adave··on 66% of renters say homeownership is ‘hopeless’
You probably own a house or would want one if you could purchase it, disclosing your personal stand tells a lot more than boilerplate advice.

Rent's are affordable but are a waste since you have a lot of restrictions and can be kicked out anytime. Housing is long term in general.

In most places the numbers worked out few years ago, with low interest rates so people kept buying.

Now that money is no longer free flowing folks are realizing what sort of sham they were participating in and both parties are feeling stuck with what they have.

As long as prices go up, no one if going to heed advice as rents jump all the time but mortgage remains almost the same and most folks can't see beyond it no matter how much education they get.

Lol seems like you have never tried to do it in real life, easy to say impossible to do. This is a complex problem that has many stakeholders who want to maintain status quo. Don't forget all the tax evasion and money laundering it supports.No one is asking questions till the market goes up. Only way for a serious change if prices dropped overnight by 30-50% and people realize a house is just a place to live and make memories in, not a money machine.

For example?? Without practical answers this reads like an old fart complaining about good old times. Texas might be the only reasonable alternative for home ownership, even then salaries are lower and we all know about their current situation especially in smaller localities.

adave··on America’s $800B climate splurge is feeding a new lobbying ecosystem
Means people are dumb to think, lobbyists are bad but dumb that they will let $800B to actually amount to something useful. Being the pleb they are probably should have figured out how its PR and meant to exactly bring up that kind of thinking of them being dumb so normal folks stay quiet.

adave··on How to Stop Ruminating
Problem is such stuff does not work if your brain circuitry is impaired for those instructions to just work. Rumination is a tricky thing and we all do it now and then so for those folks its easy to control like you do and its only bad when you are low mentally or physically. For others its really hard to get rid of and is a constant thing they can't just decided to switch off.

That's too much effort, don't you think.Maybe not for you but for general tech folks.
adave··on If you’re so smart, why aren’t you rich? Turns out it’s just chance
Yeah feels good right, taking risks have costs and only priviledged folks can afford to do this for any strech of time. Also its not a singular risk and done kind of a thing, you have to embody failure for a while and that does not work without someone providing you with food,shelter and clothing the whole time.
adave··on If you’re so smart, why aren’t you rich? Turns out it’s just chance
Lot of folks who become rich with average intelligence so it's in no way a barrier.

adave··on The Anti-Productivity Manifesto
You mean the author of the article or the book. It helps to know that author of the article started an Site Optimization platform and worked hard to build it, probably spending too much time on it as well. Taking umbrage with any advice saying otherwise i.e don't spend too much time on performance, seems sensible since they took it personally.

adave··on Choose what to dream tonight
Yeah not every one can imagine in visual form, for some its text only while for others its sounds and a black void for some. No need to be jealous as you have other superpowers to balance things out.
adave··on Software Complexity Is Why AI Won't Replace Software Engineers
So you are converting your code into english and then asking GPT to convert it back to code? Might as well right the code at that point.

or like an intern who can google snippets of code from previously known solutions and is sometimes out of context or outright false.
adave··on Pytest Tips and Tricks
Its like saying why does an engineer want payment for work done.It's book which are notably hard to write, what your are saying is why is it not free? Imo freeloaders are exhausting and you are free to search for content and release one for free.
adave··on Do I need to avoid dark chocolate now?
Read reports and don't expect media to throw numbers and mathematical proofs. They are a business and have to cater to general public who don't really understand or care.
