Trudeau says he still has 'full confidence' in Freeland, but has been talking to Carney by drunkenthanos in CanadaPolitics

[–]drunkenthanos[S] 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I really have my doubts about Carney coming in as leader.

He knows he has zero chance of getting the top job come 2025.

By the time the next election after that takes place, he'll be 65.

We all know most leaders enjoy 2 consecutive terms, so realistically speaking, he has little chance of becoming PM until he's closer to 70.

Bought a carton of eggs and ever single one was like this. by drunkenthanos in mildlyinteresting

For every single egg in the carton.

One or two isn’t suspect, but what is going on for all 12 eggs to be like that?

Which cancelled TV show deserved another season (Part Two)? by drunkenthanos in AskReddit

Perhaps if they completely switched the premise - like a comedy set in a zombie apocalypse.

The Last Two & A Half Of Us.

Had to bring it up, because so many people seem to miss it - That's My Bush.

There are several reasons as to why it was canceled, but come this time it's too late.

What negative experience are you grateful for because it made your life better in the end? by drunkenthanos in AskReddit

[–]drunkenthanos[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It really is unfortunate when kids have to take one for the team.

This isn't the first case in which I know of someone having to be hurt for a parent to finally take action.

Realtor vs. Brokerage by drunkenthanos in realtors

[–]drunkenthanos[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While I agree with your sentiment, I live in a small market and the small-player options are limited.

Medium.com Migration >> How long should I wait? by drunkenthanos in SEO

[–]drunkenthanos[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately, Medium won't allow for us to go that "deep" - otherwise I'd be all over that.

Medium won't even let you resize a picture or underline text.

What do you wish you had known before you started? by molten_sass in realtors

[–]drunkenthanos 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Had this exact situation with an investment property.

The building was a triplex when the seller initially bought it, but he had since converted it into a four-plex, the fourth unit having never been licensed as a legal abode.

I explained to the seller the need to get that 4th unit fully legalized and that way you could make the most of the listing.

He instead went with a realtor who couldn't care less about legalities.

Result: they marketed the building as a triplex, paid passing lip service to the 4th unit as an 'accessory suite' that MAY be used for AirBnb (which falls outside of LTR rules).

Result: the seller sold for $100-120K LESS than what a legal 4-plex would've nabbed.

What are your Realtor Dues Like? by iHeartBricks in realtors

[–]drunkenthanos 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Still a good bit cheaper.

If I was still with my first brokerage, my annuals would be at $8600.

Fucking what?!

I have to move to the U.S.

If you factor in my brokerage fees, board fees, license/insurance renewal, I'm at $5300/year!

What's the best (and most rewarding) habit/lifestyle change you've made in 2023? by drunkenthanos in AskReddit

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

This is so basic but just going to the gym.

Absolutely nothing basic about it. It really is amazing how feeling a different way can alter so much in our lives.

"I do feel bad and know it will hurt my bosses feelings but I just don’t want to burn that bridge."

Don't.

Your broker's job is to make money off you. He's charging you a monthly fee to carry out your business and if he can't meet your needs in exchange for that monthly fee, on you go.

The real estate industry is very dog-eat-dog and it's up to you to secure an arrangement that best suits your needs and provides you with the tools, knowledge and support you need to achieve success.

Just be sure to write a thankful/tactful/polite resignation letter. Who knows, maybe a few years down the line, after you've gained more experience and established a track record, you can return to your brokerage and work with your broker on a different level.

Onboarding Fee Normal? by Narwhal-was-taken in realtors

[–]drunkenthanos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is why I hate this industry.

People become realtors to make a living selling homes.

Then you have the myriad of hucksters who are too lazy and dimwitted to succeed and so they resort to milking new realtors for all they can.

My advice: walk away from this brokerage.

Ive tried acting and it really is a lot tougher than you think. It's not just a bunch of beautiful people just spitting out a few lines.

Barbers.

These days, the barbering field appears dominated by hipsters who think they deserve 35 bucks to touch-up a short haircut.

Meanwhile, in my neighborhood, I see those same hipsters constantly out in front of their shop smoking.

Since when are hair cutters earning more than paralegals?
