With a video of a big boom videoed from an apartment window

Even in North America, for some reason the idea that real estate is "safe" persists despite multiple examples within our lifetimes indicating it's not necessarily true especially if you buy at the top of the bubble.

The reason local Chinese believe it is "safe" is quite different from North American buyers. Typically in China, the provincial government is largely funded by real estate sales, invests heavily in real estate development schemes and in Chinese eyes, makes the investment safe because it is "backed" by the provincial government. And in the past that was true. The local and federal authorities would intervene and bail out the developer.

Seriously, is there any other source for the Kerch fire besides a random Twitter account? I'm not seeing it anywhere else on reliable accounts

If you are not seeing it anywhere else, and you have already asked and no one responded, do you think maybe just maybe there is not any other sources currently.

not to cross-post with the Rejected Parents thread but

:lol::lol::lol: In 1989 my nparents bought a total shithole literally right next to the freeway at the height of the 80s California real estate bubble. They were building hundreds of track homes literally in every direction, but ndad wanted :airquote: something with land :airquote: so we ended up in a 20 year old shithole on a 3/4 acre lot, with one yard only accessible through a 6' gap. Nmom worked as a mortgage underwriter at the time, and they were both utterly CONVINCED their house was going to skyrocket in value.

:lol::lmao: they hated living next to the freeway so much it almost ruined their marriage. The entire house didn't sleep right for four loving years. Ndad worked nights at the creamery so he didn't care, but he lost his mind when they were doing freeway construction during the day.

:rubby: they lost so much money on that house they filed bankruptcy five years later. faux edit I went and looked up the sale price history on Zillow, and that home didn't sell for what my parents bought for until loving 2010 :pusheen:

:lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

three times as much. Also the city or county or state built a 12' tall solid brick wall between the freeway and the backyard two years after they sold. That didnt just fix the noise, it also fixed the staggering amount of drunk people who got flats on the freeway by our house and jumped our fence. Seriously we had someone come into the yard at least 1x a week, day or night, the entire time we lived there. #Californiarealestate

Lol caught this on the radio this morning. people are watching the Barbie movie speakeasy style.

Ms Butina adds that the film has not been licensed to appear in Russian cinemas.

"Do not break the law. Is this a question for our movie theatres? Absolutely. I filed several requests to cinemas asking on what basis they are showing the film," she says.

My assumption is that securing Crimea was the #1 goal, taking more chunks just for the sake of creating a land route with a safety buffer around it, but it's anyone's guess what the reasoning actually was :shrug:

I mean with everything else we've learned about Russia since the invasion would the existance of a Pretty Borders faction really be that much of a surprise?

Actually I'm a bit upset over this.

"Tankie" implies left leaning values, giving these chucklefucks a semblance of morality to hang their genocidophile rhetorics on. Whereas, in reality, "genocide enthusiast" is just as accurate a term, without the red herring of leftism dragged over it. Just loving stop calling genocide enthusiasts tankies please.
