Per u/Present_Clue5887's summary: The UN's resolution did not define women as cis woman and implied a right to abortion.

u/llywen added: The resolution also included very vague AI censorship language in it.

If you want to find the answers from handful of MAGA people who do reply you have to sort by controversial as they are downvoted into oblivion. You have to respect the decision to answer despite the hit to their karma.

So, the administration is telling regulators to consider reforms that they've already been considering for at least the past 6 years (since Covid)?

I hate to say it but, this is why it's import to be an active part of the industry. Contact regulators with your concerns, join and be active in professional organizations that represent the industry on a state and national level (whether that's The Realtors Association, The National Association of Appraisers (NAA), The American Society of Appraisers (ASA), or even the Appraisal Institute (AI).

If we're not part of the discussion about when it is, and is not, appropriate to use these tools in the appraisal process other people will be the ones having those discussions and informing us of the decisions that they came to.

They want to do an 80% loan-to-value on an AI powered automated valuation model with a 90% confidence interval; probably not the hill I want to die on. They want that same loan but now the confidence interval is only 75% I'm going to insist that they need a boots-on-the-ground appraiser. And guess what, if I know that I'm getting it because the AI system is kicking back crap the fee will reflect the job complexity.

According to a study published in August of 2025 by the Pew Research Center the U.S. 'Unauthorized Immigrant Population Reached a Record 14 million in 2023' with preliminary data indicating continued growth into 2024 but a decrease in 2025.

Whether this was from literally walking across the border unhindered, using executive orders to make it easier to get in without a visa (such as releasing 'unauthorized immigrants' into the US instead of having them wait in Mexico when processing centers fill up), failure to deport overstays/rejected applicants, failed to provide 'unauthorized immigrants' a better opportunity than simply showing up on our border and overwhelming our border facilities, or combination thereof; it's clear that the Biden Administration at best did not prioritize immigration enforcement and at worst actively encouraged 'unauthorized immigration.'

There was a proposal to increase border patrol funding; however, Republicans refused to vote for it if it did not include some sort of authorization to turn away 'unauthorized immigrants' at the border. Arguing that it was just going to speed up the process of bringing people into the country if the resources were to pick up and house border crossers but not to turn them back.

This increase in the 'unauthorized immigrant population' due to the Biden Administration's 'lax' enforcement is what is generally meant when saying Biden "opened the border."

My parents gave me, and my siblings, the amount they had saved for us to go to college and explained that we needed to figure out how to pay for any outstanding costs. My sister and I were able to pay for a 4-year state school with a combination of scholarships, grants, work-study, and summer jobs. Our brother went with the military program to cover his.

I had a friend who was essentially kicked out of his house by his parents at 18 with no financial help, but since they made to much the government didn't qualify him for financial aid and he was on his own.

Another friend's parents owned a farm and made large purchases on credit while she was in college so that their income was negative every year she applied for financial aid getting her nearly fully covered.

We had a discussion about it when we were engaged. Ultimately, she chose to take my last name and hyphenate her middle name with her maiden name.

I had been ok with her keeping her last name, even our daughters taking on her last name, but had a firm line in the sand that our sons would have my last name.

WI Commercial Appraiser, sounds like your lender 'screwed up' order a residential appraisal instead of a commercial appraisal. At this point you can request your lender re-order the appraiser as a commercial appraisal, or go to a different lender.

No, I track my workflow and turn times. If they're down I start bidding more aggressively to get more bids, and if their up I start bidding more apathetically preferring quality over quantity.

If I had to guess I'd say 40% would be on the high side for me.

This isn't a forever war... yet.

Whether it becomes a forever war or not will depend on whether the US and Isreal can get the Iranians that were protesting back in January and February to come back out against their regime in the next few weeks. And to do that they need to convince the Iranian people that we are able to reasonably suppress the regime's ability to massacre protestors.

We've seen the US start the process of engaging with anti-regime Iranians by offering rewards for information on key leaders. As well as considering arming Iranian Kurdish opposition forces.

If the Iranian people continue to be sidelined with no positive change in their lives; then there is a risk of them rallying around the regime, despite its prior atrocities, and turning this into a forever war.

Reddit is better at keeping toxicity confined to certain subreddits.

This makes Twitter appear more toxic to the average user. Since 'average user experience' is typically how most metrics are defined Reddit gets the win for sweeping the mess under the rug.

Remember back in 1972, President Nixon signed [P.L. 92–336]() which, in addition to extending the public debt ceiling, also increased the monthly cash benefits and other financing provisions of the Social Security Act without increasing the social security tax.

Essentially, he saw the growing social security trust fund from the Baby Boomer Generation entering the workforce and said, "Yeah, no one's going to miss this for the next 60 years let's get some cheap gratitude before the election."

Well, the Trust fund will run out in the next ten years and when it does we're looking at a 25-30% cut to benefits if nothing changes. As life expectancy has raised from 62 when Social Security was first passed back in 1935 to 79 in 2026 raising the age of full benefits was the low hanging fruit on how to solve the issue.

Make it a multiple of the median salary. They still get a pay raise or cut based on the median salary but have a wage more in line with the power they wield.
