It’s 4 days a year, making them see what it’s like is a pretty good idea

Biden would fuck around do a coup right before an election if it helped Israel

He obviously cares more about their right wing governments success than preventing trump

Less than that, especially in areas that used to be cheap.

It took less than 5 years for my decent sized house on almost an acre in a middle sized city to be less than a 2/2 apartment.

It’s fucking insane.

It comes down to if you rent.

If you have a fixed mortgage, shit gets easier fast. If you rent, any wage increases is often offset by rent increases.

Less people are able to save, because they never get out of those “tough first years” of a mortgage

Ok. So go make a sub where that’s the rules.

Because that’s not the rules here

When do you think they found out a hurricane was coming?

You’re completely missing out on how many religious people want to die, there’s a reason virtually every major religion say suicide makes you go to the bad place.

If you legitimately and completely believe in an ever lasting paradise, any type of life will be disappointing.

If they die it’s just “god calling me home”.

It’s why religions are so dangerous. If someone believe in an eternal afterlife, throwing your life just means skipping to the good part. Literally any action can be justified by saying the god(s) desire it for whatever reason. Even an ineffable one.

“The Lord will save me” ones want to die, it’s passive suicide to get around the punishment for it

Don’t worry. As soon as Waltz said an overwhelmingly positive thing, Kamala distanced herself from it.

Yeah. Buying a 10 year old civic will always be more environmentally responsible than buying a brand new EV

For some reason all these people that super care about the environment aren’t doing that tho…

Although by now I guess that’s really “10 year old Prius”

Yeah. I’m not sure

I tried to search for the answer, but all the results are about tax implications for receiving a settlement.

they can force trump to pay Rudy and the money immediately goes to who he owes money to.

Yeah I phrased that a little poorly, but yeah it would immediately go to them, but he would still be “paying” Rudy for accounting purposes.

Theyd probably structure it thru a bank so it just passes thru his account for a literal instant

But for tax purposes it’s still income for Rudy, he still has to pay taxes on the 2 million lol. So I think it technically it has to touch his pocket, or maybe they can set up a temporary trust, rich people do crazy shit.

t’s just bc it’s so big

It’s not the World is big…

It’s just everyone else is so small.

Like in the grand scheme of the fediverse we’re all tiny. But of the “reddit clone” instances it might be bigger than everyone else put together even.

I went over to your instance and checked, and yeah, it’s a reddit clone interface too

The structure makes all of us “like reddit” because reddit has always had a shit ton of different small subs with vastly different vibes. A decade ago there was some sub on Reddit that had the exact same vibe your instance has today. That’s just how big reddit was.

Federation just means no one group of admins can seize control, even if World went to shit tomorrow, everyone would just bounce. I have zero “loyalty” to my instance, if it starts to suck I’m out.

That’s the point of this whole thing.

by more than 7,500%”, so I trust that the journalists did their journaling.

The “%” sign adds two zeros…

So 75x is the same as 7500%

I’m not trying to argue I’m trying to help you. If you don’t want help. That’s cool, I can stop trying.

It’s not …

100x means it’s 100 times as much, you add two zeros to the last number.

Did you think the “75 times” also meant it increased by 75%? Because that’s not what it means either.

Like if it was $100 and went up 75 times the original amount, and the new amount would be $7500. To go up 100 times the original it would be $10,000

100x

(CBP) Public Affairs Officer Thomas Gresback said that the wall was privately paid for and on private property, and CBP does not have anything to do with the project. CBP is constructing its RGV-03 project wall outside the floodplain 0.3 miles (0.48 km) away.[66] As of July 2021, the property had been reassessed at 100 times its original value, and Fisher was hoping to sell a 3-mile section of wall (4.8 km) that had cost $30 million to build

It’s not just a thought, it’s an actual legal thing…

I just never thought of it till I saw the article.

The money Rudy is owed is an assest, and he has to liquidate all his assets in an attempt to pay the judgement.

Just like they can force a sale on his properties, they can force trump to pay Rudy and the money immediately goes to who he owes money to.

Which would create a lot of friction if Rudy had been compensated some other way off the books and now trump would have to pay twice or throw himself under the bus disclosing the prior compensation, and if that’s what happened there’s a reason Rudy didn’t want it disclosed.

“do it all again”?

You think running for president is stressful for trump?

He goes to rallys, rambles for a couple of hours, and everyone tells him he’s great and cheers for him.

It’s probably his favorite thing he gets to do, the adoration of a crowd is what he’s always wanted, he’ll never give it up.

primary results

Yeah …

I didn’t even get to that can of worms.

The DNC said it wouldn’t count, Biden said he was pulling out since it didn’t count and took his name off the ballot, then Biden and the DNC (victory fund means the money is basically the same) spent millions for a write in campaign after he took himself off the ballot so the narrative would be “Biden still won, he’s that popular!” Even though the only other person running didn’t have millions of dollars to spend on a fight that didn’t matter. So only Biden ran ads despite taking himself off the ballot.

Here’s a good article about it:

The outcome is more symbolic than anything. The Democratic National Committee broke with tradition this year and chose South Carolina to hold its first primary of the year, on Feb. 3. But New Hampshire has a law requiring it to go first, so it went ahead with its vote anyway.

As a result of the dispute, New Hampshire’s delegates won’t be seated at the Democratic National Convention in August, and the results won’t count toward Biden’s official nomination.

The whole thing was incredibly fucked and the type of shenanigans only Republicans would usually pull

Quick edit:

Oh yeah. And this part:

The Democratic National Committee broke with tradition this year and chose South Carolina to hold its first primary of the year, on Feb. 3

The primaries are ran by the state parties, the DNC has no authority to “choose” what states go first, it’s just especially since the “victory find” nonsense, the state parties do t have a lot of power and the DNC has way more than it ever has.

But I just wanted to clarify despite how that’s phrased, the DNC has no say in when state primaties are held, which is why it’s so fucked they want to stack the deck with states who will vote for “moderates” and not NH who just kept voting for Bernie every four years…

I hadn’t thought of it before, but since trump never paid Rudy, and Rudy lost his lawsuit…

They can go after trump for the money even if Rudy doesn’t want them to.

A foreign government can not order the citizens of another country to “evacuate”…

That’s not how any of this works
