Me and my wife noticed you from across the bar...
I lost all faith when they did a "takedown" of Baudrillard which was such a blatant misreading it was gross
Generally just some chuckle-able background noise while getting ready in the morning. Ironically, the most recent episode was one of the worst ones in a long time, so unlucky you lol
Just off the top of my head:
-"House Flipping" culture
-Short-term rentals and AirBnb
-"Professional Landlordism"
-Corporate residential landholding
-Rabid boomer landowners who lose their minds when any rise in property tax gets mentioned, which results in artificially inflated property valuations
-No rent control
Obviously the REAL answer is Capitalism, but the above phenomena create ripple effects across the whole housing market, which is something that the r*dditors always overlook when they quote stats that say "corporate ownership of residential properties only represent a small fraction of the market." Yeah, maybe they do, but even that small fraction ripples out to housing precarity for millions of people.
Absolutely - I honestly think Dune and Dune Messiah should be sold as one book.
She stole some of his DNA which was enough to impregnate herself (supposedly), but when she gave birth it was actually half-Cardassian half-Kazon because she was shacking up with Maj Kulla of the Kazon Nistrum. No ultrasounds in the Delta Quadrant (well apparently the Traibe ships that the Kazon appropriated don't have them?).
BG3 is flawed, but me and my friends can't stop thinking about it and playing it. Checkmate TERFs.
Well aside from the time it totally bricked my system, it pretty good.
Well the power of Federation ships is directly related to what the plot needs, but in-universe yeah - Archer learned the hard way how exploring with an under-powered ship is just asking for alien assholes to harass you.
There was that Gates Foundation program in South America that attempted those genetic modifications and all of a sudden you had Zika exploding around the same regions. Coincidence? Maaaybe.
A nation is a historically constituted, stable community of people, formed on the basis of a common language, territory, economic life, and psychological make-up manifested in a common culture.
It goes without saying that a nation, like every historical phenomenon, is subject to the law of change, has its history, its beginning and end.

Some good shit.
"Massacre at Central High (released as Blackboard Massacre in the UK) is a 1976 American thriller film directed by Rene Daalder and starring Derrel Maury, Kimberly Beck, Robert Carradine, and Andrew Stevens. The plot follows a series of revenge killings at a fictional American high school, after which the oppressed students take on the role of their bully oppressors. Despite its title, it is not a slasher film but an unusual blend of political allegory, social commentary, and low-budget exploitation; with the exception of the final sequence, no "adult" characters (such as teachers and parents) are seen.
It was shot on 35mm film, and has a running time of 87 minutes.
The film's director, Rene Daalder, described Massacre at Central High as "eerily predicting punk and Columbine". It has also been cited as a possible influence on the 1988 black comedy Heathers."
A sinecure of understanding
I'm convinced Grimes rented Trafic and watched it while Musk was in a Ketamine stupor and when he "woke up" he decided to make the Altra camper-car.
Everyone should watch Trafic, it's great.
