@NineCato I’ve read enough to see that this guy is a rage bait prick. Nobody can be that stupid. He’s just trying to get numbers up and get paid.

Seeing a lot of post from youngsters complaining about property tax relief and “benefit” payments for “boomers.” First off, you’re really bitching about Gen X, not boomers. The real Biomers have been retired since you were in diapers. Second, I’ve paid property tax, most of which is for schools, for 30 years now. My wife and I have no children. So who subsidized who there? And third, yall want to not pay for my “benefits?” Fine. I went to SSA dot gov and got my earning record since 1985. Had I invested my FICA and Medicare tax in a simple index fund at the end of each year, I’d have $1,340,873. I will take that in cash please. Then yall can end my “benefit” payment.

Men need to be much much more selective when getting married.
Or you end up here.

I've never seen a father so defeated. He's likely digging his own grave.

@Mathew_Winters1 I need to get better at that. I’ve kept aggressive roosters around far too long hoping they’d change.
English
When I was newer to farming and homesteading (technically the government says I have about 7 more years as a beginner) - we had one rooster - Bruce.
Bruce was nasty - just a mean animal. I remember two instances distinctly.
1.) A blood curdling, animalistic scream came from my then about six or seven year old daughter as he cornered her coming down the porch stairs. Just wouldn’t leave her alone - no injuries, but absolutely despicable behavior.
2.) I was on the phone walking around a clothesline and this same rooster came at me, unprovoked, and cut open the back of my pants on my leg.
He isn’t around anymore. Didn’t even want to eat him. It was a learning lesson and now we have zero tolerance for aggressive rooster behavior. I don’t even hesitate except to be mindful of company. We can’t have aggressive animals around, especially with more and more farm visitors.

so Maximus the rooster met his fate today. he charged and attacked Madison in the open yard, completely unprovoked. This isn’t the first time, he hasn’t been all too nice, but this was quite violent. captured him and took him into the back woods. dinner tomorrow night.
English
Because it’s mine. I worked for it. I paid for it. I maintained it. And for 30+ years I paid taxes on it included taxes for school to educate children I never had. If it’s gone up in value it’s because I chose my location wisely and made valuable improvements. My retirement income doesn’t increase just because the value of my home does. I’ll be damned if I agree that anyone who’s spent a lifetime being taxed, should be taxed out of their home.

Genuinely though, why can’t seniors downsize. If they’re living in like a 3-4 bedroom house… why
Ashley Schendel@ashleyschendel
Seniors should not be priced out of a house they already paid for because the area around them got more expensive. They didn’t suddenly get richer because Zillow says the house is worth more. Most of them are living on fixed income, paying higher insurance, higher utilities, higher groceries, and then the tax bill shows up like they somehow got a raise. People can argue all day about how to fund schools and services, and that part does matter. But making older homeowners keep rebuying the same house every year through property taxes is exactly why so many people feel like ownership is never really ownership.

Cornyn is officially cooked. If he wanted to keep his job, he shouldn’t have spent his decades in the Senate pushing for amnesty and gun control. Good riddance.

@CyborgPeds I remind mine of stuff like that and she’s just like, “ I don’t remember that. I think you’re just making shit up.”

Hahaha I just reminder her of it: “Omfg it was a five star hotel what the fuck? I still can’t believe the Waldorf Estoria didn’t turn the goddamn ac on!”

The Heiress and I once visited France during an historic heat wave. We’ve been through Chicago heat waves of similar intensity. Difference is in Chicago everyone was inside. In Paris, everyone was outside.

@BuyPullbacks Thank you Doug. I hate foxes. They always kill as many as they can at once. Louie was the best rooster we’ve ever had. We will miss him terribly.
English
@bsromine I'm so sorry for your loss, man. Losing a favorite like Louie hits different—especially when you’re holding him at the end. Foxes are ruthless with surplus killing; it feels so unfair. Hang in there.
English
I am hurting tonight. And my wife is destroyed tonight. Our favorite rooster, a little bantam named Louie, was killed this evening by a fox. She got inside our fenced in back yard. Killed two hens and Louie. He was small but he tried to protect the hens. I held him while he died.
I hate foxes. They kill more than they need. They always take the favorites.
I’m at war now. And I will not negotiate. I will not forgive. I will not forget.

Detroit doctor Lincoln Erickson pleads guilty to child p**n charges
He allegedly sent messages including “I love being a pedo” and fantasized about having a baby with another man who they could “f**k and groom.”

@data168 A decent sized portfolio with 10% allocated to leaps in a ticker that shows a setup on a weekly chart will make a year. And if it doesn’t, it won’t break you.
English
How? It could be the best directional market ahead. It is a trading environment very desirable for options traders, who could achieve stellar performance any commons or futures traders dare to dream of. It doesn't mean you go all-in on 0DTE or weeklies. Still have to focus on set-ups, R/R and stocks with more upside potential. You have to be aware of the potential of such trading environment but trading it successful requires the usual discipline.
I still remember I lost dearly during Q1 2019 when I got macro right (QT to QE) but went overly aggressive. It was my best lesson in a while.

@data168 How
English
@bsromine Yeah true. That’s another “what if” about Gettysburg. If Stuart didn’t just Lee blind. But yeah having Forrest would’ve been another level
English
Stonewall Jackson's Shenandoah Valley campaign was legendary: 17,000 men, 48 days, 5 battles, outmaneuvering 3 Union armies. His daring flank march at Chancellorsville and subsequent accidental death were devastating losses for the Confederacy.
English
And don’t discount the impact of Forrest commanding the cavalry instead of Stuart …. Had already not been blind and had Jackson there to push the offensive at the beginning ………. I think Jackson and Forrest would have turned it.
But of course Forrest was never going to be there and Jackson was destined for his glory.
English
I agree with a lot of what you just said. Agree about Jackson. I definitely think Lee was going for the knockout blow at Gettysburg and if they had won the north might’ve settle. I never considered what you said about reuniting. That’s interesting. Yeah I think the slavery would’ve winded down not too long afterwards.
English
There was no need for it to continue much longer. The industrial age would have shepherded it out. And even the sentiment of many in the southern states was that it was a wrong to eventually be righted. I just see no way that the institution of slavery continued into modern society.
It certainly would have thrown a kink into Lyndon Johnson’s great society lol
English
I think they might have won. My theory has always been, had they won there the north would have sued for peace. Lincoln would not have been re-elected. England would recognize the Confederacy. The world would have carried on. Slavery would have ended a natural death and the combined US/CSA would have eventually re-united as the world superpower. But states rights and not federal dominance would have prevailed.
We shall never know.
English
@bsromine I think about that a lot. At the very least they would’ve had a much better chance at winning.
