well they were entirely made up of account executives, insurance salesmen, and management consultants so I think it's still fair to call them "ape-descended"

There's one near me that only advertises the price with car wash. So the sign shows what you pay per gallon if you also decide to spend an extra $15 on a shitty automatic car wash. WTF??

And don't words that end in -ix get pluralized with -ices? So you'd have Aviatrices, Dominatrices and Gladiatrices. I need some of these I can use in real life, dammit!

I haven't heard that before, do you have a source where I could read more? I know fish at least is high in omega-3s... What is it about cooking the fat that makes it bad, and does that mean raw or rendered fats are fine?

This article is cherry picking numbers from a Redfin study. It says 28% empty-nest Boomers vs 14% Millennials with kids. Together those two subsets own 42% of large homes (3+ bedrooms). So that doesn't account for elder GenZ, Millennials without kids, all of GenX, and any boomers that don't count as "empty-nest" for whatever reason. It's not half corps like everyone keeps saying.

If you click through to the Business Insider article you can see that it's a misquote. Private investors accounted for 44% of the flips in 2023, not 44% of all single family home purchases total. That's still a problem, but it's a huuuuuge difference. Flips are a small minority of home sales.

I prefer sabotage that doesn't have the potential to ignite thousands of acres of adjacent woodland. Somewhat counterproductive at that point.

yeah, I thought we killed satire years ago!

So, solar and wind? Both cheaper than fossil fuels at this point.

I like the quadpod

If you switch that last Fed graph to show the percentage of total wealth instead (which accounts for inflation), the under 40 category is actually at it's highest level since 2013. It looks like it hit all-time low around 2010 at 4.8% and has steadily increased since, at the expense of the 40-54 demo.

Calf is a good ballpark. I think I could take a whitetail doe but not a buck, and that's about the same range.
