  1. Buying a mobile home in a rented park is one of the most dangerous traps for poor people that there is. They are bought up by vulture companies who raise the rent to extortionate levels, ruining the value of resell, and most people are too poor to move it to another park if they can even find one without a similar problem. A totally captive audience. In theory they could be good "tiny homes" but in practice they are extremely not recommendable. Of course if you can buy the land too and it's hooked up that's much better but typically the land is more expensive than the unit so not a budget option in most of the country. There is also the stigma which isn't fun -- trailer trash, etc. Humorously "tiny home" communities are quite similar in structure but come across as trendy.
  2. Magas are not conservative. Magas are a cult of personality of Donald Trump. They don't have an ideology except to follow whatever Trump is saying at the moment.
  3. Local or imported stuff?
  4. Almost everywhere, yes. Some places including some of the D list places we've been talking about, no.
  5. How about Marjorie Greene for the Putin party?
  6. You're being silly. It's not about converting magas. They are a minority. It's about getting out the vote of everyone else!
  7. Uh oh! RFK Jr. Poll Spells Disaster for Donald Trump (newsweek.com)
  8. Yeah it gets chilly though so no place is perfect.
  9. Maybe. I only went there for a dinner. You're still in the Cebu metro though.
  10. I also don't like Cebu City or Dumaguette. I wouldn't ever even visit Angeles. I'm interested in Baguio and Iloilo City.
  11. How ridiculous. Of course Biden is the president. REALLY. To say he isn't is crazy maga propaganda. Nobody is going to replace him on the ticket. No Hillary is out of the question even if she was interested. This isn't about your fun, buddy.
  12. Pretty much. I'm into much more specific details though. You don't move to anywhere if you move. You move to someplace very specific. As far as the Midwest, I've been talking about Youngstown Ohio and Fort Wayne Indiana but of course too cold. Close to midwest Huntington WV is interesting. I like Pittsburgh but a tad over D list, maybe a suburb? I'm not much into the desert southwest, so that leaves the deep south. A bit of a surprise to me but Alabama has risen to high on my Plan B list in the U.S. The shoals towns, maybe even Montgomery. Places that are decent enough where you can buy a decent house for 100K USD are interesting. Need a car almost everywhere and that's a budget buster. Maybe not needed in Pittsburgh for example which could justify higher rents.
  13. I think he should board his Trump Farce One jet and flee to Budapest. America First, Hungary Second, whatever works.
  14. Yes. It's not even close to normal but wondering if this is the new normal.
  15. Hilariously, most of the songs are in English.
  16. That's rather dramatic. Most Israelis want Netanyahu gone. He stays only because of the war. So he's incentivized to keep the war going indefinitely to avoid losing power. So I agree with most Israelis desire to see him gone and I agree with Biden and Schumer he should be gone, but of course I don't agree with the diplomatic angle of being so explicit about that. My impression is that this has become back burner anyway, and you just made that comment to attack Biden because you want fascist Trump to win.
  17. Well I hate that many countries are extremely anti LGBT but I wouldn't go so far as to think the west has any business forcing other countries to not be like that. Israelis overwhelmingly don't want a two state solution because they have zero trust that such a new state wouldn't become stronger with Iran's backing to seriously threaten their existence. Israelis are not wrong about that. Israel is very tiny and with all the B.S. about "land stealing" it remains very tiny and stuck in a VERY HOSTILE neighborhood.
  18. Perhaps he should get his thyroid checked out?
  19. I agree of course that no group of people is a monolith. But I totally reject your assertion that you lack bias on the conflict and also your totally absurd insinuation that homophobia there isn't extremely severe and widespread. You might gain some credibility if you took some effort to be more honest.
