People don't like people who complain because those who complain bring misery to their friends etc. whom they share the complaints with...

That's why I'm not gonna complain right now...

Instead I'm just gonna say what my complaint was gonna be about.

It was gonna be about that some program didn't have some feature...even though I'm not even sure the program is open source...so modifying it if it wasn't would be highly impractical and also illegal.

Day 22 cont 📻💰💰💰🏡⚠️

Cont:

You: Phyllis is the first one, I guess.

Phyllis: I've broken the mould.
PM: Well, you're not ... you're not actually #complaining. What you're really saying is the value of [your] house hasn't gone up enough.

Phyllis: No, no, no. I disagree. I think it is ridiculous that the #inflation of house prices ... what about our #grandchildren?
PM: Well look, that is a valid point and I've acknowledged that.

I'm not saying there aren't problems for people buying for the first time, but you have to look at it in terms of both #existing #HomeOwners and #future home owners and what we have to try and do, and you quite rightly identify in relation to your grandchildren, is to find ways of mitigating the #cost of getting into your first home.

But we can't, and shouldn't do that at the cost of reducing the wealth effect and the wealth value of people who have existing properties, there's nothing to be gained by that. We have to find some other ways of #ameliorating the cost of buying your first home.

Phyllis: I think some commonsense has to be thrown into the arena just the same. You know, it's ridiculous. I mean, *you're not seeing value in the $500,000 you're spending on some broken down old dump* and…

PM: No, well...
Phyllis: That's where we are at the moment.”

Scott the F is implicit Baxter

Making music - trying to cover a song with some stretched-out fretting (3-7th fret)... and it's hard keeping the G string ringing.
I blew off recording last week, and it feels like I may blow it off again.
I don't know whether I should just find something easy to play.
I often try stuff that's hard for me, and do a version with many mistakes, rather than play something easier, with fewer mistakes.

Kagan MacTane (he/him)

Did a decent amount of reasonably good stuff at work today, but by the time I got home, I was (and still am) feeling like utter crap.

I was going to clean up the apartment some before my partner comes over tomorrow, and also want to do some writing, but it's anyone's guess how much of either of those things will happen.

I can just be sitting here in the very comfy armchair, and all of sudden things will ache. Being old really sucks.
