One thing to note on your first point: Equity loss doesn't make a difference if there is no mortgage. When housing prices are stagnate or increase, you can sell your home for a similar one with little to no loss (the buyer of your house effectively pays of your old mortgage and you roll your equity into your new mortgage).
BUT, if prices tank while you still have a significant portion of your mortgage owed: you're screwed when you need to relocate. The sell price of your house won't cover the reminder of the mortgage. If you need to move, you either pay it off (hope you don't need to move for work) or foreclose. The bank is cool with either - they couldn't care less about you.
Was... Was this response written by Claude? Are all of your responses written by Claude? They have the same tone and written idiosyncrasies as the aforementioned bot.
I think that it's cool that AI is allowing people to prototype that, otherwise, never would have touched code - so props to you for that. But, if you no longer have your own voice on a public forum; Please touch some grass, my guy.
Took a look through the codebase and it seems like it could be but it's hard to tell for sure. Some things that would lead me to believe it's AI:
Emojis in the readme (specifically in a bulleted list, starting each sentence).
Big, highly descriptive, extremely consistent comment blocks for every main function.
The shear amount of files and code and the consistency of which it was written (this could also be due to golang's style enforcement). If written by a person, they're beyond OCD levels of organized.
With that being said; who cares if it was made with AI? If it was: it seems thoughtfully guided by someone and it probably works fine. And if it wasn't: this dev is nuts and just breathes production level code, no matter the project complexity haha.
Do you want to actually have a rock solid (albeit, boring) computing experience? Mint or Debian (I know you said no Debian but everyone always come back to the big D eventually)
Do you want a neat flavor-of-the month distro that you'll tinker with for a while and ultimately move on from? Void is pretty cool
Honorable mention: NixOS. It's different but when it clicks for people, they never use anything else
Holy shit y'all. This is the most blatantly obvious romance scam I've seen in a while. This dude is just running a thot-bot account. Don't fall for this shit you horny dumbasses!
Radball is what you're looking for. It's soccer on fixed gear bicycles, you can only touch the ball with your bike (except the goalie), and you can't let your feet touch the ground.
Yeah, the first one on the 360 was called Earth Defense Force 2017 (actually the 3rd game in the series). I've played a bunch of EDF 2017 and 2025 and they are so fun. I'm glad they're still making them; those games are so over-the-top. If you don't care about graphics and just want something fun, I highly recommend.

Of course it's a Hi-Point...

Guys don't buy into this and definitely don't DM him. It's a thot-bot.
JFC, I thought that the people of Lemmy were smarter than this.
Songs for the Deaf - Queens of the Stone Age
In my opinion, it's one of the most solid albums ever, start-to-finish - the kind of album that's great on tape.

Earth Defense Force is a terrible looking game with an even worse premise and is fun as hell.
