Oh. I thought you meant

Nice. I've been meaning to learn it at some point.

I think there's an extent that many people don't have much taste*, but also a sentence or two is no way to judge the quality of anyone's writing as a whole.

*This really comes to the fore with image generation, where a lot of people just evaluate things superficially.

Yeah, they just are worse and worse the longer the document is.

Also, it is easy for a sentence or two to be good, but they aren't making short stories or novels that are as the same level as people.

Part of that, as you indicate, is that AI just doesn't have a perspective or anything to say.

It's really just proof the "personal responsibility" to Republicans just means "nothing is ever my fault". They're the party of irresponsibility.

He's incapable of taking responsibility for anything bad he does.

The beginning is the end and the end is the beginning. We are never and always at war.

That's not even getting into how your analysis isn't accurate for first time home owners either, but there's no point in a serious discussion when you simply move goal posts and dismiss even your own comparison when you find it inconvenient.

Hardly besides the point when we're explicitly comparing it to today and you claimed it was no different -- a claim that is just not remotely true.

Buying a house in the 90s was not out of the question, even if prices were still too high then. They are much higher now relative to income. A lot of things are much more expensive now relative to income, such as college.

What does your favorite art style taste like though?

But, granted, the original post isn't actually claiming most households were single income. It's saying they only needed a single income. So it's a bit of moving the bar.

This is about the best data in this I can easily find. This is a really bad metric to look at affordability, since there are many reasons to work. In any case, looks like you need to go beyond a generation ago for major differences in this metric.

I can't seem to easily find info for the 50s and 60s.

In any case, there are much better metrics for affordability problems than this, which isn't very good when there are a lot of reasons to work besides affording the cost of living.

One generation ago isn't accurate, but if you go back further it is far more true.

It's amazing that you think saying that makes you sound reasonable and not completely unhinged.

It's depressing and disgusting to see how easily many people embrace the return of this blatantly bigoted shit by these anti-dei clowns that wouldn't have been acceptable even 30 years ago.

As always, it's really about stopping all talk of actual discrimination.

These are the worst people.

Once again, you sound like a Republican and your opinion is based in reality just as much as theirs.

You will never get what you want on this. Ever. And it's a good thing too, because what you want is based on lies and bad for the country.

09.03.2026 16:13 — 👍 2    🔁 0    💬 0    📌 0

But like a Republican, you favor punishing kids and making absolutely wild statements about how large numbers of people are burdens on society for their whole life. Completely made up shit to hurt kids.

You're repeating Republican talking points about anything progressive.

So, because you claim know someone well-off who is cheating the system by not paying their taxes, you want all the people, the vast majority and many who struggle to make ends meet, to suffer. Especially the kids.

That's your argument.

Again, you sound like a Republican.

You sound just like a Republican.

Your limits are bad and you should feel bad. Deciding to go after parents, who are in no way responsible for the lack of universa; healthcare is absurd.

You hate kids so much that you focus on hurting them over the extremely rich.

Frankly, your opinion here is immature regardless of your age.

Far right libertarianism. Maybe they'll grow out of this immaturity one day.

Some people have this huge hatred of children. It's insane. The tax cuts people get for kids doesn't even cover the cost of having them, but his hate is so large that he doesn't care and wants them to suffer.

Insane.

I hope that by "deserved more deliberation" he meant "are lines that should never be crossed"

Your post made me think again on how much worse the problem of scientific fraud can get. Or even arguably is getting, and faster than we can study it.
