Bruh we as Americans have such a short attention span/memory I stg.
His first term was “BUILD THE WALL”, “CHECK THE BAFROOMS”, “SHUT DOWN BASES IN EUROPE” and “NO MUSLIM IMMIGRANTS ALLOWED!!!”
None of these ideas he’s espousing are new, they’re just more hateful and damaging. He just got slightly better at understanding politics/government, so now he’s more dangerous/efficient.
Oof, glad I read this so we know what questions to ask/red flags to look out for if we ever do pull the trigger on purchasing a condo!
COA fees going from $110 to $930 is fucking wildly crazy work. Did they at least tell you WHY it shot up like that?
And its also crazy that special assessments cab be billed for that high per unit. We’d be fucked! I thought the point of paying COA fees each month was supposed to spread the cost of maintenance around/ensure there are savings in the bank to cover major repairs!
I’m also that coworker. Bought a 1995 build house in 2013, and sold it last year. Holy cost of maintenance. Roof, foundation, HVAC, plumbing, gutters, siding. We upgraded the windows too, so that was a choice, but nothing else was. Didn’t have money for professional interior upgrades because we were maintaining the structure itself instead.
If I ever buy a house ever again, it will be a condo so I’m only responsible for the INSIDE. As of right now, after all that, I’m happy renting. I’m so disinterested with painting and whatnot, that it doesn’t bug me to have white walls.
I do agree that the pet situation sucks though. We have 2 “aggressive breeds” that were strays we picked up off the street years ago (2016 and 2020), a Pit mix and a Dobie mix. Finding someone to rent to us with those was a chore. And for the few years we rented out our home (military. Lived in it while we were stationed there, rented it out for a few years, moved back in when we returned to the same duty station), we didn’t have a breed restriction.
We’re about to move across the country again, and I’m STOKED to be moving into an apartment. Rn we’re renting a SFH and it has been so nice knowing that money we had saved up isnt about to disappear because the water heater broke or whatever.
Okay you just need to stop pursuing higher education lmao.
I graduated with my associates in 2008, which is how I ended up joining the military later that year.
Another FF8 enjoyer here! My husband and I got married on Halloween, so for the reception, I was Rinoa and he was Squall!
10/10 fantastic game!
I love that you described it as the “cat call finger motion”. I knew what you meant immediately
I told this story on here way back when I first moved to Lemmy, but I went through a period of eating some sea salted beet chips (fucking delicious btw) for lunch every day. I didnt grow up eating beets, no idea why I tried them, but I didnt realize what was happening when I started pissing red.
Got in with my PCM and was panicking like “I have blood in my urine and I’m not on my cycle, and it looks different anyway!”
So he was like “Aight, what did you eat yesterday?”
I felt like such a fucking idiot wasting his time. But a bunch of kind Lemmings on here assured me that it happens a LOT, and its always better to get checked.
That being said, there should definitely be a warning on those chip bags for those of us who lack critical thinking skills lmao
Hah! Your random internet comment still proved me right, and I adore you for it!
Aight, I said I got a zero, and my husband says we both have one. So help me settle this riveting dinner discussion we’re having:
The 10th - 14th is an Amazon blackout. No purchasing from them specifically for the entire week.
True! Some actual info would be nice since this could plausibly be several people it seems.
Drunk brain just lit up last night and was like “The time has come to dispense Real Housewives of DC lore upon the public”.
(And sober brain is like: “Hey Self, Salahi didn’t run a ponzi scheme from the WH numbnuts, she just crashed a dinner”. So the other person is likely correct, and I posted out of turn)
Are we sure this isnt referencing Real Housewives of DC Michaele Salahi? Who Broke Up A Whitehouse Dinner?
And also subsequently married Neil Schon from Journey?
Idk wtf kinda bad ass stuff 8 year old you was made of. I rip my nail off and expose the soft tissue underneath that normally isnt exposed to air and it burns like a bitch for a while. Then when that wears off it burns if I catch it on anything until the nail grows back over it!
This. The entire state of Texas shut down for an entire week, and people literally died in their homes over 2 inches of snow in 2021. 2 fucking inches.
If your local area doesn’t have the infrastructure in place to support winter weather conditions, any snowfall at all may as well be a 4 ft blizzard.
Dawwww it makes me sad that there was a thumbs down sign! He just a cute little guy!
Yeah, it’s actually legit fucking insane. I’ve been deployed 3 times, and the amount of infidelity I witnessed from both spouses, every time, was…something to behold. The first time I went I naively thought people were blowing the rate out of proportion before I got there but it was like…so many people.
Like I get that military life is difficult, most people get married hella young so the partners can stay together, and then deployments happen. Deployments happen right after one spouse uproots their entire lives to move halfway across the world with no support system. It still sucks to see because once it all comes out, it tears families apart every time.
I was just telling my husband that I would hate this because we rescue dogs and that would be one more surface to vacuum, but that this would be really cute in a no pet AirBnB for some quirky appeal.
That freezer water/meat scent comment made me second guess that though 🤮
I really enjoy the tiny ceiling lamp in this one. It’s doing its best!
My husband and I just rediscovered Civ after not playing any of them for a decade.
Even now, a decade later, we have been sitting there for the past 2 weeks being like “Just one more turn” @ 2 am.
I wont lie, I watched the Saddam Hussein video like 2 years after the execution happened.
I’m a true-blue-center-of-the-generation millenial, who grew up on the internet (but avoided places like somethingawful) and I got squeamish over THAT video.
It was legit just a shot of his feet swinging but my brain just went “Thats not fake, not a movie, thats an actual human being”, and I got mad uncomfortable.
So, I feel zero percent sadness over CKs death (in fact legit delight! I’m currently out having drinks over it!) But I cannot fathom actually watching the moment a human being’s life flickers out.
I aint built for that.
