At least he sold his guns?

In many places of the US, the average selling price is $1M+.

I don’t think you’ve got it here bub. All effort does deserve praise. If your kid tried their best in an audition and is a tree and they continue to try despite it not being what they want either, then you praise them for trying so hard to be an awesome tree.

If your kid isn’t trying, you aren’t praising effort anyway.

Maybe there’s 5 kids that excel at drama in their 1st grade class. Who knows why. But if they tried and are a tree, so be it.

Yeah… but fuck that rapist, fascist creep.

Why?

.ml is plenty tankie too.

100% not true in the US.

Unlikely to be prosecuted or sued, but not true.

What country are you from?

WTO governs a lot of global copyright issues. I would be surprised the fair use exception allows you to download copyrighted content except for a few limited fair use purposes, ie education. And with very specific guidelines as to what qualifies as fair use.

That is certainly not true. It is illegal. It is often civil, but can be criminal copyright infringement based on specific criteria.

Holy shit that’s insane.

Go look at the graphs of the electorate before and after 2008. It is not wildly different.

A majority of people did not vote because of race.

You’re drawing very sweeping conclusions from one and a half data points.

It was created by a person who happens to be Jewish.

Take your dog whistle shit elsewhere.

The supermajority of all voters are white.

The majority of Obama voters were white.

Conservatives in 2008 were almost exclusively white.

Race for sure played a factor, it always does. But it absolutely does not outweigh ideology.

I don’t get diarrhea every 4 weeks. Do you?

I know no one here will want to hear this. But that’s lazy thinking and revisionist history. He got elected twice. The same folks calling him Muslim and asking for his birth certificate are now chanting Let’s go Brandon and doing other horrible stuff.

I’m sure a percentage of people think he’s extra bad for being black, but they were going to hate him just as much for being liberal.

That isn’t quite right. If you stopped paying the bank would kick you out and sell the apartment to someone else, but if they get less than you owe them for it, they will also send you a bill for the remainder.

And then sue you to get that money.

Interestingly, if they get more than you owe them for it, they will cut you a check for the difference.

But you are actually wrong about how and what the order of operations is.

You are buying the house, the lender (bank) writes the check directly to the seller, and you sign a mortgage agreement for that much with the bank and they put a lien on your house. The bank does not own the house, you do. The bank owns a promissory note from you, backed by your personal wealth and credit and the value of the house (that they have a lien on).

In the case of Twitter, yes, Twitter itself is part of the collateral, but so was Elon musks personal wealth and Tesla shares.

That’s not how debt works, he almost certainly pledged assets and a personal guarantee against it. This is known as collateral.

The banks take the collateral when you stop paying.

Tell me you don’t understand taxes without telling me you don’t understand taxes.

It’s also convenient that Qatar funds Hamas and the leader of Hamas lives in a palace in Qatar.

To be somewhat fair, that represents a very small part of Central Park.

Well, it’s also annoying for those of us that paid for it to not be able to use the TestFlight version anymore (I bought it in the AppStore version and then went back to TestFlight… and then I can no longer use the pro version).

They’re both fucking awful. The everything-is-hustle angle is garbage.

I don’t want people trying to figure out the optimal ratio of low but not too low effort posts to get paid turning everyone into a shill. Chasing karma was bad enough. People chasing money will be worse and less valuable.

Just like Twitter, when everyone is monetizing their posts everything will go to shit.
