Well they can, but they're probably never gonna get much further than that. Reality for boomers was you could do exactly that sort of thing, out of high school, in a huge swath of manufacturing jobs, and then work your way up over the course of 40 years, while contributing to a pension. You...

Millenials grew up, professionally, during a very strange time in this country. I am technically a Millenial, at 41, and I assume a large portion of this forum are also Millenials. We had literally the dumbest crop of parents ever produced because the job loyalty, pensioner American Dream...

The younger generations know more about debt than any generation preceding them. Especially more than their parents, who sent them off to get any degree being offered at outrageous University prices. They get taught about debt bud, just not in a productive, parental way.

Tsukimichi finally heating up as well. Pig secretary going full bad ass.

Nope, that experience got replaced by parents from our generation (kids of boomers) realizing shit really ain't all American Dream, and raising jaded children. It's hilarious that people on this forum, acting the way they act and saying the things they say in the depths of the internet, are...

You gotta love stories where the protagonist is just an unmitigated psycho. Speaking of 7th prince of course.

I hope you can appreciate the reality, and irony, of this post combined with the previous discussion. And my debt averse, fiscal policy stance is far more documented on this forum than any relationship stance from years ago in a dead thread, for what it's worth. Anyway, to make sure it doesn't...

Sounds like some county jurisdictions aren't as unscrupulous as mine. Mine changed the rules from assessment every 10 years to every 5 years with curious timing... in 2022. So I got the new tax bill early!!! Hurrah! Wasn't 3x though. Did her property really go up 3x in that time? It's actually...

What are your thoughts on this "house hacking" @OU Ariakas ?

If you guys were neighbors comparing notes would be worthwhile. Otherwise....

If it's going to be a primary residence you can just take a loan from your 401k with no penalty can't you?

Were you also just informed of a tax appraisal valuing your home much higher than previously?

First, don't trust zillow for anything. In different areas people use different sites for apartment hunting more prevalently. Here, it's Facebook marketplace oddly enough. Find out what the bigger sites are for that in your area and use those to determine rent pricing. Second, consider worst...

Maybe they haven't "done deals" but I bet they've watched HGTV. That should be a joke but it isn't. It's not surprising a generation of people who grew up being sold the concept of starter homes and the "value add" of granite countertops and then lived through 2008 doesn't have an "American...

Bud, I wasn't talking about my own personal belief. I was talking about why a lot of people from younger generations feel the way they do about buying a house.

All of that isn't terribly realistic these days though. Job loyalty doesn't pay anymore, so to speak, and so people change jobs often just to get whatever money they feel they deserve and in a reality like that homeownership can kind of feel like being handcuffed. Putting down roots is very...

Most poe leagues do seem to eventually go Core, albeit after some modifications to make it fit as something less game defining than the original mechanic.

Just make sure you very specifically spell out your components and ask them if they can bench test those components. I recently went through this and did take it to a shop, because like you, I didn't have spare compatible components to test with. Well after days of back and forth with them they...

My tenants are older than me and have 4 kids and I've been called to "fix" some pretty hilarious stuff. The best one was their dryer not working. They knocked the plug out of the outlet somehow and never even thought to check. Hilarious

What is or isn't smart doesn't really play into it for a lot of people. Whether it's logical or not the past ~20 years soured a lot of the younger generation on homeownership. I think a lot of younger people just don't really care to deal with it and there is a fair amount to deal with, in a...

No I slow cook them for like 6+ hours with various spices/veg/braising liquids depending on mood.

You're lucky. Choice ribeye is 19.99/lb here, which is fucking lol

That "actor" is the weirdest story ever. Wasnt he a contestant on bake off and then somehow became a (really fucking terrible) actor?

I prefer short ribs/oxtail/chuck etc to steak cuts but I can cook a steak with tasty results in minutes vs hours.

I've basically stopped buying beef except for Chuck roast. I don't know how these prices are maintaining like this, it's hard to imagine enough people are still willing to buy it but I guess they are ....

Yep ox tail is $13/lb here now too. A cows tail is the same price a Ribeye was ~3 years ago. Fuckin hell.

Lots of people don't care anymore and prefer not having to manage things themselves. Doordash and Grubhub thrive in spite of it costing like double the price of the actual food and being only 5 minutes away. Ya know? It's a generational thing.

Onyo salt

That's a story that is probably going to get more and more prevalent. Because, honestly, homeownership does kinda suck and owning a house isn't as "prestigious" as it used to be. When everyone is special, nobody is.

If you look at any high performing athlete, world class GOAT territory in any field of athletic performance they will all have highly specialized, rigorous dietary restrictions. And none of them, when compared, will be remotely similar. That's the point.

That's already been solved and it's been solved for a long, long time. Eat real, whole food. The end.

So you think it's possible to let people live their lives outside of a draconian setting and have those same people be honest about their lifestyles while also knowing how those lifestyles contribute to health and fitness so you can completely account for them in 100% total scientific factual...

No, the problem is all the other factors that contribute to just... living as a human. It's actually impossible. You would need to institute some psychotic, orwellian style study on a population big enough to be a country. It's impossible. It shouldn't even be a question. Oh some of our study...

It's impossible to isolate diet as a contributing factor. Literally impossible. Why do some lifelong smokers live into their 90s while others die horribly in their 40s? Everyone knows smoking is absolutely terrible for your health but why is their such a huge discrepancy? Eat actual food, live...

Round 2 isn't as fun as round 1. It's kind of depressing actually.

Nutritional "science" is about as flawed as it gets. Humans have survived across the globe in vastly different climates and ecosystems for centuries. Eating what they had access to. It's not like refrigeration was a usable technology for hundreds of years. Yet everyone thinks they've cracked the...

After trying to rewatch Seinfeld years later in tandem with having watched Curb Your Enthusiasm it's very clear Jerry Seinfeld was a lucky mother fucker who got surrounded by really funny people. The stand up portions of the old Seinfeld do not age well, the rest of the show is still great...

If we are being honest the most fucked up thing in anime will always be Nina Tucker in FMA. That's like Dear Zachary levels of "I wish I never saw this". The remake softened it by not letting the audience get to know the family as much before it happens but the original is fucking horrifying...

Even the "original" keto diet, Atkins, is built entirely around phasing out of ketosis and using it, initially, to create better eating habits which will naturally improve your health. The whole "losing your sweet tooth" aspect of it is entirely true. Most modern sweet drinks/foods will become...
