  • So there could be a few angles, all angles are you likely getting less for the convenience.

    One angle is that the contract they offer gives them the right to back out and to sell the contract to someone else, typically refered to as wholesaling. Their goal is to offer you say $150k and attempt to sell it for $200k to someone else. And if that fails, they cancel the deal and walk away.

    Another angle is they are a flipper and think they can make a profit regardless of the shape. They’ll still do an inspection to make sure there isn’t anything major.

    If they reached out to you, their margin will be tighter because they want to be in the area. If you reached out to them, their margin will be larger because you might be desperate for cash.

    If you talk to them, they will pressure you into signing a contract, but it would be worth it to find a real estate attorney to review the contract and be on your side.








  • Can you link me one time the government made a change google didn’t agree with, google continued operating as normal against the change, and challenged that change in court? That change being anything other than a new regulation that attempted to restrict some aspect of Google’s business?

    The only thing I’m able to find is essentially anti-trust lawsuits related to google search being the default in iOS and Android. I’m basically looking for any legal challenge google “resisted” for some societal good.

    (Edit: this isn’t like a challenge to your argument, I would just like to be better informed to see if google actually has partook in some sort of activism against the government other than fighting to continue their terrible business practices)

    What are you talking about? I said that google should show what is fact, not their opinion. Pretending the US’s official name for the body of water is the gulf of Mexico is denying the truth of what is happening. Other people outside the US report that the gulf hasn’t been renamed for their location, this is a US problem.

    And yet he does with no consequences because of the Republican administration (and frankly, the non-progressive Democrats). It’s not Google’s job to be a check on the government. If the US government department that manages natural landmark names has that set in their records, that’s what should be reported.

    First off fuck trump

    But my hot take is that google should show it as gulf of america and remove holidays from the calendar. Google should be a source of fact and the fact is the Republican administration has officially renamed the gulf of Mexico and removed those as federally recognized holidays.

    Google shouldn’t be “protesting”, the blame here is on the US government. I dont want Google’s “opinion” on things when I search. Be mad at Google when they also refuse to do black history doodles on their front page (like, right now I think)




  • But what are illegal immigrants doing that is bad? They pay taxes (sales tax, property tax via rent, and income tax if they have a stolen ID), they buy things, they contribute labor. We’re spending money to deport and hold them. It’s all a net negative.

    If the problem is that they are undocumented, then document them. Give them work visas. They don’t get the right to vote or have access to welfare systems with a work visa.

    How many children of immigrants speak really good English? They usually translate for their parents in my experience. Which means they are assimilating to the culture. It also seems most time the first child might have a more ethnic name, the first grandchildren usually have more American names.

    Illegal immigrants commit less crime per capita, which makes sense because if you are here illegally and do crime, you get deported after your sentence. They have a bigger incentive to not do crime.

    America was built by immigrants, we’re known as the cultural melting pot. When did it become such a big deal and so restricted to enter the country? Our birth rates arent high enough to sustain us forever, we need immigration. It just seems like we artificially made immigrating here harder so that people would inevitably sneak in so the capital owners had access to a cheaper workforce who won’t speak out about injustices for fear of being deported.






  • You should try watching some clips where they strip the laugh track out. Those are pretty good.

    I think friends has comfort status. It’s one of those shows people binge in the background like the office and parks and rec. I had a roommate who always had friends on while he played wow. I probably saw him hit season 1 four times.
