  1. I kinda waffle on it tbh. On the one hand it seems to have worked that way. On the other, there's a lot - A LOT - of wackos in Washington too (no, not just Eastern Washington. Rural western washington has a lot of this). I don't know how much of it is "the aryan nations moved the socially acceptable window" and how much is "the upper northwest just seems to be receptive to far right/conspiracy/racism" which seem to come as a group for some reason. Maybe it's both?
  2. I banned bob. But the way I did it he can still react to things. I told Bob he's welcome to make a new account, but Bob the air force fan handle is lost to history. He's decided he'd rather be a react only lurker which.... I gotta give him props is a goddamn hilarious choice.
  3. I'd say that the presence of so many Aryan nations types also pushed the window of acceptable racism further in northern Idaho than anywhere nearby for the general population too. I dated a Filipino girl the whole time I was at Gonzaga and on the occasions we'd ski in Silverton or have an anniversary date at cedars floating restaurant there would be weird looks from more people than you'd expect. All kinds of good people too. People who gave the people giving us weird looks the stink eye lol. The whole panhandle just had a weird vibe
  4. To win they're gonna need to score more than 2 every 15 minutes. Just an idea
  5. he told you not to read that article. he told you to read the decision in the case. if you are incapable of doing that why are you even bothering to post
  6. "holding politicians i like to account is bad"
  7. I would say more than just that use. But as far as campaigning use absolutely.
  8. I'd put it as #1. but so much less rewatchable. it tells a complete tale.
  9. and yet 100% of us would take that streak just for that 1 year out of 5
  10. "nowadays 20% of all girlfriends are up for MFF threesomes" nevada convert -
  11. it's the most out of touch shit i have seen in my life
  12. you can't exactly bitch about not being able to downsize when you are unwilling to do anything to actually downsize, especially when the proposed method is "also provide you with passive income forever"
  13. lots of fire regulations that drive up cost per square foot when you get condos vs equivalent sized detached houses (from what i understand for good reason too). there's probably a break point when cost of land makes condos more efficient than lots of little houses but ECA would be the guy to ask, not me. there's a reason why all those working class '50s neighborhoods have a ton of 2-3 bed 1 bath 900 square feet houses on little lots instead of 900 square foot condos. tiny houses are dumb too imo. just have many regular sized houses. or hell require certain areas of new subdivisions to have half sized lots. lots of easier ways to do it than "must build little homes"
  14. 1. open container laws are stupid. you should be able to enjoy your hazy ipa while walking around a park as god intended when he made barley 2. yeah. decriminalization was intended to work hand in hand with a robust social services sector which led to rehabilitation. you need to do the hard part of building the social services, not just decriminalize as a "look we're europe now" button
  15. yes. depends on local climate and yer neighbors. lived in one in laramie and laramie winters are too cold for mobile homes imo. the biggest problem with them is the same problem you have with apartments, you're always going to be at the mercy of someone else wanting to raise rates on you. that's why tailing was right about condos making sense. once you have your mortgage, your payment is locked in. or if he's really looking to downsize, pay cash (or at least a massive down payment).
  16. "MY ALL WHITE ANGLO SAXON ENGLISH ANCESTORS MADE THEIR KIDS BE FACTORY SLAVES. BUT THE DAMN IMMIGRANTS NOWADAYS (FROM BROWN COUNTRIES) DON'T DO THAT AND THAT'S WHY THEY'RE ALL POOR AND DON'T BUILD WEALTH!!!!!" lmfao dude either you think I'm a moron, or you're a moron. either way, you're a racist dipshit
  17. ? do you think single people don't exist? the problem isn't building 3000+ sf homes, the problem is only building 3000+ sf homes. sprinkle those in with 2000, 1500, yes, 800 sf homes.
  18. ok? we had super low interest rates before covid, too. we had built up housing in a way that guaranteed we'd have a shortage before covid too. hell we were experiencing a surge in demand before covid too because millennials were aging into buying power. covid didn't make anything new, it just made pre-existing economic trends accelerate.
  19. meh. covid pushed it over the edge but it wouldn't have mattered if we hadn't had decades building to this in the first place.
  20. hey man. if you look at the history of wealth accumulation, it pretty much all happened after child labor laws. the vast majority of wealth accumulation in this country happened when the feds started subsidizing mortgages (for white people only, at first). it doesn't really matter how hard anyone works if our planning, zoning, and economic organization ensures that there is a perpetual gap between supply and demand in our most economically successful areas. Also, the single largest source of entrepreneurs and small businessmen is the children of immigrants lmao. so your racist rant is wrong in three ways
