  • Is there a reminder bot on Lemmy?

  • Coming on Lemmy and complaining because there are too many Linux users is like going in to a brothel and complaining that there are too many hookers

  • Why is the price of real estate rising so dramatically?

  • My guess is that as the need for housing has increased (population growth, short term rentals taking up supply, etc), we haven't been building the right kind of homes to fill the void.

    Nobody is out there using land to build "starter homes". It's either large, expensive houses or apartment complexes, so the demand for home ownership is high, but the ones available to buy aren't cheap.

    It would be like if nobody made affordable cars, so most drivers were stuck either leasing or saving up for a Lamborghini. (Hyperbole, but you get the idea)

  • It's actually a PhD in trombone. Someone misheard it one time, and nobody has ever thought to follow up.

    "Oh, Alan? Yeah, he has a doctorate in bones or something."

  • After some unproductive googling, here's a random guess. The cover art style doesn't really match (not sure if the inside is different), but it has a deep sea diver and a lady underwater, who I can only assume is the "Ghost Queen"

  • The new responsibilities, the crying, the diapers for a few years, the chaos, the messy house, etc. can definitely be a hassle, but it's just so damned rewarding that all of that feels like a drop in the bucket to me.

    I've described it to people before as like winning the lottery. Yeah, it would be annoying to have to go turn in the ticket, go to the bank quite a few times, probably hire a money manager and sit through a lot of boring calls and appointments about your accounts for the rest of your life, hire a lawyer to manage your will/estate, etc., but when compared to how much you've gained, you wouldn't even really care about that, you know?

  • My kids.

    It sounds cheesy, but I'm acutely aware that I'm experiencing the best years of my life right now - the ones that I'll look back on with strong nostalgia for the rest of my life. Life is amazing, and I'm grateful for every day.
