  1. Certainly a plausible speculation and everything else remained equal. But that doesn't happen. I can certainly see the property owner perspective though. The value of the community I live in is determined by the sum of the assessed value of the properties within. Our borrowing capacity is largely determined by that value. Non property owners are simply enjoying the benefits of that value. True though; they are paying rent on whatever contractual schedule was set and that is, in essence, paying for the property. What I am getting at though is that property owners title to that property is given by the government. No government, ownership is dissolved. Marriages, Contracts of all sorts, our motorcycles and cars... Everything is at the behess of ones government; and the extent to which other governments respect that. With no government we don't own anything... So ripping up the constitution, as 45 seems hell bent to do; means he gets to own everything and it is up to us to fight that within the social structure at that time. @BootmanLA where is your podcast??? 🙂 😉 😉
  2. Good the insurance companies are paying attention to roofs. Here in Wisconsin I was informed that the classis three tab singles popular 30 years ago are no longer insurable after this year. Setting an arbitrary deadline on roofs is insane. Obviously some are doing that, but roofs have measurable wear and thus physical metrics are a better way to go.
  3. Right now we're in the media storm. Lot's to settle out and the big summer R show starting tomorrow here in Wisconsin. Let's give it a week and then see how things appear....
  4. @ejaculaTe the operative words in your post being "In general". That doesn't mean charges can't be brought elsewhere...
  5. Actually I am glad I started paying attention to all the candidates from an early age. I started as a voter registrar and election judge in my early 30's; and could never side with any party as completely as I could with individuals. To me, parties are more like sports team names; and running a government isn't a sport. Or shouldn't be. There are a number of things to be done; not just the one the media goes on about. Some essential for the operation of our nation/state/county/municipality; some truly to advance society collectively. Unlike what used to be normal races; both candidates were capable to honoring our constitution; and advancing solutions MOST of us want, rather than just half. And I submit we get to half because we are rooting for our cause rather than ALL the causes. I know in local government we've been able to work out compromise which serves most. Joe is pretty good at compromise. But he is only six years older than I am; and I would prefer to see him mentor younger political people. The other thing in our current public discourse is to encourage Joe to step away rather than encourage Joe to prefer to endorse a slate where he can mentor (as he has Kamala) others. I'm not hearing of "the alternative slate"; and at this point in the race; clarity on Joe vs ??? is pretty essential to me. What I hope is happening is that behind the scenes the party is working on that slate so that, perhaps, AT the Dem convention Joe might start by stepping away; and put forth a slate. And then the delegates work on that vs ??? if they see fit. I would rather it happen then than in the media before then. (after all, isn't the convention purportedly where the party selects it slate?).
  6. I am retired, and love living in Wisconsin. Generally cooler temps (perhaps too cold for some but for me; 65 degrees is a perfect temp). We've abundant potable water here and having lake Michigan to the east tends to attenuate nasty storms. When I look around the nation from here; while perhaps on a blizzardy winter day those places appeal to me; we have less crappy natural events here than the majority of other places. So while a winter AZ visit (or NO, or the Island House in the keys) is a pleasurable warm up; I don't have to deal with the intense heat, fires, flooding elsewhere. That said, I discourage anyone from even thinking about relocating to Wisconsin...
  7. While I appreciated that President Biden gave a press conference on July 11, honestly it was painful to watch. I am hopeful that at the Dem convention Joe will step down and be ready with a whole slate so that coming out of the convention we can have a more organized Democratic party (recall please I dislike parties but they are what we have to work with).
  8. Yes that's been my POV as well, and mostly still is. But I could see the payoff being political. Get rid of the cooperative cop to gain access to a more corrupt one. Some of this absurd national BS is permeating local governments as well.
  9. If I feel like I need to educate, I'm going to.... If he doesn't like me after, so what?
  10. Of course, thanks. (slaps myself upside my head for not thinking of that... Too little coffee today???).
  11. Indeed, the trajectory towards authoritarian governments globally is on the upswing. Perhaps an understandable reaction to increasing strife and famine as climate change predictions of 20 years ago are manifest today. The warnings then really were "more extreme" weather, not necessarily warmer. While we see bad weather days throughout the 160 or so years we've been tracking weather facts. From my POV what I am experiencing now vs half a century ago are much larger storms, more frequent; and simultaneously. The classic fires and floods are more frequent and more severe. Many metrics are clearly on the upswing year over year now vs "every few years". Is our base human mentality to have a king who promises to take care of us as they know best?
  12. While more often than not the candidates I vote for in state and federal positions are Democrat more than Republican. For my county elections I've little choice but to vote for Republicans, so it comes down to "which one?". To the credit of those forming my village; parties are not allowed in our elections. My wish (and yes, I know unlikely) is that we could remove parties altogether. Ultimately we are voting for a person to do a job. And a focus on who that person is and what their pattern of decision making is would, ideally, be how we make our choices. (Even grade school Jim didn't understand why it mattered that John Kennedy was the "pretty one").
  13. I for one definitely appreciate @BootmanLA legal clarifications. TBH I don't give a rip about how this specific case plays out; it'll be what it turns out to be. Having navigated legal cases as both a defendant and a plaintiff; in particular as a defendant it was interesting to have enough background that I could observe with insight the finesse of both the Judge and my attorney. At a point I could observe the palpable change in the judge towards my side. I have sympathy for Austin Wolf. It can feel like a daunting task to build a defense. I have been curious about something for awhile; but don't really have the technical reach anymore to get good answers. But I am aware of a local case regarding a police officer and this sort of porn. I am wondering if there are cases of the Phishing Payload being porn instead of malware? Would it be that easy to insert compromising information onto any device on the web?
  14. Never was interested in fucking for cash. I did "hire" a pornstar once but really that was more to learn of that life than sex. For me a one time thing; I don't see myself seeking a repeat.
  15. A dick is a dick so cut or uncut, I'm happy to deepthroat it. But uncut, when we pay attention to how ultra sensitive the glans can be compared to cut guys, takes some finesse. I have a new preferred suck bud as I seem to be the one guy in our group that can do it in a way that he loves.... So guys what am I supposed to say when someone (rarely these days) utters "cocksucker!" as a supposedly hurtful epithet? I've taken to simply responding "YUP".
  16. First dicked sucked my USAF room mate in about 1970, cut, long and with a distinctive bend.
  17. To the extent we define compulsive behavior as addition; perhaps it is; but nothing like a full on chemical additiction.
  18. F U C K.....
  19. As I was one of the replying posters, for the record I wasn't mad. Not in the least. But facts are facts (or they should be). Cheating is by definition a violation of "rules". Rules one ostensibly already agreed to. So looking for rules about cheating makes absolutely no logical sense. But yeah rephrased "how can I cheat and get away with it?". Sure that makes sense. But the details aren't universally applicable. And the consequences are typically not avoidable, eventually. It is a heck of a lot easier to just rip the bandaid off and have that discussion with your mate that you want or need to fuck around; and discuss what if anything that means for the relationship. You may surprise yourself. One of the options is that your mate replies, "sure, and I can as well". Now if you find it uncomfortable as hell (as my previous made did in this exact situation); then really what are you trying to keep together in the first place? WRT Stealthing being celebrated here on BZ. Indeed some do but most of us don't condone it. Sure our society has always had some sort of snake oil salesman. Selling poison while calling it elixir. And stealthing is no different than that. When "getting away with it" becomes the more desirable outcome; it is perhaps time to revaluate things altogether. Living in a cooperative society calls upon us to be fair and honest. And when we aren't history has shown it never turns out well.
  20. Hmmm, is NOW the time the rest of us should start flying our flag UPSIDE DOWN?
  21. @aj99 I'm glad you can as well.
  22. There is a massive amount of tension world wide. I imagine hunger is part of it. Desire for more power. More likely hundreds of individually small things assembled together in these now dangerous times. Are we headed towards a US Civil war? Is it imminent? Are we headed towards World War? Is there anyway to instill a vision of human cooperation? Or are we so hell bent on telling everyone else what they must do that we lost our humanity?
  23. Nice. Thanks for posting this @tallslenderguy. Perhaps its my own antiquity; I think our social norms tend to put way more emphasis on the significance that exists. I am proud of these guys for giving it a go. Save for our plumbing there really isn't any difference. We're humans first and I think humanity would be better off if we come to terms with that.
  24. When I've seen that message I've already been ignored, and thus can't ignore someone who is already ignoring me (which does sound sorta like fukken high school doesn't it??? LOL).
  25. It does often seem that way. And oddly those doing about half of the social castigation/block of speech are from the tips of BOTH parties. Women might have it worse as they aren't allowed to make decisions about what happens inside their own bodies. That's fucked up... I submit that the Christians are anything but Christian. They've absconded with the name; but have become polar opposites of the namesake of that belief. Fellow white people.... Hold up a sheet of bright white copy paper next to your face in the mirror. Who the fuck can claim white anymore? Enough already. And guns... Ugh... A perverted second amendment. By intent it is for mutual protection; not aggression. Where to from here my brothers? Can we really just sit back and watch this continue????
