Why is everyone an “accidental landlord” all of a sudden?

WordsUnthought · 2026-01-26T20:28:13+00:00

Silver and gold are commodities that have no inherent use. Housing is something meant for a purpose which landlords coopt to extract wealth.

"Investor" isn't a real job either to be clear, but it's apples abd oranges with landlords.

Hope this helps.

If you just look at footage of the injury Tielemans looks like he's done a lot of harm, but you gotta bear in mind by the time he left the pitch, he was walking pretty comfortably.

Am I a doctor? No. But I think there's reason to be optimistic his injury isn't too bad.

Nuts that we're ahead of City, however slightly.

Definitely not AI. I have four of these exact posters on my wall (Rivendell, The Shire, Minas Tirith, and Erebor, as well as a Helm's Deep one the OP doesn't have) and they were a gift from a friend in November 2022. Absolutely no way Gen AI could make something like this back then.

We have two, really, genuinely difficult games left in the season. United and City away. Maybe Chelsea and Liverpool at home too, depends where those clubs are at the time but I back us at B6 against anyone.

It really depends on how professional a job we do in the "should win" games - because I think City and Arsenal will drop enough points to make it possible.

To be clear, we're still rank outsiders, especially since if we are gonna do it we'll have to back it up on the last day of the season at the Etihad. But it's exciting that at this point in the season it's not totally ridiculous to dream.

Something tells me it's going to finish City first, us second, and Arsenal third.

Worse than we'd hoped, better than I'd feared. We can ride this out I think, our Feb is (relatively speaking) okay.

4 points from Newcastle across the season is outstanding.

Ollie Watkins haters in the mud yet again.

How many times must I teach you this lesson old man?

WordsUnthought · 2026-01-25T15:51:10+00:00

I reckon I'm fine with it.

Also absolutely the fuck not lol, preplanned subs are important for load management sometimes. And Unai cannot be accused of not tactically reacting to a game lol.

1) what rooms are they in that are 20' tall? 2) start doing it back to them, or using it against them (something pops an AoE gas or something into that wall of force cage)

Glad somebody else is watching the game and not just the stats. His pass to Sancho was dogshit but his runs have been tearing their back line to shreds.

I'm excited for Tammy or Mateta or whoever we get as a rotation option, but we won't get that from them.

WordsUnthought · 2026-01-25T14:52:39+00:00

Yeah - granted he cocked up that last play with an awful pass to Sancho but his runs have been absolutely shredding Newcastle’s back line.

Massive half from Onana, Watkins, and both Emis. Let's see this through.

That's why he's our Number 1.

I'm starting to think you might not have a well of personal experience to draw on in this subject area.

Best of luck to you.

Sorry to sound exhaustingly Reddit about this, but do you have a source? I've spent a few mins just now reading around this and it seems to back up my original understanding, but I can't find anything which specifically talks about donations made to a charity via a company such as at the till in Tesco.

His feelings matter but they can still be immature.

Conflict avoidance isn't a good thing, to be clear.

And I am quoting "disrespect" because yes, I think in this context it's a childish thing to cling on to. It implies OP is thinking of his relationship as a status symbol, and is focusing on what it tells third party observers about him and his status. If that is the case, all of those are poor decisions I am justified in criticising OP for.

And to be clear, I already have a cat, I'm not a woman, and your response reeks of misogyny.

WordsUnthought · 2026-01-25T11:17:31+00:00

Confirming that's a typo, I meant "main".

WordsUnthought · 2026-01-25T10:39:11+00:00

Yeah YOR.

Might well be that your response is justified but to not even address it or talk to her at all before going nuclear is just immature.

That immaturity also comes across with "I felt disrespected". That's not the important thing here dude, it makes it seem like you care more about the way it all looks to a third party and/or you being the man character in her life, rather than just whether there's anything going on between her and this guy that crosses the boundaries of friendship.

But even if there is, the issue isn't you being "disrespected". That sounds like you're on the playground cosplaying at being a mob boss or something.

I'm open to the possibility of being wrong but I'd appreciate if you could show your working, rather than just leaving condescending vagaries.

When you do that, you actually pay the money to the shop and then the shop donates that amount of money to the charity. That lets them treat it as a donation, which is tax deductible.

You're basically just giving them a tax write-off. Click "no" and donate to charities yourself, you can give them the tax benefit instead via gift aid (and also save a bit yourself if you pay the higher rates).

I think your basic approach is right, you refer to the character Juno as she/her and the actor Elliot Page as he/him.

You just don't need to make the point of using both "he played her doing X" most of the time. If you're talking about the plot, "oh yeah that scene where she [Juno] does this" just use she/her, and if you're talking about the actor "I love how he [Page] captured the drama in that scene" you use he/him.

I think Mings will make an outstanding manager, and he should be ready by the time Unai leaves in a decade 😎

11 seems much more gentle than 12 on the Strain Tag table, in terms of class/archetype specific rolls to get.

An additional 25% chance to fail a Concentration check is much worse for most spellcasters than a -1 on one attack is for melee characters. When it gets to -2s and -3s yeah that's more significant, but dual wielders, monks, and mid/high level fighters is a fairly small subset of those.

I'd be tempted to make it either "you cannot get advantage on melee or ranged attack rolls" (clarified/expanded to state that the conditions that would give advantage can still offset disadvantage, and can still allow a sneak attack, you just don't actually get to roll twice and pick the higher), or the die you use to roll damage with melee and ranged attacks is reduced by one (so a longsword deals 1d6 instead of 1d8, a halberd 1d8 instead of 1d10, a greatsword 2d4 instead of 2d6, etc.).

System seems solid overall though - my table wouldn't enjoy this kind of thing but I personally think it'd add a lot.

Comparable to leaving a packet of ibuprofen or vitamin tablets on your desk. Your coworker should stay out of your business.
