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.

theLiquorI’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...


Wait.....your wife bought a house without telling you and then you're mad at her brother for not buying your house which is out of their price range?

No i was there, was like “well if it’s your dream house i guess we put in an offer” but we never had a discussion of actually wanting to move prior. I mean if i can buy a $1.5 million house or move back to Duluth i would but i thought was chillin where we were at

And its not like that with her brother it’s so complicated they’d be getting a house exactly in their price range cheapest they’d ever get when you consider renting their garage, no garage bill... all i’m saying is cheap houses dont exist these days.

WoFlowzAs 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.




I Still think this is the greatest boxy black/brown glass monstrosity from the 70s

Damn dude that sucks. Honestly even though it sucks for everybody and I was bummin last year, I was stoked to not be in school anymore. I think that's the worst. I mean it is what it is but it's shitty to be in school during this time.

Hopefully it mellows out. Good luck

Letting the news from the middle east flood my thoughts and its keeping me up so I'm just going to word vomit on this thread.

I would love more than anyone for the Taliban to cease to exisit. That would be great. Reading the stories of how they are killings people of different faiths, enslaving woman and girls, all that is disgusting. It is breaking my heart. I've heard stories from older people in my life who escaped similar situations decades ago in Vietnom or other eastern areas of the time. Its horrific.

I'm also sick of this fucking war. I know I see it different than a lot of people since I was just a toddler when the towers fell but this is ridiculous. I remember being in first grade with classmates who had fathers and uncles and whatever fighting this war now we have kids significantly younger than me signing up to fight this same fucking war that has accomplished nothing. Absolutely nothing. If we were to instate a draft a lot of the young men drafted would not have even been alive on 9/11. I don't want to get into the politic blame game on this. This crisis is bugger than right vs left.

This world is so so broken. Jesus come quickly.

It’s a UW health pediatric urgent care. They did X rays couldn’t quite tell if there was fracture because of all the swelling and how much the tendons had moved. Their gonna treat it like a fracture tho cause I have a history of bad stress fractures in that foot but still not knowing if it’s fractured at all is kinda annoying

Went to buy a 4 pack of 16 ozers at the gas station in the hometown. They rang up 16 plus tax. Was like word, im good on that, figured maybe some pricey brews or something.

Just went to buy 6 pack of sweetwater. They rang up 21 bucks. Like are you fucking serious. They're 9-11 everywhere else. This place is a store slash gas station. Idk thats bunk. Not going to try to buy beer there again.

I know you’re upset but don’t stress. If you or your parents can call to see if they can switch your schedule that might work out.

Damn dude, feel bad for my sister. She had a really sweet housing setup in salt lake with some friends of hers, one of them owned the house and just had them pay rent to pay the mortgage, and she dropped the bomb on them today that her BF and her are getting more serious and that they all gotta move out soon. Its their house though I guess, still sucks. More stress for someone who already has stress working at a hospital as a ER nurse. Cut-throat housing market.

I hate when people tell you to meet up eoth them, so you drive out of the way and then don't end up meeting up with people.

Changed my plans and drove a few hours to where a few friends are. Should have gone elsewhere where I'd actually be chilling with friends.

My one friend has cancer so i get that she's tired and stuff. She didn't tell me to come up here bte. But other friends are just kinda ghosts.

I'm used to the fact that i go out of my way to visit people but it's kind if shitty when people want to see you if its totally convenient and they end uo running into you. Itherwise apparently they'll tell you to swing through town snd then not get back to you.

Probably going to leave and visit some friends in another town 2 hours from here and then head for philly tomorrow to see my aunt. Luckily it's the opposite direction from where im at.

Idk hopefully i csn at least see my one friend because shes not looking that great at the momrnt and we've been really good friends for a long time.

Met up with one friend finally. Shes working but at least its a friend even though shes crazy busy but were gonna hang tomorrow, see friend with cancer, and go to a pig roast. So hopefully ill see a few people.

Just a little tired today and it def gets frustrating if you fly across the country to see people for a short amount of time snd then spend some of that time driving far enough to not see people. Looks like ill at least see a few people even if not the proginsl friends who told me to come up.

Oh my fucking God. Going into work today and intersection turns green. Fucking endless train of bikers proceeds to violate traffic laws and create an endless train of assholes turning left so I can't go straight. All the meanwhile some other dick on a bike is perched in the middle of the intersection holding his hands up to stop traffic. The light then turns red and they continue. Like fuck you this isn't a funeral procession you goddamn gangbangers. I hope you hit a pot hole at 80.

Because you're gonna buy em and they know it. I hate buying tires. I had an old mazda with 14 inch wheels and super narrow tires and they were like 60 bucks a pop. Coulda had it rolling for the price of a single 35 lol

Tonight went south real fast. I met some dudes here today and we went to hang with some other people and like shit was fun. But then this one dude pretty much invites everyone over to my place since i mentioned it before and I was like alright cool. I go back first and they show up 20 min later but the only people who come are this one guy and this girl he’s trying to get with and my one roomate. So it’s hella awkward and I’m like passing out on the couch and this dudes so fucking annoying wouldn’t shut up and he wouldn’t fucking leave. And I was supposed to go chill with a girl too but that fell through so I was stuck in this bullshit lmao

It’s not technically against the rules. If it’s deliberate that’s one thing. Forums are for discussion though and posting an opinion based on fact or misinformation contributes to the discussion at hand. Mods aren’t the most educated people on every single topic so it’s not sensible to have us to determine that a post is factual or not. We are not a university discussion board. I also would advice against relying on NS as a source of information in general unless it’s related to skiing and even then, eh sometimes people get it wrong.

I can't imagine how bad it must be up in Quincy. That area is going to be so different with the forest burned out.

I'm worried that this new Caldor fire will sneak into the Tahoe Basin. It's already jumped 50 near Kyburz. Sierra-at-Tahoe will be at risk in the coming days.

Yeah the Caldor isnt looking too nice right now. Hopefully winds shift and it slows.


for anyone not from around here, basically a third of the county has burnt up over the summer. Lost a whole town as well. I think like 13 or 14 hundred buildings are gone
