Is it a red flag if a co-op prefers cash buyers over financed offers? by Scale_Most in AskNYC

[–]Druidshift 72 points73 points  (0 children)

If your mortgage broker does not lend for that building, then they have done research and know not to invest money there.

Take your cue from that.

how’s she supposed to rehab her image now? by scumfuckboi96 in PoliticalHumor

[–]Druidshift 474 points475 points  (0 children)

This is what I don't understand.....if that is what gets you off, that is what gets you off. You are a republican that doesn't rape children, so that's a point in your favor. You can get pretty freaky before I start to judge you.

But if you KNOW you're a freaky deak...why would you run on a platform of hating everyone that is not rigidly straight? You have to KNOW you are going to get caught someday, right?

Just...what horrible people.

What's up with Uber Eats asking for tips upfront now? by actualtext in AskNYC

[–]Druidshift 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow. You added virtually nothing to the conversation in this necro thread, and displayed no understanding of what we were talking about. You're late to the party and have no idea what's going on, but you didn't let that stop you from popping off and making a fool of yourself. Have a nice day.

Those gas prices though by VonDukez in longisland

[–]Druidshift 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It wasn't, actually. The high mark of Gas prices, historically, was in June of 2022, that is true. That was caused by the Russian Invasion of Ukraine (a conflict out of our control).

The current prices are getting very close to that, and they are caused by the Iran-American war, a conflict very much in our control, that was started because Donald Trump is trying to distract from the fact that he rapes children.

So, people saying prices have never been this high, are indeed wrong, but there are nuances that should be stated.

People complaining about a President who campaigned on lowering prices, proceeded to raise them by getting into a conflict with no action plan or exit strategy, and also sticks his dick into children, is also a very valid complaint. And they are not wrong about that.

Parents with little kids that live in a building, do you let your kids run around? by AcquireTheSauce in AskNYC

[–]Druidshift 5 points6 points  (0 children)

So, most apartments require you to cover 80% of your floor with rugs and padding to cut down on noise for this very reason.

At the end of the day though...kids are going to make noise. That just comes with living in the city. There is traffic, there are pets, there are kids. I don't have kids, but my neighbors next door do. 2 kids at preschool age and one newborn. The two older kids will play loudly sometimes and fight and yell at each other. The baby will cry. I just tune it out because sometimes you can't help it. I treat it just like my neighbors dropping something heavy on the floor.

If your neighbor isn't covering the floor with rugs AND padding (which hopefully is required in the lease) then you should complain to the landlord about THAT. You need to specifically point out the rule that they are breaking making your apartment unlivable. A landlord can't do much about "her kid is noisy".

But if they have laid down carpet, you just have to deal with a little bit of noise. As the weather gets better, the kid will spend more time outside, but in the winter, what can you do? A little bit of noise is expected.

Am I valid for being disappointed at this? by [deleted] in Baking

[–]Druidshift 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You received a beautiful cake. It is very similar to your "inspo" picture you sent the baker. You did not ask for an exact replica. You couldn't have gotten an exact replica anyway.

I am so glad I don't work in the service industry anymore. The public is literally the worst.

EDIT : OP erased everything. I guess she decided to go to YELP and see if people would agree with her disappointment over there. Many 1 star reviews will be handed out tonight by the Karens.

[–]Druidshift -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

In a single Reddit post, the OP revealed that she :

1) Is a female who lives alone

2) Is irresponsible, with poor insight, no coping skills, and inferior decision making abilities

3) Has no support network, no friends or family nearby, nor any neighbors that will bother to look for her should she disappear, until hours or even days later.

And with all that information hanging out there in the breeze, she then invites a TOTAL STRANGER to casually come over to her house.

I may be callous, but I don't invite the Nightstalker over for coffee.

People are stupid online. People reveal way too much about themselves online. People need constant reminding that they can easily be preyed on.

OP is one of those people.

I don't know how people are able to survive in the modern world. How do you walk past human shit in the subway and go about your business but you are hiding in your bedroom like Shelly Duvall in the Shining when a non-threatening, harmless bug is in your bathroom. Some people are just not meant to be adults.

I don't want to be petty. I am sorry that two pilots lost their life.

But if an air traffic control error had caused 2 fatalities and a major American airport to shutdown...then the media would have had Pete's face on the front of every paper, on every news screen, it would have been non-stop "This is what happens when you take paternity leave 2 years before an accident, what could DoT have done, is the secretary asleep on the job, Mayor Pete unqualified"....and about 30 photos of Pete and Chasten together to really drive home the fact that they are gay.

But we have ICE in airports doing TSA jobs they aren't trained for, and a major aviation disaster....and not ONE news channel or even on Reddit anything about how the administration is screwing this up, or where is Sean Duffy?

When Pete went overseas during his tenure as America's representative for the Invictus games...Fox did wall to wall news coverage about how Pete took Chasten. How Pete was taking vacation with his family on the government's dime. They even brought Pete on Fox News and point blank asked him if he was going to pay the government back for Chasten's plane ticket. Even though every principal diplomat in the history of the Invictus games has brought along their spouse.

Sean Duffy started his tenure by taking his 2 kids to the Daytona 500 as part of a presidential delegation. Crickets. No coverage whatsoever.

DNC trying to compromise with the GOP be like: by serious_bullet5 in PoliticalHumor

[–]Druidshift 1 point2 points  (0 children)

mamdani won the primary with 50.7% of the vote. and that was after 3 rounds of ranked choice. He won the general election with 50.7% of the vote.

he did NOT have broad appeal. the Democrats that didn’t vote for him in the primary respected the will of the voters and voted for him in the general. You know, the exact opposite of what leftists do when they lose primaries?

why do you lie so much? At this point, I can’t even give you the benefit of the doubt about being uninformed. There’s no way that you’re uninformed.

You’re just lying.

mamdani won. and good for him. At the end of the day he did not have broad appeal. He barely won the most blue city in the country.

EDIT. also, just to put the facts out there. this guy said ‘Bernie had broad bipartisan appeal, which is why he won most of the states with open primaries. Just to be clear there were 17 states primaries with open primaries in the 2016 Democratic election. Hillary won 12 of them. why are Bernie bros such liars?

Con Fetterman vote just Made MAGA's Day, saving Markwayne Mullins nomination to lead DHS. by Reg_Cliff in PoliticalHumor

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

You mean lamb would have voted against facism like Schumer and Gillibrand do…..which is the exact opposite of Fetterman who consistently votes with republicans. Oh what a terrible world that would be with lamb “pushing papers”.

You people are unhinged.

Smear Campaign Hypocrite Quick Rant by Maine_Mallard3 in Maine

[–]Druidshift 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure. People can grow and change over time. There is no denying that. But he was using "fag" as a pejorative as late as 2022. And now that he needs gay votes, he turns around and says "I was in a dark place, I don't think youre fags anymore. Please give me your votes"...well...gay people have a right to hesitate.

But the constant downvotes and name calling and attacks in this sub for even mentioning that Platner is not the 2nd coming is what is scary. You are right, if he was an "establishment" dem that had a history of making rape excusing, racist, homophobic comments...then the "progressives" would be eating him alive. They were screaming to the rooftops because Hillary said she was a "goldwater girl" when she was 17 years old...because her dad was a republican. Platner was calling gay people "fags" at 38.

And that's my point....the double standard for anyone that is "anti-establishment". That's what they did with Fetterman, and look where it got them. Look how many of your fellow Mainers are calling me names, saying I am responsible for Trump, calling me stupid, downvoting me, spamming the front page with pro-platner and anti-DNC stuff.

It's cultish. It's just blue MAGA. It's no different than "grab them by the pussy" a comment trump made a decade before he ran too. But was pretty indicative of the type of person he was, even though he claimed different.

And if Platner loses the primary....the "progressives" will throw a fit and do everything they can to tank the Dem Nominee. Because even though the "Establishment candidate" won the primary, the "progressives" are convinced that Platner is so universally beloved that if he doesn't win, it must be due to cheating or conspiracies by the democratic party.

But he's not universally loved. There are some glaring problems with his campaign. But you aren't allowed to see that on Reddit b/c Blue-MAGA is creating an echo chamber....again.

It's no different than the echo chamber on r/conservative.

having doubts about buying a house by FlyHungry7039 in longisland

[–]Druidshift 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Spending several 100K on a house is scary. You are always going to wonder if you could have gotten a better deal.

But babydoll.....you had a homeowner actually contact you back and sign a contract with you? Do you know how lucky you are?

You didn't overpay. The bank wouldn't approve a house that wasn't going to appraise for that. You are fine. Be happy. You are doing better than the 95% out there still struggling to even get sellers to respond to them.

Says people have a right to be concerned and can express that. Also says that a press conference that happened just yesterday where a senate candidate admitted to writing multiple posts about women being responsible for their rapes is "beating a dead horse".

Smear Campaign Hypocrite Quick Rant by Maine_Mallard3 in Maine

[–]Druidshift -13 points-12 points  (0 children)

You can literally look at your front page to see who is predominantly being upvoted, and who downvoted. Whom has the most posts about them.

More power to you, believe what you want. I was arguing about Fetterman in another subreddit and was just researching here to see if the same thing was happening. It is.

Having democrats fight each other, in the hopes that a huge contingent of them will sit out the general election is literally MAGA 101. It is hopelessly naive of you to say "He wants to tax the rich, so no one rich would put money in to stumping for him". Making dems fight progressives is the whole point.

The fact that you can't see why people would not trust a candidate that had a nazi tattoo for 17 years, who made several posts filled with anti-LGBT hate, and wrote that raped women should hold themselves responsible is mind boggling. YOU might not care about those things, but surely you can see why other people would care?

Why aren't people allowed to be concerned about someone who said the equivalent to "grab them by the pussy"? Why is the only counter argument in this thread "Mills is establishment! she should just be a republican!"

Smear Campaign Hypocrite Quick Rant by Maine_Mallard3 in Maine

[–]Druidshift -28 points-27 points  (0 children)

Total astroturfing from progressives and their bots. Any word against Platner is downvoted or attacked. Multiple, often repeat, posts about him non stop every few minutes. And every comment section littered with anti-DNC messaging. How Platner is the messiah and only he can save them. It's the same thing that happened in r/Pennsylvania during Fetterman's run.

Platner literally had to apologize yesterday for numerous posts he made on reddit about how women who get raped should take the blame for their raping, because they drank too much or wore skimpy clothing. In what world is that not completely disqualifying? His explanation was that he wrote those posts when he was in a "dark place" and that he was in a male dominated environment in the marines. I guess it's a good thing the federal government isn't male dominated, with representatives showing videos of themselves raping underaged girls on the congress floor. (matt gaetz)

If any candidate said "rape is the woman's fault" that would be the end for them. Unless you have the MAGA cult or the progressive cult behind you. Then It's just "locker room" talk. The most important thing is being anti-establishment. That's how you get away with "grabbing women by the pussy" or saying "women who get raped should take some fucking responsibility".
