FlyingSquid , 28 minutes ago to news in A $1 million starter home is now the norm in more than 200 US cities

Oh, okay. Sure. If you want to live in the middle of the SFV and are okay with a 3-hour commute, it’s doable. I don’t think you realize how big L.A. is. It took me well over an hour to get from NoHo, which is in the SFV, to the guy I bought weed from in Canoga Park, which is next to Winnetka. But sure. Go out far enough and the homes get marginally cheaper.

Although in this case, even the BBC announcers were pretty awful. I started with the CBC via my VPN and switched to the UK after the white CBC lady started doing “Caribbean” accents when those countries floated by. It was better, but still pretty bad. I wish there would be a way to just watch it without anyone announcing anything. Just give me subtitles for the French public announcements at the ceremony.

Beverly Hills is literally a city. It is autonomous from the Los Angeles city government. It has its own government and its own laws.

And do please show me where the L.A. homes under $400k are. There weren’t L.A. homes that cheap outside of Watts when we lived there over a decade ago and I’m not even sure about Watts.

Corporations are buying up these houses faster than individuals and are pricing everyone out of the market. Then they offer them as rentals.

Not to be morbid, but that’s what got Johnson elected the next year, so…

FlyingSquid , 1 hour ago to news in US government says TikTok poses threat to national security

TikTok is not even available in China

I think that’s the biggest thing here that defenders of TikTok need to understand. The Chinese think it’s worth the West having but not worth them having it. What should that tell people about their purposes?

Where did you get any indication from what I said that I thought it was okay? I’m talking about why people aren’t more concerned about it like they should be.

Trump is pretty famous for putting ketchup on his steaks like some people use A-1.

Just twisting that knife in the wound. I love it.

FlyingSquid , 2 hours ago to news in Trump warns Netanyahu of ‘third world war’ if he loses US election

I’m pretty sure that WWIII didn’t then follow that event, which is the point. Trump has been consistently saying a nuclear war will happen if you don’t elect him since 2016.

FlyingSquid , 2 hours ago to news in Trump warns Netanyahu of ‘third world war’ if he loses US election

Yeah, this World War III thing is an old one from him.

FlyingSquid , 2 hours ago to news in Trump Cryptically Declares, ‘You Won’t Have to Vote Anymore’ If He Wins Second Term

Yes. He wants to be a dictator on day one and then the rest of the days after that too.

There’s another angle to the dictator thing-

A lot of people essentially think the president already is a dictator. That’s why even people on the left say things like, “why doesn’t Biden raise the minimum wage?!” when that requires an act of congress.

I’m sorry, did I insult a fan of ketchup on a steak?

I’m glad I read such posts all the way through, because I was getting the banhammer ready for this one. Unfortunately, a lot of other people apparently didn’t read to the end.
