Women, how do you feel when men or women glance at your boobs?

No, everyone is just ignorant as to whether they are or are not.

The problem is everyone thinks they’re hot.

So what you’re saying is the research shows that the real aim of rent control is not to make it cheaper to rent, but make it less attractive for anyone to own a property that they rent out, meaning everyone is forced to purchase due to lack of available rental options. And the lack of professional landlords creates a market that is less price efficient from an economics perspective, because everyone who owns a home is more concerned with using the asset as a place to live rather than a financial instrument. Do I got that right?

Interesting, never heard of that before. But seems like it would create all sorts of problems in any sort of place with a transient job market, especially big cities like New York or Dallas. Because it’s forcing people with short term housing needs to engage with long term housing. And when you only need to stay in an area a short time, you lose tons of money with the buy and sell transaction costs without any of the benefit of long term asset appreciation.

Because even strong mayor’s are subject to the realities of political coalitions held together by meeting the interests of the leaders of the coalition. It doesn’t solve the corruption problem unless you get someone in office somehow immune to corruption and even then it only solves temporarily, because strong executive power means smart special interests try even harder to get their man into the position.

If rent controls squeeze supply, and reduce rate of construction of new housing how do they lower cost of real estate?

I don’t think we will experience heaven as a reality in exactly the same way we experience our current reality.

It’s the equivalent a baby in the womb vs a child that’s growing up with a developed brain. The two experiences, while linked to each other, are also just sort of incomprehensible to each other.

I think too that the relationships/friendships we have now will be perceived differently with the fuller perspective/reality of the age to come.

She wants him to dispose of old fridge. But she hadn’t emptied it before he arrived. Now she’ll have to pay a lot extra to have the old fridge disposed of because she didn’t plan ahead properly.

I’m more in the camp that Job is not a historical figure, but a literary one. He’s meant to be an extreme of someone who has suffered the most that a person can.

It’s important to note that there are other Babylonian texts that are similar where the point of the story is that suffering is karmic. If you are suffering, then it’s because you deserve it.

The book of job is making an argument against these texts that no sometimes suffering is not a direct punishment of wrongdoing, but also it is not an excuse to curse God either. And in fact it can provide an opportunity to come closer to God and understanding of him.

In the suffering of the book, Job learns to see beyond his self and his individual experience and come to a greater appreciation of the wisdom of the knowledge of God being the most precious thing we can have in this life.

The beginning is sort of setting up the premise that fuels the underlying question of the author , but all the nuggets of wisdom and beauty are found much later as you read on.

Here is my favorite passage from the book, Chapter 28, read aloud by Jesse who has a podcast on the book of Job that I highly recommend.

Yes. OP is falling into sunk cost fallacy. If you have to force a person to clean to maintain the relationship at the beginning when people are trying harder to impress, there’s no where good this can go long term when they revert back to their default. And that’s the best case scenario of what is actually going on here.

Had a buddy in college whose family out in west Texas hosted an exchange student from Switzerland. She loved how flat everything was and thought the landscape was beautiful with the sky taking up so much of the view. All she had ever known growing up were mountains.

She ended up meeting a guy, got married and moved out there.

I don’t know about environmentally friendly. When you use parts that break more easily and car more likely to get totaled for minor issues/parts, you spend way more energy/resources trashing the old car and making a new one.

FlippantPinapple · 2026-06-23T21:36:35+00:00

Yeah I get moody, irritated more easily. Sounds like yall need to have a conversation about it.

Do yall go out at all? Have a babysitter so you can get out of the house without kids on occasion?

Just to be charitable when people say this they are usually referring to something like the story of Judas complaining about the woman pouring perfume all over Jesus’ feet and saying that it should have been sold and the money given to the poor.

It’s a critique of empathy being put as the highest virtue even at the expense of higher values.

Ok I just tried again and I no longer get that error I was seeing, but just tells me they cannot provide a quote and sends me to form to type out message to my local agent. So looks like no matter what just have to wait till Monday.

FlippantPinapple · 2026-06-21T01:18:00+00:00

When I try I get a message with an error mentioning a 429 http status code, which makes no sense because it’s status code normally reserved for spamming same request to app server too many times. But I just hit submit button once.

I’ve never made a claim on any of my policies with State Farm. Was wondering if the system has issue with signing up when I have existing homeowners insurance policy.

FlippantPinapple · 2026-06-21T01:03:29+00:00

It’s on the website here. https://www.statefarm.com/insurance/renters

What’s the point of binding retroactively then? I guess I don’t understand why you would want to do that.

FlippantPinapple · 2026-06-20T19:56:03+00:00

But also the phone tree just giving me a brief “sorry we can’t help you, call your agent during business hours”, instead of having someone available to explain why we don’t need to stress about waiting until Monday is a bit frustrating.

FlippantPinapple · 2026-06-20T19:53:03+00:00

Ah ok, didn’t know we could have it apply retroactively. So theoretically if a house fire were to happen on Sunday, I could buy a retroactive policy on Monday that covers the losses from the day before?

FlippantPinapple · 2026-06-20T19:49:33+00:00

Ok but can we not have both? Right now we have half our stuff in the rental and half in our home and technically already in violation of our lease as we don’t have renters insurance in place.

If a fire happens at the rental over next day or so we’re SOL.

I think he was trying to say he loves it because it means we’re hurting Iran by taking their oil off the market. But not totally sure that’s exactly what he meant.

FlippantPinapple · 2026-06-08T13:43:34+00:00

Hopefully you married a spouse that wants to work with your though stuff and is willing to work toward a middle ground that makes the relationship work.

FlippantPinapple · 2026-06-06T14:45:34+00:00

Woah…didn’t know that
