[quote]yes, this idea that giant corporations are the ones buying all these house is completely false[/quote] Your graph shows that entities with 1000 or even 100 or more properties making SFR purchases wasn’t really a thing prior to 2019. Now it is and the share of purchases to these entities is a...
[quote]I'd argue that people are born inherently good and learn from the selfish actions of others to be more selfish.[/quote] Where did the selfish people get their selfishness from? It has to be inherent on some level. My answer: We’re both. We’re made in the image of God so we have inher...
Consume fewer calories. Do more cardio. As far as I can tell, the specifics don’t matter all that much as long as you do these two in some way. ...

[quote]Or when you realize there’s players in the NFL the same age as one of your kids.[/quote] A “kid” who went to high school with my niece (same class) just had his [b]fifth year[/b] option picked up and signed a four year extension. I can’t stop seeing this dude as a kid :lol:...
[quote]What do you want the average person to do about it?[/quote] I’m sure there are things that can be done at the local level to make it harder for a single entity to buy/build an entire SFR subdivision solely for investment purposes if people simply cared enough to say they don’t want this in ...
[quote]It's a damn fine day.[/quote] Sure is. This thread deserves more pics. Heres a blueberry bush in my backyard: [img]https://i.yourimageshare.com/nN0KOaHePs.jpeg[/img]...
[quote]I overuse it. Use it even when there’s only one direction option from the lane I’m in.[/quote] I do this as well. Easier to make it a habit than to remember the conditions where you’re turning/lane changing and don’t need to. ...

[quote]Nobody has work relationships anymore. [/quote] Kind of lame if the only way you know how to make friends is at a building owned by your employer. [quote]‘Lunch with the boys’ is dead. No more killing time with the boys while talking about the new hot secretary over lunch.[/quote] Most pe...

[quote]Had my first baby 13 days ago at age 36, so I’m definitely in a crisis[/quote] We had our last when I was 34…can’t imagine what it would have felt like if I hadn’t already been a dad for over a decade. You’ll be alright though, but just in case, prayers sent. In all seriousness, congr...

re: When did you hit mid life crisis

Posted by Dadren on 5/15/24 at 9:35 am
I think I had somewhat of a “reverse mid-life crisis”. I definitely like myself more and I am more at peace with who I am at 42 than I was at 22 or 32. ...
[quote]Can I look em up and complain to their boss[/quote] Then they’d get fired and be even less able to buy a house one day. Based on your post history, you’re not that guy. ...
[quote]its only 4 yrs old and one of those stupid control boards is not turning it on lights and buttons work, but the compressor and fans arent working i know its a damn control board somewhere so its a couple hundred dollar repair most likely[/quote] I’m a fan of new tech, but I really ...
[quote]Just spent $44 and feel it was justified.. girlfriend’s first time and is looking at me like I’m crazy.[/quote] I guess there are two schools of thought here: One, she’s not your wife (and I’m assuming doesn’t have intimate knowledge of your finances) so what she thinks of how much you sp...
[quote]Does Uber have anything in place so that anyone under the age of 18 has to get an approval to get an Uber?[/quote] I would think that a 13 yo who is determined enough to sneak out and go to another city is probably going to find a way to circumvent this....

[quote]Depressing thread this is[/quote] Sure is but apparently this is very common. Hate that so many people are going through what I went through and apparently much worse. I’ve gotten to the point where I choose to remember the good things about my dad, he taught me professionalism, how t...
I haven’t talked to my dad in eight years. I still talk to my mom (they’re still married). He’s an alcoholic (although my mom tells me he quit drinking a couple years ago). He was always volatile and is pretty mean to everyone he supposedly cares about. No hard feelings but his behavior over t...
Ah, guess I should have read all the way to the end. My bad. ...
[quote]Not sure if serious[/quote] OK clearly I’m missing something. Why is everyone acting like they know everyone in that car was involved with the theft and they made a unified decision to run? Help me out here. ...
[quote]By that logic, police would never take action if there were ever multiple people in the car. After all, the passenger may just hitching a ride. [/quote] Huh? I said that the PIT maneuver was justified. My post was a reply to someone saying no innocents were lost. You can’t know that beca...
