Property taxes, like basically every other cost to a rental property, just gets passed down to renters as well. It’s not like landlords let taxes affect their profit margins.

Looks like you need the wayback machine now. I didn’t realize the site was dead, I really liked it.

“They thought I was dead.”

I use FBReader everyday. When you say that it’s netblocked, what do you mean? I’ve been able to use it in airplane mode with no issues. I’m using v3.7.6.

In Massachusetts I think it generally is listed on the receipt.

I want my sisters to maintain bodily autonomy, and I don’t want my country to descend even more into christian fascism. I also don’t think me falsely signalling that I won’t vote for democrats will benefit much of anything. In 2016, it mostly just got leftists labeled “Bernie Bros” and blamed for Clinton’s failings.

I didn’t know of them. Thanks.

If there was a third party, I honestly think there’d be a chance to make things better. Either to force reform by pulling votes from the bigger party, or being a vanguard for revolution. Just not the fucking green party, jesus. They didn’t win a single county in 2016, and I fucking hate them.

Yeah, to both.

The only one I know of is Jill Stein, and she’s a joke.

Because she knows that Palestine isn’t most American’s top issue, so she can afford to lose the few people that would go through with a boycott.

No, I agree. I think that Palestine isn’t the only issue that matters, though, and she’d be different than Trump on a lot of other issues. Female reproductive health, appointing judges, having a working FTC and FCC. So if I’m going to withold my vote to help Palestine, I’d like some reason to believe it would actually help them.

Yeah, it would absolutely be her fault. Wouldn’t help Palestine much though…

That seems pretty naive, given how they’ve been completely unwilling to compromise so far, and seem very confident they won’t have to.

I don’t think they’re enemies. I think their policies on Israel would be nearly identical, except Trump would be slightly more corrupt and incompetent. It’s just hard to threaten to withhold a vote when there’s no alternative.

All due respect, and with the understanding that I’m not a brilliant political strategist. Can you explain how we get from point A (threaten to withhold votes) to point B (a positive outcome in Palestine)?

I think it might be different if there were any viable third party candidate to rally around. It’s hard to protest Harris over Palestine when like, Trump would be worse. Probably not much worse, but still hard to gin up any enthusiasm about it.

The Legend of Zelda Oracle of Ages and Oracle of Seasons are both great.

Everything I’ve seen has indicated US inflation rates dropping steadily since 2022. What inflation are you seeing?

1. Manga
2. Slice of Life
3. After School Mate - A coming of age story about a young trans man navigating a rough home life and the difficulties of high school. Relatively short (two volumes), but entertaining with likeable characters.
4. Good.
