Attractiveness is both subjective and situational and people are often terrible at judging their subjective attractiveness to particular others.
There are also lots of reasons not to want to be persued starting with being in a relationship
Also peoples attitude towards germs and hygiene varies wildly.
The greatest sin of this comment is to suppose that because someone does something it makes sense even in their own subjective context. People are both weird and stupid.

Then every offer was like this screenshot. I gave up and now I environmentally recycle perfectly good gear that someone could have enjoyed.
didn’t leave my goods up for a week and only get shitty bids. I stopped posting when the first bid on day one was insulting
Were you lying then or were you lying now?

Correct the low ballers don’t come up they are pure time wasters

The funny thing is that you think everyone else is the problem when zero legit offers means its virtually certain your asking price was nonsense.
People with used obsolete goods often have expectations of value pegged to what they originally paid for it rather than what it’s worth.
Search your own or similar good on markets to see what other people are paying for similar or better goods.
Is Amazon selling something for 20 similar to what you paid 50 for 5 years ago? Shipped to your door tomorrow for free? Well then nobody is driving an hour out to your place next Tues to pay you 25.

Why wouldn’t they when it works

None of this makes you any less of an asshole

You should have listed it for cheap but let them have it for free if they come get it right away.
They would have felt like they were getting over on you and you would have avoided the worst of the assholes

It’s an insult you are too ignorant to understand is an insult. You wasted their time with your bs

Its broken fix or toss this solution isn’t applicable directly. Also seems like it would be hard to intentionally double click and add latency to single clicks
- Comment on The driver for my mouse occupies over 1 gb 5 weeks ago:
This is a physical defect. Macros make one key press effect one or more action button or key press. For instance if a common operation involves pressing a b and c in sequence you can make one button on your mouse actuate that sequence.
You can’t bind a macro to left click because then you can’t left click anymore. Even if you bound double clicking to single click (if this is even possible) it would mean every time it single click you would effect nothing which is equally if not more broken.
You need to either take your mouse apart and fix it or throw it in the trash.

Never heard of this happening to anyone whereas porch pirates are literally everywhere doesn’t seem reasonable

They stole it explicitly because they thought they could get away with pretending someone else stole it from the door by photographing it by the door… Nobody can steal it from inside a locker. It follows that they wouldn’t have done it in that scenario.

The thing is why would it ultimately need to clone an actual person rather than use a prompt to describe the type of voice followed by iterating until you like a fully synthetic voice at which point there is nobody to pay

It will NEVER be so that owning two houses in America doesn’t involve being well into the 1% This is just an absurd take that has become true nowhere on planet earth.

Step one make schools mostly dependent on property tax by funding them almost entirely through property tax Step two watch the price of housing skyrocket to the point where half of them are owned by old fuckers Step three make old fuckers fully or partially exempt from this tax Step four wonder why your schools have basically been defunded
Lets imagine a scenario bob the old lives at 65 lives in a 2M home which isn’t exactly a castle its just in a really desirable area. Bob is cash poor but house rich. He’s going to be taxes out of his home sooner or later without relief. Suppose we provide him that relief.
Shall we let him sell his house and realize his gains. Tax those gains but leave him enough to live wealthy for the next 20 years and collect 20 years of 1% taxes or about 660k with 5% appreciation. We would also collect around 300k of that 2M in capital gains taxes.
All in all we are giving up almost a million dollars in tax revenue which will be collected by taxing people who aren’t sitting on a 1.7M pot of gold. We will be taxing lots of folks barely getting by MORE to write a million dollar check to grandpa.
Then when he dies all those capital gains that were in fact real evaporate because the new owner who inherits it gets to start fresh at present value.
To justify your position I want you to imagine going around to a bunch of poor people’s apartments and taking stuff out of their house to give to one rich guy. Yes someone who is “house rich” doesn’t SEEM rich but assets are fungible and in a good market remarkably liquid.

Most places are around 1% of value with many having caps on increases in value or other differences in taxed and actual value. This means his house is worth 1,000,000 to 1,600,000
If he was really living on 24k he wouldn’t be able to pay 12,000 in property tax. He bought when it cost almost nothing and spent most of his life paying neither rent nor mortgage unlike most of us and has a reasonable retirement.
He could at any time sell and live better than you or I even if he didn’t have a dime other than the house. Instead he uses his time to whine about his good fortune.

If this was so it wouldn’t be half his ss in property taxes. Average ss is 1900 a month

Depending on area 40k property tax means a 3-4M house. Poor rich people!
