    A rent freeze is decent, but what would really help is everywhere to implement caps on how much you’re allowed to charge for rent and utilities. Without those, then they’ll just raise prices by however much the freeze cost them. UBI will also be ineffective without it cause they’ll just raise prices by however much the UBI is.


  • A lot of people tend to want to study things they’re interested in, even if it doesn’t lead to a high paying job. You said yourself she was interested in English literature so that’s why she went with that as her major. It’s also a lot easier to learn and study something you actually care about than something you find boring or are just doing it to get paid. Like if I went to college, I’d find film studies classes or possibly some math ones way more for me cause I like that stuff, but if you tried to force me to take classes to become a doctor, lawyer, or trade school I’d flunk out hard and/or struggle to even get a passing grade.







  • Pokemon Legends Arceus. I bought into the hype after it released cause my friends were playing it non-stop and assured me that anything I thought I wouldn’t like about it wasn’t actually in the game or wasn’t as bad as I thought. I got it and could only play till the Lilligant battle before dropping it. I still adore most mainline Pokemon games (although Scarlet and Violet might be my jumping off point cause I didn’t like the story or open world), but this was way too much of a departure from what I liked about Pokemon for me.



  • Honestly as someone who has played a lot of Ubisoft open world games and really didn’t like BotW (haven’t played TotK cause why would I) it did feel pretty similar to those games with the only difference being the map didn’t tell you where the collectibles/challenges were at. You still have the big radio tower things you climb to get info on the surrounding area and the korok seeds/shrines would feel no different from Ubisoft slop if the map showed where they were. That’s the only difference I felt between the two.
