But like, what is the dollar impact of those assholes annually?

who gives a crap?
You'd think the media would!

This seems

A) small and
B) not new

Which is why I don't understand why it's the new anti-woke thing

i mean, these are in the news because in some states, it doesn't.  your house is vacant and some bad person breaks in, claims he has a lease and you're mumped.  it takes months to evict them.
But like, what is the dollar impact of those assholes annually? I imagine there are plenty of thefts with greater impact.
Do you think stealing a $500 item from someone’s bag at the gym should be treated similar to stealing a $500 from their bedroom?

I'm talking about total dollar impact, not impact per crime. I'm assuming squatting isn't terribly common and has a low dollar impact, unlike stealing from gym bags or bedrooms. But I'm not sure! Like I really only knew this was being discussed because of this thread and headlines about those Malibu squatters

is this a thing all of a sudden because of tiktok? I genuinely don't know how squatters rights entered the right wing discourse

105
Also, if Fat Ron is in favor of something, my gut says to be opposed to it. Even if it seems good on the surface there's more than likely something sinister in the details

guys he's GE'ing, he doesn't ACTUALLY think that

partially GE'ing but squatting is the spirit of taxing/robbing the rich that I can get behind. I mean I'd prefer we tax appropriately and guarantee housing for everyone but squatting in an empty mansion seems like a decent alternative in the meantime

107
personally, I am on team squatter

I cannot think of a single reason someone would be on this side other than the squatter themselves

victimless crime

also it's kinda fun to stir the pot sometimes

I never saw a FSBO in the Bay Area

Don't know why when you guys make it seem so easy (for real)

it's like a dramatically more vile evolution of the simpsons meme



not babylon bee-related, but similar vibe

I learned something new today. Anti-semites are some of the biggest weirdos out there.

Holy crap the replies to this gah

I would like to think that he might rethink what he's been doing with Babylon Bee based on how people are responding to this but probably not.

You guys will be back. Twitter and I will still take you back.

key is to find the kids with the parents that are fun to be around, and essentially make your kids be friends with their kids.  basically instead of a kid play date (hated typing that) you organize an adult hang out, and the kids naturally get to play with each other.
^bingo. trouble is all my friends that meet that criteria either don't have kids, or their kids are nowhere close to mine's age, or they live like a thousand miles away. sure i (a middle aged man) could go actively seeking out new friends but what am i some kind of psychopath?

no you start with the kids and do trial play dates. I went through this in California - our first attempts at family friendships started with some awful people but ended with two families on our street that we just met in Mexico for vacation. They are all lifetime friends.

I'd really like to hear Doug and Mary's side of the story.
this blog is beneath them

I feel like you have a lot of pet peeves with this particular family and should elaborate.

I've been told that everything is perfectly fine with the fundamentals of Gaza governance and it's just that pesky Hamas who keeps mucking it up for everyone.:

Who told you that

I believe it was KK when I brought up the notion of Gaza governance allowing Hamas to build a stronghold and grow.
Not sure the context of this but Israel might be a factor too!!!!

I will vote for Biden but I really don't like what Israel is doing to Gaza (and our enabling of it)

Not gE'ing here, the amount of Nazi blue checks that have crawled out of the woodwork on Twitter since Elon took over is really something. It feels like every post there gets a response either from a porn bot or a nazi. Really makes it hard to follow conversations.
Replies are unreadable with these clowns at the top every time

LMAO I thought it was an unfunny lib who faked that

Rusty's focus on the gluten free part of this story is my favorite.

the focus is on accommodating his wife! (My GF wife would not let this fly and I seriously think it is more aggregious by the hosts and BAC)

Second, regarding them not making accommodations, it was honestly fine. My wife is very used to it. There are so few places that she feels safe to eat at, and of those Im not sure if any of them deliver, but ultimately we were not planning to stay for dinner in the first place, it was just supposed to be a chill hang that ran long bc the kids were having fun, and ordering pizza was very much a fitting choice.

How on earth do you not know if there are any celiac friendly places that deliver? I'm assuming this other family lives in your neighborhood or at least delivery range?
