Your views align pretty closely with mine: ignorance isn't a cardinal sin, but willful ignorance is.

The fact that you're taking an educational approach rather than coming after me with a board that has a nail sticking out of it is refreshing for online communities. More people need to just chill.

On dude: sorry, my age is showing - lexicon needs an update and I haven't got there yet but I'm working on it

No one:

Absolutely no one:

I rented out my condo while I was doing my MSc in another province - I wanted to hold on to the place, and couldn't on a student stipend. I had bought it when I was working in industry and making good coin.

it's hard to find half decent renters, but if you can, they're amazing

I admitted I was unread on topic, and didn't know where I fit on the scale. There's nothing wrong with stating my current understanding, with large caveats, which is what I did. Further, another commentator shared a bunch of resources rather than taking a 'git good' approach

Ladies and gentlemen, this style of exchange is why Lemmy is substantially better than Reddit, how Reddit was even as far back as 2012. Or any other online platform. Online civility is a lost art on most platforms. Instead of calling me some uneducated cuck and wishing my children die in a house fire, Sims provided resources, and even suggests that reading these resources when I have time is totally fine, rather than calling me an uneducated fuck stain for not having read them earlier.

Thanks for being a cool human, my dude

Whoops. I'm pulling from several different sources. This one came from discord, but someone clearly beat me to it.

And yeah, I'm lazy af. I'm not checking if it's been posted already.

Thanks - I'll admit I'm pretty unread on a lot of it. I know what I want I just don't know where I fit yet

Sure.

I don't know where I sit, to be honest. I'm anti-capitalist, but at the same time, I'm not exactly an anarchist because keeping everything at the local level smacks of inefficiency, promotes tribalism, and doesn't really allow for coordination.

Having some form of government is helpful as long as it's held strictly accountable. Otherwise, it's just 100,000 voices screaming, as people all try to push individual agendas.

While a complete lack of structure maximizes individual freedoms, it also makes individuals more vulnerable because there aren't institutions to help them if they need it.

Sigh. Fine I guess I'll change it

I thought they attributed their decline due to the introduction of rats from colonial ships. Rats ate a bunch of seeds etc. and did what invasive vertebrates do on island: destroy the ecosystem.
