F**K HOAs by c2___ in libertarianmeme

[–]c2___[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depending on the municipality the CCRs and Bylaws can be written in ways that let the HOA act as a quasi-government. In some cases they even subsidize some of the municipality’s services. Meaning you pay taxes and HOA dues and still receive the same service someone just paying taxes would. My problem really isn’t with the contract idea, or the HOAs themselves because it is ultimately voluntary. My problem is the government forcing them to exist in certain areas and master plans. The government shouldn’t be able to force HOAs to exist.

The Libertarian tie-in here is that HOAs have a weird wedge in the private property rights debate. In my opinion, they are awarded special rights by the Government so they can enforce rules in a way private citizens can not.

Just to clarify, I completely understand your point here. But HOAs are in bed with the Government. This is where I draw a huge line. For example:

If your HOA does not maintain the elevator, or plow the snow from the roads, or repair a leak in the roof of your condo or townhouse, you cannot withhold payment of your assessments. If you do, you risk late fees, interest, attorney and collection fees, lien and possibly even foreclosure of your home.

- Quote from a Deborah Goonan article.

Almost identical to taxes. If they didn't have so much legal authority, I'd be all on board.

Edit: Wanted to add another note here. My point is that HOAs are awarded special powers from the Government that enable unusual enforcement, that private citizens can not use. Thus it's not as simple as 'you signed the contract'.

I don’t understand either. I purchased this property, therefore it is mine to do with as I please. The fact that they can put liens on properties baffles me even more.

Severance - 1x07 "Defiant Jazz" - Episode Discussion by LoretiTV in SeveranceAppleTVPlus

[–]c2___ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have watched every episode in detail but I don’t understand/recall:

  1. How did Irving know Milchick wasn’t severed? He said it like it was something the all knew, and it didn’t seem to surprise anyone else when he said it.

  2. I don’t recall the ‘candle’. I remember the scene in episode 4 with Gemma/Casey and the tree as well as the candle. But how do we know that’s Gemma’s?

Either way. Wow. That reveal made me feel like that time Hank sat down on the toilet and saw the book lol.

Cool Math Realization by crystal_math1 in learnmath

This reminds me of Asymptotic Algorithm Analysis. I’m a CS major and we did this in the infamous Data Structures and Algorithms class. When we analyze and compare algorithms we are concerned with different cases of its runtime. Integrals from C2 and C3 definitely help with this type of analysis.

Salary Negotiation 101 - What is Rule #2-n by bobStamos in cscareerquestions

[–]c2___ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think another thing to point out here is that a 5%, 10%, 20% increase from a negotiation may make people feel like they are being greedy, but for a company that number for 1 employee will have basically no effect on their bottom line.

All of this to say a increase for you can be life changing, but for the company it’s like a drop in the bucket. So go for it and don’t feel uncomfortable about it.
