  • Coops already exist. Basically they’re already set up so that when people move in, they own part of it, and when they move out, they don’t. The technical legal details of it varies from your country, region, municipality, etc, but from my basic understanding, when you sign your contract, it includes saying “you own this building with us until you move out. We might ask you to move out if you poop in the communal garden.”

    Edit: re-reading your post, I realize I’m not sure if you mean the entire building or a single unit, but either way you can have similar arrangements.




  • Short answer: mental illness

    Long answer: it will vary from various iterations, but often Bruce Wayne is minimally present as a CEO (which, eyy, not really different from most of them.) Bruce Wayne / Batman is able to rest while crime exists in the same way an insomniac rests on itchy sheets in the middle of a parade: he doesn’t. He is beyond obsessed on stopping crime, to the detriment of his health and safety, as well as those around him. His entire entourage regularly pushes him to slow down, rest, take time to heal, etc, and he keeps getting up. It’s beyond his (present) ability to control. There’s been a few instances (like with Andrea in Mask of the Phantasm) where he does find himself at peace and can move on, but mostly, he’s a prisoner of his own trauma. It’s been stated multiple times that his obsession is no different than the Joker’s or the Riddler’s.

    The science is pretty clear; gun control works. Every time you repeal gun control laws, loosen restrictions, open gun stores, gun-related deaths escalate, often dramatically. States with higher gun ownership rates have higher rates of homicides caused by guns. Even a 1% reduction in gun related deaths would be the equivalent of 2,500 people per year. Kids die more often from gun-related deaths than car-related deaths.

    Mass shootings also barely make up 1% of gun-related deaths, so the science behind them isn’t as well studied, but things like reducing magazine sizes shows a correlated relation in reduction of mass shootings.

    (Some of the sauce)


  • SR1 was nowhere near as bad as Tomb Raider. The combat was a bit boring and the puzzles were repetitive, but the platforming was significantly more viable than Tomb Raider.

    I mean, I haven’t touched either game in over two decades, and I only briefly played Tomb Raider versus the hundreds of hours I spent in all the Legacy of Kain games, and I frequently watch cutscene “movies” of the LoK titles, but I’m sure that hasn’t created a bias in me whatsoever.
