My wife is a big fan of casually scrolling through our local facebook yard sale groups and it's an endless sea of giant hutches and poo poo from clearly dead people's estates that are asking for like $500 and you have to haul'em yourself a fact we found out when her mother passed last year is that nobody, absolutely nobody, wants old giant furniture at any price apartments have nowhere to put giant hutches or ornately carved dressers or whatever, and even if they did nobody is paying $200 for what you'll be leaving on the roadside next week

Willa Rogers posted:Anyone doing this newfangled way of dumpster diving by ordering food from restaurants before it's thrown out? that sounds like a cool idea but I imagine at some point it’ll work like any surprise bag idea and it’ll turn into gambling for something nice when 99% of bags are two stale fries, some packs of ketchup, and a pair of fake vampire teeth from the dollar store

If you want something gone, list it for free. That MIGHT work. Like eight years ago or so I tried to get rid of an old IKEA entertainment center and I literally could not give it away. The place I lived at the time had laws against curbing furniture and my landlord absolutely refused to help in any way shape or form (and was mad at me for asking) so eventually I just bought a handsaw and literally sawed it up into pieces small enough to put in the trash. Love how efficient our system is Mola Yam posted:where do you think those inner-city "smash rooms" get their stock This seems pretty dystopian ngl

Getting Polish (and thus EU) citizenship is possible via ancestry, there's some law firms that can help with the process. Takes a decent amount of time but if you have the smallest connection to family there, you can get it done for under $3k.

lmao white guys complaining about air travel lmao when the tsa guy laughed at my name when we were coming through miami and said, 'yeah you're not getting through quick.' then me and my wife spent a couple of hours in a waiting room with a buncha other people, almost missed our connecting flight home. and this is the best case scenario i think cuz they didnt actually interrogate me and ask a buncha dumbass questions.

Malta still has it though That's funny, I see that Quebec resumed their immigrant investor program after a COVID break. Also there's now a federal digital nomad visa for no discernible reason (isn't the whole point of being an itinerant laptop lugger to go somewhere warm amd cheap?).

Good Soldier Svejk posted:I would abandon my life in the US for a free house in Greece. It's gorgeous there. For whatever reason I've just never had any real desire to go there and I don't exactly know why, even though I love Greek food. As far as EU countries go, probably all three of Spain, Portugal, and France (still never been short of routing through CDG) are higher up my list, and probably Turkey too. I'm working on getting an EU passport (I'm like 99% sure I qualify, but I'm finalizing some info I need), but it's insanely slow going because of all the documents I need to gather and it'll probably cost about a few thousand in total to actually get the legal work done which I don't have right now. I'm going to try and rope some of my family members into helping split the bill though since they can get it at the same time and I'll have done all of the hardest legwork. The benefits you get are ridiculously good though compared to this garbage rear end country.

Beached Whale posted:ever since people have discovered the game of flipping "vintage" poo poo on Etsy for huge markups pretty much all of these shops have gotten wise and adjusted their prices accordingly. That took a while, my mom was spending her days thrift shopping and flipping the products on eBay in the early 2000's since she learned about the site to sell Beanie Babies.

FizFashizzle posted:It’s emblematic of the antisocial tendencies that have run rife since Trump/covid/rise in general public talking to each other online. sure but lol if you think this is unique to chuds/trump. liberals are the exact mirror of chuds especially when it comes to judging themselves superior to people they are in line with. it doesn’t matter how big their condo payment is or how pointless their sinecure job is. they’re gonna had to stand next to a midwestern christian and wait for a traumatized gate attendant to say their flight is delayed.
