Yeah, this place is getting hit by California's delusional housing bubble hard... still cheaper than California, but I was around someone the other day who just casually remarked, "Oh, I'm paying $2000 rent," as if it was nothing.

I definitely wouldn't recommend living here. I'd move to the midwest if I could. Probably regret it, but at least I wouldn't have been stuck... here forever.

You'll just have to find the people who are already there, whether or not they're queer.

That's who you have to work with. Dunno what to tell you. Maybe join their church?

That comic's a little dated. These days they install bars on benches to make sure no one can sleep on them. -

It is the web interface. If you enable "slow mode" it doesn't auto-load new messages, but pops up a thing that says "X new messages" for you to click on. Still kind of jank, but more tolerable than infiniscroll hell.
It's under "Preferences - Appearance" near the start.

My grandmother used to have to, Depression era and all. When my mother was born, she was told that darning socks was a thing of the past. The only thing she was allowed to do is say "oh darn!" and throw it in the trash. She kind of internalized that, with a strong desire for the appearance of prosperity. But I didn't get the neurosis, so I'm back to not wasting stuff purely to show off how not-poor you are.
However I have had no experience or instruction in darning socks, and it terribly upsets my mother when I try to wear old "ratty" clothing, so I don't usually make an effort, unless they're handmade socks or something. -

Sorry, I shied away from that place in the great Tumblr purge of 2018. -

That seems... very wrong. Not that wealth taxes work, b/c politicians will always refuse to pass wealth taxes. But uh...
The economist’s answer is simple and essentially fool-proof: allow each owner to declare the value of his own property, make the declared values public, and require that an owner sell his property to any bidder willing to pay the declared value.
Why yes my name is Peter Thiel and I only own this rock here. What? No I haven't hidden any wealth away. Surely! Anyway here's 300K I found in my pocket just now. Give me your house, the law says you have to give it. You can rent it back from me for 3K a month, though!
What's that? You proved (somehow) that I own your house, and you want to buy your house back? OK your house is now worth 13 quadrillion dollars. You wouldn't happen to have that much money, would you?
Oh it's tax day? Look whose properties just went down to 13 cents apiece!
Fact is, you can't make a system that cannot be gamed. Nothing is fool-proof. You either make friends, form alliances, and work together because you like each other, or you get robbed by the rich.

The way to tax the wealthy is to get everyone together and forgive all debts, and go and take the wealthy's property because fuck them. Generally it involves heads on pikes. In all of history, every attempt to do it legally has always ended up with the wealthy getting richer.
You can't tax the fascists out of power.

I mean except for peaceably assembly, and petitioning the government for a redress of grievances. But the US gov has violently cracked down on those since 1791. -_-

Think unions, protests. Vietnam. Oil pipelines. 16 years after the first amendment, the government was all ready to trump up charges of coercion, violence, and conspiracy to destroy the first union in the USA. The whole thing about road and foot traffic is also about false charges. They're blocking a road with no traffic? Oh no they're blocking traffic!
"or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, except if it blocks traffic" - the USA Constitution -

Peaceably assembling people ARE traffic, and if it's hard for them not to block the road, that means there are many of them, which means what they are protesting is legit and shouldn't be suppressed. Laws against blocking traffic were established to crush unions, by enabling scabs to cross picket lines. If you're filling the streets, then you have more right to be there than the sellouts trying to stab you in the back! -

So you're saying every time I make casual conversation with a blind person, I'm coming off as some kind of genius socialite far above the mere mortal? -

Because sitting there staring at the wall, waiting for the powers that be to come fuck me up the butt is boring? I need other people to help keep me grounded, and make me feel less like I'm surrounded by uncaring strangers. It hurts my blood pressure, shortens my lifespan, and disempowers me to try and be alone all the time. There's also the fact that all these years of loneliness meant I don't get to have any kids. People need social stuff in order to have kids, among other things. -

Well, invalidate my trauma all you want, but it doesn't stop me from craving social contact, even if you happen to be above such matters. I'm dead if anything goes wrong, there's no one I can turn to. That's how it feels, just constantly.
