Rant About Whatever

Yeah I know there were some rant threads over the years grinds my gears and whatever. I don't think any of them were that happening to dig up. I probably made one of them honestly. Whatever.

I figured if we could rant somewhere we'd be more docile creatures in the rest of the forums.

r00kieGot a notice in the mail from the state of Michigan claiming I didn't pay my tax bill. Luckily I have all my documentation including the bank statement that shows the amount owed being deducted from my account. Not looking forward to this battle next week.


After the longest phone tree filled with all sorts of dead ends I was able to talk to someone. My payment was processed incorrectly as another form of tax payment so it did not go towards what I owed for last year. Payment was able to be transferred and I won't be charged the penalty. Thanks collections call center dude, your job sounds really crappy but you were incredibly helpful once I found you in the phone maze.

God fucking dammit I love basketball but hate playing with inept selfish teammates. I just kept telling at our 6'9 guy to stop trying to dribble the ball through the defense and just stand next to the hoop where we'll pass it to him but he just doesn't listen.

Why the fuck is weed so strong these days? I just wanna smoke a joint to myself and not be so high that I think birdsongs are police sirens. And if I buy CBD strains to cut THC with it's just as expensive if not more expensive.

Oh was not at all saying he’s wrong, I agree what he is saying is true, there’s no doubt the availability, and potency have increased dramatically, and there’s basically no in between for me either, it just takes a long time to get there if I even do, even when I first started smoking, I never got “high”, head nor body, it always just made what I enjoy more enjoyable, once you cross that line where your body “expects”, herb it basically does nothing, at least for me, I also smoke blunts hourly like a person does cigs, I never get giggly, best I get now is if I break up some resinous blunt roaches and pipe em and manage to go 12 hours w/o smoking, I’ll get a 15min “high”, even dabs only hit me for a few seconds.
maybe it’s cause my body fat is low, or bc my metabolism and T are through the roof idk, but I read body stores thc in fat, maybe I don’t have as many thc receptors but it’s a struggle, I need a viagra like pill that makes the body suck up thc

If it makes you feel any better when I was 17 I squished a big on my windshield on the inside, just pressed a little, and it cracked, after a week of driving there were multiple large cracks that spidered out, windshields are weak from the inside.

No absolutely not, that’s disgusting of anyone to ask regardless of income, it’s a simple matter of “commanding” tenants not be pigs, hiring a cleaning lady for what $40, to clean between tenants. Sorry for your situation, sucks when something makes a job less desirable, especially when that job affects your “home” life, god forbid they supply $12 in mouse traps or spend $300 once for an exterminator to get the ball rolling.


I just got a duplex, great condition, very clean, very nice, tenant on one side, I’m moving her to the other side after upgrading it, so I can upgrade her kitchen, bath, sidewalks and deck, everything, do some cleaning, ducts and all and then put her back, it’s simple decency, and respect

They were in the drawers under the sleeping area which means they were also crawling around the area the drawers slide into. I didn't find any droppings on the actual bed (if I had I would've already made the decision not to sleep in the camper till it's properly ultra cleaned).

Ooof, good luck with the inevitable toxic masculinity of men who think you don't know a bolt from a gasket.

JK, for real tho good luck, you can do it. I figure most of the job is being knowledgeable with part numbers and interpreting the needs of clueless customers. Probably has some great benefits too I'd imagine regarding getting your motor toys fixed and it will be easy to find sledding buddies.

No doubt chicks can make great parts employees and techs, I know 1, but anyway, shop dudes def have a “chomp” vibe to them, at least the few I’ve worked at and many I’ve had service at, their all uniformally creepy towards females.

As much as I hate 60s, 70s, 80s building that are just black or brown glass and usually just a rectangular prism. I have a special spot for the John Hancock Center and Sears tower. There’s something different about those two. I think it’s cause the John Hancock center looks almost futuristic like it’s from a star wars movie, it looks way a head of it time IMO maybe not the black glass but the lines, shapes, beams, etc. The Sears tower is just simple looking and massive, it rises above everything else and the space it takes up is a ton. The way it looks like just stacked is Vv interesting to me and all though it’s not a elegant building like most big black or brown glass monstrosities from the 60s 70s and 80s I like it. Idk quite why and it’s kinda weird and annoying and stupid I do.

Flying sucks these days. Cutting out in flight booze, masks, come on.

Let people at least smoke weed and drink beer if everythings going to be closed and we're wraring masks for another 100 years.






I guess at least I'd rather hear bullshit announcements every 5 secons about masks than the "if you see something say something ads" prettending that airports and travel are so dangerous and reporting the guy that left a bag when he went to shit probably thwarted a terrorost attack.

No angle hear honestly just spending the dsy in airports and not hyped. Not going anywhere cool. Visiting some fam on the east coast. Hopefully that goes okay ..

Thanks you as well.

I think when shit returns to normal I'm going to have to do a 2 month trip somewhere to make up for not being able to go anywhere cool for so long.

I like airports and flying enough if I'm going somewhere cool. That offsets some of the bullshit that are airports.

I might just go to mt hood again next year and leave the southern hem winter lyfe behind.

I’m sick of trying to show people how to make money but they never take my advice and are always broke.

newest saga, wife bought a new house on a whim a couple blocks from this house. We *have* to sell bcuz if you keep your property and rent, then when you sell you have to pay capital gains.

so im doing my best to sell to wifes bro & gf. Theyve been trying to get a house for 2 years. Problem with the market is the cheapest homes at the 400-450k range is theyre the most sought after by today’s strapped buyers, so they end up going for $70k over listing pretty consistently.

so we told them we cant ask less than 550k for ours which is what its easily worth. BUT if we do for sale by owner and dont have to pay a big commission, we can gift that money back to them (which would be almost :0k). On top of that, they can rent a garage spot to me for $250/month. And house is big enough they can have however many roommates they want, and it has solar so theyre saving $100/month on utilities.

but all they see is sticker shock “we cant possibly afford that house we need something smaller like 2-3 bed 1 bath 1 car garage. But 1 bathroom? You seriously gonna be in your 30s, and split a 1 bathroom house with roommates? Plus they have the bidding war to even get a house... i know in a few years theyre going to regret this hard but i just hate pressuring people even when i know theyre being fucking stupid

Obviously maybe they dont wanna live so close to us too. But seems crazy when they could have someone so close to dog sit or feed their dog when their work day goes too long

some people just cant be saved. Sure if market crashes and they get a house cheap ill be stoked. But market is likely to crash due to higher interest rates so they wouldnt actually be coming out very ahead, and if they crash their truck will also be worth nothing for a downpayment, they may lose their jobs and be in no shape to buy a house...

Not speaking for him … but a married couple in real estate doesn’t really always talk with each other, for instance, my wife and I don’t discuss investments under a certain dollar amount, we each have our own money for buying rental units and restoring as well as certain flips, my business account is separate, and we share a bank account that’s separate from those which we don’t touch but if we did, it would be discussed bc it would have to be a considerable amount to go there, that $ has been off limits for 20 years.

I can see why you lol, it did come off kinda comical
