But Class War [Illinois]

I read somewhere they were working on dos3 and put it on hold when bg3 came up. If they go back and work on the dos series I’ll be there for it!

The president has been dogged by pro-Palestinian protesters at his public events for months, with his team now taking steps to shield him from the public shaming over his handling of the Israel-Hamas war. Biden has had to switch to smaller events, the locations of which are kept hushed until the last possible moment to evade protesters

Love to see the direct addition but JFC Biden will do anything to avoid ending aid to genocide and anything to avoid representing voters’ stances. “Oh while trying to secure the election I’ll just have smaller unannounced rallies instead of pulling my head out of my ass”

gotta make the water hard too, doesn’t work without hard water

Florida is going to be so pissed at TST for getting all this PR and fund raising while adding to their impressive list of accomplishments listed below:

0% interest would have been better but the banks that process/hold the government guaranteed loans would no longer profit so they aren’t going to let that happen.

City officials said they will continue to monitor the situation.

Great, that’s helpful. /s

Israel does fund hamas though, so they’re kinda dealing with them in a different way

That was one of my favorite features of the Nexus one. Didn’t really need the track ball but being able to customize the color of notification light (I forget if that needed root or not) based on app was great. I’m guessing it must have been persistent blinking otherwise my current edge lighting notification would scratch the same itch, couldn’t be just nostalgia on my part…

Thanks for the link! Incredible

I’m going to need some reminding

Yay more ragebait from Washington Post editorial/opinion pieces!

I feel that, like if a lib had posted this then they’d have been sincere about it but it was you posting it so we all know what’s up

That’s an actual liberal stance I see thrown around way too often so without a /s or some other explicit commentary I can understand why the post would be taken at face value or without assuming there’s an implied sentiment.

I really need to watch the sequels, if they’re anything like the original it’ll be worth it to me.

That’s an assumption. 1 these aren’t all houses, some of these are small rooms. Looking the place up I’ve actually been there, some folks end up there for PT or hospice and I can tell you the place aint swank. 2 They could afford the 1.3K monthly fee they expected, sheeeet that’s about what I was paying for a one bedroom in the city in not a particularly great area and I didnt have the assisted living aspect that River Glen provides which I assume is the biggest cost. it’s not a surprise that they couldn’t handle it going up to $6K a month. can you handle your rent going up 300%? Also you gotta keep in mind these are olds. They probably bought their house back forever ago and with housing prices here, and from what it sounds like damn near everywhere, the value of their houses have just been going up like crazy. That doesn’t necessarily mean they have money, they probably sold their house or whatever and that’s how they managed to get that hefty down payment.

In the end in both scenarios they sunk what they had into a thing that was supposed to last them to the end, the didn’t have much left after that and now the terms of the agreement have changed and they can only pray the terms of the agreement don’t change further. I get not wanting to side with perceived rich people and prices vary by region. you can feel different about that if you want but they aint all that different of situations

Same area, st Charles and Elgin are one town apart. It’s been a while since I checked but I think $100k-200k would be the average house price in the area. I’m a little closer to the city than those burbs and tiny foreclosures that aren’t even up to code can be 200k.

So yeah that might be rich compared to some areas but for this area it’s not but all surprising.

This news are actually quite similar. You’ll find in both people investing heavily, most of their retirement savings, to establish themselves and then the management company or property owner jacking up the rent to the point where people can no longer live there and have to abandon their investment/retirement fund. Not too complicated of a comparison really.

Sam Zell was doing the same shit in the '00s (and still is) and even in the same area https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/ct-xpm-2007-05-27-0705260052-story.html this one ended up with my grandmother losing her retirement plans she financing.

There’s always scams and they often target those most vulnerable who can’t fight back. You’d think there should be some protections or safety nets but gods of capitalism require blood sacrifices

Was is ever not completely under capitalism? As far as I’ve seen they were always fully going with hype over substance posturing

Wait wait wait, are you trying to say that a character whose first big episode s1e4 saw them, as the head of security, get kidnapped for a forced marriage and had a character background of [checks notes] planet of rape gangs wasn’t enough of a character?

Early TNG wasn’t great, not surprising Denise Crosby asked to be released from her contract early. Fully agree they did her dirty with that death story but glad they still brought her back a few times
