Yup yup. The cheapest stuff you can find for the hobby will still set you back several hundred dollars, and you’ll be doing the equivalent of doodling with crayons. I do not regret buying a Celestron Astromaster 130EQ, but I’m also fully aware of why people call this thing a hobby killer

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•If a Great Depression happened again, would people still stand together like they did during the penny auctions?
3·13 days agoNo, primarily because nobody knows their neigbors anymore
“This is the problem with you Amerikkkan imperialists, you only care about your own people and don’t give a shit about anyone outside your country”

Games@sh.itjust.works•Should a PvPvE game have to offer a PvE-only mode?English
51·24 days agoLiterally can only be improved by it. The only people it hurts are people who want to do PVP with players who don’t want to do PVP, and I’d rather that kind of scumbag not play the games I play in the first place

A Boring Dystopia@lemmy.world•Investors are making up the highest share of homebuyers in 5 years
11·28 days agoDo you reckon I’d qualify for a mortgage with my <$30,000/year income and my zero credit history? If you do, I might actually look into it
Could it be that it doesn’t just cost what you pay in rent each month?
Do u reckon every landlord is renting out their houses for a loss??? You get that that’s what you’re implying, right? Like obviously my landlord is better equipped to handle a big expense all at once, but that’s because the cost is amortized across many many months of my rent payments.

11·1 month agoDon’t think you’re being a little dramatic? There are many more costs involved in owning a house than the mortgage payment.
Yes, and my rent covers literally all of them. Again, it has to, or else my landlord would be renting this house at a loss. I don’t want the opportunity to pack up and move on short notice. I’ve lived in this city since I was born, and I intend to die here. I should not be forced to pay a premium for a feature I will never use.

3·1 month agoIf we just built enough housing this problem would go away.
Fun fact: there are more vacant homes than there are homeless. By a factor of 28. We have the homes, we just need to let people own them

61·1 month agoSo everyone who has enough money to rent, but not enough to own, should be homeless?
The concept of someone having enough money to rent but not enough to own is ghoulish in the first place. If my landlord can pay $<1,200 for this house’s mortgage and upkeep, and I can pay $1,200 a month for the right to sleep in it, then we should simply cut out the middle man and have me pay that $<1,200 a month for mortgage and upkeep directly.

Lefty Memes@lemmy.dbzer0.com•"the blue trolley would have ground up people more humanely!"English
13·1 month agoMaybe you should spend less time in your little secret clubhouse making fun of other leftists, and start actually making political progress. Like, Mamdani isn’t gonna win NYC by having a bunch of fans secretly get together and make fun of everyone who votes for him
Although it would actually make my day if you told me that Mamdani is just as bad as Adams or Cuomo
