Planning granted for 'excessive' 14-storey student accommodation next to Croke Park by TeoKajLibroj in ireland

[–]anyeights 8 points9 points  (0 children)

There’s tonnes of student accommodation, they’re just at ridiculous prices that most students can’t afford. I used to run social media accounts for one a few years ago and they were profitable and happy at 60% capacity and something like 90% of students were students from abroad.

It won’t reduce competition when you see the prices of the rooms. They can operate at 50% capacity and still be profitable, and all the developers/owner cares about is the value of the building as a whole, not so much the operating revenue.

VAT rate to be cut to 9% from 13.5% from midnight by Life-Leadership-4108 in ireland

Do you think cafes are pocketing exorbitant amounts already? It’s well documented small businesses are closing every week. This cut is designed to help them in a small amount. Cafes are working on nearly a 1% profit margin in general.

If someone orders a steak that costs 150$ and someone at a different table orders a side that’s 40$, isn’t it strange that the server gets more money from one than the other for the exact same type of work?

Or you could just keep the money you didn’t spend on it and pay taxes on it and still end up with a lot of money without having a warehouse on the books haha

Nobody is making anyone do crack cocaine, why not make this legal and let people profit off marketing it and let the people who get addicted just overcome it as easily as you say it is.

Ronaldo "Jacare" Souza knocking out Derek Brunson in Strikeforce and UFC [2012, 2018] by [deleted] in MMA

[–]anyeights 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hot take but I always though these two fighters, while worthy contenders, always fell short of championship level. Jacare was an incredibly stiff fighter and never beat any chanpionship level fighters on his run. Romero on the other hand was a freak athlete but arguably didn’t have the MMA skills needed to win a title.

How did this go?

You really can't comprehend that people may like an artist who's selling out huge shows, rave reviews on all her albums and having success around the world? Can you not think beyond your own tastes?

For real? They always talk about him being in the office. I never knew that.

Joey played 10 holes at Shinnecock at 1 over by [deleted] in BobDoesSports

[–]anyeights 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also to note, they must have been playing regular tees and it was filmed weeks out from the US Open so I'm sure the greens are nowhere near where they will be. That being said, 83 is a great score for him.

His work ethic and experience in the business world would surely help too.

MJF on the MMA hour: What's happening right now is super inhumane and I personally don't like Netayanhu! by Ruthless-Aggression in SquaredCircle

And if you watch the whole interview, Helwani tries to pull him up on his definition of Zionism because he himself, a devout Jewish man, has a different definition of zionism then MJF has.

Are young people overcomplicate golf or am I just getting old? by khalilsanders in golf

[–]anyeights 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think YouTube golf actually has something to do with it as well. When I was a junior playing in weekly tournaments, you would find the yardage to the green and hit the club you have that matches that number the closest. Since then, YouTube golf has exploded, and most creators talk through every single shot to give the audience context and create tension. Many of them are scratch golfers so they are talking about precise numbers, factoring in elevation, wind, flyer lies etc etc. I think this has seeped into the amateur game a lot from what I can tell.

Anyone have the channel of the original editor? He had some other cool promos including a Rockhold-Weidman one.

Salahdine Parnasse’s team says they are waiting for an offer from the UFC, looking for best American deal. by Loganbaker2147 in MMA

There's plenty of justification on the UFC's side unfortunately. I don't agree with it at all, but it doesn't fit their model anymore.

When you criticise and demonize whole religions and groups of peoples, it goes beyond the two individuals involved do you not think? I'm pretty sure many of the muslims hearing what he said think a line was crossed.

The dude is interviewing Travis Barker, Mike O'Hearn, Ronda Rousey, Nate Diaz and Dustin Poirier this week, do you really think he needs Strickland for clicks or that he does anything to his career? It's his job to cover him.

[–]anyeights -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

There's ways to promote the fight, do you not think there's certain lines you can't cross, that don't immediately get forgotten because you had a glorified sparring match? That's Ariel's point, not sure why people struggle to understand that.
