All of these so called anti fascists sure do seem excited about a fascist being elected

It's more illustrative of how liberals and progressive consistently suck at messaging and voter outreach because they are always hedging, equivocating or focused on negativity.

No wonder voters don't engage with that messaging when it's pretty apparent that even the most enthusiastic progressive barely gets out of bed to advocate for anything other than the new outrage of the day. And I'm not just pointing fingers here - I am definitely guilty of this myself.

We only get to see John King slowly get drunk on live TV once every few years.

Just stop doing it. You won't quit until you really want to stop, and then it's actually kind of easy. You hear this from a lot of people who quit, that all the circumstances and programs and nicotine substitutes are kind of secondary to the mental aspect of it.

You can actually see genetic pressure away from adult lactose intolerance in populations where milk and cheese are historically consumed

Right but you then control the appreciation on a much larger asset. In terms of pure net worth and net present value, trading up is a huge gain even if it doesn't generate more short term liquidity.

You can also rent out the smaller place and get both cash flow and NPV upgrade.

No rich person is living in a 325k ranch house.

Not that this is "ok" but it's why "buy whatever you can as soon as you can" is good advice. If you'd put whatever you had into a shitty condo four years ago, and kept saving at the same rate, you'd likely be in good position to trade up soon.

I see a lot of people I know end up in the same position because they've been waiting for either the exact right circumstances or for prices to "crash." All the people i know who started with anything they could afford now have a huge amount of equity in nice homes. The difference is real and primarily about timing more than income or location.

Lemmy has some of the most obnoxious Dunning Kruger shit on any social media platform, especially when it comes to politics.
