How is this the expanse? Seems to me that governments ruined space in the expanse, which I guess you could correlate with billionaires.

Fred Johnson is probably a billionaire and he ended up leading the OPA and supporting the most impoverished and oppressed class of people in the universe.

Possibly, but if homes are in demand and everything else is good, the homeowner could just say ya, I'm not lowering the price or fixing it, if the past couple years are anything to go off it will still sell for asking.

The house I bought with my partner had a non permitted external "extension" (just a separate room not connected to the main house with air conditioned office) and other safety issues on the inspection. We still bought the house, got 2k off for the house not having any ground wiring.

A significant portion of house flippers also don't bother with permits (or inspections) and do a lot of remodeling that requires a permit, they still sell. I understand why permits exist, but as a homeowner doing work on my own home I'm not paying the government shit to allow me to work on my property. Fuck permits.

Don't need an inspection if you do it yourself

Something is wrong

Valve is pretty much cool with everything unless using leaked source code, that's why releasing the tf2 source code was such a big deal recently. Now all the standalone tf2 mods can be legitimate and live on steam, previously they used leaked source code and valve has no chill for that.

I assume this is the same thing happening with cs, the devs are using some type of leaked code to do something in specific and valve isn't cool with that.

I don't have a source but what the guy above described is exactly how valve operates and lines up with previous actions taken with tf2.

Bottom line, valve loves modders, modders are legitimately why they are the company they are today and they know that and in general want to support the modding community. Just don't use leaked/closed source code

You seem to know more about it than I do, and I generally agree with your assessment. Either way ladybird has a talented team of paid engineers and tons of community contributors, so I'm choosing to believe in them even if Google is doing their best to stop them!

I think defederating almost any instance is dumb, not my instance though so do what you will.

They are writing the browser from the ground up following web specifications, specifications Google themselves often write and maintain. So it should just work once it's done, great talk by the lead Dev that goes into a lot more detail on that and just the project in general. https://youtu.be/9YM7pDMLvr4

As far as I understand most websites load so far (slowly) and will be aout 90% correct, but with visual issues

In America, cars are the only effective method of transportation for 98% of the population. Is that ideal? No. Is that reality? Yes.

I'm all for advocating for mass transportation but right now, and for 50 years minimum (best case scenario, completely made up) cars will continue to be necessary for the majority of Americans.

While vaping inside places where it is not allowed can be annoying for others, I would still prefer that over being stuck next to somebody who reeks of cigarette smoke even if they aren't actively smoking.

Atleaat the vape smells nice usually

Hey man, getting left is hard. The single time in my life I considered killing myself was after my first long term girlfriend left me, thankfully I didn't. It took a while but eventually I healed and was able to move on, due to an odd personal situation I won't get into here I would still see her fairly often after she left me, not the same as a small town but I can sympathize. It was really quite hard for me.

I've now been with my current partner for 7 years and I couldn't be happier, it's a better relationship than I had with the girl I considered offing myself over. I still see my old girlfriend atleast once a year, again due to the odd personal thing and we're both happy with new partners and we can talk and be casual with each other when we do interact, and I wish nothing but the best to her and her husband

TLDR, this sucks and will hurt a lot for a while but as annoying and cliché as it is to say, it really will get better. Stay strong brother, don't unplug yourself
