Canadian population growth to drive home prices higher and faster: Report in c/canada@lemmy.ca

[–] rinze 8 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I'm originally from Spain. I know very well these messages from our bubble (which exploded --sort of-- around 2007 - 2008). "House prices can only go up because X".

Then, for whatever reason, Y happens, and it turns out that Y >> X.

I know how this ends, and it's not pretty.

How do you decide when to give up on a book? in c/books@lemmy.ml

[–] rinze 1 points 2 years ago

I don't typically give up. I mostly read non-fiction, so I always wait to see if there's something for me past page 200.

I gave up on "Foucault's Pendulum". I started it as a teenager and obviously it was way above my league. I still want to pick it up again at some point in the future.

I also passed on "Postmodernism, or, the Cultural Logic of Late Capitalism", because I couldn't even understand the introduction.

archive.is / archive.ph (both domains work) is typically very good for this. https://archive.ph/qbym4

I knew there was a huge storm coming because I follow the #montreal tag on Mastodon and someone posted the warning immediately.
