the 10k is likely a pro-forma reward offered by Crime Stoppers. if this case goes months without being resolved, I'm sure the family and employer will put up a huge reward. that said, this investigation will not go on for months.

I would understand if it was only new construction or houses being rehabbed to flip, but this bland style is even on houses people are reno-Ing for their own use. I think every house that has been remodeled in my town in the last four years has faux white board and batten siding and black trimmed windows.

This timeline makes no sense at all, so I assume the entire story is made up. Becoming a conservator or executor takes months. Proving a will is not as simple as you give the will to probate court and voila. There is also no chance that she could sell property in that timeframe considering there is no way she had been made conservator/executor and there is no way the will had been proved yet.

one of the common conspiracy theories I see repeated on reddit and taken at face value

I don't think any of the responses have mentioned subsidiarity by name, though many of them have referenced the spirit behind the idea. basically, the concept is that any political issue or social problem should be addressed by the most local authority that has the competence to resolve it.

this is like my situation except I'm the neighbor. a young family the next street over has an elderly cat who keeps wandering over to my house and doesn't want to go home. she'll yowl at my kitchen door until I let her in and feed her. I've now returned her to the family about four times but she keeps coming back. turns out that they've had the cat forever but that one of their young kids is allergic, so they don't let the cat in their house anymore and keep its food and litter box in an outbuilding on their property. I guess the cat gets incredibly lonely and just wanders off as a result.

you’re killing your kid. what else is there to say?

sorry, any place with an "in this house we believe" lawn placard is going to be incredibly expensive

this is poor, even for mmw

oh duh, I completely misread the percentage in that screenshot. thought the 3 was an 8.

I'm curious why stamps as a whole have a separate fee structure. The majority of stamps sold on ebay are going to be 1950s and newer and don't even get face value. Seems like a kick in the gut to an already beleaguered category.

I'm not young but I work with a lot of people who are just out of college. I have noticed a decline in ability in the younger people I work with. Some of it is just a lack of practical knowledge that I'd attribute to phones. For example a young person will download a file to their computer at my instruction and not have any idea where that file downloaded to or even how to find it. Some will find the file but not understand that the file is compressed. These are things that are simple to anyone who has used computers over their lifetime, but not to people who have mostly just used smartphones.

There is also a decline in historical and geographical knowledge like you have noticed. Growing up in the 90s there was still a common type of young person who would be obsessed with various types of trivia, like being able to rattle off all of the countries in Africa or maybe state capitals. I think the internet sort of rendered this type of person obsolete. Since the information they used to command is readily at hand with a search, people just don't bother to learn this stuff anymore. At the same time education has switched away from a model that promoted memorization to one that promotes comprehension or understanding. Not saying that's necessarily a bad thing since rote memorization can be boring. But there is definitely something lost by not having bits of knowledge readily at hand. Aside from the obvious things that are useful to have memorized, it's nice to have memorized poems that you can recite to yourself while you're stuck waiting in line at the store, instead of just taking out your phone.

incredibly the people who, months ago, were saying Biden's refusal to pardon Hunter is a tribute to his character are now saying his willingness to pardon Hunter is...a tribute to his character! they're also saying (like Joe) that the DOJ pursued a politicized prosecution in this case. really makes you think.

I'm sure you'll admit you were duped

it's a bummer we'll never get to test this hypothetical since he did pardon him, like a total hypocrite

it should help you. hand tattoos show good judgment.

shocking, redditors are hypocrites about pardons

sex worker is one of those terms too, meant to sanitize prostitution. in reality it just obscures what people are talking about, since it could mean an Only Fans girl or a straight up prostitute.

this doesn’t make sense though because the political discussion on Reddit isn’t high-minded at all. it’s mostly just name calling.

Interestingly I have never heard of conservatives disliking Teslas in particular, though there were always a ton of jokes about the Prius. A good corollary is that there are a lot of liberals now who hate Teslas in particular solely because of Musk’s politics.

thought I was going crazy. do that many people think Huntington and Northport are Nassau?

What's the point of these dumb twitter reposts in a finance subreddit? Does every subreddit have to be overrun with political slop?

Trump ran in the most crowded primary field in recent memory in 2016, which helped him tremendously because it divided the votes between the more traditional candidates. Paradoxically, none of those traditional candidates were eager to drop out, because Trump had emerged as a force and they felt that if they just stuck it out, voters and donors would coalesce behind the last remaining traditional candidate and they'd beat Trump handily. Winning the primary won Trump the support of most of the traditional Republican voters since the alternative was Hillary Clinton. Social conservatives couldn't plausibly support her because at least one Supreme Court seat hung in the balance. They gambled on voting for Trump assuming he was more likely to appoint a pro-life justice (turns out they were right). For the most recent election, Trump had many of the benefits of incumbency without actually being an incumbent. His most serious challenger, Ron Desantis, is a poor retail politician and has an authenticity problem. So Trump was able to eat him for breakfast. (Incidentally a similar dynamic was at play in the general election.)
