O-kay. I can think of a myriad of other reasons than sheer cost why I might not want to buy a home straight away. But I see how the graphic kind of makes sense in the way you describe.

I’m not a big fan of landlords, by the way, and the instant downvoting for asking a simple question is extremely rude. Doesn’t exactly foster community engagement, guys! 😑

Not sure what the graphic is trying to say. Are landlords supposed to protect people from increasing costs of home ownership? 🤔 How are these ideas connected?

Mind you, ownership implies that you are not renting your home, you own it.

Smart.

Hope the cat knows.

But you’re sure it wasn’t the poop knife? Like, 100% positive?

Windows 10 EOL is a problem for future me, having just signed up for free extended support.

And I’ve got CachyOS in my back pocket. Initial experiments have been somewhat positive.

Depending on the era and genre, the most ubiquitous drum machine would be a Linn Drum (late 70s & early 80s pop, e.g. ABBA), Roland TR-808 (80s soft pop, e.g. Phil Collins), or Roland TR-909 (90s House/Dance/Trance, e.g. Scooter).

There are many others, of course, and even if the actual machine wasn’t used, these sounds have been sampled and reused countless times, e.g. using a Fairlight CMI.

Interestingly, the 808 is the only one of the three that does NOT use samples itself but synthesizes all of its percussion sounds, which gives it a rather distinct character. Perhaps that is what led you to believe that it is the most ubiquitous drum machine - it’s easier to recognize than the others, even in a crowded mix.

Perhaps.

And it wasn’t until the U.S. invaded Mexico and forced it to cede large swaths of its territory. Same with California, Arizona, Nevada, etc.

Puerto Rico didn’t exactly beg to be annexed, either.

I think a lot of this panic about Latin American people illegally taking over the United States stems from repressed colonial guilt.

Preparing their rebranding to White Supremacy Journal.

Here’s to many more like it! 🍻

They are filming/photographing with their right hand. The image is flipped. Or they are in the most American-looking town in England.

See, the problem was that the kid didn’t have their own gun to shoot back.

ARM OUR KIDS!

It’s his remedy to your constant “headaches,” Karen.

(Stereotypes galore, I know, but they don’t seem like the most functional couple.)

🤨 The sheer NUMBER of websites, you mean? Yeah, that is sometimes annoying.

Surely that was precisely what Viktor Shklovsky had in mind when he coined the term ostranenie. 🤡📯🥪🤡

That’s not quiet as it should be.

This comes up quite often in people’s descriptions of Germany and I wish I could see some real life examples, because it’s not something I experience a lot. So maybe it’s a cultural/perception issue.

Oh boy, wait until they find out about the World Series of anything.
