- Comment on Houses in my area increases 82% in just 4 years 1 month ago:
I think a big part of it is we’re on the other side of the peak of all houses going for 100k over asking regardless of condition. A number of houses have that grey vinyl flooring installed in a bunch of rooms that’s as cheap as it is ugly.
- Comment on Houses in my area increases 82% in just 4 years 1 month ago:
This is everywhere. I’ve been looking for houses for 3 months in NW Ohio. 300k is the new 150k, and all the houses are beat to shit on the inside needing 50k just to make them passable inside because nobody takes care of them.

“I have gotten a lot of threats through Facebook about it. You know, ‘You need to take that down, it’s vulgar language, it’s kids,’ whatnot," homeowner William Grabrovac said. "I understand that situation, but if you go walk up and down the streets, there’s a lot of f-- Biden signs flying around. What’s the difference?”
JFC What a snowflake.

So what’s the backstory? The dude fell too far behind on payments or is the city trying to eminent domain the property
- Comment on Why did it take so damn long for humanity to "learn" how to draw/paint realistic images? 1 month ago:
Also the time needed to perfect that skill wouldn’t have been available that far back. If you’re needing to spend the bulk of your time hunting/gathering food and other forms of basic survival I don’t think you’d have the hours every evening to work on your shading techniques.

My sister’s first year in college she got the Chinese word for LOVE tattooed. Later she found out it was the correct symbol, only mirrored. I called her EVOL for a while

- Comment on How come LED Light Bulbs only last for about 2-3 Years? 2 months ago:
What lasted forever for me…CFLs. downside is they just don’t seem to put out as much light. But I had some in my house 10+ years old. They lasted so long that when one finally burned out and I didn’t have a replacement of the intensity…I was pissed to learn they don’t even make them anymore. I’m not a fan of LEDs because some of the cheaper ones are like mini strobe lights and really big my eyes. I had to go through like $60 work of LEDs to find a set I actually liked

I really wish CBS hadn’t sent a cease and decist to that one YouTube channel who was building an entire Ent-D in Unreal. It showed all of Main Shuttle Bay through corridors, a couple lounges including 2-Forward all the way up to the bridge.

Libertarians are just conservatives without the religion and/or who smoke weed. They hide behind the label because they agree with right-winger s but are too chicken-shit to admit it and can say “bUt I’m LiBeRtArIaN” when something heinous happens

Sale, up to 90% off!
Where the 90% off is the triple clearance table that’s been inventory they genuinely can’t get rid of, while everything else is 10-15% off
- Comment on Seriously, what the f*** is keeping Donald Trump in this presidential race? 3 months ago:
The guy is a convicted felon, and I’ve seen a shockingly high number of people wearing t-shirts outright acknowledging that fact.
For the upper tier of the socioeconomic scale, they only care about money and power which we had shifted in that direction. For the lower half, he continues to convince them all their problems are because of minorities, immigrants, women, poor, or any other marginalized group
- Comment on Seriously, what the f*** is keeping Donald Trump in this presidential race? 3 months ago:
Because it nurtured the racism in a LOT of people bringing it out in the open…which led to the rise often hat orange turd in the first place, who went from a reality tv star that nobody gave half a fuck about to spewing anti-Obama shit left and right solely based on race and because he got his fee-fees hurt at a WH correspondents dinner. Large parts of the repub base are still reeling in from “black president” 16 years ago that they can’t fathom “black woman president”

- Comment on First contact when? 3 months ago:
I thought i had it on my drive but apparently not.
The whole premise was on some rando day all screens with sound on earth (kinda live V), started broadcasting a message from the ambassador from the Concordium, and it’s all one giant monologue from him. He just says that anytime they find advances, intelligent life in the galaxy they monitor them for roughly 11 of our years to ensure they’re advanced enough and are able to exist within their structure and harmony. But it took less than 3 for them to determine we are not, cannot and never will functionally capable of it. One cited example is there at 10 individuals on the planet with enough wealth and resources to legitimately end hunger and poverty, and advance the civilization 100 years in maybe 10, but they’d rather burn the planet and let over 1/3 of the population suffer just to increase their already obscene wealth. Others include individuals damaging or killing themselves and others in displays of barbarism for mere entertainment, hate based on superficial features, and constant warring not towards the advancement of peace and prosperity but material goods and archaic resources that only further destroy the planet. As a result, our solar system is considered quarantined; they will not enter it, nor are we allowed to leave. If we attempt to they will eliminate us so we don’t poison the rest of the galaxy as we have our own planet. Only twice have they encountered warring species similar to us, and both times their intention was to try and build advanced warships to conquer their way out of their solar system, but because of their nature they both ended up destroying themselves and their planets for control.
It ends with the transmission being cut, and the ambassador being asked if he thinks this could make humans unify and work towards the goal of bettering themselves to the point of being welcomed into the Concordium. He replies it has never happened in their recorded history

It’s not so much technobabble, but from mid-TNG on through DS9 and VOY it seemed that, at least once per episode, “Some kind of…” was used to describe anything new.
- Comment on Worst examples of Treknobabble 3 months ago:
What blew my mind about that whole intro is they hid the entire ship UNDERWATER AT THE SHORELINE with a severe risk of damage to the local terrain and sea life instead of, you know, being in orbit.
- Comment on First contact when? 3 months ago:
Well they did say that most governments were wiped out in WW3 so that probably had a big impact on why
- Comment on First contact when? 3 months ago:
I wrote a short story about that. The basic premise being all intelligent life is part of a concordium, and they monitor a planet when life is discovered to see if they’re ready to join. But it took a disturbingly short period of time for them to determine we aren’t fit. They said they’ll quarantine our solar system and if we ever breach the boarders we’ll be wiped out.

Or if they’re like a few people I know…whose critical thinking skills are “parrot opinions from someone who I think is almost as smart as me (according to me) because I exclusively listen to them”
- Comment on Why is Kamala Harris being held at such a higher standard than Trump this election? 3 months ago:
2 of my cousins (brother and sister) are 2 very opposite people. The older brother has been a career fuck-up since grade school; always getting in trouble, failing, not caring, running with the wrong crowds, knocked up a girl when they were 16, got kicked out of 1 school and barely graduated. He’s never held a job more than 6 months, if that, each job is minimum wage with minimal skills, been kicked out of the house a few times, has a sordid legal history, dated some questionable women, and eventually got into a relationship with a single mom of 3 kids who inherited 6-figures when her dad died and dude thought he was on easy street from that point forward…until 6 months later when he blew threw half the money and she kicked him out to where he’s now crashing in a camper working a lawn job.
His sister, honor student in HS, went to college, got a degree but had difficulty finding a job in graphic design that wasn’t freelance. Seeing the 27 2nd chances her enabler-parents afforded her brother…she stopped caring and moved back in with the parents bouncing from middling job to middling job. He’s in his mid-30s and she’s in her upper 20’s

One for my favorite fun facts about Andre’s drinking…There were times he got so drunk and would pass out in hotel that they’d have to simply leave him there because he was too big to move.
