  • Ehhh some of this is great advice about sales tactics, but you should definitely get a contractor to come out and look over the place again.

    Reason being is if there is something that was missed in your initial inspection that another contractor found, you can go back to the realtor and demand them to be fixed. Especially for new builds.

    However you only have a small window for this, because if you wait too long the realtor and or contractors can say it was you and it’s not their responsibility.

    Also you should always get multiple bids from several contractors. If someone is going to do the job at a really low price, that means that contractor will cut corners, and do more harm than good. If someone is giving you an astronomical price that is completely unreasonable that means the contractor doesn’t want the job.

    There is also this other “tactic” that construction companies know very well. That is if the company is trying to give you a deal, you as a customer are going to nitpick every little thing. Flip side, if they mark it up the customer will always believe it’s the best job that was ever done.

    Source: my step father owned a large legit construction company, that I worked for, and my bio father owned a small shady construction company, that I also worked for.







  • I agree. I typically skip sex scenes in movies. Those scenes very seldom add anything to the story imo.

    Unless it makes sense. In “What Women Want” with Mel Gibson, I believe that is a great example of a sex scene adding to the movie. The whole premise is him reading women’s minds, so him having sex with Marisa Tomei and hearing their thoughts while in the act added to the premise.

    So when I see a movie that is just like “hey these people are hot and we should film them go at it” is just boring imo.


  • Whenever I see something like this I feel I must defend my friend who’s a cop.

    Before being a cop he was a lifeguard at a beach and my bassist.

    Baywatch may tell you differently, but being a lifeguard is a seasonal job, and not a career. The next level of being a lifeguard is becoming a cop, so he did, and he has only beaten one black man so far.





  • Dude you hit the nail on the head right there. I’ve been thinking of installing Reddit back because some of the content I enjoyed there is just not here.

    Ive tried to recreate the subs I had on Reddit to here, but it’s empty. So I just browse All and block anything that has to do with politics, but it’s impossible because everything is just lefty politics in some way. Like I’m a liberal person, but I feel like I’m considered right leaning from some of the shit people say on here.

    And if I don’t have NSFW off it’s just trans everywhere.

    Like do what you wanna do, be who you wanna be, but I don’t wanna see THAT lol



  • Rimworld is one of those games I’m addicted to for like 2 weeks non-stop.

    Then once I have 30 colonists and they can’t even keep the floor clean cuz I have too many things going on, I’m done because i know I’ll never “finish” anything. Even though every time I start that game I tell myself I’ll finally build the spaceship this time.
