of the people I'm sharing that cost with. We're all on the deed, and we all have a stake, and claim to, the house. Four of us.

My payment didn't really change.

The only way we could get to the point of a down payment is that one of the four of us has been saving for something like this since they were in highschool. Because of their effort, we had enough for a down payment.

And I'm lucky to be in this position.

What a fucking crock of shit.

Despite all of this, I'm hoping the market takes a dive so the rest of you can do the same at a much more affordable rate. I've already spent the money and I'll be spending years paying it off. I didn't buy a house up objectively save money, I bought a house for stability. I never want to move ever again. There are good reasons for that which I won't get into. I promise that I will have ZERO issues if you all get a better deal than I did. I hope you do, and I hope the housing market, specifically the rental/flipping/"income property" markets crash, hard.

In the same way, I've paid off my school debt, I'm in favor of school debt forgiveness. I also enjoy pretty good health, I'm in favor of universal healthcare. I've never caused, not been the victim of a fire, I'm in favor of fire departments.

I could go on.

Good luck everyone.

The fact that they're not mentioned, does not constitute proof that they were not included in the statistics.

Thank you for your candor.

The little bits I've seen of it are almost putting an emphasis on the platformer part of the game. Very vertical, jump from one small platform to another small platform.... So what you've said tracks.

I'm used to platformers being like... Super Mario world.
