Nothing is stronger than the bond between a girl and a piece of media they brushed off 10 years ago that they now realized is the greatest thing ever made

[bitchthefuck1]

you know what, I actually will talk about this because it's bothering me. The issue with focussing so heavily on syd and carmy's potential for a romantic relationship isn't that there's something inherently unintellectual about romance or whatever, it's that a lot of people seem incapable of doing that without immediately flattening the story and ignoring or intentionally misreading any and all nuance for the sake of that romance. Every scene suddenly becomes about how it impacts their relationship, every analysis is done through a romantic lens, every frame or line of dialogue becomes about finding some easter egg or hint that "proves" these people should start dating. Their dynamic is absolutely a fundamental part of this show, but if you can only see it as a will-they-won't-they, you miss so much of what the story is actually trying to say with these two.

There are good versions of this story where their relationship is romantic and there are good versions of this story where it isn't, but as soon as you decide them being together is "the point," you lose the ability to actually judge the story for what it is, not what you want it to be.

What the Hell !

[fatehbaz]

[T]he Dutch Republic, like its successor the Kingdom of the Netherlands, [...] throughout the early modern period had an advanced maritime [trading, exports] and (financial) service [banking, insurance] sector. Moreover, Dutch involvement in Atlantic slavery stretched over two and a half centuries. [...] Carefully estimating the scope of all the activities involved in moving, processing and retailing the goods derived from the forced labour performed by the enslaved in the Atlantic world [...] [shows] more clearly in what ways the gains from slavery percolated through the Dutch economy. [...] [This web] connected them [...] to the enslaved in Suriname and other Dutch colonies, as well as in non-Dutch colonies such as Saint Domingue [Haiti], which was one of the main suppliers of slave-produced goods to the Dutch economy until the enslaved revolted in 1791 and brought an end to the trade. [...] A significant part of the eighteenth-century Dutch elite was actively engaged in financing, insuring, organising and enabling the slave system, and drew much wealth from it. [...] [A] staggering 19% (expressed in value) of the Dutch Republic's trade in 1770 consisted of Atlantic slave-produced goods such as sugar, coffee, or indigo [...].

---

One point that deserves considerable emphasis is that [this slave-based Dutch wealth] [...] did not just depend on the increasing output of the Dutch Atlantic slave colonies. By 1770, the Dutch imported over fl.8 million worth of sugar and coffee from French ports. [...] [T]hese [...] routes successfully linked the Dutch trade sector to the massive expansion of slavery in Saint Domingue [the French colony of Haiti], which continued until the early 1790s when the revolution of the enslaved on the French part of that island ended slavery.

Before that time, Dutch sugar mills processed tens of millions of pounds of sugar from the French Caribbean, which were then exported over the Rhine and through the Sound to the German and Eastern European ‘slavery hinterlands’.

---

Coffee and indigo flowed through the Dutch Republic via the same trans-imperial routes, while the Dutch also imported tobacco produced by slaves in the British colonies, [and] gold and tobacco produced [by slaves] in Brazil [...]. The value of all the different components of slave-based trade combined amounted to a sum of fl.57.3 million, more than 23% of all the Dutch trade in 1770. [...] However, trade statistics alone cannot answer the question about the weight of this sector within the economy. [...] 1770 was a peak year for the issuing of new plantation loans [...] [T]he main processing industry that was fully based on slave-produced goods was the Holland-based sugar industry [...]. It has been estimated that in 1770 Amsterdam alone housed 110 refineries, out of a total of 150 refineries in the province of Holland. These processed approximately 50 million pounds of raw sugar per year, employing over 4,000 workers. [...] [I]n the four decades from 1738 to 1779, the slave-based contribution to GDP alone grew by fl.20.5 million, thus contributing almost 40% of all growth generated in the economy of Holland in this period. [...]

---

These [slave-based Dutch commodity] chains ran from [the plantation itself, through maritime trade, through commodity processing sites like sugar refineries, through export of these goods] [...] and from there to European metropoles and hinterlands that in the eighteenth century became mass consumers of slave-produced goods such as sugar and coffee. These chains tied the Dutch economy to slave-based production in Suriname and other Dutch colonies, but also to the plantation complexes of other European powers, most crucially the French in Saint Domingue [Haiti], as the Dutch became major importers and processers of French coffee and sugar that they then redistributed to Northern and Central Europe. [...]

The explosive growth of production on slave plantations in the Dutch Guianas, combined with the international boom in coffee and sugar consumption, ensured that consistently high proportions (19% in 1770) of commodities entering and exiting Dutch harbors were produced on Atlantic slave plantations. [...] The Dutch economy profited from this Atlantic boom both as direct supplier of slave-produced goods [from slave plantations in the Dutch Guianas, from Dutch processing of sugar from slave plantations in French Haiti] and as intermediary [physically exporting sugar and coffee] between the Atlantic slave complexes of other European powers and the Northern and Central European hinterland.

Behind F1's Velvet Curtain

This article by Kate Wagner on her INEOS sponsored trip to the Austin GP at COTA last year was commissioned by Road and Track magazine and then taken down. Presumably because Kate has was pretty staunch in her opinions about what was essentially a paid trip.

It is exactly the kind of thing I have wanted to read about the felt experience of the money business of F1. It doesn't get into technicalities and does not produce any spreadsheets for reference. It's just, her experience of the presence of wealth in the sport.

She starts off by talking about how she has been covering cycling and NASCAR for a while now and both of those, in comparison, are scrappier sports with smaller sponsors and cheaper tickets.

What I also especially loved was how fascinated she was with the cars themselves, and how they seem like a true marvel of human engineering. She almost described the cars like these alien beasts that came into this dimension out of nowhere and were being constantly monitored and dueled with to furnish wins and glory (and shareholder value for sponsors).

I think I always had an understanding of the weird myth making surrounding F1 and the kind of media attention it attracts, but someone like Kate (who I have loved reading for a while now) putting it into perspective really made it click for me. This sport thrives off of the kind of cocoon it has built around it and understands exactly the certain exclusiveness it needs to maintain to keep the story alive.

Anyway, give it a read, especially because Road and Track is trying to bury it to not piss off sponsors.

VA Mortgage Transfer: Understanding the Process and Benefits

Transferring a VA mortgage can be a significant decision for both veterans and active service members. Whether you are moving to a new home or seeking better loan terms, understanding the VA mortgage transfer process can help you make informed choices. At Thelivelead, we aim to provide you with all the necessary information to navigate this process smoothly.

What is a VA Mortgage Transfer?

A VA mortgage transfer, also known as a VA loan assumption, allows a borrower to transfer their existing VA home loan to another eligible veteran or service member. This process can be beneficial for both the current homeowner and the new borrower. The original borrower is relieved of the mortgage obligation, while the new borrower benefits from the favorable terms of the existing VA loan.

Benefits of a VA Mortgage Transfer

1. No Down Payment for the New Borrower

One of the primary advantages of a VA loan assumption is that the new borrower can take over the loan without needing to make a down payment. This benefit makes homeownership more accessible for veterans and active-duty service members who may not have significant savings.

2. Lower Interest Rates

VA loans often come with lower interest rates compared to conventional mortgages. By assuming an existing VA loan, the new borrower can potentially secure a lower rate than what is currently available in the market, leading to significant savings over the life of the loan.

3. Simplified Qualification Process

The qualification process for a VA loan assumption can be less stringent than applying for a new mortgage. The new borrower may find it easier to qualify based on the original loan's terms and conditions, which can expedite the home-buying process.

4. Avoiding Closing Costs

In many cases, the closing costs associated with assuming a VA loan are lower than those for obtaining a new mortgage. This reduction in costs can make the transaction more affordable for the new borrower.

The VA Mortgage Transfer Process

1. Determine Eligibility

Before proceeding with a VA mortgage transfer, it's essential to determine if the new borrower is eligible for a VA loan. Eligibility is typically extended to veterans, active-duty service members, and certain members of the National Guard and Reserves. The new borrower must also obtain a Certificate of Eligibility (COE) from the Department of Veterans Affairs.

2. Contact the Lender

The current homeowner should contact their lender to discuss the possibility of a VA loan assumption. The lender will provide information on the specific requirements and documents needed for the process. It is crucial to ensure that the lender approves the assumption before proceeding.

3. Submit Required Documentation

The new borrower will need to submit various documents to the lender, including proof of income, credit history, and the COE. The lender will review these documents to assess the new borrower's ability to assume the loan.

4. Credit and Income Verification

The lender will perform a credit and income verification to ensure that the new borrower can meet the loan's obligations. This step is essential to protect both the lender and the borrower from potential financial difficulties.

5. Assumption Agreement

Once the lender approves the assumption, an assumption agreement is drafted. This legal document outlines the terms and conditions of the loan transfer. Both the current homeowner and the new borrower must sign this agreement to finalize the process.

6. Transfer of Property Title

The final step in the VA mortgage transfer process is the transfer of the property title. This step ensures that the new borrower becomes the legal owner of the property and is responsible for the mortgage payments moving forward.

Important Considerations

1. Remaining Entitlement

When a VA loan is assumed, the original borrower's VA loan entitlement may remain tied to the property unless the new borrower is a veteran and substitutes their entitlement. This situation can impact the original borrower's ability to obtain another VA loan in the future.

2. Due-on-Sale Clause

Some VA loans include a due-on-sale clause, which means the loan must be paid in full if the property is sold or transferred. It's crucial to review the original loan agreement and consult with the lender to understand any potential implications.

3. Negotiating Terms

The terms of the VA loan assumption, such as the interest rate and loan duration, may be negotiable. It's advisable for both parties to discuss and agree on these terms to ensure a mutually beneficial arrangement.

Conclusion

Transferring a VA mortgage can be an excellent option for both current homeowners and prospective buyers. With benefits like no down payment, lower interest rates, and a simplified qualification process, a VA loan assumption can make homeownership more accessible and affordable. At Thelivelead, we are committed to helping veterans and service members navigate the VA mortgage transfer process with ease. If you have any questions or need assistance, our team of experts is here to support you every step of the way.
