So my suggestion is that we recognize what is "dated" but not take it as a negative. There is something about something the way that dated design can catch your eye, make you cringe a little and say "wow we don't do that anymore" that's really exciting.

50 year mortgages seem insanely bad. Who doesn't want to pay a huge amount of additional interest and accumulate equity ridiculously slowly in exchange for a marginally lower monthly payment?
Caveat: I can see people doing this in high-growth markets like the SFBA - to flip houses. House prices: 📈

We literally do disagree about this, though. Some politicians want to take food from children and some politicians don't. Pretending this "isn't political" just allows the child-starving ghouls to get away with it.

This is a figure from disgraced physician Peter McCullough’s report claiming that vaccines cause autism.
The red line, added by me, depicts maternal consumption of pumpkin spice products.
His group still does not understand correlation vs causation.

If you are in Pennsylvania & eligible to vote PLEASE do. Vote to retain all on the supreme court retention election. MAGA is planning to rig the elections in this key swing state and the first step is to get their judges on the court. This is really serious. #uspol #Pennsylvania #authoritarianism
