Yes. You shouldn't be allowed to have a second house to rent out. The problem is limited supply in a given area, and if everyone buys a second, third, fourth house (or townhouse) then there is no supply left for people that want to actually buy to live in that house. Frankly I think it's unethical. There are plenty of other ways to invest your money.

I also don't think this position is limited to leftists, although yes the leftists here have a very dramatic take. I think anyone that thinks about this should see the problem.

Has anybody ever seen the movie “Gangs of New York?” That’s what I’m talking about. We know that when you have these massive ethnic enclaves forming in our country, it can sometimes lead to higher crime rates. .... things like what we’ve done over the last few years, which is have 20-25 million illegal aliens just setting up shop here with no control, no enforcement, and no real ability to police what’s going on. That is a disaster.

Worth reading the whole quote, the article goes right to it.

I wish I followed this advice earlier. The way I've heard it was: "When someone tells you who they are, believe them."

This only makes sense when I realize that to conservatives, it's an identity. They think it's an identity that Taylor Swift should have because she's (presumably) white, popular, rich, good looking, Midwestern, Christian, etc.

To them politics is not about ideas, or policies, or problem solving, or good governance. It's all about identity.

I remember when I realized tipping is insane (like 15 years ago at a bar). One of my friends was talking the waitress up and she was complaining about another table and the tip she expected. Some quick math worked out to she expected 40%.

Fyi: it's called post secondary because, I think, UK calls it primary, secondary, and after that is post secondary.

Bought some vitamin D drops (liposomal) that say to take under the tongue. Now it's surprisingly hard to actually do that. So how much am I missing out if it's in the general mouth or on top of the tongue?

(I might try doing it in front of the mirror.)

I would get it for the warmth, not the appendage measuring contest.

*After thinking about it, it's shocking how many people here think the only value of a product is the brand and not the actual product.

Tires are supposed to age out after 5 years or so. My spare tire is over 10. Does it need to be replaced?

polystyrene balls are "highly toxic" to marine life and other animals, with particular concern held for turtles just days into nesting season.

"It resembles fish eggs, and it's very easily ingested by turtles," Alison told Yahoo News Australia on Sunday.

Does this include giving them old equipment which they'd have to dispose of anyway? Because that's not exactly "spending". Some even say that it saves money because they have no disposal cost.

How I met your mother. They saw a cash cow and milked it.
