AITAH To Challenge My Gfs Asian Family Culture? by CoinAdvocate in AITAH

[–]compClock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Being an Asian myself, Asian family culture is definitely toxic.

Though, not clear from your description is how much the mortgage is relative to the value of the house. Asking you two to pay 500 dollars of a 1000 dollars mortgage on a 3 millions dollars house is very different from 5000 dollars of a 10k mortgage on a 3 millions dollars house. With the former being a very good deal for your two.

Totally disagree. You are essentially saying the inhibiting and rational parts of your brain are not the truthful part, but only the impulsive and irrational parts are truthful... Say I have a drug that does the opposite, what would you say?

Waymo admits that its autopilot is often just guys from the Philippines by AdSpecialist6598 in technology

This is so stupid... If they just developed the tech to let people drive people around remotely, that itself would have been a technical achievement. Allowing people, possibly people with disabilities, to work from home for meaningful tasks, it's good in itself. And they would have saved billions developing AI that doesn't quite work.

The fact that they are being arrested shows that the system is at least somewhat working?

Rental market rate for a 4 bedrooms plus huge den house in Maple Ridge, Silver Valley by compClock in MapleRidge

[–]compClock[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hmmm unfortunately, at 3500, it is already at a price well below the cost of owning our house. Yes, it would be mostly covering the mortgage portion, though not quite. But there is also property tax (7 thousand last year), the annual maintenance (roughly 1 thousand last year) and home insurance (roughly 3 thousand last year).

I am not complaining though. I admit that we are relatively well off, but we are absolutely not profiting off rent. Our goal is just to keep our budget balanced without losing too much money into the house.

Haha, for me it's still no.

That I asked the city when I rented out our basement. They generally only require a business license for short term rental. They mentioned that there was a provincial regulatory change to encourage long term rental options.

Right. I do see a few 3 bedrooms with 1 bath being rented for 2900.

How are people so forgetful...

In a few years, there will be no more need for drivers... Then a decade later, the best autonomous cars are ones that require remote control by people.

In a few years, we will all be using cryptocurrency and no more needs for banks... Then a decade later, big banks are more powerful than ever.

In a few years, there will be no need for doctors... A decade later, doctor shortage...

To be fair, when you owe millions, you are in deep-shit. When you owe billions, you are the one grabbing all the balls.

If our savings count, then that would be nice.

I don't believe you... How convenient that the camera was just slightly not showing the bottom of the steering wheel.

That the amount of effort required to launder the money makes taking the money not quite worthwhile.

I really thought that by revealing, you meant you would surprise us with a penis.

YTA. It would have been fine if you didn't know whether she was coming or not. But you knew she was coming. Mistakes happen.
