These guys have gotten so persistent. they won’t go away with any kind of pleasant no thanks. I’m not interested. I’m done talking or any of that kind of stuff now. This dude didn’t budge until I told him to fuck off, at which point he finally proceeded to start walking away, still giving his sales pitch as he walked away.

Here's a nutty idea I had today. Greenland could create a program to grant citizenship to any Latin American, non-US citizen, who has been living in the US for over 5/10 years.

Their applications can stay pending until some triggers are reached. Such as US Troops attack/invade Greenland. Or enact a law that voids any sale to the US unless the pending citizen applications have been naturalized.

The point being, in order for Trump to acquire Greenland, he has to make these people he's trying to get rid of citizens. A "poison pill". I'm sure this idea has more holes than Swiss cheese, so just use it as inspiration.

I'm so sorry about what my stupid country is doing. I hope we are able to sto

After being blocked from buying a 3rd Satisfactory key ( 2 keys for my kids, and 1 for me), I submitted a support ticket, but their listed response time is 10 days. The deal expires in 2 days. 🙁

My last video call cracked me up.

Lily: ¿Tienes una bebida favorita en la tarde? Me: Sí, Me gusta beber una cerveza en la tarde. Lily: Lo siento, no puedo continuar la conversación.

🤣😂🤣

A few years ago I used to get of lot of scam texts calls. Then the automatic spam blocking cleared that up, and for a year or two I had almost none.

But man has it returned with a vengeance. I'm blocking/reporting 1-2 calls/texts per day.

I wonder how long until we've collectively blocked all phone numbers?

That is all.

Has anyone bought multiple acres of land in the mountains of Santa Cruz County, and tried to build a house ( or two ) ?

First of all. I know it's too hard, too slow, too expensive, your house will burn, and FAIR plan insurance is very expensive.

But let's say I'm still interested. I'm interested in hearing from those who've actually tried, whether you succeeded or failed.

In the near term, I'm looking at some properties and I'm wondering for those who have bought, were you able to any type of site assessment prior to closing? I imagine a full assessment might take too long to work into a purchase agreement. Are there any preliminary assessments that can be done in a timely manner?

After a "conversation" brainstorming all the names Trump will call his recession, to blame others. I asked ChatGPT to turn the ideas we discussed into an SNL Cold Open script. Here are the results.

INT. HIGH SCHOOL GYM – NIGHT

(The gym is decked out in red, white, and blue. TRUMP, played by James Austin Johnson, stands behind a podium with a big banner that reads "TRUMP 2024: MAKE ECONOMY MANLY AGAIN"**. "Proud to be an American" is just finishing playing.)
