Unplanned visits are kind of psycho with 24/7 communication.

Respectfully disagree. Saw them a couple of weeks ago and man, what a show. Ged in particular is just an unleashed monster by having some help on the keys.

If I sold right now I’d probably be out 40-50k. It is what it is.

There’s an entire generation of homeowners who don’t understand that your property becomes less valuable as interest rates rise. I keep coming across people who bought one or two years ago and are trying to make a quick 50k and it’s like buddy you are actually going to lose money on this.

It was known my family didn’t attend church. I was actively headhunted by teenage girls to attend their churches/youth groups/events. I would then often win paid for trips with their groups to wherever. These were all southern baptists, of course. Unintentionally, I ended up only dating Catholics.

Do you consider holding corporate debt to be ethical. I assume not, since the US bonds only thing.

Think of it as future income you don’t have to work for. Retirement can be a totally separate concept. -you will want money in the future, if only to buy better equipment for your unit in the war effort

I was in an upper level poli-sci class the day after the 08 win. Everyone was so happy. I asked the professor what would happen to the GOP now that the only candidate not stained by the W admin had lost. That, is a goddamned different world. The feeling that W was a blimp between Clinton & Obama.

I think borrowed-against, nonresidential assets are the lowest hanging fruit. It’s the asset version of social security tax cap. Most people can’t believe it exists.

i think one of the hidden keys to politics right now is "how can our side make sure that the 'trump is gonna kill a bunch of beautiful wild horses' story gets in front of the millions of otherwise apolitical consumers of social media horse-related content"

Ohhh, they’re fairly common in downtown Austin. I assumed they were some beta test because they have no mirrors or rear window, but always have people driving them. Which makes them stand out against the legion of Waymos.
