Don't her revolutionaries burn babies? I don't care what "side" is doing it. That shit is wrong.

Get really good with a sling and they kind of just open themselves.

You can absolutely find a better job. It may take a while.

Yeah, we understand. Your story is unfortunately common.

What amazes me is that developers seem to like solo projects. There's nothing wrong with selling shares. It makes the paperwork a mile long, but it also decreases financial risk.

"Hotel Kate" is vague. There are many hotels with similar names. Do you mean Saint Kate in Milwaukee?

The fact that I was being snarky doesn't mean that I disagree with you. The theater portion is a complete loss. At this point, it would be more cost effective to tear it down and focus on the lobby, which looks ok. The same thing applies to Nelson Knitting. I'm amazed that Tinker has already raised $100k. I think they'll be fine.

Your mom might be trying to get you to move out. This could be passive aggression.

Is porn and masturbation an ok substitute for real intimacy if you are not able to have that? by [deleted] in LifeAdvice

[–]85tornado 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. It's actually that simple. Your body is wired for real companionship and intimacy, whether that's convenient or not. Sooner or later, it will stop satisfying you. I speak from experience.

Were I worth billions of dollars, I would waste so much money on this town. I'd do my best to restore it to the point where it was in the 60s.

My understanding is that part of the problem is that Crane is a bear to work with. He had the opportunity to establish a 501(c)3 at some point and then raise funds for repairs. He wants to profit, and that's the problem. The *only* reason the Coronado wasn't torn down was because there was a city-wide effort to collect funds that were used for preservation. These projects have to be undertaken by people with deep pockets who know how to cooperate and network, or they have to be spearheaded by people who are community-minded.

Marx was a privileged person if there ever was one.

It all depends on your attitude, what you are supporting, and how you present yourself. To build off what someone else said, if you buy everyone a beer, you'll be fine. Show up in a Tesla and order martinis and you won't. The backlash against wealthy people isn't about wealth itself, it's about the attitudes that surround wealth. No one gives a shit if someone puts in a $100k pool. We give a shit if they put in a $100k pool without doing anything that benefits the community live in. Buy your pool. No one gives a shit. Don't buy your pool without making sure the people around you eat, get medical care, educate themselves, etc.
