The amount of idiocy demonstrated by the adults in that article is fucking mind-boggling.

One family moved to Russia with only $50K to their name, for their family of 5, and didn't research the public education requirements for their sons ahead of time.

It tracks that people this fucking stupid would have this level of hate for "non-traditional" relationships.

Unfortunately he is still alive. They talk about that misinformation campaign in the article.

I mean, I finally quit Hulu over this, and neither my husband or I had even watched Hulu in about a year at this point. I'd always kept the subscription going "just in case,". I was the only one paying and neither of us has any qualms about letting it go.

I can't believe that we're the only ones in this bracket of users.

Idk. When I went to Munich seemed like it was hella packed and everyone there was having a dope ass time, whether they were foreigners or not.

It felt like something even the locals got stoked for during the walk from the train to the entrance. This was Sept 2019, so idk how the comeback after covid feels.

PvZ is STILL my mobile game of choice for long flights when I dont want to pay for internet.

Ugh, pop on a podcast and boot PvZ up, and I legit dont even realize literal hours have passed.

I refer to my 2 dogs as "my children" all the time, to the point that when I'm calling them both in from outside, I throw open the door and shout "Children!" Or when they're being annoying, I'm like "Children, stop!"

So I would just have to shout the word "Children!" And they'd come to me.

Oof, glad I read this so we know what questions to ask/red flags to look out for if we ever do pull the trigger on purchasing a condo!

COA fees going from $110 to $930 is fucking wildly crazy work. Did they at least tell you WHY it shot up like that?

And its also crazy that special assessments cab be billed for that high per unit. We'd be fucked! I thought the point of paying COA fees each month was supposed to spread the cost of maintenance around/ensure there are savings in the bank to cover major repairs!

I'm also that coworker. Bought a 1995 build house in 2013, and sold it last year. Holy cost of maintenance. Roof, foundation, HVAC, plumbing, gutters, siding. We upgraded the windows too, so that was a choice, but nothing else was. Didn't have money for professional interior upgrades because we were maintaining the structure itself instead.

If I ever buy a house ever again, it will be a condo so I'm only responsible for the INSIDE. As of right now, after all that, I'm happy renting. I'm so disinterested with painting and whatnot, that it doesn't bug me to have white walls.

I do agree that the pet situation sucks though. We have 2 "aggressive breeds" that were strays we picked up off the street years ago (2016 and 2020), a Pit mix and a Dobie mix. Finding someone to rent to us with those was a chore. And for the few years we rented out our home (military. Lived in it while we were stationed there, rented it out for a few years, moved back in when we returned to the same duty station), we didn't have a breed restriction.

We're about to move across the country again, and I'm STOKED to be moving into an apartment. Rn we're renting a SFH and it has been so nice knowing that money we had saved up isnt about to disappear because the water heater broke or whatever.

This was my first thought as soon as I read the question.

Awwww yes! I love excuses to show off my Kona-Baby! Thank you!!

We had a Shiba Inu-mutt named Konoha (rip girlie!) that legit looked like a smaller coyote. This could actually be a larger version of her.

Made me smile!
