For Western Europe, Loom is my favourite BIFL shop. Website is in French only: https://www.loom.fr/

Everything is made in France or Portugal from Western European fabrics. Their boxer briefs and their socks (cotton or wool) are amazing; I'm still waiting for them to make brassieres :D

I'm super close to my neighbours. We help each other out constantly. We also managed to plant several fruit trees next to the building, so we make cakes and jelly relatively often with the fruit, spending the afternoon together while they simmer. Also, we have a Signal group, and that's cool.

Definitely asshole at the very least

Yeah, I think you should have put a more appropriate title. :)

I was about to dunk on you for sharing such a Bad Take and then I saw your comment, phew

I use it sometimes to make sure I stop a hyperfocus I don't want to have. Of course I generally then ignore the alarm but sometimes it helps!

It means that you can't move. There are many cases where people sell their houses, either out of want (they're moving somewhere else), or necessity (they can't afford the upkeep or really need the money right now, etc.)

If you take out a mortgage, you should be able to afford it with your income,

True. But income changes with time and it doesn't always go up.

Negative equity means someone who lost their job can't sell their house and get enough money to support them and get a smaller house. It's bad because real estate is supposed to be the most reliable investment: it's a plan B (and usually more of a plan C) and if that fails, people may have nothing left at all.

Gorgeous!
