I’m better at writing than talking because it takes me so long to think of so many words.
today I paused for 30 seconds trying to remember “second line of defense,”
and paused again for a really long time trying to remember what this thing is called I plug my phone into recharge when I’m traveling, oh yeah it’s called a “power bank.”
If you own your home, it’s a matter of public record in most states. Hell, I once used to resolve a disagreement my wife and I were having over our neighbor’s name. Just looked up the property address on your county assessors website… They list the owners, when the property was last sold, the appraised value and taxes, and a bunch of other stuff.
I was gifted a fancy-schmancy whiskey aged in port wine casks. It’s delicious but I’m allergic to something in it. The warmth of the whiskey quickly turned into burning and itching.
Any chance it's corked? I don't know if that's the correct term, but is the cork light grey / moldy? I've purchased a few bottles that were like that, but I think the flavor was affected in those cases.
Alternatively, any chance you're in the NY vicinity? 🙂
My girlfriend lost her job and failed one of her nursing classes, possibly also failing out of the program altogether (all in the same week) and is just being really nonchalant about the whole thing. I’m pretty sure she won’t be able to make rent and she’ll expect that I’ll help out. It’s more complicated than just dumping her, there’s a child involved, so I’m just like, “I sure as shit hope she’s getting serious after the holidays.”
Damn dude!(dudette?) That’s heavy, In my experience ‘failing out’ of program or course is never a surprise. Maybe next year can be focused around better communication with professors & life partners. Some earnest human interaction goes a long way when grades decline.
it’s much more difficult to find the address of acquaintances we know in daily life
Not entirely.
Ever since I bought my home a few years ago, I have been plagued by phone calls from random numbers of people who know my address, my first and last name, and my phone number, as far as I know in terms of personal information goes. The purchase price of my house is also public information which can be something I may not want everyone knowing as well.
I don’t think this should be legal. I understand somewhat why but it’s still creepy and it’s really obnoxious when the “investors” are offering me half of what I purchased. It’s just spam at this point. And I don’t think people should have this much information about me. People I have never met in my life or chosen to do business with (my mortgage company and insurance provider are entities I have chosen).
To my knowledge, it mostly comes down to transparency. So that you know exactly who owns what in your area. The idea being that the public has a right to know how much of their region actually belongs to the citizens who actually live there.
Sadly it hasn’t done us much good because companies like Blackrock and Vanguard and people like Bill Gates are buying up all the homes and farmland and the public isn’t doing much to show their displeasure with this despite it being public information.
I suppose there’s not much the public can do when the property sales happen in private and the only way anyone knows about it is after it’s already happened.
According to Google book search, the phrase goes at least back to the 1800s. It’s interesting to see that spike between 1900 and 1950. I’d bet it’s related to the horrors of WW1.
As for what it means, other posters have answered: To have faith in humanity is to believe that humans on average have an inherent desire to do the right thing.
Yeah. That’s bs though. Being rich and worried about it while you can afford security and large amounts of property and several vehicles and exclusive clubs and restaurants etc is 100% different than having to deal with the same issues, but with $60k a year instead.
Famous celebrity is a trade off. You’re giving everyone here only the option of taking on the bad portion, while having none of the good portion.
Also remember, most celebrities CHOOSE their fame/lifestyle. They want rich Famous with those issues over $60k and no fame and fortune.
Your giving everyone here only the option of taking on the bad portion, while having none of the good portion.
You’re examining this deeper than my original question. All I asked was: how would you feel if everyone in the world knew where your house is and where you sleep every night?
Haha don’t think we ever found out, I think they were all conscripted for the fountain. I hope he saved one for himself since it was his favorite snack!
With a quick Google search you can find someone’s home address, income, social security number, birthdate, amount of owned vehicles, political work (if any), size of home, criminal record, and much more!
It fucking sucks for it all to be public information, but websites dedicated to collating it all under one roof is even worse.
