Right. The sentence I quoted was kind of wedged in with the reporting on what you’re stating. So it seemed like associating the two, and I didnt really see the direct private sale as something to have lumped in (to report on as something nefarious).

Honestly regulating businesses to ensure fair and ethical competition and trade is something I like my tax dollars being spent on.

I know you weren’t replying to me, but … what?

I don’t doubt it, and I 100% support regulations aimed at increasing wealth and ownership opportunity and equality. If Compass is shown to be discriminating against minorities, then yeah prosecute the fuck out of them. I just think forcing people to list their home even though they already have a buyer selected isn’t really going to do anything about it and just artificially raises the sale price to cover the realtor fees. Say some elderly home owner is nearing hospice or something and wants to sell the house to their grandkid who is starting a family. Why should they have to do anything other than get a mortgage approved and go sign all the deed/title paperwork for the bank and the county? Forcing it to be listed isn’t going to suddenly make that home be an option for a discriminated minority buyer, because the buyer has already been selected by the owner.

No, dude. Redlining is about banks not lending to people in a discriminatory fashion. The first sentence in your link:

Redlining is a discriminatory practice in which financial services are withheld from neighborhoods that have significant numbers of racial and ethnic minorities.

I quoted a line specifically about the home owner (a person, not a bank or a coporation) having a specific buyer in mind. Not at all the same thing. Even if the owner lists it publicly, the owner still decides to whom they sell the property. Otherwise you would have property-holding companies out there suing to force the sale to them as the highest cash bidder. Forcing a public MLS listing is regulatory capture forcing buyers and sellers to pay a commission to a middle-man when there didn’t need to be one.

HOAs can fuck off and so can you.

Some homeowners want to sell to a neighbor or family member without broad advertising

So? Why should they need to broadly advertise it? It’s a private property transaction. It’s not like it’s government public property.

Ben Affleck and Thomas Jane are wanted for questioning.

Yes, it’s exactly what you’re thinking. Just like Laura Ingraham in 2016

By and large the posters/commenters for those other communities just haven’t wanted to move over.

How is that a function of the streaming stick rather than YouTube itself? Have you looked into if your home router can rune some ad blocking software? Something like PiHole/AdGuard/Unbound.

I love what Google did for recursion

“Your device has been rooted and therefore cannot be supported.”

Yeah it’s not like christians saying it’s a sin for a woman to deny sex from her husband and therefore spousal rape doesn’t exist. Or christian pedophiles being relocated by the church to avoid prosecution. Or mormons grooming teenage girls to be their 14th wife.

Clayton FIPSby?

Customers cancelling over the shrinkflation, and leaving the feedback as to why you’re cancelling, is really the only thing that companies will respond to. Because of their fiduciary responsibility to their share holders, their share price is all that drives these decisions.

Them: Can I ask why you’re cancelling? Me: No.

then quickly finished my tasks in 30 minutes

So you were just as productive (completed the same work)

I played on steam 12 hours a daY

But you had more free time to enjoy your life.

This means you were more productive working from home than working in an office.

Maybe “spam” their posts with comments on how to crosspost.
