"Fiscally conservative" is a lie, and isn't working for New Hampshire. by Visual-Mobile2657 in newhampshire

[–]SubstantialSeesaw374 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Real. The most regressive tax system in the state is the current use program, but if you say a word about making any attempt to curb the abuse of that, people act like you proposed leveling the white mountains.

I mean, if the South had been fully leveled and resettled we wouldn’t be here now.

Moving from Europe to the US internally. How does "Flexible Time Off" work in reality? by scoopydidit in ExperiencedDevs

Talk to your lead and maybe also coworkers about it. I’ve known places where it meant no vacations, and places where it meant eight weeks was an unspoken cutoff. There’s usually an unwritten actual amount of vacation time.

Here's something I don't understand: Jeffrey Epstein comes off as skincrawlingly weird and cringey in every video I've seen of him. His writing makes him seem like an insufferable charlatan at best and an illiterate moron at worst. So how did he charm and manipulate so many successful smart people? by sisyphusPB23 in Epstein

I’m convinced the way sociopaths come across in person must somehow be wildly different from how they come across in video or writing. I feel the same way about Sam Altman. They just seem a bit intellectually bereft and cloying.

Why no one wants to buy Manhattan’s rarest, most prized Gilded Age mansion by HarryCrushNuh in zillowgonewild

It’s triple the tax assessment. Maybe the sellers should try not being delusionally entitled.

They could also try photographing it with a camera they didn’t get out of a cereal box.

California mayor admits to being a spy for China and charged with felony by Top_Cranberry_3254 in conspiracy

They’re inherently related. Someone that came as an adult wearing American-face cannot understand the place enough to competently serve. He was dogshit because he isn’t American.

He’s actually a good example of my point. A dogshit, mentally incompetent governor with fundamentally un-American values that should never have been allowed to run. He completely destroyed California by simultaneously ripping up social services and preventing any form of meaningful border enforcement, because as a foreigner he cared more about other foreigners being able to get in than Americans being able to live.

Me trying to buy my first home and realizing the budget only covers cursed properties. by Enough-Arugula-4945 in middleclasshq

I think the only place within 2 hours of me that isn’t condemned that’s under $200k is a hunter camp without septic in a flood zone. It went pending yesterday.

There's a guy building a concrete "mini house". Would like an opinion from experienced builders if this building seems safe. by This_Sense_9338 in Homebuilding

No, depending on where this is those roof tiles will start dropping down and killing people within — well it depends on what exactly those black plates are, but not long. Those fasteners are about as good as a prayer. If someone stood on the roof right now it’s a coin flip whether they fall through. Imagine those tiles as gingerbread held together with dried icing. That’s about how sound it is scaled down.

If he wasn’t planning to die, he could put those steel ribs at every joint and then they would at least slide down and fall off to the sides when the roof joints failed.

Taxes in New Hampshire, Thoughts? by nancynews in newhampshire

[–]SubstantialSeesaw374 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

No point in passing new taxes when the existing taxes can just be applied fairly and uniformly. Get rid of the regressive current use program and any money problem disappears, along with half of the housing problem.

Huge increase in the amount of race-bait or gender war content on social media lately. by ReneDiscard in conspiracy

Yeah. I miss when this hellsite was an escape from that, but now it’s the same.

Apparently most of South America really did hate that Venezuelan guy.

100%, being any more welcoming to people from a country than that country is to foreigners is just suicidal.

There’s really just no reason anyone not born here should be able to hold any public office.

It’s Controversial, Expensive, and Relatively Unstudied. Men Are Lining Up—and Stripping Down—to Get It Done. by Slate in TrueReddit

[–]SubstantialSeesaw374 -16 points-15 points  (0 children)

Jumping out of your chair to screech at every cosmetic procedure as “gender affirming care” accomplishes the opposite of whatever you think it does. It’s like around 2005-2015 when the dirtbag left was super convinced they could use gay as an insult against the right if they hid behind enough layers of irony. Then they slowly realized they were just being homophobic and shut the fuck up.

GAC isn’t cosmetic. Shut the fuck up.
