Absolutely true, especially for small landlords. It can be a legitimate job, and as a renter it’s very easy to get caught up in the idea that everyone is just coasting and taking money once you have 2-3 very bad landlords. My current landlo

That it’s economical to hire somebody else to manage it while you both make an increasing profit as rents rise and have your assets appreciate alongside it really goes to show how extractive the process is and how much the cost of rent is i

The idea is that the person pockets a portion of the money that you make, where if you had the capital you’d be able to pocket the money. As rent increases, a mortgage doesn’t, and rent hasn’t decreased anywhere in a while, so the gap keeps

As an evocation of adding "texture" to a "flat" experience, I think it does the job quite well, and is pleasant to look at - it feels well thought out and crafted to me!

It still warps my brain, they’ve taken trillions of dollars of industry and made a product worth billions by stealing it. IP is practically the basis of the economy, and these models warp and obfuscate ownership of everything, like a giant

It’s easier to be principled when you can afford to not have to find work anymore. People who publically criticize tech billionaires tend to not have an easy time with that. There’s no way to know, as someone who doesn’t know the writer, wh

There’s a completely separate economy for property owners and people with capital than those without. The gap between the two is harder and harder to shoot. The middle doesn’t exist in a lot of places, and it’s mostly legacy/inheritanc

What gets me is the whole cost structure is based on practically free services due to all the investor money. They’re not pulling in significant revenue with this pricing relative to what it costs to train the models, so the cost may be com

Mark and the executive team seems to expect zero consequences for functionally betraying a lot of his employees, publically libeling the people he’s laid off as low performers. No respect should be paid to him in return.

I think of it as a marketing term to reduce social stigma, which was massive at the time because it used to be thought of as something for hysterics, invoking the imagery of men in white coats taking people off to the looney bin. What’s dis

What you’re describing is dissociation, if you’re looking for a word! Its effects are not as well known and it’s under-appreciated how common it is. Plus having 3 different societal definitions really makes the concept difficult to talk abo

Some fact or visual memory is as that, but our memories are also made up of sensory sensations and emotional states, and combinations abound. In fact, a big part of what makes PTSD is a split off different aspects of a remembered event beca

Here’s one - 90% of autistic teens w mood problems reported at least one trauma. 4x likelihood of having PTSD. Perhaps I exaggerated the totality but I do think the science is in on whether autistic people are more traumatized. https:&#x2F

In my experience, it can often be trauma that causes the auto immunes. Seeing everything from a chemical standpoint only looks at half the picture. It’s hard to find a not traumatized autistic person for example.

It’s plenty possible. Most of the framing that others put on people’s identities can be eliminated through kind interactions. The question is, do they allow that interaction or are they so afraid that they’ll never let it happen? Or, do the
