Goes double for whether or not he's serious. The number of times I've heard something and have had a legitimately hard time telling if he's joking, or exaggerating, or just a complete fucking moron is absolutely crazy. Pretty much every sentence he utters becomes this endless game of trying to figure it out. It seems like his base just kind of randomly picks the option that makes the most sense to them and rolls with it.

It really does suck. The current voting system not only discourages anything other than a two party system, it basically guarantees it. And then it becomes one of those things where why the hell would one of those two parties, who's perpetually in charge, ever vote to change a system that would allow for another party (or parties) to come into power? It's just gonna be a slog to ever get it fully changed to something like ranked choice. But I'd absolutely love to be proven wrong.

You say that but the "what about ism" I have heard from friends and family regarding pretty much any allegation of a GOP politician is absolutely bonkers. I don't know how many times I have to say that I don't care what jersey you wear, you should get punished for doing illegal shit. But it honestly just doesn't matter.

We've reached the point where people think absolutely everything is just picking sides. If you want something bad for one side, it's only because you are in the other's pocket. It's just exhausting.

Ah, well... That makes a lot of sense...

That may be the most well lit house I've ever seen in my life. That damn place looks like a library or a business or something.

This video was such absolute bull crap lol. He randomly found some dude on like his SECOND night homeless that let him stay in a spare room for free.

Then he flipped free stuff on Craigslist and Facebook for cash which is... fine I guess. A little sleazy but whatever. Magically found transportation and the ability to store and haul this stuff all over town but never explained any of that.

Then he majestically found someone to cosign and provide initial payments to rent like a four bedroom house that he sublet to 3 other tenants... So he found some random guy to COSIGN for him which is crazy knowing how much liability that puts on you while ALSO finding a landlord that is allowing a guy with no job, no income, no credit, no prior residences, and no money to not only rent from him with a random co signer but also allowing him to sublet to three other random ass people the landlord will never even meet. This is possible... But EXTREMELY unlikely. Also, the fact that this dude tries to do a homeless challenge by immediately becoming a landlord is pretty funny ngl. Also it's worth noting that his final number ($64k or whatever) was revenue not profit. He said himself he was making about 50% profit so he made closer to around $30k on the year.

And on top of all that, the fact that he cites health issues as this unforeseen unfortunate issue that got in the way of his inevitable success is kinda rich. That's... kinda the deal with poverty. You fall on hard times. Health often falls apart. Unexpected expenses destroy you. It can and often does completely tear your world apart. Thems the breaks man lol. Dude just experienced life a little and quit.

The fact that whether or not I get medical care is almost completely determined by whatever insurance company I have at any given time is so depressing.

I have thankfully been pretty healthy in my life but the few times I've actually needed help I have been told to go fuck myself pretty much every time by my insurance and since I'm not a millionaire I can't afford anything that's not covered. Don't even get me started on the Russian roulette at the doctor's office where anything can cost seemingly any amount at any time and no one has any damn clue until the bill's arrived.

So whether or not I need the help really doesn't matter at the end of the day most times. All that matters is if the insurance company is feeling nice or not.

Yeah but I'm pretty sure that's just cause the sun is upside down over there or something.

The end reads like a bad Amazon review or something and it cracks me up.

This type of crap should be mega illegal. I feel like I see this all the time. I don't know how you would ever prove beyond a reasonable doubt that they are actually "laying people off" tho which I presume means it's unfortunately gonna stick around as a method for companies to avoid severance which sucks.

Also, not for nothing but San Fran and Austin are definitely not two most expensive cities in the country. San Fran is kinda up there. Maybe like top 5 in some lists. I legitimately couldn't find Austin in a single one but I only checked up to like the top 25 or 30 cities.

I look forward to Christians saying this is blasphemous and it subsequently being made illegal. As is tradition.

Why don't Lemmy posts (from any instance) show up on search engines? Like if I try my hardest to get a thread to show up, virtually nothing from the actual instances in the fediverse comes up. I'm sure if I searched the exact url or something I could get it but it's very noticable that the search engines by and large just kind of gloss over posts on here and I'm not sure why.

This stinks cause that was one of the biggest draws for reddit. So many times when you search some super obscure or specific question you'd get a few reddit threads with all sorts of information.
