BOOMER: "Just buy a house. Stop renting and build equity."
ME: "Houses are $450,000."
BOOMER: "So get a mortgage."
ME: "I need a $90,000 down payment."
BOOMER: "I bought my first house with $5,000 down."
ME: "What did your house cost?"
BOOMER: "$60,000."
ME: "So you put down 8% of the price. I need to put down 20%."
BOOMER: "Well your salary should be higher."
ME: "I make $70,000 a year. Banks say I can afford a $280,000 house max."
ME: "Everything in my area costs $400,000+."
BOOMER: "You should move somewhere cheaper."
ME: "All the jobs are here. If I move, I make $35,000 and houses still cost $250,000."
BOOMER: "It's about discipline and sacrifice."
ME: "You bought a house for 3 years of salary. I need 6 years of salary."
ME: "Plus I have $50,000 in student debt you didn't have."
BOOMER: "Well I worked hard."
ME: "So do I. I'm just playing a different game with worse odds."
BOOMER: *silent*
You didn't buy a house because you were smarter. You bought it because it was actually affordable.
Mitch McConnell trolled RBG on her death bed by releasing the list of nominees he intended to replace her with. He and Trump did that after she had ask McConnell as a personal favor, to wait until after the 2020 election had passed. I just thought you people should know that.
Elon Musk once jokingly offered to end World Hunger, asking how much it would cost as if it would be some incalculable number.
When the UN replied saying 6.6 Billion would be enough to immediately end Famine for the year he never responded, and a few months later bought Twitter for 44 Billion.
You struggle and suffer because people like him are allowed to exist, not because your neighbor is an immigrant.
In Germany, select supermarkets have introduced a thoughtful innovation for dog owners: pet parking pads.
These are modern, temperature-controlled and ventilated kennels installed near store entrances, allowing dogs to rest safely and comfortably while their owners shop inside. Developed by companies like DogSpot, the pods are designed to be secure, hygienic, and low-stress for pets. Owners can lock and unlock them conveniently via a smartphone app or a store-issued code.
The system helps prevent common risks such as dogs being tied up outside in bad weather or left in hot cars. The kennels maintain a pleasant climate year-round and feature transparent panels so dogs can see their surroundings, helping to reduce anxiety.
Trump dropped bombs on drinking water infrastructure in Sirik, Iran — in “self-defense.”
Not military bases.
Water reservoirs.
20,000 people in Bemani are now left without drinking water in temperatures reaching 50°C.
Remember this when they talk about “precision strikes.”
Every fact is “fake news”
Every protest is “paid agitators”
Everything they don’t like is a “hoax”
Every election they lose is “rigged”
Imagine being so fucking weak and pathetic that you have to invent an alternate reality because you’re incapable of dealing with the truth.
i read the article
group of men approached, called her slurs and assaulted her
she drew a pistol with the safety on and finger off the trigger to scare them off
she is facing aggravated assault charges, the men got charged with nothing
self defense is illegal for minorities
The idea vaccines cause autism was invented by Andrew Wakefield in 1998 and was so thoroughly debunked he lost his license for gross malpractice
And here we are 27 years later RFK Jr dredging up the same nonsense
Such a tiresome waste of time

Ah yes, tell me more about how the mainstream media is “far left.”
In less than 18 months, MAGA has managed to bring back measles. They defunded the Ebola monitoring program that likely resulted in an what is an emergent pandemic. Now, they’ve allowed the food supply to be contaminated by a deadly parasite not seen in the U.S. since 1966.
BREAKING:
Israel just dropped bombs on the Qaraoun Dam in Lebanon’s Beqaa Valley — a key water reservoir serving civilian populations across surrounding villages.
This is not a battlefield target.
It is a critical water infrastructure.
This is an act of genocide.
I made him earn every victory and stole a few from him along the way. We took our shots at each other, in the media and on the track. But I’d like to think that somewhere deep down there was an appreciation that we pushed each other to perform at the highest level, even if neither of us would’ve admitted it.
Tonight, I feel a little like the coyote with no more roadrunner to chase. His loss is all of our loss, but none more so than his family’s. Thinking of Samantha, and Brexton and Lennix who lost their father today.
Just LAST WEEK, when Kyle Busch won his 69th NASCAR Truck Series race, he was asked why these wins “never get old”
Kyle’s response?

And today, Kyle passed away at 41 🙏🏻
