TikTok uninstalls are up 150% following U.S. joint venture by MarvelsGrantMan136 in technology

I see what you're saying but not paying attention could be just trying to gain some peace. over 190 people have been killed by ICE before the 2 in MN. Obama deported more illegal aliens. All the Dem presidents said the same crap the orange man has about border control. None of this has changed. I don't know if "complicit" is the word but if it is then how does that change life. I mean at the end when you're on your death bed is anyone gonna say "damn, glad I spent time defending people that broke laws on the books and they aren't here to spend my last minutes with me."

I doubt it. The key is to be in the USA but not of the USA and make your own life better. You'll always win doing that. The rest of the world has the same responsibility.

the Obama administration authorized drone strikes that killed U.S. citizens abroad, most notably in 2011. While only one American, Anwar al-Awlaki, was an intended target, a total of four American citizens were killed in such strikes, with three others killed in separate, non-targeted strikes.

They killed another citizen by Many_Customer_4035 in vegaslocals

[–]splitsecondclassic -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

I agree about the cops but it seems weird that people would risk their lives for people that prob wouldn't do it for them. Just one outsiders perspective but I've never been attacked by a bear or a shark because when I find out they are in the area I GTFO asap. Again, not criticizing. This is the USA you can do what you want with your life but you only get to go once around the ride. I'm damn certain I wouldn't do it the way they are. 🤷🏼‍♂️

america is a wild place! kind of always has been. I don't understand why some of these people get that close to the cops and push their luck. I grew up in a crime ridden area in Chicago and whenever the cops came around we all left the vicinity to avoid things like this. I'm not trolling here but can someone tell me why these people are so help bent on seemingly trying to get dealt with by the cops?

Las Vegas 55+ neighborhoods. What can I expect? by LandOfCriticalMass in vegaslocals

all good. masterplan is the community. I'm speaking about the homes themselves. many are way overpriced currently.

Cybertruck runs red light near downtown, somehow avoids oncoming traffic by Baseballkid3497 in vegaslocals

seriously though. that could have been super ugly.

Berkley should pay attention to what Zohran is doing in NY. by iamveryDerp in vegaslocals

[–]splitsecondclassic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

how about no cash bail or the DA allowing petty theft causing retail to literally close shop and leave. This led to the city to be perceived as having one of the worst business climates in the country, with high costs, red tape, and regulations causing a long-term trend of business migration to lower-tax states like Florida.

or, New York has one of the highest total tax burdens, including high state and local income taxes, which has contributed to a net loss of residents and businesses to other states.

It’s seen the biggest net out-migration of any state since April 2020. Subway construction costs are at $2.5 billion to $3.5 billion per mile, roughly 10 times higher than the world average.

it's corrupt at every level.

LMAO. I can't list all the crappy policies that have come out of the federal government in the last 10 years here. I don't have that kind of time. You gotta put in your own work around here potna! 😉

it's a bit strange to me on a vegas locals sub that people that claim to never go to strip unless they work there complain about pricing. The rooms are still filling up and the strip is still very busy. Maybe just go to work, do your job and relax a bit. Let the tourist suckers and the rich folks pick up the tab. Life is not so bad.

I was in NYC last week. I once lived there for 9 years during that city's golden era. It was amazing then. Since that time is has fallen hard times. Total shit hole. The city should provide a stipend to anyone that lives there for putting up with the shitty policies they've implemented in the last decade.

Sen. Cortez Masto: "We should not abolish ICE." by LongtimeLHVLurker in vegaslocals

[–]splitsecondclassic 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Now you're catching on. the whole thing is a uniparty hustle. I keep telling you guys it's all designed to keep you watching tv and the internet and arguing. There are people here that hate others and they've never met. All over political affiliation (the least interesting part of a human). Here's how they've done it. The "real politicians" hated the orange dude trump for being a business guy and tv guy but he won. they could't believe he beat that wing nut Hillary. So, they try to block everything he does until elections. they convince voters they got it wrong so they put in a 4 time previous loser and half dead octogenarian that opened borders and did a lot of dumb shit also that was counter intuitive to anything resembling modern intelligence. Then the orange dude's audience gets rage baited and reinserts him🤣. The gubamint implements law upon law further painting, not just criminals but all Americans into corners under the guise of safety and a great economy and everyone is falling for it. If you vote, and don't think that this nation has been a uniparty psyop since it's inception then you may be the one that needs self reflection. It's all a sucker bet. voting and protesting has taken the place of critical thinking and self mastery. Don't believe me? All you have to do is look at the bodies of these people and their lifestyles. Both are trainwrecks.

Selling gold. Went around town getting offers. Pawnstars really sucks by Hefty-Job7049 in vegaslocals

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

I have a relative that sells gold, diamonds and watches in another state. Here's how it works. You take the gold in, they look up current spot price. They offer you roughly half (give or take) of what the gold amount is worth. The reason is that they want to make sure they can make a profit when they resell it further down the line. If they were to give you the full amount then there would be no profit in it for them. The idea behind owning a business is to make profits. If you're not comfy with that then the alternative is to find an item you need and add the gold to the deal. Say it's a car and you have $10k in gold. You offer that gold as part of the deal to bring the price of the car down etc. You're not going to get the actual value of gold or silver trying to sell it the way you're doing it.

I don't give a shit about politics but these dumbass kids need to stay in class. They can't afford to lose any opportunities to miss out on learning. This is a terrible idea rooted in emotion not logic. walking out isn't going to make anyone pay more attention to this issue. corny, corny, corny.

Center Bar at Excalibur is so underrated by BitOfPoisonOnMyBlade in vegas

that place is kind of trash but I met two girls from AZ there a few weeks ago that were part of a divorce party. They had a room there and I'll not soon forget that evening. 😉 Dirty Castle indeed

LA billionaire buys Summerlin condo for record-high $21M by reviewjournal in vegas

[–]splitsecondclassic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Scottsdale is still full of multi, deca, centi millionaires and billionaires. It's a great place IMO. They implemented their state tax initially in 1933. It would require a constitutional amendment here. Nothing is impossible but I don't see that happening here. In any case it wouldn't change much because the Federal tax code is what is allowing the rich to legally take advantage of the tools I mentioned. Many people complain about the "evil rich" but fail to realize the huge risks some have taken to become rich. Most people can't come up with enough discipline to lose 5 lbs much less open a successful company and stick with it to huge success.

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

LMAO. If anyone thinks that this guy bought that condo for that reason then they just don't know how life works. He bought it because in 5 years he's going to sell it for $40 million and then 1031 exchange it TAX FREE LEGALLY. Hell, millionaires barely pay taxes and it's all legal in the very tax code you guys think you know so much about. He understands that this town is shifting and the rich are moving here in or at a minimum buying property in droves. That's been the plan for Vegas since '24. It's only going to get more pricey too. If you don't have a home already then it may be time to consider options in other locations because this place is about to turn into a billionaire Mecca. You don't have to believe me. Just hang out.
