Reform property taxes to avoid squeezing out homeowners.

California has that property tax; it is not going as well as you would hope. It helps encourage communities to keep from allowing more density and freezes people in their homes as they will never be able to afford moving within their communities.

Lemmy was designed to be a place where communists would have a community. Some instances weren’t, but a lot of the original ones were.

That’s fine, but someone has to pay for it.

Squatting is only legal over time.

Nebula

I responded to someone else, but there is a reason why Grey isn’t a part of Nebula.

Him and Kurzgesagt were helping to build an organization for YouTubers with the current CEO. The first talent signed on was Wendover and Real Engineering.

Grey and Kurzgesagt were rather inactive partners when they should have been more active and were trying to build a much more exploitative company instead of what Nebula became. It is vague on how they left, but they left and the company became better for it.

Work because I use it at work for work reasons.

I feel like, if they ditched the hot wings, it would still be a good interview.

Buried into a lot of romcoms is a sense of fantasy. People don’t fantasize about being poor.

CGPGrey. I even listened to his podcasts.

For someone who tried to sell productivity tools at one point, he was very unproductive.

Also, given what happened with Standard and Nebula, I got to say I side with Nebula over him.

It is been a plan for a while in the USA to shift launches from government run to private run for over a decade. This is just an implementation of that strategy.

It really depends on how the vocabulary got to the language.

First, you have to start with the fact that English is a Germanic language with a lot of French words in it due to the Normans. A good example is that farm animal names have a Germanic origin typically while the words for meat have more French origins.

You can also combine it with the fact that English was rather varied in its vocabulary at the time. An example is eggs/eyren. Egg won out as a word, but there were likely thousands of these decisions being made as the language standardized.

Then, include that a lot of legal and religious terms came from Latin; with the practices using Latin far beyond when English became the dominant language in England. So, for these fields, just use a mangled version of the Latin root.

Finally, it depends on how a word enters the English language. Maybe it comes from another language, so we just use a version of that word. Maybe the creator of the word just makes something up. Maybe the creator just slapped a word on something that wasn’t typically used; the wiki from Wikipedia comes from the name of a Hawaiian bus.

It is a strange, made-up way of naming things, but language itself is made up thing.

A lot of times in Star Trek, the being that gets omnipotent powers just kind of fucks off when they find the toys they’ve been playing with are no longer fun.

I never said people weren’t allowed, but there is this weird obsession about it on Lemmy.

Then cancel and move on.

The way that people talk about it here, a streaming service raising rates is the equivalent of a significant other dumping them.

Mega ad tier.

For now. YouTube is already starting to dedicate serious resources to anti ad blocking. I’m sure other streaming services aren’t that far behind.

Yeah. Netflix got really lucky with streaming for as long as they did and they knew it. Cable and broadcast subsidized their content and they were able to lease it for pennies on the dollar.

Of course, people don’t want to admit that the subsidy for their content is gone and they are pissed about rising costs.

What other company or government could do this?
