  • It’s been going on too many places for too long to be more than a few things…

    It’s ours and we’re doing some sort of panic test or show of force

    It’s ours and we’re looking for something dangerous and don’t want anyone to know

    Its an enemy state and we’re either observing/gathering counter intel and don’t want to alert that state to our capabilities

    It’s an enemy state and we don’t want to have drones packed with ??? falling over homes

    It’s aliens ayyy

    There’s zero chance a military branch hasn’t had this on satellite 8k by now but nearly every situation means they will never disclose information to citizens.



  • It’s the barren concrete taking up 3/4 of the view with a hint of lawn behind more concrete. Europe was built before modern vehicles and has narrower streets with more residential in between businesses and has some cobblestone and what not. USA was built around railways and highways so everyone has a car and walking was an afterthought.

    Edit: additionally ever wonder why Europeans say how far a distance is in kilometers and Americans answer with “it’s about 25 minutes”? It’s partially that reason plus the physical distance is larger (some states are larger than countries) so miles mean less to us than knowing the time, post logistics.








  • I would argue that nobody should own a home they don’t actually live in. All renting out does is increase the housing cost overall because nobody would ever operate at a loss or to break even. This is the issue people have with say, Blackrock who buys hundreds of homes at a time and rents them out.

    Your family aren’t bad people but the business they decided to take up is inherently bad by design. If the law changed tomorrow saying all multi homes must sell to non homeowners, everyone would watch prices drop and be able to afford it.

    Using homes as an investment is at its basics, exploiting a need by interpreting it as a want or practical goods. Homes are for living in. The housing industry views homes like commodities as if people have a wide choice and selection when it’s really “Omg we can afford this one that popped up randomly, we have 12 hours to decide if we want to pay 50k more to beat others away” and then lose anyway after bidding to Blackrock who pays 100k over asking.


  • It’s always so weird because it’s not like you can go to your primary doctor and say “I want X drug” right? Like, if there was a reason to give you a drug for something the doctor would have prescribed it. Also not ask you how you felt about them, just that here is X drug for your Y problem. If that doesn’t work we try Z.

    Or do people actually swap doctors over and over for months until they get one who says “ok dude”?

    If Republicans demonize democrats and project their own crimes for half a century without facts then it’s honestly time to stop crying wolf and do some things that they’re getting accused of. Why does a red name get a pass? If it isn’t both sides but everyone thinks it is anyway then there is no reason to not do bad stuff. Trump has proven that you will get rewarded for being the worst human possible and more. He is apparently the ideal American so to not lie cheat and steal is un-American. If Biden helps his son once in the face of 30+ terrible felonies president trump did himself, not including his cronies, then so be it. I really hope Biden breaks everyone’s brain about pardons because it will bring every other scummy pardon into question too from other presidents.

    I can’t stand this “not a good look” talk when democrats have to basically be squeaky cleak that they can’t even own a peanut farm or swear and yet 10 years into the “grab them by the pussy” guy who makes fun of disabled people, women, calls everyone names including his own party… Nobody bats an eyelash. I don’t care if Joe Biden lied for his son at this point, Donald pardoned and will continue to pardon dozens of family and staff and insurrectionists. It’s ok for Trump to lie about not knowing project 2025 and then immediately hire everyone involved with it days later… But Biden can’t lie once. Got it.




  • Elon also is heading the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE)… I bet they will substitute crypto for cash and pump/dump the nation. Honest opinion? Buy doge coin and bitcoin because inflation will skyrocket if Trump gets to print dollars and slap 100% tarrifs on food and Chinese imports (aka all products you buy). People will park their money in transient currencies and hard assets like houses and watch trump lower interest rates to refinance his real estate and his buddies too. Refinance your home, borrow cash and buy crypto, ride that wave before it burns down.
