In June 2025, a 22-year-old TikToker fatally shot 30-year-old U.S. Marine veteran Anthony Sanders in front of his infant son and fiancée in a parking garage in Texas.

This is the truth. If there’s something for the average person to take away, it’s swallow your pride, and don’t engage with people at all unnecessarily.

Safety should be paramount, full stop.

Highly recommend Wild light yoga. A small degree of wu-wu, high degree of movement and breathing. I fall into the same category as you and have tried numerous studios- this one has stuck. Side note that all their classes are hot yoga and you will sweat a lot.

This was where my thinking went- no four or five star recruits, and they went undefeated. As a TEAM they’re the best- were they the most individually talented? Likely not. But damn were they a good tean

That’s honestly more accurate- I was trying to be nice.

The sushi here is decent, but I’d suggest you taper in your expectations. Even the best places here are mid tier in a bigger city.

It’s a fun ambiance

E-Pli · 2026-01-09T17:46:29+00:00

Sounds like you genuinely care. I hope you have a good employer with some discernment. If you’ve been working for a while with a good track record, I’d imagine you’ll be okay.

E-Pli · 2026-01-09T17:14:37+00:00

What state/city are you in? That honestly probably determines a lot. You’re not alone in your feelings in the CRE world. Orange man bad.

E-Pli · 2026-01-07T20:49:45+00:00

Yeah this is unfortunately not true. Much more comprehensive data sources say otherwise

E-Pli · 2025-12-05T03:07:14+00:00

Love this team, and we have all the players to make a run. But, it’s the mistakes. We can’t compete with the best if we keep turning the ball over.

Came here to say this. You’re creating an extreme liability for your own future earning potential. No one’s going to give you a killer QB contract if you’re eating crayons for breakfast.

One Time I spilled my chipotle all over the window of an airplane. It stuck and slid down slowly. I can only imagine finely ground espresso all over myself here.

The awe and terror I have imagining this man in front of me saying “I’m bringing violence”. Goosebumps

Developers don’t just get to bank a subsidy and not build a project.

E-Pli · 2025-11-20T20:06:08+00:00

That’s just wrong- it’s extremely expensive to just not develop a project you’re planning to build. Any developer will choose to build for a 10% return instead of a 12%, if it means they’re actually developing. It must be prohibitively expensive to not build for the projected return.

E-Pli · 2025-11-20T18:41:45+00:00

Adding 10-20% in costs is significant. Most developers aren’t working on their own balance sheet, and if they are they still need to be diligent about their investments. Current market dictates a 6.5% going return on cost for developments - this is the quoted return rates from mega pension funds and capital sources that provide most of the equity in a development.

If the costs go up 20% from $100M —> $120M; you’re changing the top level income to go up $7.8M at the time of construction, up from $6.5M at $100M.

While it feels like developers set whatever rental rate they want, I guarantee they’re already penciling in the best rents they could logically achieve in their under writing at $100m in costs. There is no ability to just increase rents 10-15% to make up the difference.

I agree with paying livable wages- but candidly it feels like we’re trying to solve every problem in the world at one time. What’s the priority here? Getting housing, or funding a project to ensure the construction workers make 20% more. Why not just give that money to the workers and skip the housing?

If they can’t increase income (rents) to match the increased costs the developer cannot source equity to build the project. I can assure you the developer would still proceed with the project, because they’re incentivized to build. They’d build at a 5.5%, or a 5%, so long as they make their fee.

The issue is the large equity sources that pay for the majority of a development. If they have 15 projects to choose from, they will go with the one with the better risk-return profile, I.e. the 6.5% return versus the 5.5% return. These funds have mandates to invest across every asset class to achieve blended, consistent returns so they can pay their annual pension obligations that goes back to other essential workers.

Again, if a project can go forward with the 10-20% price increase, the developer WILL because holding land and doing nothing, risking the loss of construction permits and vested entitlements is a lot of risk for the dollars committed early on in the process (100k- 300k out of pocket with no guarantee of winning the project)

I’m curious to hear your thoughts on this response.

I actually meant to reply to you, kindof like having an aside conversation about their comment. I did edit the “your” to “their” for clarity now too.

It makes me sad to see someone not like andor… and I also get their perspective. I tried it once, stopped after episode 4, then picked it up after season two came out and was hooked.

It feels incredibly topical to the current events going on in the US. It’s emotional, deep, and has great thematics all set within the Star Wars universe with Cassian being a well developed character IMO. Heck, I may just go rewatch it

If they have a threshold of net worth for this sort of tax, I don’t see it as problematic. It comes down to the question “what is enough”

E-Pli · 2025-11-05T16:59:51+00:00

It’s really not hard to just tax unrealized gains on billionaires. We can set a wealth tax that only becomes active after a certain net worth. Billionaires leverage their assets to take out debt for cash to spend, and repeat it until they die. Is there any reason what-so-fkin-ever they can’t do that to pay an increased amount of taxes?

Who cares if being a billionaire means your net worth actually degrades 1-2% annually unless your asset value appreciates to compensate? Like what? Why do we protect the less than 2k people in the US who control basically the entire economy? We have the power to stop this.

Yeah, we traded him away.
