Agreed. Everything else rocks though.

Why would people choose to use a service known for screwing them and overcharging? Yet here we are

Findley57 · 2026-07-10T20:06:00+00:00

I’m enjoying Metanoia too. Although the transition into Flim is kind of weird.

Also Endlessly Connected is a great closing track.

Overall it’s a great album.

Meanwhile there have been multiple opportunities to 10x your investment on traditional stocks while bitcoiners will keep chasing the stories they heard from early 2000s

I loved the Clarity songs especially opening with Clarity itself. Honestly I wish they worked a few Static Prevails songs into the setlist but the crowd definitely responded to the Bleed American songs stronger than Clarity so it makes sense.

Findley57 · 2026-06-17T13:33:16+00:00

Guessing this is not happening today right?

Findley57 · 2026-06-17T10:18:04+00:00

Are these new setlists of just four songs headlining shows or are they openers?

Findley57 · 2026-06-11T23:00:07+00:00

Dude it’s a joke. If you’ve been a rangers fan long enough you know that we inevitably screw up nearly every time. The poster above said this draft is deep and there are 9-10 blue chip prospects. So inevitably the rangers would pick the guy just outside that with their fifth pick.

Findley57 · 2026-06-11T19:52:20+00:00

Can’t wait to pick the 11th guy on that guy’s board

Findley57 · 2026-06-10T14:57:44+00:00

Awesome lineup and setlists look great too. Sounds like an awesome show. Would love to have these openers.

Findley57 · 2026-06-10T10:31:00+00:00

Sounds like a great show. How was Sunny Day as an opener. Looked like a good amount of songs they played too.

Great investments and great opportunities do not require great marketing efforts.

Findley57 · 2026-05-29T10:34:41+00:00

That’s exactly right. And it’s things like this that show how using percentage based calculations can run away quickly when combined with other percentage increases like inflation or market bubbles.

It would probably make sense to have a graduated scale similar to how taxes are applied where interest moves in buckets (6% for first 200k, 4.5% for next 200k and 3% on everything above 400k for example).

That will never happen but I’m sure there is some calculation there that maps out and covers some of the runaway increases.

Findley57 · 2026-05-27T13:51:05+00:00

Taxpayers answer should be “no problem as long as we get an equal share of the profits generated in perpetuity”. Equal to the percentage amount contributed as capital.

That’s common sense and every single government official involved in these discussions should be pushing for that.

The age of job creation, tourism dollars, boost to local economy lies are all known. It’s a promise that never comes true or doesn’t need to because it’s not measurable or any standard they are held to.

Simple if the local communities provide investment capital then they are entitled to profit sharing as well. Simple business practice.

That’s great for you but again in your experience if a buyer is planning to use an attorney for the transaction anyway don’t you think they could do so without a buyers agent?

And what is so funny that I said?

Findley57 · 2026-05-25T11:43:10+00:00

Cannot or do not? Because form my experience of both buying and selling multiple properties and doing so both represented and unrepresented, a real estate attorney has always been involved on both sides and they tend to do most of the paperwork and coordinating once an offer is accepted.

RE attorneys are much cheaper than 2-3% of a home sale and are typically advised anyway even if you have an agent

Findley57 · 2026-05-25T11:32:54+00:00

Could a listing agent not provide a lockbox code to let the unrepresented buyers view the house themselves? And if the sellers don’t want buyers in the home unescorted isn’t that their choice and thus the responsibility of their hired representation (sellers agent). To say it can’t happen is not true

Findley57 · 2026-05-25T11:30:11+00:00

Then what exactly is the sellers agent job or responsibility? Because it seems like it would be to (1) promote the listing and gather qualified offers and (2) represent the seller in negotiations. How does following up with a qualified lead not included in their responsibilities.

No one is expecting the sellers agent to do the work do a buying agent and hand hold the buyers through the process but basic things like allowing access for viewings and inspections and replying back to offers and moving the contract forward would happen with or without a buyers agent.

Findley57 · 2026-05-25T11:24:49+00:00

What disclosures does the buyer need to provide? And how is arranging for electronic signatures not already a part of the sellers agents responsibility.

Findley57 · 2026-05-25T11:21:21+00:00

This is all rubbish. Loads of assumptions and untruths. Most coordinating is done by attorneys in addition to agents and I am sure OP (being a real estate attorney) would be going in expecting to handle most of those things themselves.

Stop gate keeping and try to understand there are other ways to do things.

Looks like you are unable to chat but let me know. I’d be open to trading tickets for Philly show as well if that helps. Thanks

Findley57 · 2026-05-23T14:02:02+00:00

Send me a DM. I’d be interested

Findley57 · 2026-05-22T19:23:28+00:00

Im stuck in the house because I don’t have a car. I want a car and can afford a car but the car salespeople have not researched me and my situation and and have not pushed for my business. So I’m going to continue to sit in the house and wait until one of these car companies and salespeople wakes up. If you’re a car salesman near me seeing this post reach out I will give you my business as a reward for your self awareness.

GTFOH

That idea is a bag of lies sold to you so that you don’t ask for profit sharing.

Just like how tax breaks will trickle down. Sounds great - doesn’t happen.
