@MrPanzin @TheCAThomas @BellaBaddie__ yes, quite feudal in practice

@lostodds @TheCAThomas @BellaBaddie__ All taxes are "rents" to the state. And real property is exclusively a construct by the state.

Can someone explain, like I’m 10, why buying a house is worth it if you still have to pay property taxes after the mortgage is paid off?

@JackTors11245 @BellaBaddie__ in what ways?

@lostodds @BellaBaddie__ Libertarians are idiots.

@TheGoatsMaster @TheCAThomas @BellaBaddie__ correct, you have to pay property taxes no matter what, which is the point.

@lostodds @TheCAThomas @BellaBaddie__ So there is 0 relationship between a mortgage and real estate tax.

@TwittaUser22 @TheCAThomas @BellaBaddie__ i at least have the option of paying off my mortgage. i don't have the option of getting out from under the property taxes. i can't tell the county "hey i don't want fire or police service, i'm fine on my own, don't tax me." it's not an option.

@lostodds @TheCAThomas @BellaBaddie__ So literally you just feel better about it. Not sure why you denied that. That’s what this boils down to.

@CanRich11 @TheCAThomas @BellaBaddie__ it's not. literally, it's not. the county is the county, the municipality is the city.

@lostodds @TheCAThomas @BellaBaddie__ Same fuckin thing

@TwittaUser22 @TheCAThomas @BellaBaddie__ ??? i don't feel good about paying property taxes even if i have a mortgage lmfao

@CanRich11 @TheCAThomas @BellaBaddie__ in the US it's the county

@lostodds @TheCAThomas @BellaBaddie__ Ot the state. The municipality

@TwittaUser22 @TheCAThomas @BellaBaddie__ it's psychological: it's less visible when the property tax is part of the larger escrow. when you no longer have to pay a mortgage it becomes more obvious that you don't *really* own your property, it's still owned by the state.

@lostodds @TheCAThomas @BellaBaddie__ Then why would the complaint about property taxes only be discussed in relation to a mortgage?

@NugaonX wait wait wait i'm confused... Caleb talks a lot about how all his guests agree to the things they air, he mentions in podcasts that there's a lot of stuff that gets left out at guests' requests and yet THIS stays in??? i don't get it

PREDATOR EXPOSED IN A FINANCIAL AUDIT 💀!!! Caleb Hammer says that it is completely inappropriate to perform sexual acts in the living room while a child is in the house, regardless of whether it was intended to be seen. Caleb Hammer: How do you get off on that unless you're a... No, because the way she... Woman: Because we had issues in the past with... issues. That we had already resolved, but then he kept... Caleb Hammer: In what? In what? No, no, no. Context, please. What issues would lead to that insinuation? Woman: My little sister spent the night one time, um, and he stayed in the living room and she walked out to go grab a drink and he was on the couch doing very inappropriate things. Proceeded to lie to me and my mom about it when she wanted to go home, and so then he tied me saying it was weird into the past experience. Caleb hammer : How old is she? Woman: At the time, she was like seven. Caleb: [Groans and ducks under the desk] Guys, what the f... No, no, no, no, no. Seven-year-old in the house? Why are you in the living room getting off? No, no, no, you don't do... No. First of all, I just got to note that literally nobody knew this, by the way. But, um... if a kid is in the house, we don't set up sexual exposures unless there's like a... intent to be caught in some way. Man: No, she... that must be... Caleb: No, no, no, no, no. Nobody sets out in the living room. Man: No, I was sleeping in the living room. They were sleeping in the bedroom. Caleb: Oh, you still go to the bathroom. As a masturbated myself, I know... Woman: And that's why I said it was one night, like, she was spending the night one night. Even if... Caleb: And what was he caught doing, specifically? Woman: Jacking off.

@TheDoomDominion @business they could start by making real Doom games again

I’ve reported a few times on Wolfenstein 3 and the Wolfenstein TV show Both are safe from today’s changes and layoffs at Xbox/Bethesda As I’ve reported Xbox wants to double down on MORE Doom, Quake and Wolfenstein Source: @business

@TheCAThomas @BellaBaddie__ nobody said anything about feeling better about it lmfao

@lostodds @BellaBaddie__ Oh. So this is just a thing where you feel better about paying the state when your mortgage company sets up an escrow account than you do when you write the check yourself.

@SanguinisI lol Space Marine 2, lmao "character development", lol. SM2 had one of the weakest campaigns i've ever played in a video game. the Guard officer in the first game had better "character development" than literally anyone in SM2.

Unpopular opinion : Valorem Gadriel Best SM2 character & best character development His behavior and doubts throughout the story are perfectly justified in light of Titus's attitude

@TheCAThomas @BellaBaddie__ even once you've paid off your mortgage and "own" your home you still have to pay property taxes or it gets taken away from you, making one wonder if you ever actually own it since you're effectively paying rent to the state.

@BellaBaddie__ Can someone explain to me, like I'm 10, what property taxes have to do with having a mortgage?

@nixcraft "said it openly"? as if there are people who thought it was anything other than that??

Tech layoffs are a failure of leadership. There, I said it openly.

Always be prepared

@WallStreetApes i haven't watched this episode so i don't know buddy's financial situation but if he's on Caleb's show it's cuz he's in tons of debt despite bringing in over $8k/month with half of it tax free?? that's gotta be some top tier financial retardation

Man says he’s retired military, his VA is $4,646 per month. He gets this for being “disabled” Even though he’s “disabled” and gets paid $4,646 per month tax free, he also works doing roofing and makes $1,000 per week How does a disabled person work on roofs…. The system is broken I’ve verified this is allowed and legal, there is no work restriction or income limit for him to get his money And technically he can be on disability for something like PTSD which would mean he can do physically demanding work like working on rooftops This is very different from other programs like social security where if your are disabled you can’t earn other income like this

lmfao what even is the point???

Krita, tho ostensibly focused on digital painting, is a much better general purpose image editor than GIMP and it's not even close

@miniature567 "thousand sons fans" lmfao

“Magnus did nothing wrong” is the biggest lie in Warhammer history… and somehow Thousand Sons fans still defend it like scripture.
