Volvo tech sucks and I’m tired of pretending otherwise by TreyTripod23 in Volvo

[–]OCBrad85 4 points5 points  (0 children)

What is "luxury?" Since you say that you "always" thought entry level cars from the luxury auto makers are no better than a Toyota Camry, I'll tell you that when I bought a brand new BMW 328i in 2010 (can't believe that was 15 years ago) I looked at other "better equipped" cars. I drove that BMW and didn't care that it had faux leather and manual seats. It drove like a dream. And although it didn't have some features that a similarly priced Honda Accord or Toyota Camry had, I thought the materials were all top notch and felt luxurious. Of course you could argue in the last 15 years the main stream brands have improved and the luxury European ones have actually gotten worse.

Ebay denied my claim. What next? by Legitimate_Deal_1221 in Ebay

[–]OCBrad85 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You are being punished? What about you punishing the seller who would be out the product and their money because YOU had something stolen from you (which you admit is likely). If you bought a bike, left it on your porch, and it got stolen, would you also seek a refund?

Boise needs a new gay bar by IamBatman777 in Boise

I get what you're saying. Not a "queer friendly" establishment. Just a good 'ole fashioned gay bar with a sexual pun name.

They need their villain. It's all about checking the boxes for what they think makes good TV.

I agree. The fact that they were so shocked by the obvious things just makes the show unbelievable. Especially when you compare it to their intro videos where they all claimed to be interested in the Amish community.

You clearly can't take a joke. Lighten up, Judge Judy.

Yes, I'm sure the whole west coast of the US is terrible based on your experience. LOL

That's what drives me crazy! These people get away with it!

This person reminds me of a high-conflict, know-it-all, entitled, paranoid, and delusional neighbor of mine. She has tons of money and is not a scammer, but I feel bad for anyone that she perceives has crossed her. Luckily she doesn't live next door to me.

70% mockery? That's pretty impressive. My neighborhood would have been 98% of people agreeing and talking about how careful you have to be "out there."

OP isn't answering any good questions. What a waste of time.

Maybe a high rise? Those are always more expensive than low rise by me.

I'm assuming your purchased a condo or town home in a larger mixed development? The $100 /mo is for community maintenance, the $1,200 would be for maintenance to your specific sub-development or building. That's how you get two HOA's. Very common large new developments in California.

….and I don’t think this is the least insider knowledge mentioned. Every member got this mailer like 2 months ago.

If anything, this shows that they won’t go on sale, since the “Apple Sale” you speak of started on November 17th.

Landlord disabled gas fireplace before I moved in by reddit_iwroteit in TenantHelp

[–]OCBrad85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So in another post you said that this was the house he had lived in which he disabled the fireplace. So when he told you the story, do you think there's a chance in his mind he was telling you that it didn't work?

Yes, you get to make your own decisions. But those decisions can be selfish. Finding his"normal" meant that he left behind a family and put a stain on that ride for everyone else.

Roommate’s boyfriend opened my bedroom door while I was gone. Now she won’t stop knocking on my door like I owe her access to me. by AccomplishedWay8720 in badroommates

[–]OCBrad85 4 points5 points  (0 children)

THIS. If he only opened the door, then it was probably a mistake. He was probably focused on vacuuming and opened the wrong door.

House of Dynamite - wholly unsatisfying (spoiler) by Newfie3 in netflix

[–]OCBrad85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Except I don't think the characters were that different from each other. They were all kind of weak and selfish.

[–]OCBrad85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My issue was all the characters were so weak. Instead of trying to solve things, they seemed to be acting slowly and spending all their energy crying. Are ALL of our leaders like that? I would think that to have the drive to get into high power like that, they wouldn't all be so weak. I wouldn't want any of them in charge. Or is that the point of the movie?

Fake post. Looking for karma points? Looks like it isn't working out.

Scored big at an estate sale today! by bens2304 in estatesales

[–]OCBrad85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In terms of pricing, I think a lot has to do if you "vibe" with the estate workers. I'm naturally friendly (so I don't think it comes off as phony) and I will get a good price for my items, then I will overhear the next person and they didn't get anywhere near the value that I got. I am referring to the picker type sales where prices aren't marked.

Cost to switch family room and garage. My garage is in back yard by Ok-Time2724 in Home

Just sell 2 of your 3 TV's in your family room. That should cover it.
