There’s also bads that go along with goods
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goods
Goods can be contrasted with bads, i.e. things that provide negative value for users, like chores or waste. A bad lowers a consumer’s overall welfare.
See, this is why we call it “Movable” and “Immovable” goods in Dutch, much more sensible.
And we’ve got a lovely archaic wordt for it too! “Onroerend goed”.
Not to be confused with “ontroerend goed”, which moves you (emotionally)
I looked it up, real property is the stuff you own that is not movable; you can’t move a piece of land, it’s just gonna be where it is. It’s also property that is affected by the environment around it in a way that other property isn’t. If your neighbor uses a cheap phone, your phone does not depreciate in value as a result.
The opposite of real property isn’t fake property, it’s personal property. That covers your stuff and also things that aren’t physical but you own anyway, like intellectual property.
“Realty” redirects here; not to be confused with reality.
I love this
The tumblr UI changes annoy me irrationally.
I read the title as “fuck e-state” and was like “what the hell have the tech bros done now”
e-state is the metaverse
2 hours is a pretty long draw. That would probably get you shot.
it’s called “real” because it’s real.
the opposite would be fashion, or music, or comedy, which only exists in our minds.
