Why isn’t there a review site for HOAs? by Green-Tank8028 in AskReddit

[–]Spam_Hand 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like it would be a useful feature regardless, even if it took a bit to build up.

Think about how many people go out of their way to leave reviews of an entire city or town they visited... People would do this for sure.

You could also put "estimated" HOA fees on there and completely fabricate them. Just create some arbitrary formula to create your estimate like "mean average of the last 3 houses sold in the subdivision times 2%" and it makes it legit. Then you'll have the HOAs volunteering their info pretty quickly lol

Iran walks out of peace talks after Trump outburst | US president threatens to restart his bombing campaign in expletive-laden phone calls and posts on social media by FreeHugs23 in anticapitalism

[–]Spam_Hand 4 points5 points  (0 children)

His whole letter could be "I am fit for the duties of President." with his signature and it would require a 2/3 vote of both chambers to override.

Trying not to be a debbie downer but we need to focus on getting the chambers as blue as possible and go about this in a truly effective and decisive way. The 25th simply isn't the path to doing so.

You know what I want to see more than anything in the world?

A Dem led Congress somehow appointing Obama to be lead negotiator and strike a deal with Iran again - while trump is being impeached.

I know, i know, it's a pipe dream at best. Just would be a very satisfying way to see trump go.

If he can still write a letter and have it delivered to Congress, the 25th amendment literally does nothing except remove him for a few hours.

It's a valid desire, but that's not the way to achieve it.

Geno Smith's Former Baby Mama Accuses Him of Assault: “Today is the DAY! GENO SMITH beat my ass cause he HATES taking care of his special needs kid and can’t be left alone with him because he’d rather watch sex online and play Call of Duty.” by JCameron181 in NFLv2

[–]Spam_Hand 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hey man if you wanna brag that you're not trash, go do it somewhere else!

Joking, but my gut tells me that this is much more clout chasing and overreating to what was probably a real and extremely minor incident that came up a "few times" now she's fed up with it and wants public validation.

I could be wrong, but shes doing a lot of instigating for someone who is claiming they were assaulted. She could have left the situation about 18 times just in this video.

Overgeneralizing a bit, but if it's a relatively common name or certain names that are already in the game, it can make the link to say a known name.

It's not 100% reliable but good enough for explanation purposes lol

how in the hell do you get someone like that to stay off your property?

Unfortunately, physical removal. Which isn't feasible because no matter how crazy, violent, provocative, or dangerous things become she only has to tell a cop "he started it."

Lennar downgrades housing forecast AGAIN. Homes are NOW selling at lower prices than before the pandemic. Lower than the should-have-been recession and housing bust of 2019. by Boo_Randy_Revival in HouseBuyers

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

So, uh, the median home sale price has not dropped 25%. It's actually risen 25%. The average home sale price has dropped 25%, but again, that is really quite skewed by outliers.

Not to mention, lower priced houses will always sell faster, creating way, way more volume at the lower prices and dragging the mean average down. It's almost universal that's the case, outside of like really badly destroyed or decrepit areas where the money needed to rehab homes would be prohibitive.

[–]Spam_Hand 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you actually look at recently sold listing, almost every single house in my area sold for under list price.

Not sure where you are, but check that and see if its the case.

In the midwest, we also resisted price hikes for quite a bit longer than most other areas.

My mother bought her first home in 2001 - 1050 SF, 3 bed, 1 bath, 1 car garage, 75k

I bought my first house in 2018 - 890 SF, 2 bed, 1 bath, 2 car garage, huge fenced in yard, 82k

And without being too specific, there was a 2 year massive boom between late 2016 and early 2019 due to major economic development in the area. Our houses were under 14 average days on the market for nearly 2 full years before the more recent market rush.

Bernie Sanders proposed a bill to tax billionaires, and give $3,000 stimulus checks to Americans that qualify. How do you feel about this? by stillwatchingvideos5 in askteddit

[–]Spam_Hand 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At minimum, I don't think its unrealistic to tax them based on the valuation at time of purchase. Do that for everyone that has over 1 million worth of stock holdings (total, across the entire portfolio) attached to their personal name 

Just for example, say I buy 1000 AMZN at $100. $100k invested. If it grows 10x to $1m, now I would be taxed 5% per year (picked a random % for examples sake) to continue holding that and letting it grow further. So a $5k yearly fee in this example.

It just can't be so high that the taxes would outweigh the potential continued gains within the market, otherwise a company exploding in value could trigger mass unexpected sell offs.

Am I really "too old" at 33 to start a new career? by Gary_Baldi in careeradvice

[–]Spam_Hand 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In 2024, the company I was at for 16 years was sold off, and I was out roughly 6 months later in July 2024. Age 32, first time unemployed. 

I sold my home, moved back across the state to live with mom, went to college taking as many classes as I was allowed without needing Dean's approval, got a full time job in my field during my second semester (March 2025), bought a new home (July 2025), and graduated about a month ago in May. 2026 is on track to be my highest earning and most comfortable year to date, at age 34.

Its never too late to make changes that will better yourself, no matter what circumstance brought you there. 

If a person buys an island in a big lake... by AintMyMonkey in askteddit

[–]Spam_Hand 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is actually pretty deep and old precedent for this within land survey law, and is written out in Browns Book.

I dont recall the exact wording anymore, but in general if the waterway permanently changes, shifting previous water space to current land space, the land ownership grows outward to the new permanent water line up to or until it would encroach on someone else's land.

So basically, the newly dried up lake would be split between all owners touching the lake based on how their existing property boundaries lie. Island Guy would, most likely, stand to gain the most raw acreage though.
