Macbeth will finally make it as a K-9 cop with loyal companion Officer Pickles at his side, but then face disciplinary action when the captain discovers the words "you're cucked" engraved on the inside of his M4's ejection port cover.

Shortly into Macbeth's trailblazing career as a dynamic officer who connects with the community, Officer Pickles (I) will tragically perish in a melamine-related Chinese kibble accident. Macbeth will then transfer to a school cop position for a respectful period of mourning where he will at least be better able to control the urge to flip children and their desks than his meatheaded predecessor.

More wildly predictive: there he will make out with a teacher on break time, who he will at some point later settle down with. Macbeth Jr. will use the fact that his dad's a cop to bully other kids at school, and join an alt-right internet forum at the tender age of 8 where he will carefully curate a personal gallery of misshapen swastika graffiti.

New apartment building built on the main road of my city. +1 if you can guess the cost of a studio apartment there.

Sorry that is not correct.

The ad says $1875 for a studio. $3400 for 2 bed rooms. 1 bedroom is somewhere in the middle.

You live in NY right? I suppose housing prices over there are also absolutely ridiculous.

No I live outside of NYC in the area within the red box.


For further reference Jay lives in the white area far off to the east/right side of the map.

a 60sq m 1 bed in my building starts at $400k.

The upscale building across the street where all the Chinese new money is start at $650k. Most of the cars in the underground garage cost a little less than that.

i need to exploit labor in a developing country.

America has more space than we have anything to do with. It just cost too much money and energy to build new cities like the Chinese do. And before anyone calls them ghost cities, most eventually have gotten filled up with people over time.

Probably could have built a few cities with the Iraq War money but even if we didn't blow 7 trillion on that we still wouldn't have built new cities anyway.

I spent a little over 600k for a 5 bedroom, 3 bathroom, 2800 square foot house sitting on a half acre. My commute is comparable to a lot of people's that depend on the subway system.

Think of the shareholders Ken.

I think most western countries would have to consider a singapore esque housing model in the very near future. 400k for a 1 bed - just what. Who can pay for that?

we are talking city-centre luxury apartments here. i don't want to sound like 'the market is all-knowing' jay, here, but not every millennial needs a £400k apartment to get on the property ladder.

I assumed he thought he'd become a farmer and land a quad-bike on himself in the first week.

I have been thinking about moving about 1.5 hours from a big city and buying some land for a farm. I just need a few more years of savings for the dough to be able to develop and support it, and of course I'd need to sell my condo and my mom's. I think I'm about 2-3 years away, but who knows? My mind may change again.

Do you know anything about farming?

i assume he means 'an allotment for home-grown root vegetables' and 'an alfalfa patch', not 'open a dairy farm'.

farming sounds like soul-destroying work, and the subsidies are slowly drying up.

Yeah. Not trying to start a business, just want to be self-sustaining
