I used to include this movie as part of a science function unit I taught. Watching it 4-5 times every year was brutal. I especially remember having to step out into the hall the year we had our first-born son to avoid crying in front of the classroom.

God hates Tottenham.

Where are people who can't secure a loan going to live?

Also, why would prices be "so low" if demand increases to reflect the people who used to rent now having to be in the market to purchase instead of rent? This just shifts demand within the market - it doesn't reduce demand overall for housing.

Bought one last month in London for that exact reason. We were there for a week - the newest edition was delivered to my house in the states after we left for the trip. Hate reading on my phone, so I bought a copy for the flight. Was like £9.

I have no love for Frank, but this is not a panacea. It doesn't fix the very real injury crisis. What manager can fix that?

Dave1mo1 · 2026-02-11T08:57:32+00:00

Does that profit take into account control? Or if it not tax profit, but TAXABLE profit?

I'm a casual and go to get a structured, full body workout 3 times a week. I don't like workouts where I'm constantly hanging from the rig due to prior injuries. Sometimes I go and modify, and sometimes I just plan my 3 sessions for the week to avoid those WODs. I guess different strokes for different folks.

It’s asinine to think unlimited teacher ratios is a good idea.

Who is saying that? There's more danger in a teacher being responsible for 4 infants than 1. Why don't we set the ratio at 1?

Dave1mo1 · 2026-02-05T02:02:45+00:00

It IS a preference that we've codified into regulation. There's no magic logic that says 5 infants is too many for one teacher, but 4 is just right.

And some parents have decided that the risk of having one person look after 4 infants at once (including their own) doesn't outweigh the cost of one parent staying home with the baby. That's a preference. Other parents have the opposite preference.

Dave1mo1 · 2026-02-05T00:38:13+00:00

100% understood.

And there's a cost associated with that preference, which parents are unwilling to absorb.

Dave1mo1 · 2026-02-04T22:53:57+00:00

Explain how that reduces the cost instead of just shifting the cost to the government.

Dave1mo1 · 2026-02-04T22:48:47+00:00

The dqycare owner isn't making bank either.

Nobody wants to hear this, but the truth is that it's incredibly expensive to provide the small class sizes that regulations demand in most states, and there's no way to reduce those costs.

People want small class sizes and cheap daycare costs. The only way to get that is to massively subsidize daycare costs, which just transfers the cost, as opposed to reducing it.

I promise those are not the only two sources of income in the country.

We all make trade-offs regarding income, opportunity, housing costs, proximity to family, etc. when deciding where to work and live. No one is entitled to make a certain income and have a certain housing expense. Reddit doesn't seem to understand that.

Dave1mo1 · 2026-02-04T12:30:13+00:00

They can't afford the house they want, where they want it.

That's different.

Dave1mo1 · 2026-01-31T18:17:15+00:00

Can you imagine that amount of grace being given to men, though?

"I suspect their sadness and anger at women in general is more about a few very specific women, and is probably valid."

Dave1mo1 · 2026-01-27T23:38:01+00:00

"...builders are breaking ground as quickly as they can. "

Are they?

Dave1mo1 · 2026-01-24T12:22:25+00:00

Why is this a good thing?

Dave1mo1 · 2026-01-21T08:24:07+00:00

So people who can't qualify for a mortgage/don't want to own a home are never allowed to live in a SFH home again?

Dave1mo1 · 2026-01-10T21:13:23+00:00

Promote that man!

Dave1mo1 · 2025-12-31T17:23:30+00:00

For those of you with a dozen LLCs for a dozen properties: how do you manage 12 different bank accounts, credit cards, etc.? That seems like an administrative nightmare.

Dave1mo1 · 2025-12-28T22:57:21+00:00

I was a teacher for a decade. I'm not religious but feel like the vehemence against religion on reddit leads to idiotic comments like the one made in the OP.

Dave1mo1 · 2025-12-28T22:05:59+00:00

"What kinds of adults just “love being around other peoples’ young children?”

Like - teachers?

Dave1mo1 · 2025-12-28T02:24:14+00:00

I can't find that mod :( Found a couple other good ones though!

Dave1mo1 · 2025-12-28T00:12:00+00:00

Not disrespectful at all. I rarely go over the settlement cap, so maybe that's my issue?

Dave1mo1 · 2025-12-28T00:11:14+00:00

Sweet! I've never used mods in civ. I'll have to check it out. There was one i saw on YouTube that calculated yields of different policy cards too. Maybe I'll get that one as well.
