Landlords controlling what you do and how you treat THEIR property = logical.
HOA’s controlling what you do and how you treat YOUR property = illogical.

HOA’s start with good intentions and that’s like you outlined above (minimal rules about not doing obviously dumb/disrespectful/hateful things). The problem is, that short list gets longer and longer each year as people complain about this or that to the board and next thing you know, you’re 5 years in and the HOA…

Yeah, HOA’s aren’t going to help out with large expenses. That would take too much money out of their slush fund. Any large expense that effects the association is either something the city is already liable for, or something that’s already available elsewhere and not worth paying hundreds or thousands a year to have…

I can agree with the last paragraph, and the last sentence of the paragraph above it.

I took it to mean the outside/inside/outside line taken through a corner when racing and how it “flattens the curve” and that of course playing off the same term used for the outbreak’s curve. 

In your proposed alternate reality where landlords don’t exist, who maintains and controls an apartment complex in a non-landlord capacity? Same for a rental house? Who pays to re-paint everything, install new carpet/flooring after someone let their dog piss on it for a year before they moved out, etc.? A renter sure…

You can complain about rent pricing all you want (and there is some validity there) but the idea that landlord = bad purely because they charge people to use a thing they bought is nothing short of idiotic.

99% of businesses on earth involve someone with exceptional means (financial or otherwise) using that to open a business to provide a product or service others need but cannot easily procure on their own (because of a lack of money, skill, or desire). If you think being a landlord is inherently evil, buy a house. If…

There is no right or wrong answer. It’s similar to the ol’ “If your dad gives you an ax and you replace the handle, then years later you replace the head, is it still your dad’s ax?”, only less straightforward as there are way more than two pieces in play. 

If it’s your car you can call it whatever you want but expect…

My first response is “who cares” since you could say this about most race cars (nothing stock remains). I know this is the internet and people are always looking for something to complain about though so I’m not surprised.
 
It appears as though the “cab” portion of the body started off as a 36 Chevy so it’s likely most…

Yeah, we did sleep training at like 6-9 months (I can’t remember, brain didn’t function then on a few hours of sleep) for each of our boys. It was torture for my wife for the 3-4 days it took to train (I finally learned to give her earplugs and turn up the TV) but after that our nightly sleep doubled immediately…

As an American, I’m confused why you think everyone here thinks a kolache is sausage in a roll? I’ve never even heard of that as a possible derivative of a kolache. It’s always been a fruit pastry, namely a round pastry with fruit in the center, for me and every single person I grew up with. I’m not saying either one…

No, not a monster. It’s just a blinker, leaving it on isn’t anywhere near monster territory. Furthermore, that’s using a blinker improperly. Reclining a seat is using it properly. So your comparison sucks too.

Are you dense enough to think that’s a valid comparison or are you just trying to troll? Car seats recline beyond the height at which you can see out the windshield. Doing so is a death sentence. Reclining an airplane seat puts no one at risk of death. Furthermore, airplane seats don’t recline into the lap of the…

Your example is flawed. Parking over the line is going beyond what’s allowed. Reclining is allowed. Your example would be correct if you said parking 1.5" to the side of perfectly centered in the parking space. In which case everyone is fine with it. 

FYI, you can use a 12pt socket over the end of a tap to get the ratcheting effect without needing any special tools. Just have to use the right sized socked for the tap. Try it out sometime, works quite well...way better than an adjustable wrench or vice-grips. 

Drill a hole from the fender well side so you can access it from the back side, tap it, done. If you can’t locate where to drill the hole, use a small punch inserted in the hole from the threaded side to dent the spot in question, then locate the dent and drill it. You can put a plastic push cap in the hole afterwards…

TMZ did not report the Rick Fox false news...I’m pretty sure that originated on social media and then news outlets (not TMZ) picked it up. A lot of news outlets got a lot of stuff wrong about the Kobe story but TMZ was on point in terms of accuracy. 

You’re a 0.1 percenter. Nothing is made for people your size, including airplane seats. Showers are too low, beds are too short, seats are too low, counters are too low, tables are too low, etc., etc., etc. I don’t think there should be any expectation that seats should comfortably fit you, just like there should be…

Same for my wife. I’ve always assumed it’s something related to her lotion, makeup, perfume, etc. but I don’t really know for sure. She was really on a run for a while where she got swabbed 5 straight trips. Hasn’t happened lately though.
