  • I have enough in my emergency fund that if I lost my job I’d be ok for about a year.

    I’m nearly to my goal, after that I’m going to change my focus to expanding my portfolio.

    Still no way I can buy a house though. Need to make about 3x more money for that to happen.

    I credit it to having a property owner that’s kept rent cheap and having low overhead, and being frugal borderline cheap.




  • Unless the driver wasn’t insured properly, Taxis cover your bodily injuries in an accident. They should have no medical bills associated with it, and the article is kinda vague on that. If anything they should be taking this up with the insurance company. Unless the driver wasn’t insured properly, and Uber didn’t do their diligence then yeah it’s on Uber.

    This seems like these people are trying to sue for more than that though?

    Do i believe that Uber is being shady trying to pull some garbage about a separate TOS, yeah that’s shady. They should take it to the next level of appellate courts, which I believe would be the Supreme Court now.

    Though this isn’t apples to apples of the Disney thing.











  • Maybe in large encampments but from my daily experience of watching a never ending battle from the police and a homeless spot they typically don’t do that. They just tell them to leave, but they just come back eventually.

    Everyday I walk by a spot where homeless congregate. At the beginning of the week there a few rambling around. By EOW there are 30 just sleeping coming down from their high or smoking meth. The cops come, tell them to leave, then it starts all over again.

    They aren’t exactly bothering anybody other than the smell and that the city has to power wash the parking structure on a weekly basis because they all piss and shit in it.

    Look I care for these people, I’m not trying to sound all NIMBY here, but these are the type of people who don’t want help. They want to stay in their hole. The only assistance you can give these people other than abducting them and put them in a facility, is to tell them to leave and go to a shelter. Addiction is a mother fucker, and the only disease you can get yelled at for.





  • I agree. I typically skip sex scenes in movies. Those scenes very seldom add anything to the story imo.

    Unless it makes sense. In “What Women Want” with Mel Gibson, I believe that is a great example of a sex scene adding to the movie. The whole premise is him reading women’s minds, so him having sex with Marisa Tomei and hearing their thoughts while in the act added to the premise.

    So when I see a movie that is just like “hey these people are hot and we should film them go at it” is just boring imo.
