I never negotiate with little terrorists.

If you can’t see the difference between a bunch of rich people organizing to protect their investments by telling other people what to do (because that’s what HOAs are/do) and labor organizing for better working conditions, then I don’t know what to tell you. You’ve completely lost the plot.

Your first sentence is reason enough why I will never live in an HOA neighborhood. That’s not the kind of community involvement I want in my life. I cannot imagine devoting any kind of time or energy to policing how the rest of the neighborhood looks/behaves. You could not pay me enough money to spend any amount of my…

In our more than 50 years of marriage, we have owned homes both in and out of HOAs. The last house we purchased, in 2012, will in fact be our last and we searched long and hard to find a house we liked with the features we needed/wanted but with no HOA.

I mean, the #1 red flag is, it’s an HOA contract.

Congrats to you, I guess?

The two I’ve worked for recently have been 100% Microsoft Office.  I’m not against it.  It’s expensive but I really do enjoy the Microsoft suite of software.

You didn’t mention the #1 issue: drywall dust! That stuff gets everywhere and will kill your vacuum in no time. A shop vac is best, but even then it does a number on your filter.

Buddy. I’m sure that’s super good. But this is the frozen pizza department.

The handles of a pot on the stovetop aren’t nearly as hot as, say, a cast iron pan coming out of the oven or a paella pan coming off of a grill.

I can take a category 1 piece of meat, cook it, salt it with category 2 salt, and now I have a category 3 meal, or a category 4 if I put it in the fridge and sell it as ready-to-eat. How’s this helpful again?

“Many of these assessments are grounded in good behavioral science.”

Yes, a lot of people don’t realize that if they’re venting air outside, there also needs to be a source of fresh air to replace it or you won’t adequately vent the smoke/fumes.

Oh fuck right off with your conspiracy nonsense. Hot tip -- anyone who honest-to-god uses the word “globalists” to scare folks is a nut job. 

Why does it only have to be about one thing?

Yes.  Yes it will.

Spread some peanut butter on your lawn and garden tools—including wooden handles—before storing them for the winter. It will keep them well-preserved throughout the cold weather, and ready to roll come spring  attract every single rodent that has ever existed to the relative warmth and comfort of your garage

TL:DR — Don’t tell your children it’s going to be okay. Tell them they’re dying and that pain lasts forever and the universe thinks nothing of them at best and hates them at worst, that it’s all pointless and their dreams and fears and accomplishments and trials are worth less than a speck of dust in a sandstorm and…

You’re confusing less time to go through all the same, necessary steps as rushed. The COVID vaccines didn’t get to skip steps, they went through the same process as other vaccines. However, the main difference is the fact that COVID was so prevalent and so many people volunteered for the trials. That allowed them to…
