    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    I have eventually stopped using every cleaning service I've ever hired because they simply didn't do a good job. It's actually really hard to find a good cleaner. When I was remodeling my first floor apartment I had a cleaner come in to scrub everything down after the work was done. Everything...

    In the USA it's more like, get appproved for X, found something for 1.25 X that's the "perfect dream home", either just be given the financing anyway or be told about this wonderful, and totally not shady thing called an 80/20 mortgage.

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    You have to understand, when you only have one women not doing anything it's your fault and you have to make sure you keep dating her to keep her happy. But you can't date 2 women. Well... not normally anyway and definitely not when they live in the same house!

    You're also gonna have to spend money on "play dates" or "outdoor time" or some other bullshit for the scheduled cleaning times. Because there is no way those two women are gonna sit in the house while someone else is cleaning it. Well maybe they will, if they are completely shameless. "Okay...

    I'm not talking about variable interest rates. Come to America where you can get a fixed rate 30 year mortgage for ~4% and see if you understand what that actually means for your payments. When you walk into a bank in France and get a 200k loan at 25% you know exactly what you're getting...

    There was someone talking about the incredible state of lending in certain European countries in either this thread or the home buying thread recently. The terms seemed outrageous to me as an American. Does France amortize their mortgages? There are so many variables to mortgage lending in the...

    How old are you by the way? I'm 37, and I didn't buy my first house until after the crash (late 2008). So the people buying during the early 2000s are all older than me and weren't part of the generation you seem to be taking issue with. So how do you explain that?

    I am guessing you spend far too much time in threads like gamergate on this forum and think all colleges only offer bullshit degrees and the youth of today is stupid, entitled and doomed. Every generation thinks the generation following them will be the end of the world.

    Algebra is middle school math and your "College Algebra" is the same middle school math. Try to keep up. Colleges shouldn't even be accepting students that need a "College Algebra" course in their freshman year. It is literally the basis of math. x + 3 = 9. What's x?

    What 16 year old knows what they want to do, what they should do, and what the financial impact of that decision even means? Even if you try to educate them they aren't going to listen. People weren't taking ARM loans with the intent to refi or flip, they were being sold ARM loans as if they...

    Cleaning services (good ones) are the best. I can keep my house neat, but I hate the deep cleaning Kirun is talking about. Really scrubbing and moving shit to get the crap that falls between the cracks. Tidy doesn't mean clean. I have no problem staying tidy, but I want someone else to actually...

    This is a very reductive view of what caused the problem. Did some people fall into the trap of buying more than they could afford? Sure. But mortgage lending has been a predatory practice for many years now (still is) and many mortgage brokers will purposely try to make people lead with their...

    Sorry but I don't agree with any of this. And this line of thinking is what led people to make poor choices in the early 2000s leading into the housing market crash and ensuing recession. it ignores so many of the real factors associated with homeownership that renters never have to worry about...

    Witcher 3

    Is there any "free keybind" option or mod? This game was clearly designed for a controller since the keybind options are sorely lacking. You can't bind key combinations (shift + R for example) and you can't bind signs to specific keys. It makes playing with a M + KB feel worse than playing with...

    Well they technically did with the belters. That explanation of Alex's accent is sorely missing from the show. And it would not have taken much effort to try to portray it on screen. But in the show even Alex's wife and kid don't have the accent. That's one paragraph that makes it all make...

    The combat starts to feel better as you unlock skills and get used to the timings. It does feel sluggish compared to most games with similar combat styles though. It's a little slower (unless you go whirl/rend)

    No. Especially since a lot of travel destination towns/cities are starting to crack down on things like AirBnB and requiring a certain amount of either vacant, or owner occupied time. Or just flat out requiring minimum lease terms (usually no less than 6 months). While this may not be the case...

    The belters I kind of get. It was an amalgamation of accents like you're describing which makes sense because they have basically sectioned themselves even within the belt. But pretty much the only 2 martians with an accent were Alex (Southern American) and Bobbie (New Zealand).

    The Expanse

    The authors deciding that Martians have earthen, region specific accents hundreds of years after leaving earth is real fucking stupid. It detracts from the story. "No place is one place! Except every place has accents from one place... a place called earth! A place everyone but "earthers" hate!!!"

    It heightens the interrogators senses. They finally say that little bit about it I think in late season 3 or season 4.
