I think what they (poorly) meant was that there shouldn’t be individuals/entities that own multiple houses, to give everyone/more people the chance to own homes. There is a serious housing shortage because a lot of people and companies buy multiple homes. Some use it as basically a form of money (notably the Chinese) and others use it as a form of income (Individuals/entities that own 10 or more affordable/family homes and rent it out. Airbnb was/is a huge contributer to this issue)

As a rule, people today cannot buy homes and rent is a major reason why. In most places rent is over 60% of the average paycheck. How are you supposed to afford a house? You won’t even get accepted for a mortgage with the average paycheck. This issue has a lot of consequences, suchas the birthrate is falling at an exponential rate. It’s barely at the replacement level, and in some places, below. And the trend is continuing.

I’m enjoying it for the most part, but it really, really bugs me that they keep calling the creature in legend an ogre when it’s clearly supposed to be an oni.

And I was begrudgingly accepting it, like fiiine, I know it’s localization and dumb American kids might not know what an oni is, whatever.

And it’s like pokemon actually wants to drive me insane! Because this “ogre” lives on top of Oni mountain!

I know it’s a minor gripe all things considering.

As an aside, Carmine is pretty insufferable.

But it’s so much easier to ban straws than to make fishing companies responsible for their waste and destruction!

Ah! Darn. I’m sorry.

Hope you figure something out!

Do you have access to those super thick insulated socks? Could allow you to wear those house slippers with a rubber sole.

I live in Canada and those socks are too hot in the dead of winter for me.

Oh man, I feel this one. I moved to a colder climate with my cat in winter and every time I pet her, if I got close to her ears… zap. She was always like ??? About it.

One day it just stopped happening one day and I’m not sure why. So I don’t really have any advice.

You could try rubber soled footwear instead?

Yup, classic case of realism not always making the game better.

I went to earth to check it out, I know the lore of why it is a giant sand ball but that also disappoints me. I walked around the approximate area of where I am from and found a small cave. But there was nothing in the cave except some abandoned drugs. I couldn’t interact with the glowing mushrooms, mine any minerals, etc. I was hoping for a sprawling cavern or something and just… nope. I might go back to earth to explore it some more but it’s so bland.

What do you think is behind that rock?

Another rock.

Slime/goop

The 90s had an obsession with slime/goop. Toys, mascots, etc.

My condolences. Perhaps a reptile or a rodent then, some are friendly and like to chill but are not for everyone.

How about cats? As a rule they tend to bean easier pet and happier to be purely indoors if you live somewhere that isn’t safe to let them out/have a catio. I find having cats help my mental health.

Sorry to hear you were with someone who abused animals though, that’s awful.

But I can’t mod games on consoles that you plug into the TV. Also my specs are better. :C

What a world we live in where people are recommending what used to be Internet Explorer over Chrome.

There are, but it might not be called so and at the bottom they might write “(may) contain: soy”

I’m talking about pre-made whatever. Salad dressings, sauces, etc. They all have corn or soy in them, sometimes both. It’s hard to avoid it entirely. People with a soy allergy probably have to get specialty brands and/or go to specialty shops since food in North America is so corporate. Many of the food safety laws are a joke. And Canada is stricter than USA. In USA food safety is the whole clown show when compared with the EU.

I have had my own insulated steel water bottle for a few years now. I have bought a couple water bottles since, but it only happens when I forget it and it’s a hot day. I still try to avoid Nestlé when that happens.

Nestlé chocolates are bad too, though. They use palm oil in all of it. However, most chocolate companies do. And it isn’t limited to chocolates. Oreos, which are vegan, use palm oil as well, which is why some vegans and vegetarians boycott oreos. Unfortunately there aren’t many alternatives to go to for this issue. The only viable solution for this one is to “stop eating chocolates/etc” rather than finding alternate brands and companies. Unfortunately this one is rather difficult because palm oil is one of those ingredients that has like 50 different names because companies KNOW that palm oil is one of those issues people feel strongly about and try to avoid. So every company will call it something else, or something very, very vague. Avoiding palm oil is like trying to avoid corn or soy.

I avoid Nestlé as much as I can, I mostly… I just buy a coffee crisp once or twice a year. It’s one of my favorites and I have not found an alternative I like as much/better.

Nestle isn’t exactly making bank off me, that’s enough.

They also cancel just about all their good series while keeping the shit ones. :')
