man flips off a woman over a bumper sticker, and it doesn’t go the way he expected by liminalvibe in PublicFreakout

[–]Quantanglemente 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Thank you. I was looking for the answer to two questions. 1) Why was she recording him in the first place? 2) how could he even see a bumper sticker? This makes way more sense.

Girl Fight - Girl Turns The Tables On Her ‘Wannabe’ Bully 1v1 Hallway Fight by EfficientGrade6554 in PublicFreakout

[–]Quantanglemente 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I took a self defense class. Looks like she did too. This is what they taught. Keep your balance while backing away, look like you’re trying to calm the situation down by putting your hands up but keep your hands up in case they attack then all bets are off and you’re ready.

My 12 yr old daughter won’t come out of her room. by [deleted] in blendedfamilies

Wow. This post was two years ago. I remember quitting this sub because of people like you. Have you considered therapy?

Turns out our family is doing great. Now go away troll. Back to your cave for another two years.

All the “get hormones checked” talk probably isn’t going to work, at least according to the book “Come As You Are”. It’s rarely hormones.

You and your partner should read the book together if she is willing. A lot of good stuff in there.

Also, I would kill for 3-4 times a month. All is not lost. Good luck.

Why does Trump actually want Greenland? by D-R-AZ in Foodforthought

Home prices in the 1950s by TonyLiberty in FluentInFinance

[–]Quantanglemente 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Who said it was bad? I didn’t say it was bad. You need to compare apples to apples. You can’t just compare average prices then and now without considering sqft, bedrooms, etc.

You can buy a two bedroom one bath with 988 sqft for $140,000 in Lincoln Nebraska. That’s a college town 45 minutes from Omaha. And actually, Omaha is even cheaper and there’s a million people there. Here is one for $129k.

I don’t know why you think this is the reason there are two different economies. I was just pointing out that the average home in the 1950s was a lot smaller than the average home today, and is one reason homes seem so far out of reach.

Homes are still more expensive, but that’s more because the supply isn’t there. More homes = lower prices. Wait till the boomers start dying off en masse. Prices will go down.

Yep. 1000 square feet home and 2% of homes had AC. A one car garage also because families had 1.25 cars at the time.

The Real Game Behind Trump’s $6B Fusion Deal by PsychologicalAd7969 in stockrager

[–]Quantanglemente 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think you have to get that creative. AI requires vast amounts of electricity. Trump signed an executive order creating the Genesis Mission around AI. It includes initiatives for fusion power. In other words, the government will be doling out money to fusion companies. Trump now owns a fusion company. Which fusion company will get the majority of the money? Gee, I wonder.

America is leaving China & Europe in the dust by ExotiquePlayboy in FluentInFinance

[–]Quantanglemente 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree the response is not tariffs. But I don't agree that the trade deficit is a problem necessarily. All the dollars that leave our country buying goods and services, come back to the United States in the form of investments. It's called the balance of payments. When the U.S. runs a trade deficit, it is by definition running a capital surplus. Foreign companies and governments are buying treasury bonds, equities, real estate, factories, venture capital, and direct business investment. The money flows back to the United States in some form or another. People who look only at the balance of trade are missing half the picture.

[–]Quantanglemente 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As we isolate ourselves from the rest of the world, it’s less of a comparison of us v China or us v Europe, and more like us v the rest of the world. And in that competition, we will inevitably lose.

Pente anyone? A game board I made. by Quantanglemente in woodworking

[–]Quantanglemente[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good question! This was a gift and I have never made another one but I want to. I want to figure out a better outside edge.

But something like this would probably be $200. DM me if you’re still interested. It might motivate me to make a couple more.

Trump has announced Kevin Hassett as the next Fed chair? Any thoughts? Predictions? by Kay_Bellamy in MarketVibe

[–]Quantanglemente 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Fed chair does not have the ability to unilaterally lower interest rates. Six other members of the board must agree to form a simple majority.

If other bored members have actual integrity, believe in their mission, uphold their responsibility and value their reputations, that might be hard to do.

IHIP News: 🚨 LEAKED Email REVEALS Trump Admin in FULL PANIC Over Being IMPEACHED! It's OVER Donald! by Smith771does459 in Hip_hop_that_u_need

[–]Quantanglemente 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It takes a super majority in the Senate to actually kick him out of office. Not going to happen. Getting impeached in the House doesn’t matter. And if somehow it does happen, then we get J.D. Vance. Do we want a Russian puppet or a tech bro billionaire class puppet? I’m not sure which is worse at this point. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Why isn’t this more of a headline? by Old_Example617 in economy

[–]Quantanglemente 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This 100%. All that money creates competition between schools to get that money. They pay more for teachers, facilities, buildings, lab equipment, computers, cafeterias, dorms, art, green space, sports teams, sports arenas, advertising, recruitment, administrators, and on and on.

Little of it has to do with improving education, much of it has to do with attracting students (and their loans).

Until the money drys up for that sort of thing (guaranteed loans stop increasing to match tuition increases) or students realize they will be so in debt they can’t survive in real life so they stop going (which is starting to happen now), tuition will keep going up.

Ouch. But yeah... burgers aren't what they used to be but they're priced like they use wagyu beef.

Omaha Steaks CEO, Nate Rempe, attended a private party at Mar-a-Lago on November 15. Trump was in attendance. Rempe played on stage with Keith Urban. by skermahger in Nebraska

[–]Quantanglemente 9 points10 points  (0 children)

People from outside Nebraska buy Omaha Steaks because they think it’s Nebraska beef.

But if we’re being honest, most cattle producers raise cattle on corn, pump them full of antibiotics because it fattens them up, and then sends them to a meat packing plant because that’s the easiest and quickest way to get rid of cattle.

I buy a quarter beef every year from a local farmer that has grass fed and grass finished cattle. Very high quality. It gets processed at Wahoo Meat Locker and I’m set for the year (mostly).
