Yeah, what are they doing there? Crazy Antarcticans.

Annoyed that the person in the third post is pretending to be the person in the first two posts.

I could not figure out how to get acquainted with people on there.

If you click the line, there’s a video interview with the guy that line is about. Apparently, that line caused a rift between him and Biggie. Wonder why?

Meteors was fantastic! But yes, after that, it kinda fell off.

Such a good film!

Not cause of your age. I got told that all the time in high school! And college. And after college.

Anyway, I eventually got a partner, but having a consecutive string of meeting romantically incompatible potential partners is not age dependent.

Oh, what a problem to be having sex. 😑

“Let’s play Smash Bros. For science.”

I don’t know. The identical faces adds some humor to me.

I think I’ve given up on finding Farside funny. I must just not be enlightened enough.

Who made a community called “shermanposting”? Why does it feel like entire communities are made to support a single post sometimes?

Thank you for sharing. I now grasp the disConnect.

I mean, it tracked just fine for me when I read this.

I’m using Connect.

I’ll give a very literal example joke demonstrating how this used to function.

NOBODY:

ME: Yes, I did get a haircut. Thank you for asking.

See, nobody asked, but the speaker was still compelled to share this fact (or in other cases, an opinion). Over time, it became such a common format that people didn’t even grasp the initial purpose beyond it being convention. The term “POV” in captions is used this way now too.

Is the display different for others? Mine shows the word balloon on top but the text on the bottom instead.

If you haven’t read the article, this is terrible news for people trying to buy a home. Touring homes and making offers was previously free for the prospective buyer and entirely paid out by a 3% commission paid out by the seller who was already making money off the sale.

Now, not only do landlords no longer have to pay real estate agents, this startup of theirs would force prospective buyers to pay flat fees per tour and per offer.

Oh, it’s much worse than that. The suit argued that property owners felt like it wasn’t fair that they had to pay a 3% commission to get their property sold, filed a suit, won, and now, they’re starting a service that forces the prospective buyer to pay additional flat fees per house tour and additional flat fees per offer they make, all of which was previously free for the prospective buyer.

TLDR; some property owner that got miffed about having to pay a real estate agent a 3% commission for helping them sell a house that they failed to sell on their own filed a lawsuit about it, won, and now, they’re starting a “service” which would instead force prospective buyers and renters who are probably already paying their life savings for a place to live “$49 for each home tour and $199 for an offer prep session. If they want more hand-holding, they can cough up a flat fee of $1,799, which includes up to five home tours and two offer prep sessions, with additional services available on an à la carte basis”.
