Tfw you see a bunch of big words and long paragraphs that oversaturate your capacity for critical thinking and immediately become a cultist tankie. Another victim of shock and awe tactics.

Btw the previous comment is sophistry in its purest form, calling that a “well laid out and good faith argument” is the height of irony

I complimented your name though. 3/10 is pretty solid, we can’t all have elite handles. And yeah they were bragging about inventing a lot of names so naturally I assumed there were alts in the picture.

Y’all are weird fr.

Perhaps you don’t recognize what it’s meant to sound like?

I’m a cutie pie

Because it’s clever and I like it.

Your handle sucks 😅. I could invent 30 mediocre usernames in a few minutes, it takes you all day?

Assuming you upvoted yourself, @mathemachristian is like a 3/10. So good work on that one I guess. Thatsnomayo is just abysmal though

Yes, apparently they were links to Tor websites according to clean_anion

I didn’t receive it. I’m going to send you a message and maybe you can respond to me more easily.

Edit: Ok nvm I see it. I thought you sent it on Lemmy, I see it on Matrix.

I removed those posts. But I am reluctant to follow the Tor links to verify that they are what you claim, for obvious reasons. I’ll take your word for it.

Sure

You didn’t message me afaik.

Also why does your edit have that number in parentheses?

Agree to disagree. Shutdown all the ski resorts in Colorado and see what happens to property values over the next 20 years. The proportion of land might be small, but the population and monetary influx is massive.

In order for housing to be expensive, people need to have the money to pay for it. If there’s no high paying jobs within hundreds of miles, and there’s no tourism money, the demand simply won’t be there and prices will fall. Again, look at the Appalachians and the Adirondacks for example. Ever since the advent of air travel, they’ve been steadily depopulated and economically depressed, as people from the cities prefer to vacation in more remote locations, such as the Rockies.

I should also acknowledge that a lot of land out west is owned by the government or other major groups, and that probably also plays a role. I’m not as familiar with the real estate market of Wyoming as I’d like to be. But I can’t help but dispute your assertion that prices are high because building is expensive. Seems like a tautology somehow.

If you’re building a brand new house you’re already outside the realm of affordability. In general, rural areas have an excess of housing stock due to the strong trend of urbanization over the past century.

Also, the fact that building in remote areas is expensive doesn’t contradict the fact that ski resorts drive massive real estate inflation in the surrounding areas.

It’s mainly because of the ski resorts afaik. But yes, that’s fair.

Absolutely. That’s true for mountainous regions in general. Lack of navigable rivers, difficulty of transportation, lack of farmable land, harsh climate, etc.

In the modern world we have developed technology to mitigate these issues so you have some exceptions, like the Alps and the Rockies to some extent. But historically, wealth was always concentrated in the coastal and agriculturally productive regions.

Bodies of water? Sure, that land can be pricy, although not in every case.

Mountains? Nah those areas are usually pretty inexpensive, at least in the US. Appalachia being a prime example.

Ah, the ole’ fiddler/diddler switcheroo.

The Diddler on the Roof does sound like it’d make for a captivating musical though. Shades of The Nightman Cometh.

Indeed, sorry to hear that

I think they were joking but they might just be old. Smacking the shit out of your kids used to be normal not so long ago.

I feel you homie. But honestly 50-100 years is plenty, that’s a long time to be alive. Based on what you said, you understand that this shit gets exhausting after a while. But then again, sometimes memories can be more enjoyable than the actual experiences. It’s very common that we experience things in life and don’t fully appreciate them until we look back in hindsight.

Mainly if you are physically healthy and able to live comfortably in society, you should enjoy it as much as you can, because most other people don’t have it as good and they still find a way to make the most of it.

To answer your question, never. I just wanted to do my own thing and read or play video games, it seemed better to avoid my parents’ attention rather than seek it out.

I already gnu that.

I’ll see myself out

Why does this sound so natural when I imagine it in Darth Vader’s voice?

There’s always Cannabis. I’ve heard the local wildlife loves that plant
