It should get OP a ban. What’s the point of defederation if someone from .ml is just going to bring all that shit here?

From cheap to very expensive and everything in-between. Big resealable bags to get the per cup price down. Having a couple small canisters you can refill from the bags makes it so you don’t open the big bags too often, if you did it every day it would probably get stale.

A very generous reward program that basically gets you 10% back.

And they always give me a few samples with each order. I’ve been turned on to some new stuff that way.

I usually get a few big bags of my staples (which are medium price) and some smaller weights of nicer stuff for when I want a really good pot.

For the sake of anyone in the future that might be subjected to the inane bullshit that issues from your deficient mind, I really hope you do feel that way. Sometimes valuable lessons are hard to hear. Good luck applying them, I’m sure everyone in your life would appreciate it.

I’m not trying to win by insulting you, I’m doing that because you deserve it. You should feel bad about what you are. If you feel shame for it maybe you’ll keep your mouth shut like a good little halfwit instead of vomiting out bullshit that might influence others to make a bad decision.

You can’t win so you keep putting words in my mouth. I never said mortgages are a risk and I absolutely didn’t say they were a loss in value. I’d say I didn’t know where you’re getting that, but it’s probably right out of your ass like everything else. I not saying now that there aren’t risks involved in buying a house but I never said there were, because that’s not what I’ve been talking about. I’ve just been refuting your nonsense about home equity as it applies to net worth and the rate you gain equity after buying.

In case you forgot, once again:

You said you have to pay off 50% of a house before it’s positive to your net worth. That’s not just wrong, it’s dumb as fuck.

You said it takes years or decades to break even selling a house. That’s not just wrong, it’s dumb as fuck.

Are you mentally impaired? Like diagnosed? I don’t want to make fun of you if you are, that would be mean.

Stop putting words in my mouth and stop moving the goalposts.

You said you have to pay 50% of your mortgage before a house adds to your net worth. That isn’t just wrong, it’s dumb as fuck.

You said it takes years or decades to be able to break even selling a house. That’s not just wrong, it’s dumb as fuck.

Whether or not is a smart idea for a particular person to buy a particular house or if it’s a good idea to invest in real estate vs something else are different discussions. I would bet it’s a bad idea for you because you seem unable to grasp even the most basic concepts.

But if you want to pretend you’re arguing with someone who says buy a bunch of houses and leave them empty to make money and ignore all the braindead shit you said so you can tell yourself you’re right, go for it. I hope that attitude takes you far in life.

Bro, you need to take the L here.

I’ll ignore you obviously having no idea what net worth means and trying to move the goalposts from your dip shit 50% comment again and just say this:

Even in a buyer’s market where the seller pays their realtor fees, the buyer’s realtor fees, and closing costs, you’re talking 7-8% tops, and I’m being generous here. If your home hasn’t decreased in value and it takes you decades, or even just years, to have 7-8% in equity, you are a class-A fuckup.

I wasn’t taking about that guy, he said he’s underwater.

I was responding to your bullshit about needing to pay off 50%+ for your home to be a positive to your net worth.

“New mortgage” doesn’t matter, as soon as you make the down payment, before you make a single mortgage payment, as long as the house hasn’t decreased in value you have equity and that adds to your net worth.

As long as you can sell and have $1 left over after leins and expenses, it adds to your net worth. It’s the value of the home less any leins, not your equity less any leins when determining what it means to your net worth.

TF you talking about? You use the whole price of the asset for net worth. If your mortgage is $1 less than what you would get from selling it that’s +$1 to your net worth.

If your house sells for 500k after expenses and you owe 300k you don’t just get the 200k and still owe 300k. The lein holder gets their 300k and you get 200k.

My house is worth ~1.8mm and I owe ~140k, that’s +1.66mm to my net worth. Even if I owed 1mm, I’d have +800k.

Unless the house is worth less than you owe, having a house with a mortgage isn’t a negative to your net worth.

It’s hard to get a good return on your investment in residential real estate without using leverage.

For instance: You don’t buy one place outright. You buy 5 with 20% down. You may not have positive cash flow, but at long as it isn’t negative not only do you get all the increase in value, you also get more equity every month as the tenants pay your mortgages.

If you bought it outright and over some period of time the tenants have paid your entire investment and the price of the property doubles, you doubled your money. If you buy 5 and over some period of time the tenants pay your mortgage and initial investment and the properties have doubled in value you have increased your initial investment 10X. And before the big expensive renovations come in, you can sell and buy something else if you’re not equipped to deal with that.

Also if you are just breaking even to get free property but you want to start getting passive income, after a few years you can refi to a longer term and lower your mortgage payments to get in the black every month.

This isn’t advice, fuck anybody buying up single family homes to rent, just showing one way they can generate both wealth and passive income for nothing. Literally nothing if they’re using a property management company.

Fuck anybody buying up single family homes to rent. I know I already said that, but it bears repeating.

For me personally, my wife and I are probably going to stay in this house until it’s time for the old folks home so it’s just numbers that’ll never actually mean anything. If it crashes by half or more I’ll actually get a reduction to my property tax.

Let it crash, this is unsustainable. Having a secure, long-term roof over your head shouldn’t be so fucking hard.

If they’re from a “boil your water” kind of place, they also probably order steak well done, so same thing.

I think he’s saying the length of the tongue isn’t the reason they enjoy oral.

In other words, deep penetration isn’t the only way, and for some not the best way, to please a woman.

White paternalism is a form of racism. Are you one of those “the real racists are the ones calling out my racism” types?

How dare you try to develop your own opinion. Don’t you know that white girls on social media get to tell you what to be offended by?

I am not conflating Nazis and communists. I am comparing you to a Holocaust denier because of your conspiracy theories about the existence of these places established to educate people about the well documented atrocities of the communist states. I didn’t say they were as bad as the Nazis overall, I pointed out they happily used the cramped cells, torture implements, and kill rooms left behind.

It is very much not the exception in communism. I have been to almost every former Warsaw pact country and a few countries that were part of the USSR and these museums are universal.

Your do a great disservice to the tens-of-thousands of victims of the communist states. I spent a lot of time in these places, looking at mugshots and intake forms and reading about what happened to them.

What do you think when you hear about a fascist antisemite standing in front of a pile of children’s shoes in a Holocaust museum saying “it didn’t happen”? Because that’s what I think about you right now.

And I never said concentration camps (edit: although these museums do tell the stories of the tens-of-thousands “deported” to camps in Siberia and other places), I was taking about buildings used for the imprisonment, torture, and murder of mostly political prisoners, but also others that upset the Nazis/communists in some way. Here is one example of many. https://www.terrorhaza.hu/en

So they just built all those museums dedicated to the hardship and terror of those years as a little joke to mess with westerners like me as I traveled through their countries?

Interesting side fact, in places that were occupied by both sides in WW2, some museums could do double duty. The places the Gestapo used to imprison, torture, and murder were often the same places the communists used for the same purposes.
