About to opren a betting pool. Did Loomer or bodyguard place the gun there?
(Loomer is a 9-11 Truther nutcase that DT brought to the 911 remembrance ceremony, and Maher speculated Trump is fucking her. That's why the rumor spread that his campaign is dead spread so fast).

Shots fired in the vicinity of Trump, no one injured, weapon found. The day after Bill Maher's episode pronouncing the Trump campaign toasted and over (which trended for 24 hours on social media.)

There are no government driven housing shortages in California. There is a government driven plethora of SROs.
There are empty apartments sitting there while the taxpayer pays for more. Real estate developers love it. They get payola.
Renters, meanwhile, either don't want to move into a postage stamp sized room, so they pay more to get a decent one bedroom ($10K is a "reasonable price", no?) or they go homeless because $3k is too much, and they can't have a roomate in a single room and bath.

Supply and demand is a joke re: real estate. Location matters more than both.
If you have supply in a location where there are no opportunites for work, houses go empty. If you have a desireable location, it doesn't matter whether there is supply. Prices go up -- if houses are empty, there are vacation homes to be bought, and money to laundered.
If you want to lower rent, you need to make houses available for *sale*. That's how rent estate works.
Take your supply, and your demand and leave this thread.

2024-09-14 19:35:34

If you're from California, you need to know that Prop 35 is being pushed by landlords to punish AIDs Project LA.
APLA has lobbied for rent control, and the real estate industry doesn't like it.

Half a century after the founding of the first women’s refuges, we should be arguing for better female-only services, not trying to justify their existence or re-invention. Shame on Mridul Wadhwa, but shame, too, on every “feminist” who boosted her status by casually unpicking the work of every unknown, unpaid, unsung woman who achieved things she never will.

It's men deciding that since they don't "identify" with typical masculine traits, they must be Other Than Men (woman).
If women don't behave in ways that the Other Than Men has identified with, the woman is Other Than Woman.
There is an inbuilt concept in this whole thing that women, of themselves, are insubstantial, an inferior being made up of social roles involving pillow fights and sexy underwear.
Empirical observation would interfere with that.
It's central to how it plays out, IMO.
Don't know if that answers your question. (My phone just woke me up with an Amber Alert, so I'm a bit groggy, but am having a hardtime going back to sleep.)

2024-09-13 07:31:23

I disagree. It's central.
"Women" is a floating set of socially imposed steretyopes to that TIMS find sexually appealing to fetishize.
Women breaking the stereotype has always been seen as hateful and unnatural to most men, which is why "terf" is just another in a long line of "feminazi" and "witch" accusations.
It's central.

The report, commissioned by Rape Crisis Scotland, found Wadhwa had failed to carry out its primary function: to deliver services to women and girls who have experienced sexual violence.
It also said that the centre’s regime under Wadhwa “caused damage” to survivors and some “did not feel safe” using it, according to the report’s author, Vicky Ling, a legal specialist.

See right now, they have gift *bags*. Halloween is major candy season, but the package isn't as important. They throw candy bars into a simple bag for trick or treat. The most they'll do is lable it a Count Chocula bag.
Xmas tho, people wrap gifts so they either put it in a box, or a fancy bag that doesn't need wrap.
Example, this isn't chocolate but I seriously wanted one when I was a kid.
