Now I remember one of the huge perks of having a WFH job. I spent SO much less money on food.

@BocaRear finished the stranger. I want to end my life but at the same time I greatly look forward to my goals. Monsieur would understand me.

Absurdism is a dark hole to go down

It's Ramadan so I started fasting and praying and I can't lie, religion is the rope we need in dark times.

This life is absurd indeed but hopefully the after life and the good deeds we do here count

Look into religion breh

Christianity for me, when I’m really obedient I literally have spiritual experiences. Lust is a mutha that drags me down.

What kind of spiritual experiences?

What kind of spiritual experiences?

Demons haunting me in naps and dreams to get me to go back whatever vice(s) keep me from praying and reading more of the Bible.

When I succumb back to them, they don’t bother.

They put me in sleep paralysis and I have to literally pray against them in that moment to break free. Call on Jesus and even cast the fire of God on them. I know it’s sound weird but I’m not trolling.

The weather perfect

Was leaving an area in Downtown Dallas

Wanted to cruise around bumping some Turk

Had the windows and sun roof down on my truck
And the back window down



Was about to make beaucoup runs

Then i thought about them premium gas prices and how big my tank is

When they started tracking stats, I wonder why basketball used the per game method instead of the totals to decide their season leaders. Like in football, the rushing leader is the one who rushes the most yards, the passing leader is the one who passes for the most yards. Wouldn't it make sense for the NBA (and other basketball leagues, NCAA, etc.) to determine their scoring, rebounding, assists, steals, and blocks leaders as totals instead of per game.

Canada to Ban Foreigners From Buying Homes as Prices Soar

Canada to Ban Foreigners From Buying Homes as Prices Soar

Canada will ban most foreigners from buying homes for two years and provide billions of dollars to spur construction activity in an attempt to cool off a surging real-estate market.

The measures will be contained in Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland’s budget on Thursday, according to a person familiar with the matter, asking not to be named because the matter is private.

The move signals that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is becoming more assertive about taming one of the developed world’s most expensive housing markets -- and that the government is growing more concerned about the political backlash to inflation and the rising cost of housing.

Home prices in Canada have soared more than 50% over the past two years. The market saw a record monthly increase in February as buyers acted ahead of rate increases by the Bank of Canada, taking the benchmark price of a home to C$869,300 ($693,000).


The foreign-buyer ban won’t apply to students, foreign workers or foreign citizens who are permanent residents of Canada, the person said.

“I don’t think prices are going to fall as a result, though I do think it takes away at least some of the competition in what is the most competitive market in Canadian housing history,” Simeon Papailias, founder of real estate investment firm REC Canada. “I don’t think a two-year band-aid is going to have an impact on what’s a fundamental lack of supply.”

Several billion dollars in Freeland’s budget will be allocated to building affordable housing and to helping local governments update their systems to allow faster construction of new properties.


Yet the government plans other measures that could potentially boost demand, ostensibly to help new home buyers. Freeland will introduce legislation that allows Canadians under the age of 40 to save as much as C$40,000 ($31,900) for a home downpayment within a new tax-exempt vehicle, the person said.

Blind Bidding
During last year’s election campaign, Trudeau’s party also proposed a ban on “blind bidding” for houses -- the prevailing system by which offers are kept secret when someone is auctioning a home.

Blind bidding has been blamed for accelerating price gains in a hot market, with properties sometimes selling for hundreds of thousands of dollars over the asking price. Some believe that secret bidding forces each potential buyer to offer as much as they can.

The industry body for the country’s real estate agents has now backed away from its defense of the practice. The Canadian Real Estate Association announced a pilot project Wednesday to display offers in real time on properties listed on its own listing website, Realtor.ca.

“Multiple-offer scenarios have become increasingly commonplace in today’s real estate environment,” Michael Bourque, the association’s chief executive officer, said in a statement. “Canadian property buyers and sellers seek greater confidence in the process.” The pilot will begin in select markets this summer, the press release said.

Watching the 85 Grammies right now at twerk and man, Cyndi (Lauper) was something else.


Very cool and eccentric, she accepted her win with grace, pizzazz and quirk. I can dig it.


She also performs a cover of the purple one's When You Were Mine and super duper LOL at her interpretive dance sequences.


Man, i'm giving her her due flowers. Hailing from BK, USA... she's a gem for sure and we'll never see another.

The fact that I have seen four different threads on trans people getting “reparations“ yet none of the people making or responding to the thread seem to read the fukking proposal is irritating. These be the same people who say both sides but can’t quote fukking legislation Or name politicians besides the head honchos. You stupid cats are a detriment to the collective.
