I was kind of hoping the rampant gun nuttery of Reddit would be one of the things that didn’t migrate over here. But, no such luck. So long, Lemmy. It’s been real.

If saying he looks like Elvis is damaging to him when trying to overthrow the country didn't, that will be weird.

If it makes you feel better, I don't think the misunderstanding was on your end. Although I agree probably the dad told the hotel that, it was actually phrased like the hotel told the dad that.

That's the flaw in the slaw, I guess. No matter how carefully you craft the by-laws, once it gets big enough, someone will figure out a way to hi-kack it to concentrate wealth.

Damn it. Every good Idea I get, someone already thought of it.

What about if we crowdfund a competitor to blackstone that rents out the houses at like a 20% discount to market rate and earmark a portion of rent collected each month for the tenants to have an equity stake in the property. Then more people would want to rent from us and eventually the vampires would lose interest. I wonder if something like that would be possible. Instead of legislating them out, we buy them out. But it does require a critical mass of people willing to set aside a bit of money that they don’t expect a market return on. But maybe if they thought of it more as charity.

For sure. I’m switching to unaffiliated so I can.

Mostly because every time I see the abbreviation I think it’s Al and not AI. And I briefly wonder if they mean Al Jolson or Al Capone.

As a resident of her new district I will be profoundly relieved if my neighbors prove to be slightly less nutty than they appear. I’m sure I won’t be super-excited about whoever they come up with, but I would appreciate being spared this person. 😂

I won’t even fool myself that we could ever elect a democrat in CD4. We’ll be lucky to scrounge up a candidate at all.

That’s a good 80% of the monstrous pickups in my neighborhood.

There’s almost always a monitor on set, which is basically a tv. So, yah. No exceptions.
