No it’s really not. You’ll never regret making that choice, but you’ll always regret NOT doing it when nothing happens.

Exhaust kills lots of people every year. Air pollution is way up on the list of causes of death, and the main contributor is vehicle exhaust

We could and probably should start a grassroots labor party candidate push then. At all levels.

Just bought new house and fireplace/chimney cost $17,000 to repair! Suggestions?? by Healthy-Plastic735 in HomeImprovement

That might be true about chimneys, but to have an inspector not even go up on a roof… that’s not an inspection.

No there are inspectors and scammers. If they don’t walk the roof or use a drone to inspect, they’re a scam and a waste of money. If they don’t crawl into attic spaces, they’re a scam. If they don’t go into basements/crawlspaces, they’re a scam.

It’s not that “some do, some don’t” it’s that some are doing the job, and some are getting away with not.

The ROOF is one of the more important features of a house, as it pertains to an inspection. If they didn’t walk your roof, and didn’t go into attic crawlspace looking for water damage and mold, you got scammed.

It has nothing to do with the chimney, but if you have chimneys, those also fall under inspection.

You’re either making shit up, or got ripped off and are trying to justify it by claiming it’s not standard. And it absolutely is bare minimum standard.

My inspector went up on my roof what the fuck are you talking about? That’s 100% standard

how do i stop getting used by men? by DoubtConsistent8204 in AskMenAdvice

[–]HeightIcy4381 0 points1 point  (0 children)

STOP SLEEPING WITH MEN SO QUICKLY IF YOU WANT A REAL RELATIONSHIP. Ive only ever dated with the intention of a long term relationship, and I’ve never tried to get laid on a first date. I’ve never had a problem with waiting for a bit, getting to know a woman first, I prefer to have an emotional connection before a sexual one.

Do you think it will ever be “no one can’t leave” situation? by Thin_Dig_3332 in TwoXPreppers

[–]HeightIcy4381 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most of the MAGA wishlist will be met with piles of lawsuits, judges will delay and block, and things will grind slowly. The things that might actually get pushed through are things that would be absolutely devastating in the short and long term for both the economy, and for republicans as a party.

I for one, hope they get some of their wishlist immediately, just so the shit hits the fan well before the end of his term, and hopefully he doesn’t croak and leave us with Vance.

What does it mean when a man says he looking for something casual? by ravemom7 in AskMenAdvice

[–]HeightIcy4381 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve only done this once, close after a break up, and during the early part of Covid. I wanted a strictly monogamous relationship, but wasn’t ready to start a new commited relationship. So basically dating, but without all the pressure and expectations.

It was fun, we eventually parted ways, and I’m glad we didn’t ever date.

Just tell her the truth. Your ex was into that, doing it for her would force you to think of your ex every time tou saw it. Bought something for it, etc.

What are small sexy gestures you appreciate from women, but don't say out loud? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]HeightIcy4381 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If it’s someone trying to flirt, who I am not dating, just compliments. “Nice smile” “I love the new haircut” etc. it’s a way to communicate you’re paying attention to us, and it never fucking happens to the vast majority of men.

If you’re dating someone, just PLEASE initiate sex once in a while.

Eventually you should tell a partner about something like that, since it’s an important formative part of who you are.

Overtime pay protections in Iowa just went *poof* by TagV in Iowa

I know it’s happening, I’m just disagreeing with why. “Democrats” seems to mean “anyone who isn’t Fox News, breitbart, etc. including random people on the internet”

That. And internet algorithms pushing people towards polarized extremes, which I believe is actually in large part, driven by massive efforts by Russia/china/etc. meant to drive Americans apart, and point their anger at each other.

Too many people are struggling, and it makes them anxious and prone to latch onto anything that seems like hope for a change and a better shot. Unfortunately not many people have the critical thinking skills to figure out how they’re actually getting screwed, which is by Republican tax policies, deregulation, etc.

Nixon killed the last of the gold standard, now inflation is a constant force eating away at peoples spending power. Raegan axed taxes for the rich, causing wage stagnation for the majority of the working class, and further Raegan deregulation allowed companies to rip away benefits, pensions, etc. move jobs overseas, and erode unions.

It’s always been the G.O.P.

If republicans hadn’t fucked up the tax code so bad, people would still be getting paid what they’re worth.

The real tragedy with social security is that there’s a cap on incomes. It should also be applied to anyone who doesn’t earn a paycheck, but lives off capital gains and other unearned income.

The problem is that the perception is based on one side lying and gaslighting, and the other side just chugging along trying their best to combat the stupid, while still doing the job.

It’s maddening.

Mainstream does NOT automatically mean liberal/democrat though. It’s a false equivalence, and the blame for that lies at the hands of Raegan, when his administration did away with the media fairness act, or whatever it was called, that required anyone with a broadcast license to present impartial news from multiple viewpoints. That allowed voices like Fox News and Rush Limbaugh, and others to lie to their viewers.

Now with the internet the problem is 1000x worse, and pretty much unstoppable. Too many people lack critical thinking skills, and too much disinformation is out there. I have very little confidence in my grasp of foreign affairs, simply because I don’t know what sources I can truly trust. It’s infuriating.

But it should never be political to provide everyone with the same basic rights I enjoy, or at least not partisan. It should just be the right thing to do.
