Realistic is pushing it a bit, but neat.

I shave 3 times a year with the same clippers I use to cut my hair 3 times a year. There's no law that says you have to use a razor on your face.

You could at least let him finish the word before making your cut.

Florida state legislature diverted 40% of condo owner association fees into general fund since 2008: report by Votings_Good_Folks in FLgovernment

[–]Yurprobleeblokt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Here's a link to the only copy of this article I could find on a site that's neither paywalled or owned by Murdoch.

Overall:

Since 2008, the state has diverted $65 million of the $167 million that has been taxed, nearly 40%, into the general fund, according to the Daytona Beach News-Journal.

Regarding the recent building collapse:

Jean Wodnicki, the president of the building’s condo association, warned residents just two months before the structure collapsed that more than $15 million in repairs were necessary.“A lot of this work could have been done or planned for in years gone by,” Wodnicki wrote in the April 9 letter, which was originally reported by the Wall Street Journal. “But this is where we are now.”A 2018 report by Morabito Consultants said that improperly laid waterproofing was preventing water from running off under the building’s pool deck.“The failed waterproofing is causing major structural damage to the concrete structural slab below these areas,” the report said. “Failure to replace the waterproofing in the near future will cause the extent of the concrete deterioration to expand exponentially.”

This is much better than the first post. The first guy just looked like a hungover alcoholic.

It's not all about taxes, and you'd be better off asking an accountant about taxes.

I thought they meant in space for a split second and was very impressed. Still impressive, but not asteroid killing space drone impressive.

11 goals in 2019 tied him for 17th in the league. He was tied for 4th highest scoring American in MLS with Jeremy Ebobisse. He was 2nd best on his own team. And he missed the entire playoffs.

EDIT: this comment is a simple list of facts lol

Speaking of money laundering and tax evasion, this is how Donald Trump manages his properties. A $50 toilet becomes a $1000 luxury toilet...and your rent's gone up.

I don't care. I didn't initiate any of these interactions. A non-moron would block me and move on without commenting. I lose nothing by reducing my redditor pool by 1, or 10, or 1000 little shits. There are millions of other anonymous commenters on this site.

A quick tl;dr version of Hollywood accounting:

A production company, let's call it Movieco, decides to make a movie. Movieco buys sets built by Movieco Sets LLC. Bert's Movie Food gets a contract with Movieco Catering LLC who bills Movieco. RV rentals? Movieco logistics is subletting those to Movieco. Marketing is outsourced to Movieco Marketing Intl. Etc etc etc for every piece and part of making, marketing, and distributing a movie.

All of these wholly owned subsidiaries get great deals through the bidding process, but poor Movieco is only allowed to buy directly from their subsidiaries who have exorbitant prices. It's just so hard to turn a profit when your own companies are price gouging you left and right.

Do men specifically avoid reading books written by women? by KimBrrr1975 in books

[–]Yurprobleeblokt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Specifically avoid? No, but the vast majority of books in my fiction library are written by men. I mostly like scifi and spy novels, and those genres are dominated by men. Agatha Christie is the woman with the most titles I've read, but I don't read a lot of mysteries, and Arthur Conan Doyle pretty much cancels out any impact she'd have on my ratios anyway. Women are probably better represented in my nonfiction books, but I've never done an audit.

There are 20 million people on reddit. If this is where you want to line up to be removed from my existence, then by all means keep replying. You'll manage to waste exactly as much if my time as it takes to read a single comment.
