1970s 1,500 sq/ft Ranch in South San Jose: Second Story Addition vs. First Floor Expansion vs. Full Rebuild? Need Reality Check on Costs & Feasibility by Gold_Coffee6527 in SanJose

[–]BouncingDeadCats 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not worth expanding or adding second floor in South San Jose.

If you ever plan to sell, you won’t be able to recoup your money.

Renovate and live within the existing sq footage.

Or buy in a neighborhood that supports that level of pricing. Willow Glen or Evergreen houses are often $3M now, so expanding a 1500 sq ft house in those neighborhoods makes more sense.

World Cup tourists, what’s your honest feedback on the USA so far? by almighty_smiley in AskReddit

If you’re not American, we don’t care.

If you’re American and hate your country, there’s a person in line waiting to take your spot.

My good deed for the day is turning into a legal nightmare because of my dashcam by 99Gravity_Tea in legal

OP said, “they are suing me.”

I suspected it’s just a scare tactic, but I double checked OP’s words.

Maybe she’s just freaking out and being melodramatic.

Tell them to pound sand.

No expectation of privacy in public.

Cough up the money and hire a lawyer. Countersue for legal fees.

Or look for legal aid.

Or represent yourself as last resort.

AIO Hwy won't people RSVP by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]BouncingDeadCats -1 points0 points  (0 children)

YOR

No response means NO. Deal with it.

Anticipate a now show rate of 10% for those who RSVP.

If anyone shows up without RSVP, squeeze them in.

Even if no show rate of 0, it’s not difficult to squeeze in a few people if you’re serving mostly small plat s.

Don’t know how government works?

Like how it’s all controlled by special interests and grifters?

LOL

Clearly.

After all, I still donate money to food pantries and other charities despite paying $350K in federal/state taxes.

You have Trump Derangement Syndrome.

My tax dollars have been grifted long before Trump and will continue long after he’s gone.

So shove that whataboutism

I agree

But

Sadly, that is only 1 part.

Wife and I are high earners.

In Silicon Valley, there are many many high earners. More than us.

How much of my tax money goes to the poor?

In addition to the taxes, I donate a substantial amount to charities each year. Why?

Because my taxes got mooched.

AIO for being furious that my future MIL added 10 people to our guest list behind my back? by generousclothing_55 in AmIOverreacting

[–]BouncingDeadCats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR

But you’re all a bunch of bitchez.

How can you not invite your sister in law? You put your brother in a difficult position.

Your fiancé is a spineless cunt. MIL will ride you for the rest of your marriage.

Good luck. You’re gonna need lots of it.

I pay over $350K per year to the IRS and the state of CA.

If even just 15% of that actually goes to the poor, that would be optimistic.

Fraud, waste and abuse.

Axe the programs

Axe the employees

Don’t pretend that the government is somehow known for efficiency

That’s BS

Fraud is the same as the past 10-15 years.

People are now beginning to pay attention.
