  • Right.

    Owning one or two residential properties is fine, more is problematic.

    I say "two" to handle the very common case of children putting their parents' homes in their own name because Medicare clawback rules will take the home after they die if you don't do it early enough.

  • The Internet says that the total cost for a degree from Johns Hopkins medical student per year is $64,665. In addition, various indirect costs like books, housing, healthcare, various fees, living expenses, and so on, bring that same estimate up to around $105,000 annually.

    $1,000,000,000 invested in a stupid boring index fund at an estimated 4% return yields $40,000,000 in interest alone, or, using the above numbers, enough for 380(.95) students each year.

    Based on this quick page from their own website: https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/som/education-programs/md-program/our-students/class-statistics

    Wherein they accept just 266 students, it could last for a very long time.

  • Trump can't stay out of the spotlight long. He's wholly incapable of not being the center of attention.

    In other news, did you see his name in those Epstein records? Turns out he allegedly raped a few kids, so there's something fun for Republicans to condone ignore.

  • Biden could trot out as a half-rotten corpse and I'd still vote for him over a serial liar and traitor to our nation.

  • Fyi: people often take out more than one loan, and leave the lowest interest federal loans for last...

  • I remember. The turbo on my 386 didn't make it faster. It made non turbo mode slower.

  • The Court has to know that ruling a former President immune for breaking the law isn't a viable decision.

    Like, it would immediately make any sitting President a king, and supercede the Court's power.

    Which is why they'll wait, but rule he isn't immune. Not because it's the right thing, but because doing otherwise would make the Court less, and they're selfish fucks that want to be on top.

  • That's all well and good, but remember,

    concurring opinion

    ...is what matters at the end of the day.

  • Standing up in the face of oppression and bigotry is the point.

  • In this case, remembering standing means they don't have to double down and rule on abortion itself again.

  • my mom mostly stays downstairs and her friend mostly stays upstairs

    So you're saying your mom is a bottom? /s

  • "Training data"

  • I have frequently complained that the cat doesn't do anything useful except generate poo, and what can I do with that?

    My demands to get a job are met with disdain.

  • Altruism is never going to be the way to get companies to do the right thing. Instead, making the wrong thing a financial liability is.

  • It's only new-feeling cause it's been 20-some years since we've had a democratic control of most parts of the government.

    It's pretty neat, right?

  • History will forget her.

    How many people remember stupid congresspeople from 30 years ago?

    Imhofe bringing a snowball to the Senate floor, this disproving climate change, for example. You and i and historians might, but average Joe on the street?

  • The answer is the old chestnut,

    "When you are accustomed to privilege, equality feels like oppression."

    People like those you're responding to often see the world as a zero-sum game. If LGBTQ+ people carve out -- or in this case, demand -- representation for themselves, they believe that representation must take away "representation points" or whatever from some other group.

    Frankly, Pride is the one time of year it's okay to tell these people to shut the fuck up and sit down.
