People are down voting you because out of all things you could have devoted mental energy towards today, you chose holocaust denial.

Incredible Communist Party

Yeah I use a GoogleTV and don’t let the set itself connect to the internet. I held onto an HTPC as long as I could but it just got too troublesome to coax high quality streams out of it after a while.

Praise be upon him

The gentle click of jackboots makes it hard to sleep

Yeah Paris is great as a cool, old, European city with lots of history. If you like just hiking around cities it’s great. I can imagine if you go into it thinking it is like some French tourist resort, you will be disappointed.

So like Vegas, but with less booze and weed?

Cruises. It’s literally people who are so terrified of international travel, they bring their home culture with them on a boat. Even if the mechanics of cruises are generally nice, they are filled with, and cater to this demographic. Personally when I am traveling, too many other Americans or Germans kind of ruins the vibe, so a whole boat of them is like purgatory.

Yes, you have pretty much perfectly described why most Tom Clancy books have pretty niche appeal. The literary value is all in the well researched military nerd stuff, and weirdly plausible hypothetical geopolitics

Chesapeake just means “people who know that crabs are meant to be steamed, not boiled.”

In my experience this is a surprisingly sharp cultural divide among places where eating crabs is common.

Marxist Leninist.

Yes on both accounts. It is frozen whipped topping. It had enough air to hold its shape when it melts.

Sabotage Democratic outreach and voter engagement efforts right?

I mean what you saw last night is exactly why your revolutionary movement will be snuffed out. If the fascist has that kind of popular support, there is no revolution, only martyrdom. Maybe civil war.

Just stop doing it. You won’t quit until you really want to stop, and then it’s actually kind of easy. You hear this from a lot of people who quit, that all the circumstances and programs and nicotine substitutes are kind of secondary to the mental aspect of it.

Right but you then control the appreciation on a much larger asset. In terms of pure net worth and net present value, trading up is a huge gain even if it doesn’t generate more short term liquidity.

You can also rent out the smaller place and get both cash flow and NPV upgrade.

No rich person is living in a 325k ranch house.

Not that this is “ok” but it’s why “buy whatever you can as soon as you can” is good advice. If you’d put whatever you had into a shitty condo four years ago, and kept saving at the same rate, you’d likely be in good position to trade up soon.

I see a lot of people I know end up in the same position because they’ve been waiting for either the exact right circumstances or for prices to “crash.” All the people i know who started with anything they could afford now have a huge amount of equity in nice homes. The difference is real and primarily about timing more than income or location.

Yeah there is something else going here. No domestic markets are actually down in this interval. OP must have bought some individual stocks.

Change my mind
