Everything is racist apparently. Many black Americans really believe the propaganda they've been indoctrinated with. I see the most benign things called racist on a daily basis in real life. Anecdotally on a work trip several months ago a co-worker and I stopped at a gas station. Newports were 4 dollars over the going rate. I was confused initially. He immediately said it was racism. Then I pointed out to him we're at a gas station right of the interstate. Everything is more expensive than usual. Not even faded. It was racism. And that's just one silly example.
Remember, years ago, when Anita Sarkeesian said, "Everything is racist, everything is sexist, and you have to point it all out." Well, they've been telling us for years what they believe, and what they were gonna do.
This was my shtick throughout the 00s. Apparently joking that something is racist when you are clearly joking, is actually racist. They have a word for it and everything now, hell if I remember what it was, but it was stupid.
Nah just be self-employed in a business that doesn’t even have a public face. Real estate appraising for instance. My clients are banks and lenders. I don’t advertise. There’s no way to figure out which banks I work with, and if one drops me, there are a lot more.
A perfect time for me to see this. Not trying to hijack any conversation, but I am in Alabama and about to start my licensing classes for my trainee license. May I ask, are you in commercial or residential appraisals? And do you think it’s worth going all of the way to get a certified general license? Or start in residential and see where that goes? Thank you for any input you may have!
I’m in Residential. For someone with a higher level of motivation than me, getting the general license is probably worth it. My buddy does commercial/it pays really well, but it’s much more in depth. I analyze comparable sales and come up with an opinion of value, and residential is pretty much always the highest and best use for a property I’m working on. He’s got to actually analyze what the highest and best use for a property is and do income approaches on gas stations, which involves going over all of their financials Etc., and if he gets something wrong, the ripples from that are much bigger/there’s more pressure.
Thanks so much for the response and insight. I really appreciate you taking the time to give me an answer that will definitely help me as I start off into a potential career in appraisals. I’m gonna start off with it and see where it takes me. Anything is possible! Much love to you and I hope the best for you and your career my friend.
Yeah no problem! I know it’s a complete mystery to most ppl/it was for me when I was getting started, even after spending a few years processing mortgage loans beforehand.
It’s kind of a pain to get started, but worth it, imo. Your best bet is searching for appraisers in your area/getting in touch with them to see if they are looking for a trainee. The bureaucracy dictates that you have to be a trainee for 1 year or 1,000 hours (you keep a log of the amount of time each appraisal takes).
So depending on who you’re working for/how much they pay a trainee/how busy it is, that first year can be pretty lean. After you’re certified though, it’s pretty great (assuming it stays busy) because I can get 2 or 3 reports finished before 1pm (after having inspected them earlier, which takes about .5-1.0 hours per house), and then I go home.
When it’s not busy, it can also get pretty lean, but once you’re on your own/taking the entire fee (minimum $450 per report), you don’t need to do too many to keep your head above water.
The government’s barriers to entry keep a lot of ppl from getting started, and lenders may at some point decide that AI can do it (it can’t), which is a risk.
You don't know it, but I just slammed this down my son's throat. he has been whining about not able to find a job. In GA, it is 90 hours of class and pass the test. So, I am kicking him the shins.
I run the maintenance shop and we got an email from someone about one of my techs being racist. The title of the email was "YOUR EMPLOYING RACIST DO THE RIGHT THING" Cancel culture comes for us all eventually.
I am pretty much to the point where I avoid any political discussion with black liberals. Racism is their go-to for any hint of opposition to the Black Lives Matter agenda and, frankly, I think these people are potentially violent. I don’t even want them to know where I live.
I've had someone say they're screenshotting my 'racist' comments and sending them to my university, all while threatening me and telling me to kms. Then I fine, please let me know what university I'm going to. This is precisely the reason I don't have any of my info about that online, it can all be used against us.
I wonder what the racist remarks were?
Probably "I support Trump" or "All lives matter"
You know, stuff that's not actually racist.

Seems pretty racist of him to stereotype black people into smoking Newports.
Considering he's black and smokes Newports.
If i had a dollar for every black person I've met that smokes Newports and/or drinks Henny...
Lifelong cigarette addiction but covid is racist lol
Send these things over to 4chan and unleash our weaponized autist brethren upon them. More productive than the lawyers and FBI.
Send them stories I have? And do what with it?
Even failure to express support for BLM is racist. A “friend” on Facebook made that clear to me.

I fight back against this daily by calling the most absurd stuff racist and making people laugh about it.
"Why's it gotta be black? That's racist as hell. Purple eyes matter!"
"Black lab? That's racist as hell. It's African-American lab, you nazi."
"Why are you such a racist against outs of color? You don't seem upset about that white-out on your desk, you fascist. mmmmmhm. Racist as hell."
It helps to turn the "Racist as hell" into a catch phrase with a looooong southern drawl - "Racist as Hail"

How do I get into that? I love math and money, and I'm a quick learner as far as the rest of it I'm sure!!!
There should be a regulatory agency for your state with a website that will show you the licenses and names (Maybe even contact info) of appraisers.
In Texas its TALCB https://www.talcb.texas.gov/licensing-information

Nice to know. Thank you
You also have to keep track of your own FICA/Medicare/taxes and pay quarterly.

"You'll have to get me a job before you can make me lose it. I'm retired"
What a mad lad
"Now you about to go viral now."
Sure thing, Sport.
well yes, but not in the way he intended...
Mighty presumptuous of you to assume he has a job to lose....
Must be that white privilege I keep hearing about
Fuck. These. People.
It took me a long time to understand that the whole "White Fragility" thing was projection. Shit like this happens CONSTANTLY.
Dox these mother fuckers? YES! I love it. Fuck this Bob Owen guy and I don't even know him.
What a bundle of flaming sticks
Is doing away with verbs part of the dindu agenda?
It, yes.
Is it against the rules on TDW to drop a link to this fool?
the "adult" version of "i told the teacher on you and you're gonna get in trouble"

Alton, MO or IL?
IL
Who does this!? How pathetic
I just imagined Tucker's voice/expression while reading "racist remarks on Facebook!".
Sounds like NAACP alton chapter needs to be investigated for hate crimes for targeting someone based on political affiliation
