Fact... and I try to keep my lamentations to things I actually use and are part of. Otherwise it just becomes too much of a whingefest! eBay does offer AI aided listing... 🤣

That is, of course a great idea! And could definitely be made to work. Once. Like the old saying goes, "ALL mushrooms are edible... at least once..."

No worries! The more the merrier!

It's a tough problem to solve. Here in the States, they are always saying the the unemployment rate is low, and yet so many people don't have work, or have unstable work, or have just given up. The problem

This was very much a fun read! I have three large boxes of vinyl albums sitting in my closet, and now I want to open them and have a look at what's there; heavy on late 1970s and 1980s punk rock and new

Hej Kerstin, og velkommen på Hive! Danish person here, living very far from home (USA, Washington state, near Seattle), hope you find your niche here, and connect with people with similar interests! Like

Sometimes, it's a double edge sword, too. When times get tough we struggle more, but because those we might be serving or providing for are also struggling, they end up having higher expectations of those

I hope someone near Ray can do a wellness check on him and his family. I started sensing something was "off" when his YouTube channel suddenly stopped publishing (he was trying to build a following

It has been very sad to the community first turn to the strange, and then we end up with this apparent "collapse into madness," or whatever it is. Much like you, I just hope Ray and his family

Sometimes it feels like the whole world is going mental. I really hope the UK doesn't follow down the road the US has chosen... because this place is getting outright scary. I can't believe Reform is gaining

Definitely an interesting prompt, so I decided to pull something from the archives inside my head!

Well, much to digest, here. I came to the old chain as a content creator almost nine years ago, and I remain here primarily because I am — first and foremost — a content creator. The appeal was the fact

Cool that you did this again! I missed out this time, but I see that my corner of the world was represented by @seattlea. It's a small wonder anyone can afford to live here! Look forward to the next round...

Well, I'd guess that pets and politics are likely up there. Weather and sports likely throw the pattern off...

I never really got into the whole trading thing. More of a "buy and hold as long as the project seems viable" sort of person. Thankfully, we can all find what holds the most value to us... for

That's pretty much how I view it, as a bonus. It has helped buy a new set of tires, and pay some taxes... and I am grateful. But it's not my JOB!

Things in the US started "breaking" already in the mid-1970s even if we are only experiencing the full effects today. Back then, the typical house cost about 2.2 times the median annual salary...

Around here, we're "hanging on," but at the rates of increase we keep seeing it feels like there will come a breaking point in the not too distant future. I think we'll for sure see a lot more

Housing is filled with hidden inflation. If my property value rises by 20%, so do my property taxes and homeowners insurance. But it's not counted because my "premium/assessment per $1,000" is

To me, that just feels like a long-winded way of saying "we can't be bothered/don't know how to fix the problem." =..=
