Who knows how long it would take for the value to climb back to what you paid for it.
I'm living in it, happy in it, and it fulfills all the needs my family has in terms of space. That value is peaked without much sign of changing. I can afford it, and we have enough afterwards to not be struggling.
Obsessing over the monetary "value" of it is how our entire country ended up in this state. Sure X years from now I might end up having paid more than I had if I bought it then, but that's also X years my family would have been living cramped and less happy elsewhere.
When the rates crater I'll refinance and save a solid chunk then, which I'm already in the pipe to do, and since I don't plan to sell the value otherwise is only relevant to the taxes/insurance I pay on it, of which the value dropping benefits me. I'm sure its more complex than that and guys deeply knowledgable about all this will yell about my idiocy, but living in paranoid fear of "what if I get screwed later" keeps you from too much in life.
Its Current Year. "X" edition means nothing anymore other than marketing buzzwords. Shows are releasing right now as "Complete Edition" the moment Season 1 ends, even though Season 2 is already confirmed. Any expectation you have of it being "all available" content before release is marketing playing off your assumptions.
This is scummy behavior, but these are the niggercattle who created this problem in the first place. Buying 100$+ version of games that come out, incentivizing companies to keep doing it.
"Really good people" don't commit major crimes in the dead of night on a speedboat. Its kind of a preclusion.
These kind of pity parties live by ignoring the giant elephant in the room of they were willing to illegally immigrate in the first place as a judgement factor. And that's the best case scenario of some magically perfect individual coming here with purely noble intentions of betterment, which is rare in itself.
while claiming you're colorblind
Said nothing of the sort, I said my issue with immigration was regardless of color. If there were a large contingent of Poles doing it, the problem would remain a problem.
I know reading gets in the way of your masturbation exercise here, but at least try to follow.
It not impossible, I'm white trash with an okay job and me and my wife were able to buy one even at the absurd current rates just a few years ago. We even skipped the "first time home buyer" trap by actually showing up with a pittance of a down payment. And its in a "high cost of living" state, though not a major urban city.
Its bleak all around for sure, but reality is often less awful than the numbers make it look once you go out and put in the leg work.
I bought my home just a few years back, which means it came with a bunch of fancy apps to track values and equity and all that.
And on every single one of them, there is a "If you Air BNB this many days of the month at this value, you can pay off your house by X!!" calculator attached. And its fucking juicy looking, like 7 years instead of 30 if you only do 12/30 days a month.
That's the kind of temptation that will get a lot of people, even those who aren't big rich investors looking into that market.
Americans don't need 'taking care of
When the government is involved, its literally their job and duty to put American needs above foreign ones. If they wish to not be responsible for that, then they can stop taking my taxes which they claim are literally for that purpose.
Housing is tight because of 40 million illegals not legals.
Half my town is owned by Asian and Indian immigrants, fully legally here but living in another state, who simply used all that money they had to buy up all the houses or open land to build cheap properties on.
You guys really don't want successful white Christians and scientists coming here from Poland?
I know this may shock you, but some of us can think beyond "WHITE GOOD" and our opposition to immigration isn't created on racial hatred.
literally goes around stealing diapers from pre-school dumpsters
its just indulging in fiction, not a real world act
No one cares about the guys sitting around jacking off to themselves, the point being made is they don't and never fucking did that. Furries were one of the first and most famous groups of "pushy, trying to groom anyone into their group" on the internet. The 00s were filled with "what's this random link, oh its furry porn."
If it was simple wierd masturbation, they wouldn't have the reputation they have in the first place.
Because the legal immigration limit is 675,000 per year.
We have 10x this number of actual Americans who need taking care of before we should be offering a single loaf of bread to non-Americans. By your own admittance they are buying up houses when American home ownership is at all time lows, and can do so because they are wealthy enough to spend "a lot of money" to get here.
So even when you are trying to make them sound like a good thing, you are showing they are still a problem.
There isn't even morale to degrade. Its a series that was long dead completely on its own because its big claims to fame were made irrelevant by technology. The "reboot" game series barely made one game before people started ignoring it.
The only justification I can find for these movies is the license has become so cheap, by aforementioned irrelevancy, that you can just slap it on generic action girl scripts for maybe a slightly higher return.
People are human before they are communists, or whatever -ist. Which means holding contradictory beliefs will cause anxiety due to its dissonance, even if you can "resolve" it through some convoluted means. You can trick your conscious mind, but you can't trick your brain.
In this case, the resolution they chose was anger at the men who they felt safe enough to attack directly while being vague enough that it could technically include the real predators even if they'd argue otherwise.
But somehow decided a sixty year old jewish woman can voice a young twenty year old white dude.
The voice acting industry has always had the glaring hole of "young boys? Eh we can just let any woman voice them, fuck it." Its such a common thing, with so little thought, that many women made their entire career doing it and they probably truly didn't even consider the hypocrisy this might display.
It annoys me a lot because its so rampant that during the "upgrades" Kai did to DBZ they decided Gohan sounding actually like a boy (despite having a female VA, she put in work trying) wasn't necessary and just let a woman make him sound like a full girl his entire childhood. And let's not get started on Granny Goku in Japan.
But voice acting is the one place where your race/sex/etc don't matter.
In fact, its one place where your performance can be so powerful that it overrides any complaints on this front. Keith David could voice a white dude and all but the most strict of racists wouldn't support it.
It's all self-congratulatory "me, me, me" bullshit
Reminder that the original named girl that was part of Epstein's first investigation willingly kept going back for the money and helpfully brought more girls as well to get them money too.
People threw the word pedo around a lot with this case, so much so that they lost sight of the fact that almost all known victims were Teens with just enough agency to make this situation worse for themselves. But because women, they will never take an ounce of reflection and accept that. Not when there is more money to be made.
So we get things like this, where we circlejerk endlessly about victims that have no interest in justice. And people who only pretend to care so they can take down their rival politicians, and couldn't name a victim to save their life.
How many times are they going to try and reboot this franchise into a movie?
The originals vaguely worked because it leaned fully into the sex appeal angle, and that only got two. Without that Lara Croft is literally a generic action girl that we have dozens of every year, and nobody cares in the slightest. And even then, Angelina Jolie was in her peak "hottest woman alive" phase back then to pull those numbers, and this bitch ain't got nearly that level of draw.
Pamperchu is mostly known for his irl behavior
Which include wearing overalls with his literal fursona (a baby Pikachu wearing a diaper) stitched onto them.
Did you think furries were an online only thing? I truly envy your innocence if you haven't had to physically be among them and deal with their inability to not be degenerate perverts at every moment.
jacking it to drawings is less degenerate than wearing an adult diaper in public for illegitimate reasons
This naive nigga hasn't seem the amount of babyfur and diaperfur (usually one and the same) content that exists. Pamperchu is literally one of the most famous furries of the last two decades and he literally steals, microwaves and wears diapers from pre-schools.
I get the point you are trying to make, but it feels too whitewashy of how fucking bad most furries actually were. The milquetoast ones rarely had anyone care about their existence to begin with.
The only difference really is you were allowed and encouraged in basically every corner of the internet to tell them to yiff in hell and bully them in every manner possible.
The places you weren't? Why those were places like tumblr where trannies and the rest of the Woke sprouted from later!
but I care much more about the optics and implications of the White House publicly posting footage
This is likely the intent too. We are at like 3x the self-deportations than direct ones as a result of the optics and fear the White House has been pumping out about it, so this is likely another continuation of that successful tactic.
Feminists have always had the "two button" struggle of hating men but loving foreigners and being unable to resolve it in anyway that has results. Same with trannies/gays.
Even Queen TERF Rowling is still just barely coming around to the idea that her precious women are the victims of something she championed loudly, and she is still fighting hard to not admit to it.
I don't know if it's the work of a few independent sickos or something more coordinated
We know discord trannies raid a bunch of the boards to coordinate, as well as a bunch of other things like BNWO and Andy Sixx stuff is also being spammed by dedicated individuals.
Lolishitters are organic, they've been there since the beginning and the reason so many of us are numb to their existence is because of how long we had to share space with them. They weren't the Jailbait posters, who kept to their own threads and you'd often find the lolishitters trying to keep them out if they didn't.
Jake Solomon, the man responsible for basically every non-Civ game in some way and directly every XCom one, was literally forced out after Midnight Suns (a very good game that had no marketability) bombed horribly.
It'll be hilarious when they try to make an Xcom game without him, because his finger is very notable on the franchise.
