the problem i see is that islam is going to fight you. whether you like it or not

@shadowlessnexus Disagree.

If you convert, they're fine with you.

@machtyn ah thats what you meant

Yeah

Even if you don't really believe in it. just convert and they'll be cool

No I would leave the country if I was drafted to fight a war against "Islam."

sure ill pray to mecca if they win

Yeah, I could care less.

At least then the women will finally shut up

but im not giving up my waifus

Me neither

come and take them bitch

I don't have waifus. I own a Tenga and that's all I need.

If they take our waifus that's when we go to war

they can take our lives. but they can never take **OUR WAIFUS**

We will nuke the heretics for trying to take our waifus

Our god Haruhi Suzumiya will show no mercy to the waifu stealing heretics

Do you guys see anything bad with a lifestyle where you never buy a house but instead save/invest 50%+ of your income and move around every 3 years for a new/higher-paying job?

nothing except the fact that you'll never have a place you call home

but people have different wants / needs so you do you

Honestly, home doesn't mean anything to me. I enjoy wherever I live ever since emancipating myself at 16.

It's all the same. The difference is I'll be able to have total freedom to chase better jobs or opportunities.

hey i'm not attacking your viewpoint i'm just saying it means a lot to some people

I'm not saying you attacked me. I agree with ya. I just have never associated with that word past indifference.

I have a few friends who own a ton of land and have huge families.

I like that lifestyle too, just not for me.

Pros of renting means youre liquid, and can move easily for whatever reason you need to

Cons of owning means you cant move as quick, and youre also locked into a mortgage that changes on the market. So potebtially you could be upside down on one

Yeah, if I ever want to "settle down" or work "remote" in a comfy senior engineering role... I may buy.

Correction: value of property changes with market, mortgages are fixed

Yeah, I see what you're saying and agree.

I hear ya. Honestly, I think renting is best if youre single. Depends on your lifestyle too

If I had a family, house is better if I had a stable gig. If I am just a single dude always chasing that money... I see NO upside to buying unless my job is locked to a specific location like a trade. A union usually is one state or local city. In that case, I'd buy a cheap ass house and stash the cash 😉

Or, like @ecks said... if I value a "home" and that tradition.

Even if I worked remote as an engineer.. I'd still probably rent because usually cities have MUCH faster internet.

Plus, if I worked remote, I could sell my car and bike/walk to any destination depending on city (using Chicago as example).

@KenneticEnergy I guess if I had a lot of stuff and toys, buying would be better too to store it all...

Yeah, I mean I might buy a small house if its just me and my job is locked into one place

I like the idea of being king of my own castle lol

Yeah, that's true. I guess if I find a job I actually like more than 3 years... I'd buy a house. I think I still don't know what "niche" within technology I like enough so I keep exploring.
