Add to this: every 5 feet you walk you have to watch a 5 second ad. I would actually not be surprised if that is a model in the future for hotels...

There is something people like about cocaine as well, but it doesn't mean it should be prevalent in society. You know what a good way to connect with people is? To go out and talk to them. Join a club, chat with a coworker about someth

To me the difference is that 1) you pay for hotels and you know exactly what the cost is 2) hotels provide a tangible benefit, mostly being the bed to sleep in. Social media often has this idea that it is “free” and so people don’t think ab

What if, and hear me out: we ditch the idea of a better replacement social network and just ditch the concept in general? Let’s go back to not being bombarded by ads every 3rd post, to not getting lost in massive echo chambers, to not doom

It isn't about the organization existing, but about the organization backing research that reinforces the organizations beliefs(which could totally be valid). It's like the sugar industry backing research that says sugar is good f

Cannot find where spouse dying resets the tax liability. If the outright owner passes away, that makes sense.

Who is forcing you to live in a SFH? Do we need to go confront them?

This is just a tax deferral, you will still pay tax eventually.

There are exceptions if you have lived in the property for 2 of the last 5 years.

I am generally getting overwhelmed with ads coming from every nook and cranny of life to the point that I don't even want to buy stuff anymore, for a lot of it its like: whats the point?

Because inflation was still anywhere from 6-9% on average, but was higher than that for things like housing, healthcare, education, food, and transportation. Holding cash is not "paying" anything, even though you can't see it

If you are looking to rental properties as an investment, the interest rate is a large part of the cost of doing business. If you think that you can make 10% renting out a property but the interest rate is 8%, that is a pretty slim margin f

It depends on a person's financial situation, from my understanding: if you have a lot of debt(which the average USA household does), you benefit greatly the more inflation goes up. If you have money sitting in the bank, you're ba

Maybe a hot take but I feel like high(er) interest rates for homes should be the standard. This allows for demand to be modulated, and puts up a barrier to rent seekers from flooding the market. The problem is that over the past 5-10 years

It does look like it launched, just googling the actual location for 'FUTO Open Repair Workshop' gives back recent activity based on reviews. Does not seem to have much social media follow up though...

Thought so as well, although it is unfortunate that I had looked at the work after knowing the context. As someone who has been doing photography for 10+ years and spent most of it shooting on a D800, these images are a far cry from the qua

Perhaps. The USA EV market outpaces Norway by a pretty large margin, and Tesla leads the US EV market in a similar way to Norway, I guess it depends on what data point is being looked for specifically. Relatively speaking Norway is a pretty

Any reason that Norway’s car brand popularity is a big deal in the larger scheme of things?

No one really said anything about shortcuts. Building maps of knowledge that have logical progressions and connections is so much more fulfilling than rote memorization. I can either memorize that the Iron Age came after the Bronze Age or I

Agreed, I would say once the threshold was crossed where people specifically sought out to buy 2-10 properties in different cities to make a business out of it, it was time to scale back. Renting a room in a place one lives or while one is

This is subjective…the market maker will say yes and the person that can’t buy air…well they will be dead.

I would be hard pressed to name an example of any truly 100% free markets. That would essentially be a place that has no taxes, no regulation, no control on production, etc…

I will say one example I had of this: I had a friend who moved in with me in a condo I owned and I gave him a healthy discount on rent. At the end of his stay he was getting kind of weird and essentially one day just disappeared and skipped

Of course on an individual level there are people who act unselfishly, on a group level you are not often going to see a herd that shows economic activity that goes against the grain in business transactions. Humans have gotten pretty damn

This is incredibly backwards: people on vacation tend to go to places to explore or be on the beach or whatever, they will typically opt for smaller spaces because a) it’s usually a place to sleep and b) it’s not permanent. People like hous

Again, if you read my comment, you would understand that I think it is totally fine that humans are acting towards what is incentivized. But for those that see this behavior as detrimental, it is no use to point fingers at the owners of tho

It’s very easy to go on vacation: rent from a motel or hotel, which is infrastructure that is in place specifically for vacationing. Go camping. Go rent a van or RV. Single family housing should not be seen as an investment vehicle apart fr
