OT 19: Masks On, Clothes Off, Right Hand Left Titty

[Tar]

So I got a little bit of luck on my what suppose to be a regular day. But nothing too serious, definitely pissed me off thanks to these 2

1) I hailed a cab. We started driving and he was silent, I rode shotgun and he seems like an open minded guy. We witnessed some guy who appeared to be on drugs as he stood like a statue in a very unusual position. Then off he rambles based on how he had druggie customers, then he showed me his baton that he keeps under his seats and tells me this is how I beat up people with. That being said, he is a prime example why I would advice anyone not to drive in Istanbul for someone who doesn't know better. Dude cusses left and right, continues rambles, rambles, rambles. At that point, I got a phone call ( ) and I pretended to be the friends I'm meeting with at a destination nearby. Told the driver the change of plans and about to be on my merry way. Things got worse, he is clearly an Erdogan supporter and tells me that these druggies are Ataturk kids (which who I support/looked up and who brought Turkey to it's secular state and off ottoman empire) Only a kilometer left and boom, road rage with some guy driving a new Citroen because he pulled out (in a normal way for Turkey), at that point, I left him 20 liras (fare was like 18.70 liras) but I decided to just out. Hopped on the metro that was really close so I can get to my actual destination. Fuck that guy.

2) I was at the local brew store to get some saissons and red ale's as there are some made by Turkish companies, which are 5/7. Sours are quite or should I say very hard to find, but luckily I live in a nice part of the city. There was a line outside due to Covid measures to minimize human capacity, with social distancing of course. Until some 22 year old fuck boi cut in front of me along with 4 other people behind me outside, I called him out since I was next in line to get in and things got nearly heated by being mr kevin or karen and screamed his annoying little voice on my face, followed by a push. I told him to fuck off and he goes with the "do you know who I am" and I responded with "that doesn't matter" you wait in line like the rest of us, the other people in line were on my side. He just walked away like have some patience dude. I should also note that there wasn't any mask in sight on him while I wore mine, also the social distancing score would be much worse than average. The staff told me he often comes here and he's always a dick. Wish me luck and hope the bat won't snack on me.

Why are there so many aggressive assholes crossing your path?

Back in Texas! Landed in Austin and we were greeted by 63 degree weather. Feels so good after a week of south Florida heat and humidity.

The pictures are quite something, but I remember these scenarios when I lived in Southern CA. Happened about once a year in different areas it seems. Just part of the normal, but our friends and family are reporting some pretty heat readings the last month or so.

This is not something that has ever happened in modern history. We're setting records.

I literally stood outside of the car for a minute just to enjoy it.

That's so subjective. I'll take Northern MI over anywhere in CA But I know most people are the opposite, and that's cool for them.

Ehhh, don't go that far. It's a really awesome place...to visit.

I’ve seen a handful of those pics in recent days.

If I’m out that way, I’ll check it off to complete the map of states I’ve visited.

I would suggest that you go back and re-read your posts about COVID-19. Don't throw molotov cocktails when you live in a tinderbox.

We have a different thread for that so I am not getting into it here.

It's just a fire. There are fires every year. Sound familiar?

You don't understand how that works.
House is worth $100
Land is worth $100
No one is going to give you insurance for "diminished land value"

When shit goes up in flames, your $100 house now costs $150 to rebuild and your land is now worth 0. So you have "lost" $200 and you get $100 to rebuild something that costs $150 and will resell for $100.

Do you get your $100 insurance pay out and you can re build a smaller house or take the $100 and owe the other $100 to the bank.

You're fucked when it happens. And you'll be left on the hook for the land value to the bank.

No it doesn't.
