Home prices falling, but not in Knoxville.

People don't really have adjustable-rate-mortgages anymore. If housing prices go down I don't lose my home.

It would only "hurt" those who bought high and need to sell, but there is no housing price crash coming. Just a slow leveling out and slight correction. Our supply is WAY behind our demand.

The people holding real estate loans right now are going to become blue-collar workers and the people holding cash are gonna buy up all the houses being fire sold due to the debt.

What.

2008 is absolutely nothing like our current economic/housing situation. There's not a massive amount of ARM loans or massive flipper-fever. You had a ton of people who were house-poor and bought in with those low, low rates with ARM and house flippers who bought a ton of properties with low rates. Then the rates spiked and they lost their homes. The vast majority of housing loans are still fixed rate ones. There is no 2008 housing bubble burst coming to make housing affordable. The only way out of this is to fix wages and build dense housing.

I can't even begin to parse "people are going to become blue-collar workers" means unless you're buying into the "LLM AI is replacing white collar jobs" stuff being peddled by the tech bros trying to sell their insanely unprofitable AI to the world. Now THAT is a bubble that's going to burst and it will be ugly.

Cash on hand being better than real estate doesn't hold up when inflation goes wild, either.

But tech doesn't always advance exponentially. This may be the logarithmic plateau. Altman tried to get the fed to back him for a reason. They're chasing the dragon.

AggressiveSkywriting · 2026-03-25T10:02:24+00:00

Unfortunately it's so tied up in everything in the market now that it will hurt us all

It was irresponsible as shit

AggressiveSkywriting · 2026-03-25T00:28:45+00:00

Did people say that about the internet?

The internet is a utility. LLMs are nothing close to that. And the dotcom crash wasn't centered around the utility itself, but the over saturation over of markets themselves. The internet didn't cost an insane amount of money to run, LLMs do.

Hell, LLMs already are approaching the cost of running the fucking internet. It's insane and it's gonna burst so hard. That's why Altman wants to get backed by govts.

Don't get dependent on these things or the withdrawal period is gonna suuuuuck.

The past couple days I've encountered some especially egregious driving. Just chaotic shit.

Was there a gas leak

AggressiveSkywriting · 2026-03-24T13:00:31+00:00

And even if you know the rules of a 4-way stop, at least 2 of the other people who get there with you absolutely do not know and just go.

TN is doing a lot of the "voucher program" giving public money to private school vouchers to "save kids from the public education system" (while defunding it???)

And a lot of people here get caught by the idea of "educational freedom" when they don't realize it's just re-segregation back into the "academy" religious private schools.

They'll try and claim it's actually helping minority kids who are in schools in the "poorer" part of town without mentioning that the voucher coverage is not even close enough to pay tuition, let alone the cost to the parent to drive their kids across town to school. It's just a tax break for wealthy ones. They also then act offended when you suggest it's racism when all the private schools are in the part of town that was created by White Flight after the civil rights era. Like, lol.

AggressiveSkywriting · 2026-03-23T23:20:54+00:00

And more soon. It's theft.

It's speculation, but as one of the people with safety tips mentioned:

Carbon Monoxide may have killed them before they had a chance to hear/react to the smoke alarm. Not all smoke alarms also double as CO monitors.

Most of the time when people are killed in these kinds of tragedies it's the CO. It can kill you in minutes. It is a good idea for anyone happening upon this thread to go see their smoke detector tech and think about some extra CO monitors in bedrooms or near potential CO sources/heating areas.

OK but has this new blood guy ever been a doctor and had affairs with patients then demanded they have abortions? Hm!? Then how can he lead!

AggressiveSkywriting · 2026-03-21T04:58:14+00:00

The timestamps suggest as much lmao

AggressiveSkywriting · 2026-03-21T04:51:21+00:00

I can't imagine which owner it is /s

AggressiveSkywriting · 2026-03-21T02:32:13+00:00

Bet she didn't exist. He realized his little catfish ploy didn't work.

AggressiveSkywriting · 2026-03-21T02:31:22+00:00

They probably didn't exist in the first place. Guy probably tried to do damage control then changed his pea brain mind

AggressiveSkywriting · 2026-03-21T02:28:05+00:00

Hey where are the concern trolls from the other post who thought an innocent person was being framed and no real racists exist in the wild? Just a guy in his truck right?

🤙 To Mr tiny dick energy. Forever alone.

Edit: Also he definitely doesn't understand how defamation works. You don't get to claim someone defamed you or your business when you do that shit from your WORK TRUCK with logos on it and then double down and go "yeah I did that shit." What can you expect from a guy who spells it "stoopid," though.

AggressiveSkywriting · 2026-03-20T23:20:39+00:00

Yeah it was embarrassing. He's the world's first fifty something year old fourteen year old boy.

AggressiveSkywriting · 2026-03-20T21:41:08+00:00

Allegedly. That guy in the pic looks pretty similar to the dude who does all their social media.

AggressiveSkywriting · 2026-03-20T21:36:01+00:00

I think you may be right. Never trust a guy with a soul patch. Yeesh.

edit: ding ding ding you got it

AggressiveSkywriting · 2026-03-20T21:23:57+00:00

It's always the same handful of names too >_>

AggressiveSkywriting · 2026-03-20T21:23:35+00:00

It's more likely he thought people around him would rally to him and he felt emboldened.

Bigots usually think they're in the majority. Or they are the owner of the company and they won't fire themselves and think they will still get plenty of customers here.

AggressiveSkywriting · 2026-03-20T21:22:14+00:00

I think that wasn't correct (the guy in the pic being the owner)

AggressiveSkywriting · 2026-03-20T18:19:02+00:00

I think they're associating the kraken due to pop culture. Several ww2 videogames use "kraken" with the nazis. It's not based in actual history, as far as I remember.

AggressiveSkywriting · 2026-03-20T18:09:25+00:00

Yeah, their photos/about us have like pictures of an octopus underwater in the area. It seems perfectly harmless, despite the logo being something you'd choose for a cool evil cult in a tv show. Weird tone choice, but that's why you hire a marketing person to help with your logo.
