No this is another housing bubble, similar to what happened back in 2010. My house is now worth more than double what I paid for it, which is more than it was at the peak of the housing bubble right before it crashed back in 2010.

But biggest difference this time around is the bubble has been intentionally accelerated by a handful of investment firms that have been buying up all the houses across the US for the past decade.

ADHD shares a boatload of symptoms with CPTSD and several other trauma based conditions. So it could just be that a lot of people may just be walking around with a bunch of suppressed trauma from their childhood.

We are going to spend billions on ad campaigns to tell you how committed we are to telling you we care about the thing we're doing that is wrong.

I have learned thru my years of gardening that wasps and hornets are a good thing to have around, not just bees. Not only do they help pollinate flowers, they are predators to some of the most annoying garden pests. I think I've counted at least 7 different wasp species in my garden this summer, they've done a great job keeping the larger pest populations manageable.

I quit my 20+ year career as a sysadmin about 2 years ago and started turning my backyard into a massive garden. I'm currently trying to figure out places to sell large quantities of hot peppers and I'm about to start selling matted and framed photos of flowers and wildlife from my garden.

Fuck IT.

I've been working on not saying "Google it" for quite a while. After saying it for over a fucking decade, its a hard habit to break. But I'm finally getting used to saying just "Look it up"

I saw one of those stupid motherfuckers driving thru my neighborhood the other day. That was the first time I had seen one in person and I have to say it was the ugliest piece of shit I had ever seen. All I could do was laugh at the dumbass behind the wheel for wasting their money on that monstrosity.

Also, am I the only one who remembers the old flash game from like a decade ago with a "cybertruck" that looks exactly like this that you bounced around the screen to kill enemies? I'm going on a mission to find that shit now.

Man, I quit my IT job 2 years ago and I haven't looked back. So glad I got out when I did.

I have to say that I was not a fan of her performance as JJ. While there were some episodes that definitely showed her acting chops, she is not cut out to play a superhero IMO. Most of her actions scenes across the series were painful to watch.

While you joke, that shit really is sort of stupid and has become so overused its cliche. Hollywood seems to think that breaking sound barrier is the only way to show their hero is flying really fast.

Nope, its actually China. Believe it or not, this is a legit martial arts training technique called "Iron Crotch"
