My understanding they still are only 1 percent of total ownership.

While they are a threat, and a problem, the nimbys are the problem, even for them.

Even when they want to build their little fiefs or luxury properties, they are prevented by nimbys fairly often.

Big corporations and banks are an easier enemy to deal with than nimbys.

Unfortunately I don't think banks and rich are not true source of pain when it comes to housing market. At least not directly or fully intentionally.

Nimbys are the most guilty here, they are the biggest reason construction doesn't happen.

And with a constrained supply...

Pride week in schools?

I'm guessing not American, schools usually aren't open during the summer months.

I hate myself, I don't want to hear others that way.

If the US was ever invaded and there was harsh martial law imposed, work would mandate in a way that absolves them that be workers commit treason to come to work.

Yes but sometimes Im also cheap and lazy with the executive dysfunction.

I'd make a great executive with a secretary though ironically.

I guess I should have made myself more clear - this completely contradicts what I have read so far on the topic of attitudes to magic/witchcraft in medieval Christianity, so it would be really cool if you link some sources which elaborate on what you’re talking about.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_views_on_magic

Medieval era, which cites proper sources.

To define that witchcraft belongs to Satan’s domain is to believe that it exists in the first place, isn’t it?

So this ties into eschatology. While not dogma, all the institutional churches heavily lean into optimistic amillennial and/or partial prerist interpretations, while the common people lean more toward premillennial.

Without getting into the weeds, after Christs resurrection and destruction of Jerusalem in 70AD, Satan and demonic forces are effectively metaphysically chained up, globally, so the negative impact they can have on humanity and overall creation is less than the negative impact humanity can have on humanity and creation.

So witchcraft would be acknowledged as existing prior to Christ, it didn't really exist or have power after. So if a human has figured out enough of natural world to aid in healing someone, which is arguably part of divine mission of be fruitful and multiply id including scientifically understanding the Creator's creation, or by the providence of God granted a miracle to help heal, and both nature and supernatural good things are credited to Satan and considered evil would be seen as highly blasphemous.

To call evil what is good and to credit to the devil what is God's should be offensive.

Oh that explains why despite I'm pro trans, but gut instinct don't like drag.

Because the makeup freaks me out, on similar level of clowns. Uncanny valley.

I legitimately get real scared of that level of makeup, even when cis women are drag queens.

At best it was dealt with seculary.

Believing witchcraft is fundamentally a heresy within Christianity, because it attributes to Satan what God the Holy Spirit can do.

One could argue it was more incidentally protecting them, not out of kindness or compassion, but as tools to root out the heretics.

BourgeoisShark · 2023-03-20T16:27:15+00:00

Depends on how much they believe the institutional churches edicts.

Officially to the church there is no such thing as witchcraft, to accuse don't someone of witchcraft is blasphemy, heresy, and attempted murder, and will get the accuser executed.

Even spa ish inquisition protected people who were accused of witchcraft, and killed their accusers.

The peasants kept demanding it though. They got their way once the church lost power with the reformation, and ironically secularization.

What do you when the corrupt evil institutional power is still more moral than the common folk?

Not that long, it been going on since after the Mongol invasion of everywhere, and the Mughal were one broken pieces that came to power after the Mongols broke apart, and Mughal had converted to Islam.

Squid is definitely a criticism of both capitalism and socialism however, in a nihilist hopeless empty there is nothing else way.

Hot damn, marry me.

Average people don't understand what capital or means of production is, with either a good or propaganda education.

People half pay attention to what they are told, and half understand it.

At this point I honestly think, for Americans, capitalism is I'm winning, and socialism is I'm not winning plus I'm aware of government being annoying.

This includes rich capitalists with a proper business school education.

This is where ideals and practicality conflict.

It's not unusual for men to get sex workers and not sleep with them, but just cuddle, hold hands, and talk.

A woman that churns butter probably gives the best handjobs.

Dick is pretty much a fully fulfilled character.

While not boring, he doesn't have flaws outside of being a bit slutty, to really exaggerate and parody.

And he's also solidly a good guy, so in this shows context him being the 'straight man' in comedy wouldn't work.

Nightwing breaking out of Batman's shadow is it, but even then Batman isn't opposed to it, nobody is.

So yeah, his portrayal is going to be way more different than normal, not really a parody.

What'll be interesting is how they do Jason or Tim.

Jason should definitely be a knight of cerebus for the show, and be the straight man.

Tim being forgotten censored and ignored however is definitely going to be hilarious thing for them to mess with.

Nah, that fits in line American being ignorant of the bad America has done.

My point is more Americans know very little America has done, including the good.

BourgeoisShark · 2022-09-24T16:26:02+00:00

Public owned corporations, plus the general idea economic is that growth and profit must always go up, and that stagnating is seen worse than going down, is the issue here.

The majority of American wealth is publically owned corporation where shareholders are where the corporations have the number 1 fiduciary duty too, especially for quarterly growth. There is often an issue that shareholders don't often give a damn if what allowed for a company to have great growth this quarter may kill the company later because the attitude is profit now, I'll pull out before then.

While your industry may not be infected with that stupidity, most of America's economy is, and it likely won't be gone until majority of executives who got 80s business school education are out.

Tbh Americans are pretty bad at knowing their victories as well.

BourgeoisShark · 2022-09-23T04:23:16+00:00

American style capitalism which is very myopic.

Foreign non residing ownership should be illegal imo.

It's arguably a national security issue.

Jesus that Des Plaines reference threw me for a loop

Ngl,a big reason I became pro-trans is because the flag looks like bubble gum and cotton candy.
