True, mortgage does not increase over time. As long as I stay put it is somewhat limited but over enough time that will be a significant factor.

True true, I try to invest most of the difference, hopefully that will be worth something too when I need it.

My rent is around 1800 euro, if I’d buy this apartment, my mortgage would be around 3000. That’s for more than half a mil. After 30 years I’d have paid off more than a mil.

The company I rent from just got their financing much earlier, and in very big quantities. (Eg it has 100s to 1000s apartments and houses.)

Every year I make more money, every year the place I live is more difficult to buy.

Ah, that’s what I had first, but then I was like, that doesn’t sound like music 😄

Since Israel can join Eurovision festival I see no reason why Canada can’t join the European Union.

I don’t know man, if you play Stairway to Heaven backwards it says “Here’s to my sweet Satan” at various points.

This all stems from claims made by Televangelist Paul Crouch in 1982. Crouch claimed on his TBN show that when you play Led Zeppelin’s classic ‘Stairway to Heaven’ backwards, the “bustle in your hedgerow” line of the tune actually says: “Here’s to my sweet Satan/The one whose little path would make me sad, whose power is Satan/He will give those with him 666/There was a little toolshed where he made us suffer, sad Satan”.

We should be ruled by your iron fist!

It looks that way because Costco’s stock per unit is around 10x of that of Walmart.* Costco did grow more in five years. 220% vs 150% of Walmart.

*There are many mode units of Walmart stock so the company is worth more in total. But you’d be better of buying COST five years ago. For the soul and wallet 😄)

That was the case before, see “Fortunate son” the song.

Only for the young people of course, them republican boomers already put in a honest days work. Uphill both ways.

I saw a link on Lemmy to a “GoG” clone on which you can download all games for free.

Like of all the places not to pirate I would assume the company that enforces no DRM, direct downloads that you can save indefinitely and that makes older games work on newer hardware, would be on the top of that list.

Since those are such common complaints on why to pirate.

Next to that they have deals often where the prices are already really low.

Competing with free is near impossible.
