Also, does everyone have to have a shitty time because you did?

Literally putting words in my mouth.

I'm in my late 30s. Regardless that's a bit of a leap on your part to suggest that sharing my experience is invalidating others. It might be somewhat invalidating the narrative the article is putting forward however, but that's probably warranted.

Point is that this has been a problem for a long time. Is it worse now? Sure, rents are even more insane than when I was growing up and pay still sucks. But needing room mates was a thing for me and the majority of my friends growing up.

This isn't a new problem like the article seems to suggest. Also historically there's a greater precedent for people living in shared spaces than not, if we're being fair.

I mean.. I couldn’t afford my own apartment until I was in my late 20s and all the places I lived in until my 30s were shitholes.

Yeah the fact that he doesn't have a lawful reelection to consider is concerning. Also concerning when you think about the fact that he clearly thinks being the president shields him from a lot of legal ramifications.

So he doesn't have to temper his behavior to get reelected in any way. He has a shitload of grudges. Pursuing those grudges would likely be various shades of illegal. He thinks staying in office will protect him from the consequences of his actions. That is a recipe for a constitutional crisis if I ever saw one.

True Pianos is a really solid piano VST by the way. It's been years since I used it, but it was really good back when I was dabbling with this stuff.

Found this data for people who got the booster. Basic takeaway is that rates for the booster are low in general, but especially so for the south and a good chuck of flyover country.

I would guess then that we're gonna see infections spike in southern states come January. By then it will be cold and Christmas and New Years will have happened.

Edit: found a map covering more than just boosters. Same apparent trend overall as the booster map.

I think the big problem is the duration of copyright. That it's so much longer than patents is pretty hard to logically defend.

Yeah the app is bloated as shit

I use sheets in Firefox literally every day.

It's also asking way too fucking much of the average person. Running multiple fediverse instances is basically a hobby and I barely have time for the hobbies I already have (and actually enjoy). It also is probably at least $100-200/year extra financial commitment in hosting and I'm being conservative on that number.

I'll stick to using existing instances, tyvm

Didn't work for PIA either on their China endpoint either

There's plenty to dislike their government for, but to write off all the artistic output of that country is just plain racist.
