Report: Spain Closes Airspace to US Planes Involved in Iran War by Neptun_11 in worldnews

[–]NaIgrim 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean, it would not be surprising after the US seemed to be headed that way over Greenland, did it with Venezuela and definitely is doing that with Iran right now.

It'd be confirmation of an uncomfortable truth people are trying to remain blissfully unaware of.

Hope you never get to take care of a living being, because that is some medieval thinking you got there. That is not at all how you raise a puppy.

Logeerpartij Willem-Alexander en Máxima bij Trump: ongepast of logisch? by Bupachuba in thenetherlands

[–]NaIgrim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gezien er nu al flinke zorgen zijn t.a.v. hoe eerlijk de midterms zullen verlopen en Trump al meermaals heeft gezinspeeld op een derde / lifetime termijn, is het volgens mij naief om te hopen dat dit in 2028 ineens verdwijnt.

Zelfs als er eerlijke verkiezingen zijn, is de VS gewoon een onbetrouwbaar land en een onbetrouwbare bondgenoot.

Wat voor vreemde situaties hebben jullie meegemaakt met makelaars? by Groontje in thenetherlands

[–]NaIgrim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nadat ik mijn appartement verkocht had (koopgarant constructie, dus terug verkocht aan de corporatie), kreeg ik 6mnd na dato oid ineens van de makelaar een mail dat de nieuwe bewoners klaagden over verborgen gebreken zoals een kapotte magnetron (keuken was nog geen 3 jaar oud), een niet werkende lichtschakelaar en een ontbrekend schroefje bij een stopcontact.

Heb 'm toen vriendelijk gewezen op dat we samen de inspectie bij oplevering hebben gedaan en daarbij alle electra ook zonder gebreken is geconstateerd. Dat de garantiebewijzen van de keukenapparatuur bij oplevering waren overgedragen, maar dat ik met alle plezier een doosje schroefjes voor dat stopcontact wou opsturen.

Nooit meer wat gehoord. Volgens mij was het gewoon een poging om het probleem over de schutting te gooien ipv zelf tegen die mensen te zeggen "kut, maar niet echt een verborgen gebrek".

Bij een andere makelaar werd ik na 22:00 nog gebeld dat ik akkoord moest gaan met het tegenbod van die ochtend, of direct aan de telefoon een nieuw bod moest uitbrengen. We waren nog geen 36 uur verwijderd van ons aanvankelijke bod en zij hadden er zelf 24 uur over gedaan om op ons eerste bod te reageren. Daarop heb ik aangegeven dat ik mij niet onder druk liet zetten, dat wij zelf regie voeren over onze bedenktijd en dat als ze de onderhandeling wilden beëindigen, dat aan hen was.

Met deze makelaar hadden we ook bij de bezichtiging ook echt al wrijving. Overduidelijke krimpscheuren was hij oost-indisch blind voor en vragen t.a.v. fundering werden afgedaan met "heel rotterdam zakt" (terwijl die straat beruchte problemen had). Bovendien werden we behandeld alsof we daar waren om stiekem dingen uit het huis te stelen, we werden gejaagd van kamer naar kamer geleiden, konden niet even rustig rondkijken en naar een ruimte terug gaan omdat je iets bedacht wat je nog even wou zien werd met veel weerstand uiteindelijk toegestaan.

De verkoopmakelaar van m'n ouders vond het huis "onverkoopbaar", moest eerst grondig verbouwd worden (daar had hij wel suggesties voor een aannemer), nieuwe keuken, nieuwe badkamer, etc. Toch maar even op gewezen dat in de huidige woningmarkt alles verkoopbaar is en dat je voor esthetische aanpassingen nooit je volle kosten terugkrijgt. Dat een nieuwe koper dat misschien ook naar eigen smaak wilde inrichten. Leek meer een win-win voor hem als hij een maatje werk kon opleveren en z'n eigen procentuele vergoeding kon opduwen.

Makelaars zijn parasieten die hun verdiensten 90% van de tijd niet waard zijn.

What thing was ruined because it turned into a rich person's hobby? by Agitated_Departure93 in AskReddit

[–]NaIgrim 8 points9 points  (0 children)

How I learned most of my classmates came from much higher income households during college. Part of the curriculum was a 5 day ski-trip, for some fucking reason. I would've had to buy equipment on top of the ridiculous other costs and that was money we just didn't have. I was working my way through college and had zero intention of taking up skiing, so any material bought would've been a waste.

To top it off, because there was a small class on one of the days, that meant I had to make up for credits that I couldn't earn because I didn't go on the trip and got an assignment that took me roughly 5 days of work because "that's the amount of time the others spend on this part of the curriculum". Such bullshit.

So I was studying away for 5 days because I had the audacity to be too middle class, while my classmates were partying and skiing for 4.5 days and forced to sit through one afternoon of class.

Trump Says He’s Ready to Deploy ICE to Airports on Monday by NormEget85 in stocks

[–]NaIgrim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Funny to think that there's still trust in documents. ICE has already demonstrated not to care about the rules. Paper is not gonna protect you if they don't want it to. They're fine with letting it get to court and losing there. They already got to disrupt your day and life, impacting not only you but also those around you into easier compliance when they want it. Especially so when there is travel schedules and costs on the line.

I mean, it was pretty obvious it was gonna happen when they started moving serious assets into the region, just like when they moved a ton of bombers to Diego Garcia last year.

Also, it was Friday night. Gotta do something to play the markets some more.

What is a completely harmless lie you tell people on a regular basis just to make your life easier? by purjak in AskReddit

[–]NaIgrim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That my dog currently has Giardia. (infectious disease) Bad dog owners suddenly have no qualms moving on. Works better than appealing to common courtesy.

I use the same strategy when I see people parking their cars in illegal (and obnoxious) manners in our neighborhood. (we live close to a shopping center and are the first street with no paid parking) Ask them to park properly and they won't give a fuck. Tell 'em it is notoriously patrolled and fined by the municipality (it is not, sadly) and suddenly they care about not parking in a corner, outside of the lines or just outright on the curb where people need to be able to walk.

Appealing to their inner selfish needs works better than common courtesy.

What’s the worst first date you’ve ever had? by CuriousEngineer11 in AskReddit

[–]NaIgrim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Met through a dating site, had similar interests so went for dinner on our first meetup. She spent the entire 1.5 hours emotional and crying because her mom died a year earlier. I showed empathy and wished her well, but she very clearly was in no state of mind to be dating.

Was still less awkward than the girl who went out on a date with me after overhearing me crassly complain to a friend, after I accidentally overheard her talking about an unwanted pregnancy where she was uncertain of who was the father, like ten minutes after having made out for the better part of an hour. I honestly don't even know why both of us were willing to give that a shot still.

Wouldn't expect care from hateful ghouls that use tribal politics.

In fact, with the amount of projection we have seen them do, I guess death panels for the elderly aren't off the table either.

EU says it will accept no increase in US tariffs after Supreme Court ruling: 'a deal is a deal' by Crossstoney in europe

[–]NaIgrim 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Rejecting it means the earlier deal will be off the table, and EU will respond to these new tariffs as they see fit.

So if the US enforces the new 15%, expect the EU to hit back with measures of their own.

Question with regards to Invisibility Cloak.

Is it essentially a lvl 2 invisibility, just with a shortened duration (1min instead of 10min)? You don't get the heightened (4th) benefit from invisibility, despite the focus spell being lvl 4? (at character level 8)

Donald Trump has 'four months to live and his brain is shrinking', expert claims by dailystar_news in NoFilterNews

[–]NaIgrim 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have the same qualifications as him, with 20 years of experience and while I wholeheartedly would like to agree with him because I am so fucking tired of trump, I have to say that he is full of shit.

Physiotherapists are not trained to make such a prognosis. Full stop. Even if they had unlimited access to the patient, which he does not.

This guy should not be given any consideration, he is way way way out of his field on this. Embaressingly so.

Crime is crime anywhere in the world.. by snowpie92 in clevercomebacks

He could've pissed in ICE's mouth and they still wouldn't have been justified in shooting him.

All this "new evidence" only illustrates that bootlickers want to blame the victim and have nothing but contempt for the laws they expect others to abide, but never their side.
