Yeah totally, but that's why it links to the threads with the full context if you click on the modlog

Agree to disagree. Shutdown all the ski resorts in Colorado and see what happens to property values over the next 20 years. The proportion of land might be small, but the population and monetary influx is massive.

In order for housing to be expensive, people need to have the money to pay for it. If there's no high paying jobs within hundreds of miles, and there's no tourism money, the demand simply won't be there and prices will fall. Again, look at the Appalachians and the Adirondacks for example. Ever since the advent of air travel, they've been steadily depopulated and economically depressed, as people from the cities prefer to vacation in more remote locations, such as the Rockies.

I should also acknowledge that a lot of land out west is owned by the government or other major groups, and that probably also plays a role. I'm not as familiar with the real estate market of Wyoming as I'd like to be. But I can't help but dispute your assertion that prices are high because building is expensive. Seems like a tautology somehow.

If you're building a brand new house you're already outside the realm of affordability. In general, rural areas have an excess of housing stock due to the strong trend of urbanization over the past century.

Also, the fact that building in remote areas is expensive doesn't contradict the fact that ski resorts drive massive real estate inflation in the surrounding areas.

It's mainly because of the ski resorts afaik. But yes, that's fair.

Absolutely. That's true for mountainous regions in general. Lack of navigable rivers, difficulty of transportation, lack of farmable land, harsh climate, etc.

In the modern world we have developed technology to mitigate these issues so you have some exceptions, like the Alps and the Rockies to some extent. But historically, wealth was always concentrated in the coastal and agriculturally productive regions.

Bodies of water? Sure, that land can be pricy, although not in every case.

Mountains? Nah those areas are usually pretty inexpensive, at least in the US. Appalachia being a prime example.

I guess on the bright side at least it shows the text of the comments that got removed right there, and links directly to the thread. So people can easily verify for themselves whether they would agree with the ban or not. It's more of an annoyance than anything, they can put whatever reason they want for banning you, but they can't edit your comments or control the words you actually wrote down. So if you stand by what you wrote and others agree with your perspective, it just makes the mod look bad and they can also get removed for abusing mod powers.

Ah, the ole' fiddler/diddler switcheroo.

The Diddler on the Roof does sound like it'd make for a captivating musical though. Shades of The Nightman Cometh.

Indeed, sorry to hear that

I’ve always wanted to see a mod list that breaks down “local”. Like, you look at .worlds modlist from the main page, and it’s every mod action from every federate instance.

Yeah that'd be nice. Modlog has always left much to be desired. Although the core concept is great, it's not fleshed out enough to be as useful as it should be. Sometimes it can even be weaponized by rogue mods to slander certain users. Because when you ban someone, that mod action is permanent and you get to put whatever text you want as the ban reason.

It definitely needs work but I can understand other things taking priority, considering most users will never interact with the modlog anyway.

I think they were joking but they might just be old. Smacking the shit out of your kids used to be normal not so long ago.

I feel you homie. But honestly 50-100 years is plenty, that's a long time to be alive. Based on what you said, you understand that this shit gets exhausting after a while. But then again, sometimes memories can be more enjoyable than the actual experiences. It's very common that we experience things in life and don't fully appreciate them until we look back in hindsight.

Mainly if you are physically healthy and able to live comfortably in society, you should enjoy it as much as you can, because most other people don't have it as good and they still find a way to make the most of it.

To answer your question, never. I just wanted to do my own thing and read or play video games, it seemed better to avoid my parents' attention rather than seek it out.
