On Average.

The one white guy making 5000x the minimum wage really wrecks the curve.

That’s a post-nut nap if I’ve ever seen one.

Sir this is a Trump’s America. Victim-blaming is our most treasured past time.

All I can think about is the absurd amount of corn that gets shat after eating a famous bowl.

I didn’t even think famous bowls had that much corn to begin with.

There is a use case for house values going up without selling the house…kinda.

HELOCs are a great option for low interest credit, using your house’s equity for collateral. Higher value = more equity = more collateral = higher credit line.

Ditto.

Our first house was my late grandparents home. I bought it from my dad for 100k in 2013, which itself was probably ~25k below market.

We sold it in 2018 for 250k, and bought our current home for 375k.

Zestimate now for my house is 613k. I could never afford that. I paid what, a net 225k (plus taxes and interest ofc).

I don’t discount how much luck has played into my current station in life…but damn.

The downside is…I feel like I’m stuck here now. We refi’d when rates were near their lowest, and any house that would be a sidestep in quality/neighborhood/size costs the same or more, plus higher interest.

My SIL and her new husband just bought a house and I damn near fainted when I heard what her mortgage is gonna be.

I was already teetering on the edge when my BIL told me how much rent is for his 1BR apartment (which is also much more than my mortgage on my 4br/1.5ba house).

You’ll only see when you open your xeyes.

Uh salt gets rid of ICE.

Ask for it by name. “Uh Salt”.

“We cannot believe we have to say any of this out loud," Newsom’s press office told CNN. "We cannot believe this is real life. And we truly cannot believe this man has the nuclear codes.”

Couldn’t have said it better myself.

I’d make a joke about spit-roasting Peter Theil but I don’t want him to sic Hulk Hogan on me.

Fortunately, Hulk is dead. But now I forgot the joke.

I mean…it’s not like the strategy is unprecedented…

The hard part is getting the people to swallow your bullshit. Trump is exceptionally good at that. Or at least he was. Some of his followers, at least, are starting to vomit up his twice-semi-digested excrement.

This is what separates the magas from everyone else.

They see a chart like this (unverified claims that confirm their prejudices), it’s fact because it’s on the internet.

We see a chart like this and we are instantly skeptical. Even though we know it’s hyperbole, we at least know what hyperbole is, and many of us even know how to say it out loud.

Basically, every Karen, to start.

Ehhh…it breaks the half-plus-7 rule (I’d call 37 ‘late 30s’)…but it beats 20s. I’m only forty and I can barely relate to my 20-something BILs. I couldn’t imagine dating someone in their 20s, and not just because I’m happily married. The culture gap is so real. I could relate to X so much more than Z.

Still…even mid-30s doesn’t give much time to plant the seed before you have to worry about the first frost. You gotta sow while the soil is warm. Having your own kid is great and all but maybe look for a divorcee/widow with a toddler…

Which would mean either a subscription model, ad model, or somewhere in between. In all cases, it’s doomed from the start because who the hell wants to deal with that when YouTube provides the same.

Privacy enthusiasts, maybe, but there’s 10000 proles for every one of them.

I have a nebula subscription because there’s a handful of creators that I like.

Qu’ils mangent de la brioche!

Is this the same Georgia where, after the 2020 election, Trump pressured secretary of state Brad Raffensperger to “find 11,780 votes” in order for him to win the election?

If he finds those votes, does it mean he won in 2020?

Does that mean, ipso facto, he was ineligible to run for president in 2024, and thus Harris wins by default?

Oh it goes deeper. I encourage you to read about the Trojan Room Coffee Pot at University of Cambridge. This was, essentially, the invention of the webcam.

Also, the Linux Coffee Howto

Boss gets a dollar, I get a dime…so I shitpost on company time.

This is exactly why I switched to LibraOffice.
