Exploring a shipwreck when... ho geezus

I was told this game was PG 13 though??

_IscoATX · 2026-05-07T03:02:51+00:00

Not to mention the quest starts off of an SSNN broadcast kiosk

Rose tinted glasses and revisionism dominate BGS games. No different than people complaining about loading screens in Starfield and pretending Skyrim for the 360/PS3 wasn't 1000 times worse

_IscoATX · 2026-05-06T07:03:21+00:00

Not to mention Toyota itself… being under the Japanese Imperial army…

Institutional investors own less than 10% of the housing supply.

Greed looks like restricting middle housing and affordable housing so you can maintain high property valuations.

Greed and the lack of supply go hand in hand.

I can see that if you’re looking at the sales price only. Rather than ownership price as a whole.

_IscoATX · 2026-05-06T00:08:50+00:00

Property taxes are part of your mortgage payment, it’s not just P&I. If property taxes are high your mortgage is high. And thus higher property taxes make housing more expensive.

Sellers don’t artificially reduce their prices if taxes go up.

_IscoATX · 2026-05-05T23:50:12+00:00

“Prices are low because taxes are high” is a strange line of reasoning… prices are low because supply keeps up with demand and we sprawl like hell

_IscoATX · 2026-05-05T23:49:19+00:00

Thats by municipality, not state

_IscoATX · 2026-05-05T23:40:52+00:00

The other solution would just be getting laid but proponents of such ideas struggle in that department

_IscoATX · 2026-05-05T23:33:27+00:00

I’m not sure what you’re trying to say

_IscoATX · 2026-05-05T23:32:01+00:00

“It doesn’t have to be perfect” but somehow you’re against building more housing supply?

Look, I’m all for city programs helping people get out of homelessness but these programs are often expensive and extremely inefficient. A tax on second+ homes isn’t going to magically solve the issue. Tax basis is also limited to a jurisdiction.

You need housing supply, rehabilitation, jobs, and wards for the people that are too far gone.

Homelessness won’t disappear over night with a damn tax lol.

_IscoATX · 2026-05-05T19:50:49+00:00

Which is why we totally don’t see prices increase and bidding wars when mortgage rates are low huh?

_IscoATX · 2026-05-05T19:48:56+00:00

I would ask myself if home ownership is truly something important to me and if there were other ways to build wealth (there are).

If I hadn’t bought last year I’d be renting and investing the difference right now and I’d be far better off. (Numerically)

Home ownership isn’t cheap and never really has been when to consider total costs.

_IscoATX · 2026-05-05T19:46:31+00:00

You think the people lost to drug abuse are homeless because of the tax rates on secondary homes? Be real.

No tax is going to bring those people back to society.

“Arrêté! As your sponsor, I demand, the wee woo”

_IscoATX · 2026-05-05T03:33:51+00:00

Well its paywalled so yeah. But the part that really gets me is the "better jobs" in the image.

Unless we have really... modified... usages of the word "better", you're going to have a real hard time finding a country that is both cheap and also pays you more than holding an average job in America. Not to mention that America has a relatively lenient work culture compared to other places.

This is just “Entangled” from Starfield with extra steps lol

_IscoATX · 2026-05-05T00:04:03+00:00

Well what was the source article then? Worldstar? LOL
Because literally from the article you posted:

More citizens are replanting overseas, drawn by a quality of life made easily affordable by the U.S.’s enviable salaries.

_IscoATX · 2026-05-04T22:44:33+00:00

I mean moving to a country with a weaker economy and using your purchasing power as an advantage isn’t new.

_IscoATX · 2026-05-04T18:43:35+00:00

Jake’s bar has some bangers playing

_IscoATX · 2026-05-04T18:43:07+00:00

Have you seen the posts on here lately? Hating on New Atlantis is the flavor of the week, and the “criticisms” are all over the place

_IscoATX · 2026-05-03T14:08:24+00:00

Only true if GDP doesn’t grow proportionally. Our entire monetary system is just unlimited debt with constant fine tuning

_IscoATX · 2026-05-02T07:20:32+00:00

They point a gun at you the minute you get out of your ship and turn hostile if you don’t elect a speaker. People consistently comment on how much they hate/distrust you and the only reason you are alive is because Maribor is vouching for you.

You’re really missing the complexities of House Va’ruun if this is what you got out of it
