congrats you’re ready for the next step: a declarative package configuration like (non-)guix or nixos
When you sell your home, you won’t get back any of the money you gave to the bank as interest, but in theory everything else including your down payment will be returned to you.
and your partner would get nothing if she “bolted” even though she paid money so you could have it
I mean when you’re renting a place you’re more than likely helping the owner pay off their loan anyway. It’s just another step removed.
and you think thats fair??? “It’s a bit like I’m the landlord and my partner is the tenant” is the argument I’m trying to make
well to me it doesn’t seem fair for the non-owner to help pay off the house and the other getting to own all of it.
The price for owning that house is not just the loan but the interest as well. A home is more than a financial investment, but a necessity. Imagine buying a car that you let your SO use but insisting that she pay a quarter of the cost because the car loses half its value as soon as you drive it off the lot and it’s only fair that she pay half of that money thats “lost” but then keeping all the money once you sell the car to yourself
it’s the cost of purchasing a house. Two people paying a landlord is more similar to having two girlfriends who pay off the mortgage. This is more like one person sharing the cost of the loan on a house they won’t get to keep.
wtffff those poor mice
that still means she helped pay off the mortgage, and she should accordingly own a part of the house even if she “bolted”
if she helps pay the mortgage or renovations or anything that increases the value of the house she gets to own part of the house otherwise its completely unfair, split utilities according to income and thats it.
Probably best to let her dictate the price though since there is such an imbalance of power at play
welcome to denial city, neoliberalington. Everyone here is stuck in 2020 (minus covid, thats long forgotten) and still full on slava ukraini

The issue with that is that the production of arms in the EU is next non-existent when compared to Russia and the US. Europe has been heavily de-industrialized and already has problems covering its energy budget. You can’t just throw money at that problem, because you don’t just need to rebuild factories, but infrastructure. Not to mention the brain-drain caused by academics moving to the US and China where actual research happens.
I don’t see it
ok and I will be judging you for it. I am that invested in how strangers on the internet do their grocery shopping after all.
no such thing as bad weather only inappropriate clothing. Unless it’s so bad you can’t even walk but then you probably can’t drive either.
yeah spends it on US weapons. It’s a money laundering front to funnel european public money to private US investors
I mean it hits some of the notes of the people that make fun of “strong female characaters” so I can see how a tired mod might have mistaken it for one.
deutsche bank does some of the evilest shit out there
