Thank you.

What are some major relevant events that were predicted but haven’t happened yet?

That’s not what I mean. Even discarding any scale factor, Pinterest’s popularity curve looks remarkably unique. It’s basically the heaviside step function.

how did pinterest so suddenly become popular? I remember the first time I encountered pinterest, and then I encountered it regularly from then on, just in random google image searches.

There are other human requirements too, but it’s only landlords that get the bad press.

Monkey paw, there are no landlords – now almost nobody can afford to live anywhere. For this reason, shouldn’t one blame the housing market (and all its participants) as a whole, not just the ones who rent out their properties?

Of course, if we can socialize housing, or at least require that if you own a house you must live in it, that would be the best. But in the meantime, I don’t really see the objective problem that landlords specifically are causing, they seem to be doing a service to everyone as far as I can tell. I blame the high price of housing instead.

Okay, but “ACAB” makes sense because even the “good” cops enable the bad system. But how does ALAB make sense? The good landlords are just… good landlords. The landlord performs a useful service by buying and renting out the property which would be too expensive for renters to otherwise have access to. Obviously things would be better if there weren’t a need for landlords, but that’s hardly the fault of the landlord. What exactly is the (good) landlord doing that is enabling a bad system overall?

I personally think it’s capitalism that’s to blame, not landlords. I have generally been lucky with having nice landlords though, who aren’t bastards.

Out of curiosity, are any other department heads elected? (Canadian here, don’t know US system well.)

The article’s link goes to X (twitter) though, not to imgur.

It’s really about (a) sending a message that we don’t support Musk or other fascists and (b) discouraging other people from buying them.

It’s true that some people might have Teslas without having monetarily support Tesla somehow, but not very many, and if they got their Tesla for free then they aren’t really losing anything.

To that end, vandalizing Cybertrucks would send the clearest message, they’re the most obviously Musk thing. If enough Cybertrucks are vandalized, the media will report on it, and people will get the point. It would hurt Tesla’s sales, Tesla’s stock, and Musk’s image.

This is just theoretical mind you. I’m not advising you to vandalize anything, since that would be illegal.
