Imagine being a female multi award, multi million record selling artist.

You have everything at your fingertips...fortune and fame but when someone who holds the strings ask you "to suck my mans off"...you have no choice but to bow down and do it. Here you are, on your knees, servicing a man who doesn't even have a fifth of your wealth but there you, sucking and swallowing because if you don't, you'll be in the poor house within months and you fools damn near worship these glorified whores.

There's levels to this shyt and money is irrelevant. You admire these celebrities but they're nothing, they're less than nothing because they gave up their souls for something material and temporal. The people who cut their checks are the ones who pledge themselves to causes, who desire power by any means necessary and will use money as a TOOL to accomplish it. These people want to be gods, these are the people who want to FIGHT against the ALMIGHTY GOD and it doesn't matter who they are..they could be a record executive, the doctor operating your body, the governor running your state, the pastor giving your sermon, etc..as long as they have taken the oaths, have bowed the knee and do the rituals they will typically have rank over a lot of these hollywood types as brothers unless your a Jim Carrey, who fully pledged himself to Lucifer years ago.

It’s a mix of porn and dating in general being pretty ridiculous

Having to go through the slow annoying ass process of dating when you aren’t even guaranteed buns when you can put self satisfaction through a microwave and pay 10 bucks to a chick giving top without needed game, no effort, no headache.

That sad hermit life be looking more tempting than not in today’s dating world....shyt is trash and make you wanna just be a a video game playing loner

Bay Area home prices climb on strong demand, low supply
Tight inventory and unstoppable buyers ignoring the economic drag of the Covid pandemic pushed Bay Area median home prices to near-record levels in July.

Median home prices for single family homes in the Bay Area rose 8.6 percent, led by soaring prices in Contra Costa and San Mateo counties. The median sale price for an existing single family home in the nine county region in July was $950,000, according to real estate data firm DQNews, pushing highs not seen since early 2018.

Current market prices have been driven higher by wealthy buyers snapping up more high-end homes, with relatively fewer, lower-priced starter homes selling, agents and economists say.

“It’s just a hot market,” said CoreLogic economist Selma Hepp. Buyers flocked to single family homes, seeking more space. Hepp attributed some of the growth in median prices to a pick up in sales of Bay Area homes going for more than $3 million.

The Bay Area remains one of the strongest real estate markets in the nation, shrugging off economic uncertainty as high-paid tech professionals have benefited from record stock prices and low interest rates. Mortgage rates for a standard, 30-year home loan have sunk below 3 percent, according to Freddie Mac, giving buyers extra purchasing power.

The virus depressed overall Bay Area transactions in the spring with fewer sellers willing to risk home tours. But buyers looking to the suburbs were aggressive shoppers in July, bidding up prices on the Peninsula and in the East Bay.

Year-over-year prices surged in July, according to DQNews and CoreLogic data from Bay Area counties: median sale prices for resale homes jumped 16.7 percent to $735,000 in Contra Costa, 10.3 percent to $1.6 million in San Mateo, 8.2 percent to $973,500 in Alameda, 5.7 percent to $1.3 million in Santa Clara, and 2.7 percent to $1.59 million in San Francisco.

Suburban and rural Bay Area enclaves also saw dramatic growth from the previous July. Single family home prices jumped 25 percent in Marin County to $1.5 million, rose 15 percent in Sonoma County to $690,000, and increased 11.3 percent to $735,000 in Napa County.

Condo sales even rebounded, with the Bay Area median sale price climbing 8.3 percent from the previous July to $725,000.

Home-buying restrictions enacted in March eliminated open houses and limited the number of prospective buyers in a home, helping to lower sales in the traditional spring buying season. Buyers appeared to postpone purchases into the summer — with Bay Area home sales in July climbing 10 percent from the previous year. “Spring demand has shifted to the summer,” Hepp said.

Agents say buyers are looking for more room — extra bedrooms, yards and personal space as work-from-home becomes the norm for Bay Area professionals. Pools are becoming popular with families.

East Bay agent Matt Rubenstein said he’s seen professional couples looking to move from San Francisco to the East Bay for the added space. Walnut Creek and Pleasanton have drawn tech workers and super-charged the housing market.

Aggressive buyers are bidding up prices, waiving contingencies and making preemptive offers. Rubenstein said that’s unusual in Contra Costa County. “I’ve seen some ridiculous offers,” he said.

Cupertino agent Alan Wang also has noticed growing demand for East Bay communities. He’s seen homes in Pleasanton and Dublin book eight showings an hour for starter homes listed for around $1.3 million. “It’s been extremely busy,” Wang said. “You would have thought it would have slowed down.”

The shoppers are overwhelmingly tech professionals with two-income families. “Tech is one of those unique industries,” Wang said. “It’s a little strange, for sure.”



Caroline Dinsmore, an agent in Burlingame, sees three major drivers in the market: people leaving San Francisco for more space; retirees deciding to leave for safer, rural retreats; and families looking to upgrade.

The common thread, she said, is “people wanting more space.”




I thought the prices were dropping?

@Stir Fry I thought I was gonna get a crib in your neighborhood :francis:

I still think the market is going to tank at some point. Lot's of new housing is being built and I know for a fact that there is a huge exodus of transplants right now. Fortunately, all the people that are moving are the ones that never liked being here in the first place. Hopefully some of the culture will rebound with their departures, because it's still a great place to be, but it's nowhere near as fun as it used to be to live out here.
