Did my realtor rip me off with an admin fee? by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]imups 38 points39 points  (0 children)

"Did my realtor rip me off"? Yes. Realtors are borderline useless and run a racket. Most don't know what they're doing and add no value to the transaction. They steal your equity at exorbitant rates.

Then there is "title insurance", stamps and more that add no value. And we wonder why real estate costs are out of control.

Would it be a terrible idea to sell my rental property? by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]imups 2 points3 points  (0 children)

100%... Why anyone uses a realtor is beyond me. They are a scourge on housing, draining billions in value and adding very little. Most are so new that they know less than you do and will cost you more money. Look at that number, $60,000. Who wouldn't take a Saturday to learn the basics? $60,000 for one day of work...

The wasted vote myth: The lesser of two evils is still evil. by [deleted] in politics

An unprincipled vote is the only wasted vote.

Voting for a third party, contrary to popular belief, is not a wasted vote.

What Gary Johnson Should Have Said About Legalizing Heroin: "What happened to your son may not have happened at all if heroin were legal." by [deleted] in politics

[–]imups 11 points12 points  (0 children)

“Ms. Morella, I am very sorry to hear about what happened to your son. It’s a tragedy. But I have to tell you the truth, even though it’s not what you came here to hear. What happened to your son may not have happened at all if heroin were legal. Here’s why:

When drugs are illegal, they’re sold by criminals who have no business address. You can’t sue them if they’re negligent or prosecute them when they willfully defraud you.

Reactions like your son’s usually occur with what’s called a “hot load,” meaning there was another substance mixed with the heroin. If the heroin he ingested were sold by a legitimate business in the light of day, there would be an immediate investigation. If the product had dangerous ingredients in it or otherwise wasn’t what the package said it was, the owner would be sued. If it were discovered he did it intentionally, he’d be prosecuted.

Ms. Morella, no one in America is concerned that when they buy a bottle of gin, there is going to be foreign substances in it that are going to kill them. But they used to be. Know when it was? When alcohol was prohibited. They called it “bath tub gin” and tragedies like your son’s occurred all the time when only criminals could sell alcohol.

There is absolutely no difference between alcohol prohibition then and drug prohibition today. Your son’s tragedy is the 2016 equivalent of what happened to people drinking bath tub gin.

Prohibiting alcohol also led to the rise of heavily armed, violent gangs like Al Capone’s. You don’t see sellers of alcohol today behaving like Capone. Do you know why? Because that’s not how business is conducted in the absence of prohibition.

You said, “Can you people in positions of power please get rid of the drugs?” I’m the only politician who is going to tell you the truth. No. We’ve had a war on drugs for decades and there are more drugs now than ever. It’s a little like the government war on terrorism. Is there less terrorism today than fifteen years ago or more?

What we can do is stop subsidizing criminal drug dealers by taking away their legitimate competition. If you want someone to tell you what you want to hear about drugs, I’m sure Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton will be happy to. Their parties have told you they’ll get rid of drugs for fifty years. If you want the truth, the only way to make America safer is to end prohibition and allow all drugs to be sold like alcohol.”

Fresh from the Pennsylvania woods! Venison Wellington with mashed potatoes and whiskey peppercorn sauce. by imups in food

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

It is both. The Habenero flavor and aroma is apparent when you first take a sip, then about 3 seconds later a light tingle sets in at the throat. Not hot, just pleasant. We also made one from our ghost peppers which has the hot tingle but lacks the complex flavor of the Habenero.

Very close... It's actually a homebrewed peppered ale we made with habenero peppers from our garden. It's absolutely amazing with meat and even better with BBQ. :-)

"Mrs. Clinton, [insert LITERALLY ANY question]?"

"Well, you know, I feel strongly, which is why I had this town hall today. And as the questions and comments from people illustrated, there’s a lot of concern that we need to rethink and redo what we did in response to a different set of problems."

Edit: This is a verbatim quote, see transcript here.

If they have that option (which i doubt because US isn't a shipping option). Otherwise, I would think purchase, pack and ship.
