they told him to go get a different loan and pay the remaining
but due to his bad credit history... couldn't get one

the house is lost
all those years and payment down the drain
those volunteer hour they work is for nothing


pretty sad situation

General Discussion / NPR CEO....

« Last post by Hung_Low on Today at 01:11:07 PM »

Meet the new CEO of NPR, Katherine Maher... NO, she's not the wife or related to Bill Maher at all.

This is her in 2022 during a TED Talk, when she was CEO of Wikipedia...

"The places where we are prime to disagreements? Say politics and religion. As it turns out, not only does Wikipedia's model work there, it actually works really well. Because in our normal lives, these contentioius conversations tend to erupt over disagreement over what the truth actually is. But the people who write these articles are not focused on the truth, they're focused on something else, which is the best of what we can know right now. After seven years of working with these brilliant folks, I've come to believe they are on to something.

Perhaps, on our most tricky disagreements, seeking the truth and seeking to convince others of the truth might not be the right place to start.

Our reverence for the truth might be a distraction that is getting in the way of finding common ground and getting things done. That is not to say that the truth doesn't exist or to say that the truth isn't important. Clearly the search for the truth has led us to do great things... [but] one reason we have such glorious chronicles to the human experience and all forms of culture is because we acknowledge there are many different truths. I'm certain that the truth exists for you. And probably for the person sitting next to you. But this may not be the same truth."

This is the direction NPR is heading... Not to go after truth/fact. I mean, she already suspended a senior editor that wrote a scathing article about NPR and the direction it's headed... Progressive bias. He later resigned from NPR.

She had posted to Twitter her distaste for Trump - calling him a racist without any proof and minimizing the 2022 riots... "Summer of Love" as Lefties/Demmies claimed.

General Relationship / Re: When your ex is now with the family friend, they were already cheating

« Last post by Believe_N_Me on Today at 12:12:16 PM »

I know a pair whose tumultuous situationship started out as FWB. They were already micro cheating while she was married and he was a newly divorced man whom she invited to help with her business. Needless to say, he made a financially-motivated decision to move in with her after her divorce. However, she was extremely insecure and suspicious of all his female contacts because she knew that if he cheated with her, why wouldn't he do the same with another female friend/business colleague? I haven't told her but, "yes" I can confirm that he does in fact cheat with some of these female friends/professional colleagues. He doesn't get physical with all of them and not all of them are open to cheating. But for sure, he has at least one or two that he is cheating with. So she isn't crazy for thinking so.

General Relationship / Re: When your ex is now with the family friend, they were already cheating

For me personally, I don't have much respect for those who sleep with a friend/coworker and then go on to date them. It shows that they have very little integrity and can't be trusted to have a social circle since you never know who they're going to hook up with. It almost seems that these people do go on to date other people in their social circle when the other situationship ends.

If a person has a history of FWB, I'd question the dynamic of all their opposite-sex friendships. And you can bet that even if they aren't having sex, they are emotionally micro-cheating with at least one of their so-called friend.

General Discussion / Re: Sure Wedding was held & Hmong girl was married off but hope she's not trafficked

« Last post by Hung_Low on Today at 10:16:31 AM »

Was talking to a Hmong guy I know from Vietnam... he says his oldest sister was married off to a Chinese man too. But it turned out to be a trafficking thing... luckily she eventually landed a good Chinese man and started a family. He says that they came back to visit the family in Vietnam after 10yrs of being gone and they were happy she found a good husband.

General Discussion / Has anyone tried the Wood Milk yet?

« Last post by Hung_Low on Today at 10:10:05 AM »

I was wondering if it's like Soy Milk, Almond Milk, Vegan Milk, etc etc

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C4klWmwC2ds

I think the process is the same as extracting almond, soy, etc etc for it's milk content but it's real tree that are being milked to get at the white juice for the wood milk.

I'm going to go out and buy me one to try

General Discussion / Re: No Difference

« Last post by Hung_Low on Today at 09:40:20 AM »

Same with Muslim... I mean, their prophet Muhammad was a pedo and a polygamist. He had 11 wives and married a 6yrs old child @ 53yrs old and slept with her when she turned 9... as is written in Sahih Al-Bukhary. This is a practice that's still practiced in some Muslim dominated countries.

He would fit right in with the Mormon and a great buddy of Brandon 

I'm not defending these horrible acts from these religion but you seem to hold Islam at a higher standard... I'm just pointing out that they are just as bad as these other religions.
