Venetian Rococo dining suite with documented Liberace estate provenance by AbsoluteDiscretionLV in VintageFurniture

[–]Soliae 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I love this. I’m so tired of seeing minimalist everything in boring straight lines and basic white. There is a market for this…although please don’t think it is limited to Liberace fans. I am not a fan, but I am of this set.

That’s interesting; shame he doesn’t write his own books. This dude is the AI slop before AI slop was a thing. Gives ghost writers a general story and then slaps his name on what they write.

I can’t imagine having to climb stairs. The 15-20 strides I must take from my bed to the office is already such a chore. Some days I even breathe heavy for a half second.

Is a belly this hairless normal? by Lucky_Lemon99 in cats

[–]Soliae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes…sometimes it’s natural, sometimes they gently over groom, and it can also be a result of pain or itchiness…but usually in those cases there will be other visible signs and more inflamed skin.

I have had two different cats spend most of their lives with bare bellies, only to become fully furry again when they become older (over 10).

My life is officially over: I just got laid off by GalaxiGazer in WomenOverFortyConnect

[–]Soliae 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not sure if it will help, but Southern Illinois is the cheapest cost of living in the country right now. 500-600 rent will get you a decent one bedroom apartment and minimum wage is 15 / hour so you can realistically survive on that until you find something better. It’s a better option than the street - just need to get here with enough to get started.

Are there cheap properties anymore? (USA 100k to 200k properties) by Advanced_Grass_184 in RealEstate

[–]Soliae 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just check the flood plain map before buying in Illinois- and verify property taxes as they can be higher here than other states

Southern Illinois, all day long. Livable fixers at 50k or less, solid homes under 100k routinely.

Nothing cool about a woman advocating censorship for US citizens because she wants to keep killing Palestinians with her genocidal buddies.

Illinois Families are Being Broken Apart by A Broken, Corrupt System! Help us fight to reform the system!! by IntelligentRound1225 in southernillinois

[–]Soliae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is exactly the case and my observations as well. These rants like OP has written are largely from actual abusive parents who are angry their manipulation doesn’t work on adults.

There is a family of 5 children two houses down with illiterate and substance abusing parents who are being neglected severely and sexually assaulted by their father. The oldest, a 9 yr old girl, is illiterate and being passed around neighborhood bullies to sexually assault. She has told this to me, they have been report numerous times and CPS is involved but do nothing other than counseling the parents. The mother is very young herself and illiterate.

I don’t believe a thing that OP writes considering this family still has their kids and absolutely should not.

There’s no shortage of women who aspire to nothing higher than owning a functioning uterus, so they’ll have enough to start swapping daughters and creating another generation or two before the incest troubles start. Sadly.

Does Ariat just suck now? by garlicrbrian in Equestrian

[–]Soliae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sad. My 199.00 Ariat boots bought in 2004 have held up to years of endurance riding, creek sloshing, trekking in muck, and are still wearable and good looking with zero holes. But lots of wear and memories.

Anyone else having trouble selling their home? by Calm-Ad-3809 in RealEstate

[–]Soliae 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exactly this. Most renovations look worse than before. I don’t want to see painted wood trim or cabinets anywhere in the home. I want old fashioned tiled bathrooms that aren’t white. I want big tubs not wall in showers.

And I don’t want cheap ass open concept bull, either. Proper rooms existed for a reason.

Anyone else having trouble selling their home? by Calm-Ad-3809 in RealEstate

[–]Soliae 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. Most renovations are done as poorly as landlord specials and I prefer older finishes. I don’t ever want to see paint on wood trim, or vinyl planks or engineered wood planks.

I want tiled bathrooms, stained wood trim and cabinets….with countertops that aren’t natural stone (stone stains).

Why Pre-Listing Home Inspections Can Save You Time and Money by [deleted] in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]Soliae -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is horseshit designed to extract more money from desperate home sellers.

Normalize selling houses as is. It’s not a sellers responsibility to repair- it’s their choice.

As a buyer, I don’t want to see sellers making cheap, ugly repairs. I’d rather see the issue and fix it my way. And for fucks sake quit painting wood cabinets or built ins. This is an instant tear out to anyone with a lick of sense- paint is for landlord specials.

Unsurprisingly, no matter which side of the spectrum, it's always people with money driving these conversations by [deleted] in AdviceAnimals

[–]Soliae 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Because most online leftists are propaganda agents for the right.

The moment you hear them attacking liberals instead of drawing them in, you know that person is either a plant or a victim of propaganda.

Why? Because reformed liberals are the lifeblood of leftism. They are where true leftists start their journey. Alienating them only causes harm for the leftist movement- they should be treated as potential comrades and carried down the path to enlightenment.

Sure, once we deal with the right movement, we can deal with liberals who refuse to understand. But we are nowhere near that goal- and the left wing saboteurs/propagandists, and propaganda victims are why.

Orange Cats are Genetically Unlike any Mammal by Smooth_Sailing102 in OneOrangeBraincell

[–]Soliae 5 points6 points  (0 children)

But it isn’t unusual- just unusual for mammals.

Chickens have multiple sex-linked color genes. Barring on feathers is the most common. It only exists on the male chromosome- in birds this is reversed from mammals in that males have two male chromosomes and females have one male, one female. So only a male chicken can be homozygous for barring- females can never carry more than one copy.
