I was in Copenhagen last week and spoke to a dozen people who all agreed that the housing market there is terrible aswell.

I personally _love_ Thomas Sowell's work. Basic Economics would be a great start, especially now with the current housing crisis. Very amusing and interesting read aswell.

He's got quite a few (albeit politically tinted) interviews with the Hoover Foundation on Youtube.

Just curious, did you see it in a proper cinema or at home?

Good point, never thought about that. Here in the Netherlands, it used to be "common" to house other people than your direct family for some time, e.g. during harvest season.

Hey man, if you're really suicidal, please get help.

Aside from that I can personally recommend exercise, d3, sunlight and a regular bed time.

Know that depression makes everything suck, you wont enjoy things you used to. Even if your life was great you wouldnt enjoy it. But you will again once you get over the chemical imbalances in your brain. I'm rooting for you.

And that is totally fine and 100% the intent of that slide. You and Netflix don't match in terms of expectations. Id give kudos to netflix for being up front about it.

This is also happening in the Netherlands.

Not a fan personally...

Gasoline cars already pay tax per mile, as gas is very heavily taxed. Electric cars do too, as electricity is also taxed pretty heavily. (Notice a trend yet?)

The only advantage is that there can be a more fine grained taxation of cars, based on time and location. But I don't trust my government with that kind of data.

I will start off by saying I have very little knowledge of physics or astronomy, but reading comments like these feels like I'm watching a 13th century British sailor confidently state what's on the other side of the Atlantic ocean...

Do we really know enough to be able to say if a planet is habitable? Or could there be other forms of life that we don't know of yet... We have only recently put a man on the moon, and now we're saying we would be able to detect dyson spheres...?

>If your “opinion” is contrary to observable facts

I'm sure that is the same reason why many once people believed the earth was flat, or that the earth was at the center of the universe.

It's very arrogant to think that "the science" and "the facts" are always right. Any scientist worth their money understands the importance of challenging the status quo. Unfortunately nowadays, especially on the topic of COVID, challenging the status quo is enough to be considered a pariah by narrow-minded people like yourself.

Roughly, for every extra percentage of interest, your maximum mortage becomes 15% lower.

>He is claiming to be what he is not

Yes, you are indeed. Here online talking about subjects you probably don't know so much about as an MD or medical PHD of any kind or quality.

Even you talking about the subject is totally fine to me. But here you are telling OTHER qualified people not to do the same?

The level of hypocrisy is mind boggling.
