@machado pretty much

boomers: don't be homeless

also boomers: keep my central, sparsely populated neighborhood exactly as it is -- no poors or subways please

as if they don't make money on us just by owning property, and couldn't just go to the rental board to get someone evicted (and wages garnished) for nonpayment.

like somebody posted the other day, we already live in an autocratic regime. the power is just distributed among a bunch of unaccountable private bureaucracies dedicated to extracting as much biopower from you as possible.

landlords get fucked. i'm trying to transfer my lease (which means I have to find a new applicant), and they're asking my applicants to find guarantors who can pay the rent with 20% of their income (on top of normal proof of work and past rentals). that's way higher than the median income here, and my apartment is not very expensive. i'm pretty angry.

I have a feeling that the rise of Sci Hub and slow crumbling of Elsevier is a big deal. People have an innnate intuition that in a realm of abundance, artificial scarcity is abhorrent. Now to extend this intuition to other domains

car people get fucked

if you like the suburbs so much, you should stay there

Nothing to boost your instinctual misanthropy like trying to transfer your lease on Kijiji

so cool

@riga “You’re basically sinful because your distant ancestors ate some forbidden fruit, and you would have to go to hell for that, but for some awesome guy who got nailed to a cross so you could be forgiven. But, that’s just a reprieve. Don’t mess it up, or you’re back to Hell.”

I never realized how weird Catholic ethics are growing up. So much guilt!
