Blame the democrats

Pogs should come back

It means you should move on

Bouncy balls are already reasonably efficient. If you want them to be more dangerous, you just get ones that weigh more.

I already stated what I believe to be moral in this situation, and how I arrived at that conclusion.

That’s only one variation of moral relativism. It is, as most things in ethics are, not black and white.

Your question didn’t require an answer, since it answered itself.

I literally have multiple copies of Wikipedia offline. Including one on a USB stick.

I don’t think it would ever be possible to delete all records of history short of blowing up the entire planet at which point its quite moot.

“universally appalling” despite it literally having supporters arguing over it for over a thousand years…

Just because your class of idealist youth didn’t like it doesn’t make it universally appalling.

This is a really important take that not enough people understand.

Very few people are asking for universal socialism. Capitalism works fine for some industries, Socialism works great for some industries. The government needs to figure out which ones are which, and implement rules around that.

The big one right now that people are just starting to figure out is that capitalism sucks at real estate. The free market failures there are significant and causing a lot of problems.

IMO land should be strictly owned by the government, and only rented to citizens. This should be the primary source of tax revenue for a country, not income taxes. Use more land, pay more taxes. Use less land, pay less taxes. Land taxes also benefit from being the only thing you can never hide, because you can’t put it under a table or move it offshore.

Morality is determined by society. Society has not agreed that being a landlord is immoral.

Very few people want to eliminate rentals altogether. You can go look at polls, even the polls where you find the most support for restrictions only want secondary rental homes to be taxed higher.

At the time, yes, trying to run a commercial farm without slaves while you tried to get the laws changed would have been completely reasonable.

Morality is not absolute, its situational and relative. Applying modern morals to judge the past is an effort in stupidity.

“I wouldn’t have done that” yes you definitely would have, because you would have been raised to do that.

There are things you do today that future generations will judge you as immoral for doing that you think are perfectly fine.

Do you think eating animals is acceptable? Future generations may think you just as barbaric for allowing that as you think people were for allowing human slaves. Or maybe they’re fine with eating meat, but they will think you barbaric for allowing paid healthcare to exist and people to suffer because they’re poor.

That’s not really an in-between, You’re still a renter and usually get no benefit if you fail to reach the specific criteria in the allotted time. It really doesn’t solve anything other than issues with credit scores or available down payments.

Your argument is weak.

There’s already a law that says “Murder is bad, go to Jail” so no it’s not fine, and society deemed it morally incorrect.

Society has not yet agreed that renting to people is morally incorrect, that’s why it’s still legal and why millions of people are landlords.

I completely disagree with this.

First, having rentals available is a necessity. There are plenty of people who simply do not want the responsibility, or need the flexibility to move more easily than owning allows for (like university students and people moving around for jobs). If rental units are needed, someone has to be a landlord to provide that.

Second, choosing to significantly impact your own own life because of country-wide problems is heroic, but fucking useless. The change in this space will not come from all landlords all choosing to be better people. That’s never going to happen, and if you think that’s an option you’re the one being ignorant. The only realistic way this housing situation changes is if the laws change, and the laws change when voters pick politicians who will change them.

The only time this person is a hypocrite is if they say they want to fix the problem, but then do not vote for the person who will fix it.

past, not passed

If that’s all you want to do, one of the cheaper Ubiquiti managed gateways would probably work and not break the bank.

If you want to tinker even harder, an open source router running https://openwrt.org/ (or even their own device) may be a good option.

the difference between unqualified and exceptionally unqualified means very little, neither of them can accomplish their basic tasks.

This is exactly how most developers are being asked to use it, it’s literally how most of the IDE integrations work.
