I see, I wonder how this would affect residential & commercial zoned properties. As in it’s a house but it can also be commercial property. I get calls al the time from companies trying to buy my house because of it. The nursing home keeps sending offers two houses down, I’m sure they get the spam as well, to expand their facility.

Well of course. But they could have been houses or actual business. I mean there was a burger place, one of the only two left in the country, got torn down and a car wash replaced it. The area was big enough for two or three houses or another business(s). Instead it’s a car wash that I never see anyone at. And this wasn’t like a really great place per say but it was a third space for bike and car meetups. I was trying to reference that those spaces could easily provide housing instead of something useless.

You nailed it. Funny how easy you picked up on certain details.

I didn’t know the lottery thing was that bad. The main issues with the proposed change is that they’re closing schools down, so the funding will likely go to some bullshit. I mean they used 55 million on fixing the stupid stadium under the guise that insurance and FEMA will reimburse the costs only for them to move to Tampa anyway—good riddance. And another fun thing I saw is that Article 3 will add in funding to fix the sewer systems… which I already pay every month with the crazy water bill. And the cheater part, yeah they don’t care. I fixed a machine downtown and the couple said oh yeah this place only cost 1.8 million. So of course the city is happy to turn a blind eye. So I’m okay with services being funded but not giving billionaires tax payer dollars for a stadium; that’s dumb and really everyone should get a refund on this expense. I got a lot of down votes on reddit for this opinion but it’s like if you love your baseball team so much, you go donate and leave me out of it.

See the problem with this, which is something on the ballot locally, is that people buy properties here to get tax exemptions and live elsewhere the majority of the time. Ironically the proposed homestead exemption will increase the amount of property tax I will pay compared to the current model; likely because they added extra fees.

This. I’m in a flood zone. The house has a cracked wall. It’s a duplex, but the water line broke on the other side. Roots are fucking the foundation. And somehow this is valued at 350k.

I think this is the right idea but there should be focus on certain things. Like say car washes. At this point we know it’s a stake to flip the land as prices go up. I live in a place where it’s not uncommon to see a car wash within walking distance from another. May as well be the car wash capital of the world.

The audacity you have to say that!

Exactly. If you look at videos of what Chinese EVs are like. There’s no competition to them now.

Yep. I like that this feels more like an old school forum rather than being down-voted for not pleasing advertisers.

I mean the English National Healthcare System. But yeah Bernie is pretty cool, it’s a shame he didn’t become president. I love Vermont but -40 degree weather is kinda rough. The cold totaled my car the first year there lol

I have 3080ti and I’m glad I bought it; it’s likely the last graphics card I’ll have. I had a 1060 on a laptop before.

You know I actually wondered about if “content” creators work up an account and then sell it. There was this girl that would post videos about things in Japan, she had some noticeable pimples or whatever on her face. The last I saw it was heavily filtered pictures and now it’s about stuff in the US. Kinda like her image was copy pasted. I use facebook because siblings kids and stuff to keep up with it and occasionally watch language videos. As far as I’m concerned, facebook thinks I’m Japanese lol

Even before Obama care, it was actually a better system but not much changed afterwards, Vermont had probably the closest thing I’ve seen to something like NHS. It was an income based health insurance. Free, or in my case $25 a month. I didn’t get it since I wasn’t financially well off at the time.

Then I break my leg while unemployed. EMS ride, 1.5 Million dollar surgery, in home nurse that visited, a physical therapist that visited, checkups, x rays, etc. Total cost for me? 13 cents for the pain pills after surgery. It was surreal to just go to the hospital and pay nothing.

I’m SO happy with how insurance is where I live now that I carry an AFAK with me to work in case I get hurt. Heh, food poisoning is like a national hobby now, last year I had it bad, fell over and hit my head, had a nice gash, I just said let me sleep it off.

Tell me about it. It’s like I learned so many skills and I can’t keep up with the curve. Programming, web design, animation, 3D design, audio, video, photography, pretty much every physical art like painting, electrical engineering, the list goes on. I think I’m stuck repairing things and being a career college student for the rest of my life since by the time I finish a degree, some wanker ruins the job market. Someone always needs to have something fixed but I’m tired, my hands and back are toast and I haven’t even gotten to 40.

It was funny when one of my professors told me if you’re going to want to be a news journalist photographer, I shadowed him a bit in college, you better learn how to use a video camera and edit as well. He had a pretty good point, that’s basically a prediction of what more or less streamers and content creators are, well except the content is usually not very good.

I kinda figured, I’ve never seen it written that way before.

I get that, younger friends that I game with don’t really do social media. It’s basically just small servers on discord and whoever is local we hang out in person, so yeah I did notice that shift. The spam really got to me on reddit and it got worse and worse. Stuff like secret santa and exchanging stuff or making art for people was fun. I traded a painting for a mflb vape lol. Now it’s ad, ad, karma bot, propaganda, ad, ad, cat picture, content, data fishing ad, an onion article—I mean news, ad, etc. And this is with an ad blocker; they upped their game since they realize most people are using them so why not just make fake looking posts that are just ads right?

I agree on this actually, I was referring really to that when I said industry. I think indie devs, well most, have a love for it so it’s not industrialized.

Wow that’s quite a shitty situation. I hope it works out for you. Houses shouldn’t be that expensive sigh

It certainly feels like it. I try to stay positive but then I read the onion, wait I mean the news. And yeah this last year has felt so long.

Okay, what is spirit vinegar? Milked ghost juice?

Also does “contains Celery” mean that there’s sodium nitrate?
