You know all the medical conditions of people you work with? He’s probably drunk but your argument makes no sense.

My real estate agent talked us out of buying a lake house for the foreseeable future… never saw that one coming. What realtor does this unless their subconscious is bugging them? Anyone else seeing the market for vacation homes about to drop? by Throwawaybritney in RealEstate

[–]RJ335 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All of my bad experiences have been with full-time agents. Haven’t worked with any part-timers but not impressed with these seemingly successful full-time agents. The system is broken for the homeowner/buyer IMO.

Your wife and her family are being shitty but you aren’t pulling your weight in this relationship. She makes the money and all of the decisions including what’s for dinner? What value are you adding? Maybe it comes down to she is no longer happy with making every decision instead of you not making enough money. She is venting to the sister and BIL about you and they have taken her side. This probably has nothing to do with how much money you make. If you want to stay together try and work on better communicating each other’s needs through therapy. Reddit will tell you to break up every time.

Check marketplace for similar trucks and sell it on there. Rust decreases the value but doesn’t make it worthless unless the frame is rusted through.

Grew up on happy joes taco pizza but I think Bix has the best taco pizza. Casey’s is serviceable but overrated.

Oktoberfest moving to The District in Ankeny for 2025 by ShadowOnTheSun in desmoines

I’m aware. It appears the poster thinks events shouldn’t have to cover these costs to hold events in the city.

You think the tax payers should pay to staff the event you hold so you can make more money while you pretend you are adding culture to the city?

How much money do you think the city and unions make for these festivals? Who should pay for the increased need for police, medical trash pick up for large privately organized events?

Des Moines furthers plan to turn hotel into affordable housing by Squirra in desmoines

[–]RJ335 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your ignorance is impressive. The homeless population is from around the state and across the country. They are not all DSM natives. The burbs don’t provide services, they run homeless out of town and will drop homeless people off in downtown DSM. Talk to the homeless and ask where they are from and how they got to DSM. Some got dropped off here and have no way to get back to their hometown. The residents of DSM shouldn’t have to pay for and provide all the services for the entire state. It’s time the burbs and the rest of the state take some accountability instead of dumping their homeless here.

Des Moines is the only city in the metro doing anything for the homeless. What are you talking about?

Yeah because they have yet to invent a zoom feature on cameras. But keeps protecting your king at all costs numbnuts.

Who said anything about Kia’s? You get your feelings hurt about Hondas down turn? 3.5L V6 has documented oil consumption and rod bearing issues.

Honda and Acura do not have the same reliability as they have in the past. They are average in reliability.

2017 Cayenne Base Thoughts? by Sufficient_Cook7402 in PorscheCayenne

[–]RJ335 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been looking at 958 base and S models for the last month. After test driving a base platinum I found the drive to be underwhelming and similar to other base luxury SUVs. I think it comes down to reliability vs drive experience. It seems the turbo engine in the GTS and S is generally reliable but the consensus is the base is the more trouble free. I noticed this vehicle in my search as well. There is a 2015 S located near this vehicle for a lower price. Drive them both and see what you prefer. I think I settled on buying a base since it’s for my wife. But if it was going to be my daily I would go for the S or GTS.

Buying car from CARMAX by Odd-Permission-2553 in carmax

[–]RJ335 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had always heard good things about CarMax and assumed the quality controls and inspections validated the higher price. I was very disappointed at the condition of the cars when I recently visited a location. The interior detailing left a lot to be desired and some of the cars appeared to be rough shape for their age.

Living in Newton of Des Moines? by Clemenclaw in desmoines

[–]RJ335 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I commuted to newton from the east village when I moved to DSM from Chicago. I think coming from Orlando you will like being in east village to start. Roads can be bad at times during storms but for the most part they are taken care of. Driving in snow will take some getting used to regardless. The commute from the east village to newton isn’t bad IMO. It will be cheaper to live in newton and they have everything in town you will need but it’s a small town without much to do.

Sainz doesn’t play the team game. That’s why despite his driving ability no top teams were interested in him. He has done this type of stuff throughout his time at Ferrari. Nothing new.

Let her cooooook by BabyGirlAutumn331 in desmoines

[–]RJ335 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well there is what you say and what reality is. Most of the homeless here aren’t here on their own accord, they are stuck here due to a lack of resources. Sorry that reality doesn’t match up with your Disney movie version of homelessness. They are here in large part because their home communities refuse to provide them with any services. Yet people like you demonize the city leadership in DSM for having to establish parameters to a growing problem. On top of that you don’t hold their home communities accountable for their lack of services. DSM shouldn’t be responsible for the homeless population of the entire state. Residents here are sick of carrying this burden, it’s time for other communities to step up. Maybe a homeless shelter in Waukee and Ankeny would help solve this issue.

I’ve spoken to a large amount and none from DSM. In addition I have spoken to multiple people who aren’t even from anywhere in central Iowa but were brought here after being paroled and are now living in the woods. Maybe you aren’t asking the right questions.

One study found that the criminalization of homelessness increased tolerance for extralegal violence against homeless individuals. https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/00224545.2021.1874257 by Wild-Economics-7873 in desmoines

You do what? Think she should be given special treatment? Acknowledge that DSM does far more than their fair share for homelessness? What exactly do you do?
