  • The 1932 election had a communist option, it’s unlikely that there will be one on my ballot.

    We’re not going to overthrow fascism in America at the voting booth. I’m not trying to convince anyone to vote for Biden, that’s his job and he’s not doing it very well. I’m also not going to shame anyone for doing something easy like voting in the hopes that it makes them a tiny bit safer.

    I would shame someone if they thought that voting democrat is a step towards bringing about positive change or parroted some bullshit about how we can get more concessions from Democrats than Republicans. If voting is the extent of your political engagement, you aren’t opposing fascism.




  • This is just not realistic.

    Using the median home price is severely underestimating the cost of a decent home in an okay neighborhood.

    With these salaries, you can afford a house that needs severe repairs or in either an unsafe or really inconvenient area.

    I bought a house in one of these cities in 2017 with slightly more than what they say is the required salary. It was 195k with 4.5%. The school district reassessed the house from the sale, my taxes skyrocketed, and my mortgage increased $600 a month. I ended up selling the house after 3 years to move in my parents with 25k in credit card debt.

    Today, that house would cost at least 300k and interest rates are around 8%. I’ve almost tripled my salary since then and my budget is probably max 330k.





  • I think this is because it’s more expensive and takes longer to build and maintain a desktop website, mobile website, and app.

    If you design everything to work on mobile, you can reuse it as the desktop site. You can most likely reuse assets in the app as well.

    Also, people are using their phones a lot more frequently than desktop/laptop, so mobile experience gets prioritized.
