I hate all forms a "sweet" food, I always get the no sugar versions.

I'm curious what oat milk you buy then. Virtually all oat milks have twice the sugar of 'regular' milk.

It's expected for what would otherwise be low-sugar dairy alternatives (such as soy and almond) to have sugar added. It's an alternative to milk. Milk naturally has sugar, and it wouldn't taste good if it didn't have any. Only sweetened soymilk has a nutritional profile similar to that of milk.

I honestly just use plant milks for everything where I would need milk. Used to use soy, but that was a bit thick for my tastes. I usually use almond with occasionally using oat. I would use oat milk all the time, but it is too expensive.

Actual milk and even the lactose free stuff just tastes like lard dissolved in water to me now.

Try other brands of soy. I've never had the thickness issue with it that you describe. Soy (or pea) really is the only suitable alternative to dairy.

Oat and almond milk are essentially expensive sugar water (almond being water intensive and diluted sugar water) devoid of any real nutrition. One might as well be drinking soda.

And if someone is only using it as a splash in coffee or tea, just go for non dairy creamer.

I'm okay with people having a different opinion then me on the issue.

I'm not okay with people who go around trying to force their political beliefs onto others

If someone is pro life, they either

1. have put thought into it and still arrived at their pro life stance, which is despicable

or

2. make the decision they're pro life despite having put little to no thought into such an important topic, which is despicable

True, but it tends to go down if you make a lot more one year than the year before if you don't think ahead.

That said I usually pay in (because I want my money earlier) so it's not an exciting day for me.

I make too much where I dont get crap back I was disappointed but my gf was like how much were you making when you got a good return versus how much your making now. And its like good point

what. your refund has nothing to do with whether you make a lot or a little. it's just a function of how accurately you withheld

imo if you have to wait for a tax refund to afford something

then you can't afford it even with the refund

I refuse to believe this isn't a sassy grown up theater kid's satire

If you need a car and there's a unit for sale without parking, it's not for you and that's okay. Not everything has to be.

People exclude homes from their search for tons of reasons. Numbers of room types, whether it's single story, location, HOA, whether it has a yard, whether it has a basement, what side of the unit windows are located, and so on.

The great thing about not building parking is that it allows significantly more people to fit per unit area. Not building parking is part of the solution to the problem you're proposing.

I'm giving up on them

Because now they have a bunch of houses with nowhere to parks cars that they need

I think you're neglecting the extremely simple solution here: people who need cars wouldn't live there

both same brand fit, style size etc

bought this second pair online because the first fit so well. literally first time wearing it today and it's uncomfortably tight, unusable

I eat enough fruits veggies beans and nuts that there's virtually never anything to wipe anyway, but I'll always give a double check just in case

some ppl see "owning lots of crap" as an IRL achievement and it's easier to visualize physical collections

What Im taking about is if two people had the same amino of land, but one just had more lawn where the other have a driveway

If you don't have a car you don't need the same amount of land. That's the entire point. You should be able to buy a bigger lot that can fit your car if you want. Don't force me to do it. Let me buy a smaller cheaper one.

LinkPizza posted...

I dont think they should be paying more unless its just for more land which obviously cost more.

Unfortunately we live on earth and storing cars does in fact take up space (land) that cannot be used for other things.

LinkPizza posted...

what I mean is the developer is still going to try to make the most money he can.

You have discovered capitalism! Sellers will always try to get the most money from the sale, and buyers will try to get the most value for their money. If a developer lists two properties for the same price, but one has 20% more property due to a garage and or driveway, guess what that will do to demand? More people bid on the bigger lot because it's "more for your money" and the price goes up. The only world where you expect both would sell for the same is if the extra space and structures afforded for parking provides no positive OR negative value to the buyer or seller.

LinkPizza posted...

I know. What Im saying is sounds like someone is getting screwed. In the end, the developer wants to sell units, and either way, they usually will But it sounds like in this case, someones getting screwed somewhere and getting less money (or paying more)

homebuyers who want to buy lots with parking would be paying more. As they should.

LinkPizza posted...

Would the developer have to pay more? Thats what is sounds like, at least. More houses would cost more to build due to labor, but also due to materials. I dont see how hed pay the same amount when hes building more house, even if for the same amount of land more houses is more labor and more materials. I still see someone getting shorted

developers want to build more units. that's how they make money. building and selling units.

what gives!!

Making them too short also means buses probably wouldnt be able to go too far, and would make everything much more confusing Not only that, but would increase the amount of buses needed

Individual buses routes shouldn't need to go far. They're intended for local travel. Longer distance travel is where rail comes in.

Part of the problem is people living 60 miles away from their place of work or 20 miles from their nearest grocery store. Which people only do because that inefficient and wasteful lifestyle is heavily subsidized by others.

I imagine that behavior would change pretty quickly if people actually paid the true cost of doing so. Sub/exurban single family homes would pay at least 5x the property tax they do now, and gas would be priced about twice what it is now cover its negative externalities

Its only more money if people decide to pay more money for them Less land, and no space for parking or garage for storage could end up making those houses less desirable, which could end up lowering the prices Most people arent going to play the same price for a house when they get less land overall And basically have no place for a vehicle. Because most people would still want to have their own vehicle, even if they normally use public transport Or space for others who visit to park

Less money earned per housing unit (yay from buyer perspective for lower home price) but more money earned in total because you can develop more units, and parking is the least profitable part of the unit, next to lawns.

Fares also wont get us much. The fares they currently get is not even enough to run the bus station. Its currently needs the city to keep paying it constantly They dont actually seem to make a profit Like at all And lots of people can get reduced bud fare in most cases. Like children, the elderly, and college students. They also might have a military thing, as well And most people who ride the buses everyday get the month pass thing. You pay a pretty cheap price and get a month pass that you can use for like 31 days or something. Its to help out, and its probably the only things this city does right. But that also means that fares, which are already low, would probably stay low, and not offset any cost And the front-end cost would end up being a ton to change a whole city around to be public transport friendly And thats not even getting in the amount of money the bus station would need for more buses, fuel, and literally everything else they need. And more space for everything

roads and personal vehicles don't make profit either. they're notoriously expensive.

As for space, I don't think you realize how much space within cities is dedicated to parking. Sometimes over half of all space. Even if you make more space for bus depots, you come out ahead by greatly reducing parking.

It costs so much to build and maintain extensive car infrastructure that it can save cities money to operate alternative modes 'at a loss' because it gets people out of cars.

And parking lots bring in very little tax revenue to the city. Replace parking with residences or business and voila, your city isn't insolvent any more.

you didn't get my bumblebee joke yet you are putting together Lego Optimus Prime smh

aisle seats should be the most expensive and you should be able to save money by taking the inner seats. but at the same time people who get up mid flight should more than once should have to pay an inconvenience fee to the ppl who move to let them out, so ppl don't just take the cheap window seat but then keep getting up

both lol and that's adorable

Yes, the planet is doomed but not because of fucking cars.

not just cars, nah, but in part.

cars, aviation, animal agriculture, single family homes and the unending manufacturer/purchase of wasteful crap covers most of the bases.

I don't expect everybody to be perfect in all these dimensions, but when most people in the US lean heavily into most of these categories (on a global scale), it's not a good sign

coincidentally they're all things that are encouraged by being cheaper for the consumer than the cost incurred by society. and we could change that, thus allowing people to make rational choices based on the true costs of their consumption

Well aren't you just lucky to be wealthy enough to fly any other way. 99% of us don't have a choice.

you don't have to fly at all. many people never fly.

people spending $900 / month on car expenses and cities simultaneously going bankrupt over suburban sprawl, it's lose/lose for everyone but car manufacturers and fossil fuel companies

it's absolutely insane how much governments subsidize car-centric life just to make people fatter and poorer than they could be otherwise, while encouraging the worst possible behaviors re: climate change
