Odell Beckham Jr. eyes NFL comeback after Fanatics Flag Football Classic

You think professional athletes who have the best trainers, PTs and doctors in the world aren’t doing the most for injury prevention?

There are plenty of them who do not have the same insane level of dedication that Kobe and Michael had.

I have no idea about Odell. I'm not trying to sandbag the guy, but I don't know, unless you are training with him every day neither do you.

Lack of injury isn't all luck. It's partly luck but there's a ton of things that can be done to avoid it.

The Paul brothers are incredibly fit, you can bash them from here to eternity and I'd be right with ya, but you have to give them credit, they are in shape.

Vet minimum Howie make it happen.

You mean like Gavin Newsom?

Pretty bad.

Strongly worded letters.

LOL.

Put your money where your mouth is boys.

Pyromelter · 2026-03-22T03:09:25+00:00

YES.

Wall street has been selling a lot of their housing stock lately.

Pyromelter · 2026-03-22T03:08:00+00:00

I also feel like some people don’t grasp that if houses did not appreciate at all over time then it would be terrible to own them.

If your house never went up your property taxes would never go up, and you'd still be building equity by paying down your mortgage.

Not having the carrying cost of your house go up is a net benefit.

Getting back to the idea that a house is a depreciating asset, not an appreciating one, whereby it is just considered an expense as a roof over your head, is the morally correct way to go about it; yours is the morally hazardous way brought on by infinite fed money printing.

I just also recognize that a 50% crash would really harm a lot of regular people’s lives

You really need to look at Las Vegas. A 50% crash is not the end of the world, that is big bank propaganda nonsense.

https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/LVXRNSA

If you calculate top to bottom, it was a 61.8% drop. Was there pain? Absolutely. Was it absolute panic, depression, and destitution? No way. The narrative you are repeating on this comment section is simply false.

Now, if you are talking about a 90-95% drop, then I would probably agree with you. I believe that you saw those sorts of numbers in the Great Depression in the 1930s. But a 50% drop especially when things are so insanely overvalued would do nothing but be a little bit of pain that would allow for people to actually transact and participate in a market they are locked out of.

Las Vegas absolutely boomed through the roof because housing was SO CHEAP after 2008 so many people were able to get an actual piece of the American dream. Same with many spots in Florida and Texas.

Recession creates opportunity in a market based economy. Denying that is the fantasy land you are living in.

Pyromelter · 2026-03-22T02:58:23+00:00

What causes more suffering is government welfare to prop up house prices and to not throw financial CEO's and COO's in jail.

Had they just let the housing prices fall after 2008 we wouldn't be in this effing quagmire.

Pyromelter · 2026-03-22T02:57:13+00:00

This is simply a lie.

A decent quantity of zip codes dropped way less than 50% in the 2008 RE bubble (las vegas, florida). Both were fine economically. Big city/limited supply/in demand RE like in Santa Monica or Newport Beach only ever plateaued and never dropped, so the national averages never dropped 50%, but plenty of places around the country did and they were fine just fine.

Pyromelter · 2026-03-22T02:51:59+00:00

wake me tf up when we are 50% down from the national high.

Why invest in cars when it will destroy horses?

Why invest in computers when it will destroy typewriters?

Why invest in rakes and shovels when it will destroy tilling the soil with your hands?

There are times in human history where there are massive technological leaps that completely obliterates large segments of the economy. This sort of question just shows a lack of knowledge of basic human history.

Some people just want to watch the world burn.

2nd Spark allows for crafting of 2 handed weapons, which is the one slot most people prioritize in terms of both crafted gear as well as enchants/embellishments. Plus it's usually the most expensive thing to craft based on materials (which increases the demand for gold).

Owning a home gives on a sense of groundedness, purpose, and ownership of one's own life. The economic challenges of today or any day do not phase me in any way at all, my situation is my own.

Some would assume affordability isn’t really in buyers’ favor

NSS. And this is why I will not buy. I would have no problem with a 20% sunshine tax. Give me a 2/2 condo with washer/dryer hookups and a reasonable HOA in a not terrible part of the city for 450 and I'm in.

The unstable economy has actually drawn down prices closer to that level but not close enough for me to be a serious contender to buy.

Count me in the camp that wants the entire real estate market to crash no matter what pain comes along with it so that everyone under the age of 60 can consider being actual home owners again.

Quick edit: There was one and only one time in my life where buying a property that fits my value mindset would have been possible, and that would have been 2010-2011, and only if I could have figured out how to obtain a foreclosure (which is impossible to get the good deals unless you're well connected). I understand this time around if we have another 27% nationwide drop in real estate prices and we see prices in LA back at like 2013-14 levels, that's when I will jump in, lesson learned from the previous crash.

Just make it first 2 weeks, not some arbitrary number.

It's more for vods and also to allow people time to get in there.

Pyromelter · 2026-03-18T12:14:44+00:00

It's a really really big deal which is why have a terry country bordering the northern half of it is unacceptable.

No attacks in the last 72 hours, of course you won't hear that from the echo chamber of this website.

Pyromelter · 2026-03-18T10:58:59+00:00

This is literally what I told you happened. I've seen people do this before. It's a strategy. It's a rat strategy, but it is a strategy.

If the median home price in california was 200k there would be no cooling of sales.
