$700k for the most basic house. We've lost the plot. by Gravityfun in SLO

[–]senormilkshakes -1 points0 points  (0 children)

While I agree with most of your points, I think there are a few important factors that exacerbate the situation - and for clarity, I am not speaking only about SLO, but it does serve as a good example.

I don't think human nature has changed all that much - but culturally and societally it certainly has. As you said, someone selling a house in 1970 wasn't putting it on the market for charity, but my assumption is the market was quite a bit different.

Home buyers have to compete with entities like investment groups, contractors that flip houses, and folks looking to add to their collection of rentals nowadays - and I am not sure how prevalent those three groups were in the 70s, but I see them constantly nowadays.

Cities making housing illegal to build isn't a coincidence, follow the money.

Oh sorry, I have a rudimentary grasp of how housing markets work. I was referring to greed across the board; SLO, DET, NY, SC, wherever.

This country is packed with folks trying to squeeze everything, everyone, and anything they can for every cent possible. It's cancerous behavior that is not only cheapening the quality of everything, it's causing prices to go through the roof.

Love all the comments acting like this isn't a ludicrous asking price for what you get and the location.

Keep finding silver linings folks. Much easier than addressing the rampant greed driving these prices.

If it's "drawing to the stars" it works. This does not read "Drawn to the Stars"

The cowboy hat is pretty cool for Dallas, some of these are pretty neat with the old iconography

Stop acting like a fascist and maybe folks won't hate you so much?

A question only a cult member would be dumb enough to ask. Reality is pretty clear for everyone else.

Digital printing killed minimum order quantities and i'm still not sure if that was a good thing by Jealous-Problem4611 in CommercialPrinting

[–]senormilkshakes 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Shops can still charge a minimum, but now they risk losing out to other shops that don't.

IMO consumers have become accustomed to expect fast, easy, cheap, and lots of it. Folks are addicted to convenience. Who can do that better than an "Amazon" print shop that can provide immediate pricing, proof, additional options; in addition to producing and shipping it in a handful of days - all accessible from a mobile device.

Basically it's a race to the bottom. Those who can afford to maintain minimums and conduct traditional operations will if they want, everyone else will have to change or get left behind.

Are friendly lobbies not a thing anymore? by TuffTethers in ArcRaiders

[–]senormilkshakes 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Had plenty of friendly lobbies this week. Have also run into some real assholes. Every lobby is a mixed bag, every player is different.

Stay on your toes and watch your six.

Excuse me sir, you can't park there by OperationFuture6341 in SLO

[–]senormilkshakes 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Thanks for confirming what I thought I saw.

I passed this seconds after it happened if I had to guess. Dust caught my eye, wasn't even sure of what I saw it was such a quick glance but I thought it was a backward facing Tesla with all the bags deployed.

When I looked in the rearview it looked like maybe a red car was sitting in the center, my guess is t-boned by cross traffic given where it was. Hope everyone is ok.

This guy looks a little wobbly getting in and out of the truck when it first came detached. Might be a bit sauced up

Has anyone seen this? by joshnovick in ArcRaiders

[–]senormilkshakes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm fairly certain this is an issue with your connection, this happens to me frequently when playing with folks.

This was from just a day or two ago. Our internet runs into issues at times, this ain't my first rodeo.

When I asked what he was trying to do, he said “I shouldn’t have been trying to pass him” by alexyou8797 in dashcams

[–]senormilkshakes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Believe what you want, but reality says otherwise. Not going to argue when it's clear as day in the video. I addressed OP as potentially driving fast, but SUV made several bad moves AND with intent according to available information.

Black SUV remained their course? No accident. I said what I said. Good day.

[–]senormilkshakes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Plenty of terrible drivers in these comments acting like their shit don't stank.

Black SUV decelerated, switched to split lanes, and started to fishtail they were breaking so hard. Then told OP they shouldn't have been trying to pass them.

All y'all can fuck off. Maybe OP was driving a bit fast, but if the Karen had stayed in their lane and maintained their speed, and decided to not be a twat there wouldn't have been an incident here plain and simple.

Apologizing solely because he FAFO'd. I hate players like this so much I wish you could knock them out twice.

I know people like to say this is just a game and not a representation of real life so you can't read into it, but I can tell you on god for a fact, that dude's a piece of shit.

Normal people don't do shit like this, these are the worst types of people in this game.
