It would be convenient to have in the garage


Just put one of these in the garage and run the pipes through the wall outside.

I was watching her on a press conference yesterday. She's pretty awesome. She's training to be an Olympic archery girl, whatever the term is for that. Really a smart and sweet girl. I thought it was pretty funny. When she saw another person, the first thing she wanted was a hug.


And a lot of people in this thread are being real dicks
I'm fairly sure Diddy did some bad shite to Usher and Bieber.

quote:

In the early 1990s, after Usher's voice changed due to puberty, L.A. Reid sent a 14-year-old Usher to live with Diddy in New York to help him navigate the music industry and develop his career, according to Business Insider.


quote:

After Bieber was brought to the United States by Usher, Diddy is said to have been involved in supporting Bieber's early career, helping him establish his presence in the music industry.


Both stayed with Diddy for extended periods of time while he "helped them establish their careers in the industry".

Whew, that’s horrific. He should be put down for that alone.


Do we know if that was anything other than just horrific domestic assault or whatever?

I’m having a hard time believing the girl was basically a kidnapped sex doll. It seems like, so far, these people had crazy sex and also Diddy deserves a long prison sentence for beating women.

But where is the trafficking?


Trafficking is a bit broader definition than most people realize. Reports he did this to others to pull them back into "freak offs" and used very large body guards to stand at the doors while threatening the careers of people if they didn't do what he said. Didn't say they couldn't leave, but made it very clear it wasn't an option.

There are also laws around threatening livelihood for sexual favors, which dozens of people have accused him of. Not sure that's trafficking, but that's what Fat Harvey did.

I just cut em/pull em and cover the spot with mulch. The ones further away I hit with the mower.

Not like it would take long for 3 trees once a week half the year when they actually sprout.

Based on his "activities," it seems like he would enjoy prison life.



He's going to fill everyone's commissary accounts in the clink and be perfectly fine. But he will be there a very long time.

So far, I haven’t seen anything that didn’t involve consenting adults


This is Cassie Ventura, who is discussed in this thread. Diddy did this to a lot of people apparently.


Sure, sure, totally consensual.

quote:

People also wanted Bill Cosby put away for life.



Didn't he roofie and rape a bunch of women? :lol:

quote:

I’m taking the opposite position on this case. Even through Diddy is a disgusting creep, the people participating in his parties were adults with free will. I fail to see how any of this is an actual crime that warrants locking him up for the rest of his disgusting life.



I think Diddy also locked people in rooms that wanted to leave and beat them up and basically raped them for them to be allowed to leave.
Well known she’s a freak. Loves to get dicked down and open about it. Rumors of sex addiction.

Makes sense she endorses lube company.
Hopefully manufacturers will provide a way to disable this in vehicles that have it.
We can’t be locking people up for doing things in private between consenting adults.

If consent isn’t there obviously it is different.

Laettner was a god. Hell on the 92 dream team he shot just .001 behind Jordan from the field. Flagg is not capable of being on Jordan’s level for an entire Olympic run.


Flagg is several years younger than dream team Laettner. Flagg in 3 years will be an NBA all star maybe sooner.

And Flagg will be 10x the pro. Much better athlete and ball handler, can play all over the court, etc.

Rereading I can’t tell if this was sarcasm :lol:

2. Tax corporations at a very high rate, if they own more than X number of residential properties.



You can't force them to divest the homes too quickly, it'll tank the market. You can stair step that up over a decade maybe?

But you can stop the bleeding. Washington saying certain entities can no longer by single family domiciles. How they define those entities will be complicated as hell and there will be loophole plugging needed constantly, but it's a start.

Another idea is somehow create major advantages for buyers that make homes their primary dwelling. At the same time you make it harder for corporations to buy them, you make it easier for real homeowners. The bidding process needs to be leveled.

He's supposed to be very well liked and a kind person in real life, politics aside.

Plenty of remote jobs require you to be a certain distance from a major airport for travel purposes


And fully remote jobs have shown recently not to have the job security. You don't want to buy a house out in the sticks and then get canned and have to move back to the city.

Could anyone who knows more about the economy explain to me why we wouldn't lower interest rates at this point?

I'm not saying sub 2. But why not go into the high 3's.

At some point I don't understand why we wouldn't? Prices aren't going to go down but our dollar has devalued. You can't get as much for your money as you could. Wasn't that the goal?


It is to counter inflation. It works, it's just painful and not a quick fix. I think they'll keep them "elevated" for years, albeit begin a slow step down. These aren't historically insane rates, people forget that. The historically insane rates were 3%, etc.

We're on a very painful course correction.

quote:

What are the methods that an administration can employ to lift the wages of workers?



Well, cutting rates makes borrowing money for businesses cheaper as well, so that, but you can't do it too quickly because it fights inflation. Bring skilled manufacturing jobs back to the US. Curious what the crackdown on immigration does to this, I have no idea how to predict that.

Nothing they can do overnight.

Well, I don’t think home prices have gone up by 70%….so there appears to funny math going on.



Mine has doubled, so 100%.

And that's my whole area for the most part. Comparison of pre-covid and 2025 home prices in most markets is pretty wild.

Groups like Blackrock buying up all the homes to turn into rentals doesn't help either.

Blackstone.

Blackrock really doesn't do this.
