Valmore Posted December 4, 2015 Posted December 4, 2015 Confession: In a few short hours, I'll be buying a house. It's by far the most stressful thing I've ever done in my life. I always see these articles wondering why more Millennials aren't buying houses. Spoiler: This is why. It's awful. It's terrifying. It's like reading euphoria in Smell-o-vision™. It's also insanely expensive, especially here around NYC. Right now in my bag, I have several bank checks large enough to have their own small moons orbiting them. And you know what? Those checks aren't even for the house; they're to cover closing and legal costs.In short, why is it that drinking before noon is so frowned upon?There are houses in NYC? Clearly you mean the burbs, right? Quote
Darbury Posted December 4, 2015 Posted December 4, 2015 That's a pretty grand place to pick for buying your first house. o.O Why NYC?It's where I work. It's where my wife works. It's where our families live. It's where our friends are.So New York it is! Quote
Kenshin_sama Posted December 4, 2015 Posted December 4, 2015 Ah, righto. Most of my family was from New York, but they moved down to Florida when my grandma decided to go. Actually, I've met a number of New Yorkers that have migrated down here lol. Quote

Darbury Posted December 4, 2015 Posted December 4, 2015 There are houses in NYC? Clearly you mean the burbs, right?Yup, smack dab in the burbs. We considered buying in the city, but it's pretty much impossible to get anything in a good neighborhood these days unless you're a Russian/Chinese millionaire. We, as it turns out, are not.

We, as it turns out, are not.Figured as much, still have friends in the area who pay out the nose for a cramped studio apartment in the city. If you were buying a house in NYC proper, I'd have to accuse you of being a drug lord or Donald Trump. Not sure which would be worse, though... Quote

Closing was not a pleasant experience, although honestly I found the looking around more stressful than the actual closing. It's also expensive as hell here in Seattle...The best news is, selling your new home will be even more stressful than buying it was! After 4.5 years in my condo, suffering through a mostly clueless HOA that refused to hire a management company, and stressing out personally over the state of my unit and the building itself, I was done with home ownership. I've been happily renting a very nice apartment in a downtown high-rise ever since. Not sure what move I'll make if/when marriage and kids come around, but for the time being, this is the right call for my sanity. Darbury 1 Quote

Shikomizue Posted December 5, 2015 Posted December 5, 2015 Confession: I'm playing Majikoi and I can't decide whether I want to go for Chris last to get a sense of fulfillment from overcoming all other obstacles, or go for Chris first and add her to my tsundere harem straight away... I hate being indecisive... Quote

I hate being indecisive...The order doesn't really matter much, so I'm afraid I won't be able to say much. The only thing I would recommend is to read Mayuzumi 's route before Momoyo's. Quote
Funyarinpa Posted December 5, 2015 Posted December 5, 2015 Confession: I replied to that Canadian girl in S. Arabia a couple of days ago, I mentioned that I liked video game music and linked a few examples.Did I fuck up? (Never talked about games before) Quote

(Never talked about games before)It's a risky move, she might be put off by it if she doesn't like video games herself. I would probably have started with a more 'regular' hobby like reading or sports. You might be lucky tho, because she'll probably be very happy about your answer if she's into gaming herself Quote

Down Posted December 5, 2015 Posted December 5, 2015 Well, basically, an anecdotal incident where someone gets oppressed because of what is perceived to be his race (let us not forget races are mostly vague social constructs) is racism. A whole population getting oppressed for the same reason is institutionalized racism. The former can go in any direction, the second is undeniably one-sided. That's about all where the argument can go in my opinion. Quote

It's a nutritious way of dealing with feelings of emptiness, loss, pain, regret, failure, etc etc.It's why everybody's so healthy. Fred the Barber and Kawasumi 2 Quote

RIP I know what that feels having a device land on the toilet. Confession: I was texting while I was peeing and my cell phone landed on the toilet. Luckily it's one of those cheap Nokia phones. I dunno what I would do if it was my smartphone of today. Edited December 5, 2015 by CeruleanGamer Quote
