@DiggingInTheDi1 High IQ white people feel just as out of place. Most people are idiots, no matter the race.

I used to know a highly intelligent Black guy. As in genuinely intelligent, top of his class in grades, eventually became a millionaire in his 20's
He hated other Blacks. Loathed them. Had absolutely nothing in common with them. He was a modern day Uncle Ruckus, hating everything popular in Black communities
This is often the experience of minorities that are extreme IQ outliers, they can't even deny all the racist comments outsiders make about their co-ethnics

@Milajoy Your bio says you are a conservative. That is exactly what you've been voting for. The middle class get squeezed so the rich can get richer. That's been the goal of the Republican party since Reagan.
English
I’m DONE.
40 FUCKING YEARS of sweat.
Two degrees.
Busted my ass.
Raised good kids.
Paid every damn tax.
Obeyed every law.
Voted like they told me to.
And for what?
A system that laughs in our face.
Politicians who lie straight to our cameras.
Promises of “better days” that were just bait.
While THEY cash checks and WE get the bill.
We built this country.
We carried it on our backs.
We’re the suckers who still believe in “hard work pays off.”
Newsflash:
It doesn’t.
Not anymore.
Not for honest, humble, middle-class Americans.
We’re not “slaves” anymore.
We’re awake.
We’re pissed.
And we’re not shutting up.
Who else is fucking DONE being exploited?
Drop a 🔥 if you’re with me.
This ends now.

@jared_shult I mean all Christians believe Jesus is God, so it isn't a big stretch.
English
The fact that Mormons believe Jesus came to America is still mind boggling to me

@GrantSlatton It's the PE owned dental practices. Hard to find an independent practice any more.
English
insane that we tolerate living in a society where you can go see one dentist
and he's like "ya u have 13 cavities, will be $4000 to fix them all"
then see another and he's like "that guy was full of shit and trying to scam you, you're fine"

@OrenMarmorstein Been assassinating Iranian scientists for years. Started the current war bombing a bunch of little girls at school. And now crying that Iran hit back at your scientists working on your illegal nuclear weapons program.

Look at this.
This is in Israel today.
And this could be Rome, Berlin or Paris.

@PCreighton1 @Raindropsmedia1 I think the pay scale does go that high after about 20 years if you've completed a master's degree.
English
@Raindropsmedia1 I call bullshit
There are no kindergarten teachers making $90k a year in Texas.
Public school may pay $60k
Even top private schools aren’t paying kindergarten teachers $90k a year
Absolute bullshit
English
Texas teacher who gets paid $7,500 per month says she’s completely broke and in debt after her monthly expenses—which include her G-Wagon, condo, and more. 👀💔💰

@J99Chad I don't understand it but they seem very happy so I'll just be happy for them.

@TwistedFocus99 @MargoinWNC PLUS loans and Pell don't usually go together. Students receiving Pell will likely need a significant discount on tuition. Doubt there are many at HPU. And those loans will mostly be paid back.
English
@MargoinWNC For what it's worth, High Point University is the epitomy of why Education is so expensive. Every small school in America figured out they could charge max financial aid + plus + pell would cover & enrich themselves on the backs of tax payers with loan money never to be repaid
English
You should actually go to High Point University and spend a day. You'd understand why they can afford to do this.
Krysten Peek@krystenpeek
This High Point fan base is unreal and exactly what this tournament is about. The school is 2,800 miles from the Moda Center in Portland and 3 sections are full of students and fans.

@HessTruck14 @north0fnorth Wrong. I live in a northern city and love visiting Chicago.
English
@north0fnorth Still less delusional than thinking anyone’s dream get away is Detroit and or Chicago.
Nobody living in a northern city wants to go on vacation to another northern city.
English
if you sincerely believe chicago and detroit are the worst shitholes in america you’ve been watching too much conservative news and no i’m not joking whatsoever

Someone is selling a manor estate in Burgundy with a private river, waterfalls and a natural swimming pond. 2 hours from Paris.
Two buildings arranged around a courtyard, 1,700m² (18,298 sq ft) in total, 12 bedrooms, an artist's studio, stables and 7 hectares (17 acres) of land.
Inside there's a music room with a piano, a library in the tower, a writing room, and a dining room built around a fireplace large enough to roast a whole animal. Herons and wild ducks live on the property year round. The river has a depth of 3 metres and you can swim in it all summer.
Near Vézelay, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Asking price: €1.39M ($1.6M).
The French sure do know about living well. A river on your grounds, your own land to walk, swimming in summer, dinner outside.
What's the French word for this kind of life?
English
@RealJohnDennis @the_transit_guy Yes and these changes get that traffic out of some of the streets so people can actually enjoy living in their city.
English
@the_transit_guy Anyone who has lived in Paris can attest to the horrific traffic.
Closing roads only further immiserates Parisians.

@CPATaxTeam The FIRE people are way smarter. With only 60k income they will get more financial aid.
English
We’ll have both kids in college next year. It will be nearly $100k/year. We’re happy to be their supplemental scholarship to better their lives.
I can’t imagine a kid of a FIRE parent knowing mom and dad thought retiring on a $60k of annual expenses was sufficient and now can’t attend a school of their dreams because their parents didn’t want to work in their 40’s.
Life is about legacy and relationships.
English
@KurtSupeCPA He's lucky. Happens to a lot of people in their 50s.
English
Client was a VP at a large company.
62 years old. Was going to work until 65.
January: called into HR.
Severance package. Sign by Friday.
He called me that afternoon.
"I think I just got retired."
No transition. No goodbye lunch. No plan.
His whole identity was that job.
His social life was those people.
His purpose showed up every morning at 7:45am.
The money was fine. We figured out the money in two meetings.
The identity took a few years.
He told me recently: "The hardest part wasn't losing the job. It was realizing I'd built my whole life inside someone else's building."
Retirement that happens to you hits completely differently than retirement you choose.
Millions of people in their 60s are navigating this right now and nobody is talking about it.

It's sad to see former thriving towns in Middle America decay
No one wants to move here
Real estate is dirt cheap
So I bought up land and redeveloped one
Now we have hundreds of new citizens moving in, property values are rising again, and the residents have access to luxury amenities like a brand new Target
This is the template for what we're going to do all over the Midwest
English
@bankertobuilder Love that you stripped the top of the hill and removed all vegetation. Beautiful!
English
@saniyafatma1278 I would be thrilled if my neighbor built such a fence!
English
I seriously need some help here. My neighbor just put up this massive metal fence right along our property line and I’m honestly pretty upset about it. It completely changed the whole feel of my driveway and now it looks like I’m pulling into some kind of industrial corridor. I had no idea this was even happening until the thing was already built. It feels like my space just got boxed in overnight. What on earth can I do in a situation like this???
English
@nazzobetweeting If this was like $2000 it might be worth it to me, maybe even $2500, but over $3000 is crazy.
English
you don’t live in nyc to have a nice apartment, you sacrifice that for access to bars, restaurants, theaters, art, culture, diversity, economic opportunity, etc etc. it’s not for everyone. and that’s completely fine.

🚨 SHE HAPPILY PAYS $3,175 A MONTH FOR A 350 SQ FT APARTMENT IN NYC — AND CALLS IT A “DEAL” — WAIT UNTIL YOU SEE INSIDE A woman just showed her NYC apartment… and you can basically see the entire place the second you walk in. Only ONE real window. No washer or dryer. Barely any storage. They had to add their own kitchen island… build extra storage… and stack shoes wherever they fit just to make it livable. She says she uses artificial lighting just to make it feel brighter… and hauls laundry down the street every week. And somehow… this is considered a “deal.” She says renovated units in the same building go for over $4,000/month. The part that’s blowing people’s minds? She says she loves it… and doesn’t want to leave. At what point does “living in New York” stop being the dream… and start feeling like you’re paying luxury prices to live in a box?

@bankertobuilder I'm not a fan of 60s carpet colors or the railings, but somehow the version on the right is just soooo much worse.

A modern twist on an old classic

What's stopping you from moving to a tertiary town in the midwest, buying this house and raising a family in it?
- Affordable
- Plenty of jobs
- 1hr from major metro (Cleveland)
- Safe neighborhood
- Good schools
English
@paleonormie Events like that happen multiple times each summer in every city across the Midwest.
English
how does "this still exists in [place you could never afford to live]" invalidate their grievances though
Colin@Colin_d_m
NYC looks like this every summer. The people posting this slop don’t see that because they live in suburban Dallas.
