It will force them to sell, which will perhaps make buying a home more affordable, so less people have to pay rent and more people pay a mortgage on a home they bought.

You just believe in humanity more than I do. It's gotta be mean somehow. If she's on the Switch and that's the Switch layout, it's because the husband just wants to distract her or make fun of how she looks down at the controller. The meme also suggests that the husband made the meme, so just publishing the meme and turning his wife into a meme is pretty cruel and harsh. I mean, is this what humanity is? Now we turn our loved ones into memes making fun of them on the Internet? So glad you don't love me. I mean, if you loved me, maybe you'd make fun of me in a fucking meme.

The poor little landlords! They have to find something else to do with their lives besides sitting on their rear ends most of the month and laughing all the way to the bank once a month.

That's just mean. But really funny.

I'm older (49) and suckier, but I beat Super Mario Bros 1 to 3. I played Kirby and I don't know... I don't wish it was harder. Part of the fun was that it was easy I think.

I've just started A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius by Dave Eggers. I saw it on the shelf at the library yesterday and said, "Hmmm, I remember when this came out and I forgot to read it." So, 24 years later I'm finally reading it. So far, it's really good. I enjoy books that are playful with the reader, self-aware narrators, etc. and this one starts that way right off the bat. You're even invited to send your copy of the book back to the publisher in exchange for something else! It's truly a heartbreaking story but with a huge sense of humor. *edit: Well, I finished AHWOSG faster than expected because I couldn't put it down all weekend. I've started two more: Salem's Lot by Stephen King and About Grace by Anthony Doerr.
