I didn't see any dedicated thread on this show. I brought it up at least once before while discussing other shows. Netflix released season 3 a little while ago. I was very skeptical because I thought seasons 1 and 2 were terrific and the way the show ended made me question what direction they were going to take it to come up with a storyline to continue the series. I have 1 episode left to watch but I will say I have never been more disappointed in a season of a show compared to it's previous seasons (and i'm including the final season of GoT). It's convoluted, disjointed, and a lot of great characters are missing. Anyone else watch it and watch the current season? (But, I would still recommend the first two seasons... especially for people who enjoyed Squid Game. )

Great post. To the part where you asked your friend about repairs and everything, I’d probably also ask a similar renter how much outdoor living space they had, if their landlord let them do everything they wanted, what type of property they were renting (I.e any shared walls and noise at all?) And the property tax, again, is being passed on to the renter in most cases, renters insurance, etc. I would feel that his initial investment doubled. The rest is just cost of living.

Yeah talking about your personal investments is irrelevant to the basic discussion of renting vs owning property. The topic has been done to death on this forum and my conclusion is that there are benefits to both (more benefits overall to owning property even if you don’t live in it) and of course a lot depends on your situation and stage in life. if you’re having kids or have young kids I don’t think there’s much argument for renting, assuming you want to give them a stable upbringing in the same school systems etc. if you feel like you are going to stay somewhere for 15 years then yes, I tend to feel paying someone else’s mortgage and taxes is pisssing away money.

You literally said being mobile was more important to you than owning a property. So what I’m talking about is this crazy notion that owning leaves you immobile. I’ve seen people on this board suggest that traveling around is easier when you rent. It’s literally no different. And, like I said, if you’re talking about moving to live in a new place full time, yes it’s easier as a renter to wait for your lease to be up or break it and go… but as you also just said, renting out your owned property and becoming a landlord can be a tremendous option for people who want to start moving around every few years as renters.

If you have a great landlord or property management company, maybe. Otherwise I doubt it’s “no hassles”. I also suspect there are things you don’t have the freedom to do, if you wanted. now perhaps you don’t care about that. Not everyone does. Times I’ve rented I’ve only cared a little.

As someone who isn’t a huge advocate for either, the notion that being a homeowner leaves you immobile is laughable. There is nothing related to regular travel that makes renting better than owning… Unless by mobility you mean you plan to rent for a year and then change to a new city and keep doing that often. Then sure. But that’s a headache itself. also the idea that you can’t make money investing if you own a property, also silly. Sure, your home equity could be invested elsewhere but a lot of home owners have plenty left over to invest so it’s really just diversification. also a lot of renters forget that property taxes and bills they don’t directly pay like water/sewer are passed on to them in their rent but again, I’m not anti renting.

Unfortunately I am constantly reminded of it because of my grandmothers house. It’s just her left at 91. She had 2 sons and my uncle passed away at 49 so it’s just my Dad and the house is already in his name. …And my parents also just have 2 sons. When my father put her house in his name, he actually wanted me to put it in my name. It needs a TON of work and if it were sold today, would most likely be sold to a contractor for $500 and leveled to build a $1.2. That’s typical in their town. My main interest in buying it would be to not see it demolished but the reality is, all the changes I’d want to make would leave it close to unrecognizable anyway. I could try to do my best to keep as many original aspects as possible. My father won’t sell it to me. He will only put it in my name and give it to me. When I say “that’s your inheritance” he says he has plenty of other inheritance and it’s just going to be my inheritance anyway. I guess he also realizes the headache it will be. he also made me take a copy of his will a few years ago. I’ve never looked at it. My mother’s parents are gone. Their estate was split among 4 siblings. My father as the only surviving child will receive the entirety of his parents estate and I am 1 of 2 kids so it will most likely be sizable. But I expect them to be around for another 30 and I’d prefer them spend as much as they can and do everything they want in retirement

My dad always brought me over my grandparents house as a kid, he would drink and do yardwork and I would hang out with them and often watch wrasslin'. I don't remember them being into it really but I must have stumbled across it and thought it was cool. This would have been like Hogan, Sgt Slaughter, early I guess? Undertaker days, Macho Man, etc. I really didn't retain anything or care very much or have any favorites. Maybe Macho Man because of the slim jims commercials My peak viewing was the "attitude era". It only lasted maybe 3 years so the guys who stick out most to me are Stone Cold, Rock, Mankind, DX including Sean Michaels, Undertaker and Kane... i remember enjoying the unveiling of Kane. Jericho, Hardy Bros... Edge who I think was originally part of some goth trio. My favorite arcs were when they had Rock and Stone Cold team up 'enemy of my enemy' style. Again my viewership only last a few years but it felt like much longer. I had some friends who tried to get me back into it but by that time they were holding weird drafts fir the different shows. It was very silly and confusing. (that said i'd still likely participate in a draft)

you used to do things?

FrancieFootball can’t be rusty. Rusty is in the geek balls fantasy football league and has one win all season. That would be some audacity to make an alias with football in the name

Apparently no one wants to admit it but The Rock was the greatest entertainer in WWeF history. It’s proven by his success in all other aspects of his career. Cena is trying but it’s not close. Hogan would be an obvious first rounder as well as Stone Cold for more or less creating an era. I dont think anyone touches those 3

why would he be looking for political points? He cares about the people first and foremost!

I'm not sure. SNAP is set up so that a short government shutdown should not impact benefits... i believe because the usda accounts for the funding a month prior. That is a total guess on my part. However a longer shutdown should have the same result as those benefits are still federally funded. Perhaps it's because prior shutdowns were not as long? There was a lengthy shutdown in the mid 90's. I do not know how food stamp programs worked back then.

1. SNAP requires federal funding. That funding lapses during a government shutdown. If it's only the moral issue you care about, then SNAP needs to be reshaped a bit? State funding? Saying "so much is wrong with this" is wrong. I already addressed the basic moral issue. The rest of my comment was in regards to the government shutdown game being played by both sides. 2. Continue to live in la la land if you wish. We already know you believe what your media tells you, hook line and sinker. You are not much of a free thinker (rhyme not intended). At the end of the day, politicians care more about their own pockets, their potential re election if applicable, their donors, their party... way more than they actually care about the people.

so of course if you just look at the simple concept of hungry people needing food... for example if there was no government shutdown and Trump! just decided to end snap and threaten states who were trying to feed people, cant defend that. but it is not that cut and dry. When both sides cant work together to prevent a government shutdown, and part of the consequences of that shutdown include snap benefits, why would you want to allow states to still distribute those benefits? It makes no sense to allow the other side to continue prolonging the shut down AND reduce the repercussions of it. Without debating which side was more at fault for the shutdown, obviously each side felt the other was more at fault. So logically you would want voters to feel the impact of it to some degree. politics is a game. most of them do not actually care about the people. you're a big time political hack so you believe your side does

so if democrats and their allies are livid based on what a small group of dem senators did in exchange for "some job protections" and a promise to vote on obamacare subsidies, how does an msnbc host paint that as Trump and his allies "caved"? interesting, unbiased take.

Schoen going to lead the search for the new HC. A guy who shouldn’t have a job is picking the next HC. he drafted Nabers and Dart (and Skat) I guess that bought him a few lives but jeez.

guess my sarcasm went over your head

this is such a minor issue and really not a big enough deal to raise a fuss over. (said while simultaneously crying about the latest marginalized group we came up with)

Battle for the basement looks like it’s going to rusty heading to 1-9. Time to focus less on Trump!

It’s a platform for entertainers to connect directly with their fans. Pretty sure it started out as something for artists and musicians but it boomed during covid when stars began using it… and now it is mainly for that type of thing. I’m fairly certain women make money with accounts without any x rated content and just leaning into a certain niche or fetish like lingerie or feet. The woman I had dated who said her divorced “friend” had a page claims she never showed her face and there was no secks

Seattle is no longer using the Kingdome

Also... The ego on this guy to think he needs to create "Tim's thread" to discuss non political stuff as if he is the go to poster people want to chat with on this forum. We have plenty of people who start non political threads and participate in non political things. A better thing to do would be just create less political topics that flood the first page. Be a part of the solution. Not a "look at me" separate thread.

Tim absolutely knows what onlyfans is. Not saying he has been there but any guy, and honestly any woman who says they don't know what it is is likely lying. It has received a lot of news and mainstream attention since it sort of blew up during covid. My personal experience is that I have definitely clicked on links taking me to girls account pages. I have never subscribed to any because I don't really understand paying for pron. Yes, part of the allure is that there are more average women with accounts so it's not all the same plastic pron stars you see elsewhere, and you can "chat" with them... but from what I understand if it's a popular account with a lot of traffic you are likely talking to some sweaty dude who gets paid to run the accounts. I know a woman who graduated from my high school several years before me who has one. I was on a date a few years ago and the (different) woman is telling me about one of her divorced friends who has one and makes good side money off it. Claimed it was a lot of foreign guys asking for custom feet videos, etc. Maybe it was her, who knows I have a rarely used instagram account for following sports stuff and sharing dumb reels in a group chat and every time an onlyfans model pops up in my feed, it tells me that my cousin follows them. He must follow 1,000 onlyfans model IG accounts. I find it shocking that his wife allows this. I would think she would rather him subscribe to their content (maybe he does) and just watch pron. It's the fact that other people who they follow on IG can see who he is following.
