“Market prices for this new housing are likely to far exceed the already high prices that existed in Lahaina before the fire. For renters, the old housing stock that was destroyed provided opportunities for reasonable rents,”
I think this is the issue. Poor folks live in older buildings. Can’t rebuild new old, run-down cheap neighborhoods.
Playing music. Started on a shitty hand-me-down acoustic guitar. Got a better guitar. Got an electric. Got a better amp. Got a couple of pedals. Got a better amp. Got like 6 more amps, some cabs, 5 more guitars, a huge pedalboard, a cello, a keyboard, an audio interface, attenuators, mics, etc etc.
You gotta understand… I need all this stuff. There are subtle differences that you’ve never noticed before but will probably hear once I do an a/b comparison for you, and I absolutely must get an AC15 next to round out the collection instead of buckling down and recording something.
Article: The phrase “Rich men north of Richmond” is a cleverly disguised antisemitic trope
The guy that wrote the song: “It was funny seeing my song at that (Republican) presidential debate. Because I wrote that song about those people"

Calling everything racist isn’t helpful. This song is a poor man’s cry for economic justice, and instead of saying “yeah, that’s the 1% we’ve been complaining about, come over to our side,” the left calls it racist because it has Southern imagery in it.
Let’s keep it civil
Oh, in that case I don’t have a comment on the American healthcare system.
Looks good for at least another couple of hundred yards.
I want the actual reviews so I have at least some chance of figuring out if the reviewer is a bot, a shill, a customer, or is reviewing the UPS guy instead of the product.
Eggs are gross.
They’re both violations of the conditions of release. Two separate violations, unrelated except for being prohibited behavior.
My guess is they’re cartel, and their boss didn’t like the idea of someone shutting down their trade routes.
It’s totally different from wow. Wow is a real-time mmo. BG3 is a turn-based fantasy RPG (think Divinity:Original Sin or Wasteland 3).
He organized an event without getting a permit.
The permitting process ensures that there’s adequate security, traffic control, etc.
He didn’t do any of that legally required stuff, and the result was an angry mob. We’ve been through this. This is why you need a permit for large public gatherings, and why he’s legally liable for what happened.
Mr Struk … actively pursued a ‘pro-Russian position’ in the last week by 'communicating with the Russian Federation
Actively supporting an invading force during war isn’t “having a different opinion,” it’s treason.
It can force those who disagree with defederating to find a new instance that has access to all the communities they want. It also makes onboarding new people significantly more complicated, as their choice of instance will drastically influence their feed.
To be clear, I’m not arguing against defederation, just pointing out that it causes issues that need dealt with.
Look into cluster b personality disorders and cptsd. This behavior sounds like “splitting.”
I’m not a mental health professional, but lived with someone who was later diagnosed CPTSD, so I ended up doing a bunch of homework on wtf was going on.
I remember hearing an interview with him many years ago, and he shared a story about the shenanigans he got up to as a kid… he was into phone phreaking (used to be you could control the entire phone system by playing specific tones into any phone) and reprogrammed the phone system to think his friend’s home phone was a pay phone. His friend’s mom would try to call someone and the phone would ask her to deposit 20c. She was furious, and sent her son over to demand he fix it immediately.
I always thought that was one of the best pranks ever. RIP to a legend.
it’s possible that he was offered some kind of deal
It’s been reported that Lukashenko (of Belarus) brokered a deal. I haven’t seen any further details.
I know my personal experience isn’t statistical proof of anything, but I’ve known a couple of people who started using meth, then their life fell apart. I don’t know anyone whose life fell apart first and started using meth later.
“Only” a third on meth? Jfc that’s high.
There are a lot of reasons people end up homeless. One specific drug being involved in a third of cases is huge.
Afaik Lemmy is a protocol used by a bunch of servers; lemmy.world, shitjustworks, lemmy.ml, etc. They’re all (well, mostly) connected to each other, and each hosts various communities that any member can access. You can access it all through kbin, though kbin is different from lemmy. For example, this community is on lemmy.world, and you posted it here from kbin. I saw it and responded from kbin.
“All” gives you all the content your home server has access to.
I hope that’s helpful. I’m still learning myself.
Ukraine is attacking military targets. That’s the big difference here.
