The reason why that happens is because these new windows are almost airtight, if you have no air conditioning or do not open your windows from time to time for air/heat/humidity exchange this may happen if you heat your apartment like a mad old couple.

That's the thing that nobody ever considers when they say shit like "there are enough empty houses in the US for every homeless person".
Those people aren't homeless because they can't find a place to live, they are homeless because they are unhouseable. It's been shown time and time again that if you give them a place to live on their own, they will destroy the place. Human shit everywhere, needles, trash, etc. They're mentally ill, and need to be in a mental institution where they will be cared for, not just provided with gibs.

There are decent people who are section 8 recipients, but the reality is that you run a massive risk of getting one of the many shitbags who will destroy your property and stick you with the bill.

the author of dilbert comics suggested a theory that most people act as idiots in certain situations so the perceived percentage of idiots may be much higher which would contradict the definition of IQ. that said, most people (certainly much more than 50%) believe that they are above average (smarter/better/prettier etc).

>> No.1626333

Most people probably are above average in at least one metric, even qualitative ones.
For example, I know I'm above average height and I earn above average income, but those are hard numbers. I'm probably above average intelligence, based on my accomplishments and test scores, but I could also be a savant and just really obsessive.

People tend to overestimate themselves when it comes to qualitative attributes. It seems like everyone says they're smarter than average (but not book smarts, like common sense tee hee), more likeable than average, just overall "better". Honestly, that confidence can often result in success and opportunity on its own.

On a side note, I think it would be eye opening to see how many people you interact with in daily life are in the 80s and 70s IQ range.

>In the last 20 years, the probability that an individual would leave the bottom quintile was 30 percentage points higher for those with more than a high school diploma compared to those who never graduated, making education the most significant driver of upward intragenerational mobility.
>Working more hours has also drives upward intragenerational economic mobility. Between 1994 and 2004, working an additional 1,000 hours over the course of a year increased the probability an individual would leave the bottom quintile by 12.5 percentage points; the probability was just five percentage points in the previous 10-year period.

That’s ridiculous, same with the Harvard admissions making it more difficult for Asians to get in and basically all other colleges letting unqualified brown people in to their schools.

>>The average IQ is what the average of IQ is defined at
That's not how IQ tests work in practice. They're not recalibrated for every demographic group. They're calibrated so that 100 is about the average for large, mostly-white places like the US as a whole. And they're not recalibrated every year, so it can be meaningful to say that average IQ can change over time. This results in different demographics and different places having substantially different average IQ scores. The score for mental retardation was lowered because one major demographic group in the US averages about 85.

And that's entirely reasonable. There's no need to lock more people up because they are "mentally ill" all the while not providing any diagnosis or treatment for them. You are locking them up solely for behaviors you don't like but aren't even criminal! That's some authoritarian fascist level shit that guy you are responding to is advocating.

Ronnie get's the blame, but of course no one came up with a good alternative solution - for going on what, 40 years now? Asylums are necessary.

There’s a big difference between the mentally ill, the drug addicts, and the dindus who are just too lazy to work.

I was friends with a dude a few years back who was a homeless crackhead. Dude got clean, got a job, I had him over at my house for thanksgiving dinner. Within 6mos he was making enough money to get out of a halfway house and find his own apartment. Then he got upset over some petty shit and went out and started getting high. You can give these people chances to get out of those situations for the first month or two and teach them how to fish, but you can’t support them their entire lives.

I honestly wonder about this too. Like your chances will be worse if you were born to a crack whore in the hood, but my views on this stuff change as I get older.

I used to think that the nog attitude it just because they grew up in the hood. But as time goes by I think that the shitty hood is a product of the nog attitude. You could send those people to the suburbs and give them a bank account with unlimited funds and it would quickly turn to hell. And you could take their children and stick them with good parents in a nice neighborhood and they would do much better but not as well as the good parents’ own children. There was a screengrab that pops up of some longposts from some anon who did work in Africa. They gave the people everything they needed for a sustainable healthy and well fed community and they taught them exactly what to do. Anon comes back a year later and finds the Africans traded their seeds and fertilizer for worthless trinkets they think are magic. You can teach a man to fish, but if he trades his only fishing rod for some beads, the man deserves to starve.

But nobody wants to even get into this discussion if you suggest that these peoples’ lives are shitty because of reasons that can’t be fixed by handouts from Dems.

Its quite literally both, and its not exclusive to niggers.
Same goes for the white trailer trash who live off of the government wont dont work.

You grow up seeing poor decision making, its normal to you. You make the same mistakes your parents did because you dont know any better.
A lot of times those decisions have lasting effects that make life even more difficult. Easy to just give up and live in poverty.

Sex drugs and fighting are cool, education is bad.
That kid you had at 16 because you didnt have sex education, or that tattoo on your neck or hand, or that felony you got from assaulting someone. Things that are commonplace where you grew up, things you didnt truly understand the long term consequences of make living an honest life HARD.

And with that said, there are still a lot of people who grew up in those bad situations and moved on up.
Education, and trying to turn around that "nog" attitude is the only way things will ever get better.

Thats what a lot of those social programs exist for, in conjunction with those handouts.
Its not about the drug addict parents who are too far gone, its about the kid who abstains and moves onto being a functioning part of society.

Stopping the handouts wont fix the people who are too far gone, itll make them worse criminals. All itll really do is take away any chance of those unfortunate kids who have a chance to get away from it all.

A great step in the right direction would be overhauling the welfare system.

>give someone $1000 a month in welfare if they make very little money.
>if they get a slightly better job (which still isnt really enough to live on) they get that $1000 of welfare taken away.
A big net loss in their income, one that requires a mid level job making ok money to hurdle. Jobs that require hard work to get to, and when you take that big of a hit in your income which could takes years to rebound from, welfare encourages people to be lazy.

A universal basic income is really what we need.
>stop welfare, give every citizen $1000 a month, no strings attached (including you and me)
>people who had qualified for welfare before are now getting the same assistance money, but are in no danger of losing it if they work more or get a higher paying job
>money becomes disposable cash for a lot of people, goes directly back into your local economy, which helps create more jobs, which lessens the tax burden of the program when there are more sales taxes and more tax paying workers popping up

Sure, if you want to live on that money alone and not work like a lazy nigger then you can. But it helps shift the idea of "being held down" to "being helped out", which a shift in ideology for the poor is what needs to happen.

And trust me, I worked at Kmart in a bad area. People know exactly how many hours they could work before their benefits were cut. They were like finance majors when it came to getting their benefits, since they all had a bunch of kids.

I pity them, but I also know they would have worked themselves to death if they could have gotten over that hump. But not everyone is cut out for working construction like this board seems to think.

Fun fact - in communist Poland (probably rest of the soviet block too) architects designing commie blocks took into account that wooden windows arent 100% air tight, and they served as minimal ventilation.

For the most part: no it won't.

The the market for essentials will see little to none of that extra money because everybody is buying them already. Otherwise that stuff wouldn't be essential.

A lot of people tried to argue in the same way in Germany. Guess what. Minimum wage came and nothing of the anticipated bad stuff happened. For the lower income people it was the single most important political decision of the last 20 years though. Also a lot of people had fear of loosing a lot of jobs but i think a job which doesn't provide enough to live on is worthless for the society. In the end society has to pay that way or another.

This 1000$ a month thing isn't that far off from reality. We have cities where 20-25% are living of the welfare system (e.g. Berlin) which is basically getting your rent etc. payed and about 500$ to spend. It's probably around 1200-1500$ each month depending on where you live.

Oh you ground plebs just don't get it. That is why you are ground level plebs.
Lazy niggers in nearly condemned housing are a gold mine for land lords if you know what you are doing. Way more profitable that actual middle class whitey 9to5 cubicle white picket fence family cuck who pay their bills always on time.

I work for a land lord and make lease paperwork and collect rents from welfare niggers in several of our run down houses, where nobody but dark gutter rats sets a foot ever

Doesn't make sense to you, does it?
Well it's really easy.
So let's you have a decent apartment in normal house that rents normally for $500 a month. That is what you can rent it for at most, because whitey won't pay more than that
You can have say 10 of such apartments that fit in a house because if they were smaller you would have to rent them for less obviously.
So normal market prices, small margins for extra profits.

Enter the gibs niggers.

You buy a run down derelict junkie squatter infested apartment building that is ready to crumble down at any moment and pay next to nothing for it because it is in the ghetto, it is a hell hole and no decent white cuck goy will want to live there.
So you move in the lazy penniless gibs niggers into these tiny apartments, and since they are so small you can have like 40 of them in one building, and then charge $1000 a pop in rent.
You see, in here (and most 1st world countries) welfare leeches can apply for housing gibs and it works like this: state pays 80% of the rent and the gibs nigger pays the rest. Of course nigger has no money so he won't pay you anything, but despite that you are now making $800 in rent an apartment that is worth barely $50. That all times fifty for the whole building, which you bought for next to nothing, so you will return your investment in months basically.
Compare that that to the building where your profit is 10 * $500 and you bought it for normal market price and your investment return is 10 years.

That's literally what a tax return is. If you pay more tax over the year than you owe (via an excessive payroll deduction, say), you file a form to work out how much extra the government has collected from you, and should now RETURN to you. Functionally, this is an interest-free loan to the government on your part, and if you have something productive to do with the money, you would be better off with no deductions, instead just paying everything in a lump sum.

They CALLED and arranged to have this done themselves, it's on Comcast for not letting them know that utility marking is part of the deal if anything. As a contractor who regularly has access issues with unreasonable tenants, some people will 100% have a problem with 95% of contractors/workers before they even get there.
>but it's your job
Yeah, just like it's a police officers job to get shot. It's a part of the job that I would rather avoid. I have no problem going out of my way for someone who's respectful and happy to see me, but I really don't want to do anything above my job description (i.e. babysit, lifecoach, stand-in man-of-the-house) for someone who's a sourpuss right off the bat and is determined to ruin my day. I sometimes run 5+ jobs in a day, if I give every prick the time of day they demand all the rest of the jobs at least that day will likely suffer either through my mental exhaustion or time waste.

How about some NOT client stories? I'm a smaller contractor and find myself browsing through places like Ace or Home Depot for fiddly bits - especially for coolers and filters there's an Ace around the corner just about everywhere until you get pretty far out of town, and I'd rather pay double contractors price than drive. The thing is a lot of assholes see a blue collar guy and think it's okay to pick my brain (it is mostly okay for nice people), or just treat me like I work there.

I was just browsing all over Home Depot right now for all kinds of crap, but a guy walked up to me in the cooler section as I priced some stuff and asked what type of pads he should use. We don't do a lot of coolers, so I gave a shrug and showed him the ones we use and tried to tell him if there was a difference, it was a matter of preference probably for avoiding scale buildup.
>glazes over halfway through my very practiced unpaid speech
>sorry I thought you were a professional
>turns 180 and walks away

We mostly do AC work now which pays a LOT more, and people aren't willing to pay us for the time taken away from our AC jobs for their shitty cooler jobs. it's hard to explain to some people basic economics without working them up and it's even harder to explain to people that are at Home Depot trying to DIY while I'm on break trying to decompress from actual paying customers. I'm never wearing the color of the employees of any of the stores, I never shop at Lowes and that's the only one I could think of with blue. I still address people as if they're customers, because most of my business is word of mouth and they very well could be in the future if not today. Karma is a real thing in this work, and I've drummed up plenty of stuff by patiently helping some bozo I ran into like this.Too many people are just selfish assholes though, and if there's a neck, they've got a smile and a boot. They're not paying me though.

I don't mind having to know code, or be up to date on it. I mind the jewish fucking tactics of trying to catch me off guard at every second and standing behind me like a fucking creep the whole time or grilling me about my credentials. I don't even mind clients who watch me, as long as they seem okay. I let them watch me because I'm confident in my work, but if they're going to play 20 questions with a timer in their hand and a vein in their head while I rewire their control board just so they can catch me fucking up somehow (the harder the better) for a discount, I'll definitely do what I can to not see them again and even leave early. I've never felt compelled to add stress for any reason for any workmen who has ever been to my home. I want them to do a good job and I don't want to be questioning if they did a bad job just because I'm an asshole.

I grew up in a second amendment state, and around here if it's not obviously inviting you go around looking for a doorbell or someone who you can introduce yourself to, and if you don't find one there's usually a pretty good reason. That was just growing up and if you didn't go that route it wasn't always bad, but you couldn't be surprised at a melodramatic reaction. Makes it easy to just yell "EY BESSIE GO GET MY SHOTGUN" and put a stop to shit whenever someone's playing ding dong ditch because that shit holds weight even if you don't even own a gun, or when someone tries to kill you in your own goddamn home and you do own one, but it does bring up gray areas like accidental trespassing like those sad sacks who have drunkenly slumped through the wrong door. In an official capacity it's easy for me, because my job includes talking to the tenant/home owner 95% of the time so I'm required to "officiate" the visit I guess by introducing myself and my company as soon as I arrive.

tl;dr Introduce yourself at first and put it all out on the table for them to see if you're able/allowed. It makes them feel in charge, and hasn't gotten me shot yet.

I'll add that the original comment was about a guy poking his fucking head into someones backyard unannounced. I understand the temptation and I often find myself in similar situations, but privacy is a real issue for a lot of people and especially pet owners and dear god for sure pet parents are super fucking sensitive about their pets. If their dog is aggressive at all, which if their an asshole it probably is, they don't want anyone near it for fear of lawsuits. Ironically they practically bite you when they try to keep you from getting bit by their dog.

If it's a fence that has adequate privacy and no/poor signage, I won't even peek over the fence before making a call. I'm not expecting a red carpet, but they should be expecting me and most people are desperate enough for me to get their stuff going that they'll do just about anything to speed it up - including sitting in their driveway waiting for me to arrive. I know that when I've got a guy coming, someone is at home waiting on them or available unless it's a special circumstance.

Yeah this is on point. Most properly homeless folks haven't simply lost their job, run out of money, or been kicked out of their house. They've exhausted every avenue of alternatively leaving them with nothing but being on the street. This includes halfway houses and friends (even strangers) couches.

Well-meaning naive folks often make the mistake, just once, of taking them in to give them a foothold back into building a life. Then are surprised to find that one night on the couch has transformed into holes in their walls, shit in their teapot, and a dead pet.

>If you only sampled ten people who were all retarded you'd still have an average of 100.
But as I said, that's not how IQ tests work. They're calibrated against, say, the general population of the US. The general population of the US would therefore average 100 (at that particular calibration, but not necessarily at other times), but a group of ten retarded people given the same test would average under 70 (according to current definitions).

Consider the implications of your reasoning. It would be impossible for any individual to score something other than 100 if that were the case. Because if the average is always 100 regardless of sampling, and the average of a single datum is that datum itself, any individual IQ test would always score 100 because it is only referencing the specific individual being tested. That's not how it really works because IQ tests reference some measure of the general population.

God forbid they help people trying to, you know, become successful and accomplished citizens like they want. Taking 3 classes while doing working full time, and I work weekends. In the Reserves too (another meme but benefits) Each weekend I work day in day out, I'm back to working out and staying healthy. I dont get much time off, but I still try to give myself a couple hours for hobbies or a Netflix show.

Funny though how I'm trying to better myself, but the state can't help me....its too busy paying out this dickhead I know who hasn't worked for a year, because 'leg' pain. Fat as fuck because he sits at home playing vidya, and eats shit. The waste of space gets a pittance, MY taxes, while I get boned for paying them cause 'well you make money!

Meanwhile, my 'friends' spend all their earnings drinking. They fret over rent, or losing their jobs for calling out or going in late, sleeping at work...but they're out at the bar til 1 on weekdays, buying coke etc. They bitch about others, life, and money while buying shit fast food because they had 5 shots and 6 beers.

When working for a utility company? Yes.

It's better practice to attempt to notify at the door, hardly anyone ever answers anyway. Even your own customer you're doing work for with an appointment only has like a 75% chance.

Even I wont notify if its a large property and it would be inconvenient to find the house or if I'm just crossing over.

Sometimes theres even an asshole that wont let you on at all. Eg locking gates or dogs and refusing to call back on doortags. Sometimes he tells you no in person and starts cussing.

Only had one that bad once, he was a rich duck and thought I was lying about my purpose. I explained about police and enforcing our easement and he decided he'd let me on but follow me around.
