So Trump’s gonna send NG troops to Utah right? The crime in these red states is really out of control.

Yeah, maybe…unfortunately my only advice is to walk around in or near feces until you get some hookworm, because that’s all I know about them. And I’m using the word “know” very loosely.

renting the equivalent place would probably be extremely expensive too.

Right, like I said, mortgage is not cheaper, certainly not half as cheap. The market I’m in is a metropolis, it contains every range of the market, it just depends how much gun violence you prefer.

Well in my very recent experience it is extremely, painfully, unavoidably true. That’s why I said it. We just bought a house, 150k less than we qualified for, and our monthly payment is 33% higher than we were paying in rent. Rent is far from cheap, there’s just no such thing as an inexpensive house unless you want one in a terrible neighborhood or an hour drive outside the city. In the first case, not only is it a bad idea just to live in these neighborhoods, the chances of making money on the resale are next to nil. The burbs option of course offers more for your money, but that comes with more maintenance, yardwork, housework, gas money, transit stress, etc. We worked with very knowledgeable, trustworthy realtor and mortgage brokers and there’s simply no math in the current market that gets mortgage payments lower than the rent we were paying without buying a literal, active crack house.

And to claim there’s no extra fees involved with buying and owning a home compared to renting is either utter delusion or repugnant gaslighting.

I hate to break it to you, but mortgage payments are not cheaper then rent anymore. Obviously depends on your mortgage and money down and all that, but if you expect to pay half as much for mortgage payments as you did for rent, you’re going to have a very bad time.

No they pee, they just can’t store it. That’s why they need tampons and such, it just falls right out.

Leave it less than six feet away from where they commonly walk around barefoot and they could get hookworm. If I remember the Radio Lab correctly anyway.

I personally would hyphenate “stupid cheap” in this context, I thought you didn’t like hand sewing at first.

Honestly, I think a big part of what makes this funny, to me anyway, is the “slighted” phrasing. It’s kind of an underused/archaic usage, so it sounds inherently a little funny in this modern context. But it also carries the implication that the original wrongdoing that they’re attempting to punish wasn’t very serious. Which actually makes sense, as this isn’t that annoying, just mildly inconvenient. It will still get hot in there, if you’re worried about food cooking unevenly, just turn it 180° halfway through.

Which is a kind of dress

This one I hope

It’s either pod racing or Bob Odenkirk

And the “desert” is really plains. But they’re definitely racist.

You don’t vote for spiders!

They’re saying the tax rate should be 0 for 5-figure incomes.

Or fucking Venmo

No they said in 2025, it must be like a country or something

Eh, t’s neutral for me I’d say, but thanks

I don’t like football

Which is the Republicans’ fault, they’re the ones that forced the public option out of the bill.
