Right, that’s kind of what I’m saying, the book mentions a person with a name and location (ish). Then finding a guy there when the name is fairly common does not equate all things said about him to be true. Far from it it seems. Especially if the book has fantastical claims outside the realm of reality about said person and is inconsistent on his story.

At best you get a King Arthur story, was there a king or ruler in said period for (part of) England? Probably. Did he become king because he pulled out a magical sword from the rock? I would assume not.

There are even stories that Arthur never died and will return one day…

Since it was a fairly common name, you might as well say John from Richmond is a confirmed individual.

Here in the Netherlands the “pigeon racing” sport is still relatively alive, but does have an aging target group. Pigeons are driven somewhere many miles anyway, (well km’s) and released, first home gets a price.

There are breeders and trainers etc.

Also, Gangnam style. 13 years ago.

Children, which to me is everyone born in the 2005+ are already turning 20. Hell, the iPhone can already vote.

If you periodically have to turn off checkboxes in products to feel your data is better protected:

• just move to something else

That way you also stop sponsoring said company.

Well, not just that….

Steve Jobs also famously only made one dollar a year. Because normal income is taxed much more than giving yourself stock and calling it unrealized gains. You cannot be a billionaire without being a parasite.

True, mortgage does not increase over time. As long as I stay put it is somewhat limited but over enough time that will be a significant factor.

True true, I try to invest most of the difference, hopefully that will be worth something too when I need it.

My rent is around 1800 euro, if I’d buy this apartment, my mortgage would be around 3000. That’s for more than half a mil. After 30 years I’d have paid off more than a mil.

The company I rent from just got their financing much earlier, and in very big quantities. (Eg it has 100s to 1000s apartments and houses.)

Every year I make more money, every year the place I live is more difficult to buy.
