Fantastic read, thanks for sharing. At a realistic interest rate, the savings per month are literally just a few dollars. Unbelievable.
This idea seems like something that someone who understands absolutely nothing about economics and doesn’t care to learn anything beyond initial vibes would latch onto, which is precisely why Donald Trump is pushing it.
You’re right, but he did say the monthly payment was the difference, not the interest payments. That typically doesn’t change throughout the life of the loan. I wonder what the math formula looks like for a 50 year fixed?
Isn’t that just renting?
Just FYI after the 5th one I’m just cumming air at that point, but if there are 2,430 women out there who want to give it a try anyway be my guest.
I have never had any encounters with shit on the streets of SF. Now granted, I haven’t worked in the city in almost a decade, but this reputation it seems to have is nothing new.
I think if SF business owners weren’t so fuckin’ stingy about people using their restrooms then the people who can’t afford to buy something at the grossly inflated SF prices just for the privilege of accessing a sanitary place to relieve themselves in privacy that the rest of us take for granted each day would be a lot less likely to shit or piss on the streets.
I remember waiting for the train after a night of particularly heavy drinking, and it was a 20+ minute wait for the next BART train, and I was already doing the pee dance on the platform. I knew I wasn’t going to make it to the south bay before my bladder exploded. Station restrooms were already locked (even though trains were still running), so I went out to Market street and entered a nearby McDonalds. Asked to use their restroom, said I would buy something from their menu if necessary. Nope, they refused. I wasn’t about to pee my pants, so you know what I did? I went and I pissed on the street right in front of their front doors. Problem solved.
If you leave people no possible way to do something “correctly”, don’t be surprised if they start doing it incorrectly on purpose.
This is maybe getting a bit off topic, but I would actually love to read a book about how these various pro wrestling moves were developed over time. If you were to ask me to choreograph a new signature move for a wrestler, I probably wouldn’t be able to come up with anything that isn’t already a variation of a move that already exists in some form.
Sure, you could, absolutely. There are times when it is convenient to have one. For example, most fast food establishments will provide you a drink cup with a lid and straw. You could just rip the lid off and drink it normally, but if you are driving (which you probably are if you are getting fast food) and want a sip of your drink, it’s a lot easier to just grab the cup and take a sip through a straw than it is to grab the open container and tilt it. Not to mention the chance you might hit a bump or brake hard and have it spill, either while you are trying to drink from it or even just when it’s sitting in the cupholder if partially full.
All of them?
All of them.
I think the mushroom trips feel like they take hours to the person taking it, but really hardly any time passes at all.
I wouldn’t know. Haven’t had a chance to do it yet.
Jesus fucking christ, that’s incredible. I don’t know what any of that software engineering stuff is, but based on your description of events, it just sounds like a waking nightmare.
If it makes you feel better, companies like that where upper management are quick to throw people under the bus for their own fuck ups are usually not long for this world. They’ll continue to make bad decisions and the effects will be felt both downstream with low employee morale and retention rates, as well as commercial loss for the company. You are much better off being valued for your work elsewhere.
Sega Dreamcast is not an example of a console that I would describe as “built to last”. I had two and both of them died in the same way - the optical lens cracked from heat stress and stopped reading disks. There was never any warning it was about to happen, and no way to prevent it as far as I knew.
As unlucky as I was with the Dreamcast, I made up for it by only ever having to buy one Xbox 360. I still own my original console which was never refurbished and never red ringed on me.
Separate the whole thing into 10 equal sized pieces and then eat one of them?
Call me crazy, but maybe I’m uncomfortable associating an entire ethnic group with words written in a book over two millenia ago. Times change, and society changes along with it.
I don’t know a single person who follows the bible/torah/quran as an absolutist. Everyone from every religion and every sect likes to pick and choose what they like to follow.
If someone is committing an act of genocide against another people, I can guarantee they were going to do it regardless of what their silly book says about it.
I have way too many of these and have lost count over time. Porn/porn games, old flash games/animations from Newgrounds, classic memes that only I seem to remember, stuff I saw for sale once upon a time that are sold out and can’t be found anywhere anymore, esoteric collectibles, comments I made on videos or posts literal decades ago, old websites long since defunct and so far lost that even wayback machine doesn’t have them on record, underground/indie music recordings that I definitely had at one point and then lost when switching hard drives out. The list definitely goes on but those are the ones off the top of my head.
I wouldn’t paint with such broad strokes. Jews aren’t the ones to blame for that, the state of Israel is. Just because their state sanctioned religion is Judaism doesn’t mean their philosophy is inherently genocidal.
That being said, if all the monotheistic abrahamic derivatives fell off the face of the earth, I think we’d be set on a better course as a species.
Not only is this a ripoff, but traveling to the United States right now from literally any foreign country is a terrible idea.
If you get picked up off the street by the secret police, there’s nobody who can come to your aid at that point.
Coming up with a stage name is usually something that agents will tell their clients to do if their name sounds “too ethnic”. Happens when they are auditioning for roles, not when they get famous.
Random fact I heard the other day: Leonardo DiCaprio almost sent out headshots with a stage name at the advice of his agent, but his dad talked him out of it and told him to be proud of his name. I forget what they told him his stage name should be, but it was way more generic and forgettable than his real name.
Date pays for their stuff, you pay for your own. Basically, separate tabs.
To be clear, I would have paid if she had asked me to at the time. When the bill came for the food, I asked if she wanted separate or together, but my phrasing made it sound like I wanted to split it and she said that was fine. Whoops.
Don’t worry, she’s making up for lost time. I pay for almost everything when we go out now 😅
