That photo is the best you ever get. Or maybe a photo with snow is a bit better. The outside is gorgeous. The inside is a complete waste of time and money as it wasn't finished. It was a vanity project not a real castle.

Republicans / Conservatives have always told their members that they are better stewards of finances and yet for the last 40-50 years they have been the ones to drive up the debt and run annual deficits while handing ever increasing amounts of money to the 1%. How they keep convincing their members that it is the left who are the problem, is a remarkable study in propaganda.
Very little. I've always wanted to be paid for the work I do so I have always paid others for the work they have done for me. If I couldn't afford to pay for it, I didn't steal it instead.
That's how the corporations figured out how to make more money on coffee. Through advertising, influencers, and the addictive qualities of sugar, many people who drink "coffee" are actually drinking very little of it and instead are having very unhealthy sugary milkshakes (with or without real milk).
Another reason not to buy American produce.
If my kid could change binoculars into dust, I would want to harness that power. It's amazing.
Last time housing prices crashed in the USA, people's incomes crashed as well or their mortgage obtaining ability did. All it meant was that the already rich and corporations were able to buy up real estate cheap. Did not remotely help 90% of the population.
Yep. For some reason I've never tired of that song. Others I would hate hearing 1/100th as much but not it.
It would be better if people stopped fucking billionaires. Really we don't need their spawn.
Had a friend that had pretty much the same thing happen to her - in 1982. This has always been America.
Not all immigration is bad. Not all foreign workers are bad. However when companies/employers are allowed to freely manipulate the system so that Canadians cannot get the jobs or the training and 'scholarships' and apprenticeships are for women, indigenous, and immigrants first, then Canadians who are excluded will be resentful. There was a news report yesterday of someone trying to raise money to keep an unqualified student in Canada, all expenses paid, because that young person had "potential". So do many other young Canadians and yet no one is trying to sponsor them if their parents cannot afford to send them to post secondary training. When a Canadian needs a trade certificate to do a job but a TFW can use the fake certificate his friend created for him, it isn't a equal employment field.
I'd agree that it peaked a long time ago. I joined in 2008 or so because my teenage sons had joined. We didn't know each other's IDs, I wanted to know what they were interested in and found a couple communities I liked for myself. Every year it got less inclusive and the toxicity that was contained to some communities started to spill over. I had already left when the corporatization started in earnest.
