I actually like seeing their posts on my main account. It allows me to keep up with their lingua franca, so I can more easily identify their alts on normal instances, so I know not to attempt to engage in good faith.

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?

Am I missing something, or is it not possible to criticize the media's obsession with attractive white girls without calling a person in a hospital after being beaten and probably gang raped stupid for no reason? You fucking piece of shit. See how I had a reason there?

That's the thing, 45 years later you only ever hear the bangers, not the other 99.9%.

Is there a term for that? It's not survivorship bias exactly, although I guess you could stretch the definition.

So "there were lots of anime which did have official English names," so you didn't "come from an era before widespread official anime translations."

Therefore, bullshit.

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.

Both can be true.

Yeah, but then we would've just gotten a regular old run-of-the-mill jerk-off Republican like Romney or Jeb next, and we would have spent the next 4-8 years saying "holy shit, this guy is so awful, how could it be any worse," just blissfully unaware.

How do I immigrate to that timeline?

Is usually not individual words, that's the point. They scrub certain words and phrases to try and hide but they still have a certain way of speaking that you don't hear anywhere else.

It's like some people I work with. They don't use any bigoted slurs or quote crime statistics in my presence but they say other things. Things that normal people, including myself, might say, but they say them in a way that I never hear them said outside of some of the uglier parts of the internet or in a certain kind of company. They don't even know they're doing it, they think they're hiding but they keep saying things that in a safe space, for them, is followed with a sentence that contains bigoted language.

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.

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.

Since these characters were introduced people have said what you're saying over and over. Always with the same "I don't have a problem with gay/trans/NB but..." disclaimer. Then they refuse to give examples of the characters doing anything other than existing. This thread is a good example. Please refresh my memory. Which episode(s) focus "on the social issues that surround homosexuality."

Outside of the scene where Adira tells Stamets their pronouns and the use of those pronouns, give me one line, in one scene, in one episode, of one season that would have to be changed if Adira was a cis straight human woman hosting the symbiote of her deceased cis straight Trill boyfriend.

Give me one line, in one scene, in one episode, of one season that would have to be changed if either Stamets or Culber was a woman.

To be clear, although I don't remember any, I'm not saying you couldn't find any examples. I'm just curious what constitutes "forced and obvious" plot elements that are "advertisement(s) for ideologies" that "ruins the show" for you.

Without examples all anyone hears is you bitching about the existence of these characters the way Archie Bunker would have bitched about Uhura simply existing.

Fuck AI and all, but to be faaaiiiiir, if you take away most people's computers they would be far less efficient than someone that did the same job without one 50 years ago.

In the profession I recently retired from, if they suddenly went back 50 years in tech the global economy would crash, and even a 20-30 year regression in tech would seriously fuck things up until people adjusted. And even then they wouldn't be able to reach the same levels of efficiency.

Great idea!

Just make sure it's not anywhere near me.

The people who hold the bonds.

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?

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.

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

So because the US has pulled a bunch of bullshit over the last several decades they shouldn't get involved when there is a real evil to fight? That's a boneheaded take. What if it was actual real Nazis? What if Nazis got ahold of a country in Europe and started invading and putting people into death camps? Should the US just say "I don't know man, we've fucked up in the middle east, south America, and southeast Asia so much we're just going to sit this out"?

Yes, western imperialism is bad. No, everyone opposed to western imperialism is not necessarily good.

Think of it as broken clock being right twice a day. Think of it however you need to. Russia needs to lose in Ukraine. And if that means the west gets a propaganda "win", that sucks but just deal with it. Western countries getting egg on their faces isn't worth letting Russia rape, murder, and steal.
