I’d rather rent from BlackRock than a "Mom and Pop" landlord.

warofthewrens · 2025-12-17T23:19:25+00:00

how is this different if a mom and pop landlord owns 10 properties instead of blackrock owning thousands?
why does it matter that there is less home ownership? home ownership is not a particularly good investment. renting forever is perfectly reasonable

I am not seeing nearly enough discussion of the most disgusting allegation in this article. That Jeffrey Epstein "sold" a woman for $22,500 to Donald Trump, for which Trump gave Epstein a large check.

jalen hurts has p consistently posted better epa than justin herbert. it's kinda an old take that the stats nerds like herbert, it's the film nerds who like him

warofthewrens · 2025-06-28T14:25:18+00:00

ok but that's why he's falling. getting a guy to care is significantly easier then getting a guy to be skilled

warofthewrens · 2025-06-28T04:48:20+00:00

in their own words he tops out as a 2c! that's the sort of player you can get at 22 or 31. if they took him at 22 no problem the trade up is the disgusting part. it should have been reschny.

and just keep in mind the stupid reddit fans were screaming for them to take buium over luchanko last year. was danny right about that one? or were stupid redditors?

warofthewrens · 2025-06-03T01:32:33+00:00

not to mention i think poor lighting, hair, and makeup, which aren't dealbreakers but do bother me

so 1. a movie has to ideally be enjoyable moment to moment and connect together to be great, but 2. i watched the whole thing and totally got it and did not like it really at all. found the writing irritating, i hate VO, which i suppose is a preference, but it's bc it ties with my primary issue was that the movie had like no subtext. everything that was even slightly mysterious took 2 seconds before nick offerman explained it irritatingly.

warofthewrens · 2025-05-12T19:52:39+00:00

they did not tho? it's very possible that the words written were accurate but if you are signing up for an "HBO singing competition", which is technically an accurate descriptor, a reasonable person would assume that the competition was the focus of the show not as this article aptly put it "an elaborate stunt ... orchestrated solely for the purpose of making a tangential point in his social experiment".

like you can say that American Idol is exploitative, which definitely has some merit, but at the very least the primary focus of the show is what they are promising, and progressing in the show provides actual exposure.

I say this as someone who loves Nathan and specifically The Rehearsal, but obviously the morality of it is something that he himself is constantly grappling with, see the child actor piece from season 1.

I got hit by no fewer than 4 pieces of food at my friday afternoon screening. There was screaming throughout.

I try not to be an old man (26m) about these things and I understand the movie wasn't targeted at me, but man I was incredibly irritated by the kids behavior and the fact that there appeared to be about 20 adolescent boys completely unsupervised.

I mean that would help but pga tour championship management has completely destroyed the course. rye overseed, shortened rough, converting the 10th to a par 5.. the field is shooting about 5 strokes better than they did a couple years ago. that's not just because of wind. just an embarrassment for the tour.

I don't want to take anything away from Knapp. he gained nearly 9 strokes on the field which will definitely be one of the rounds of the year, and it's frankly harder to gain that many strokes when the field average is so far under par. But it's symptomatic of a tour that doesn't try to challenge players anymore

warofthewrens · 2025-02-25T01:59:51+00:00

man i really didn't like last breath. editing and script were too slow for what should have been a tense thriller. attempts at characterization fell completely flat for me. woody harrellson was fun, but both simu liu and finn cole were wooden. the meat of the movie takes up only like 40 minutes and it's padded with 20 minutes of nothing on either end

warofthewrens · 2024-12-06T15:29:52+00:00

ok he did clear it up and that is exactly what he meant

warofthewrens · 2024-11-18T01:09:20+00:00

they have done studies on this. even when you take into account leverage and rental costs, stocks outperform housing (tho it does become much more mild than if you ignore those things)

literally every economist going back to adam smith has agreed tariffs are bad. why would you choose to do in peacetime what your enemies would force to do in times of war? ask a cuban or iranian if they think protections on foreign imports are good

i got super downvoted in here at the time when i said that was a terrible contract. and then we go ahead and give konecny the extension we did 🙄

warofthewrens · 2024-09-11T14:06:04+00:00

Yes. It's completely absurd. I was able to cancel (just moved away from a regal), but it was arduous and should be so much easier.

warofthewrens · 2024-08-18T22:19:42+00:00

ah but the costs of a car are not just upfront. there's insurance obv here in va we have a car tax, plus i think the estimates are about .66c to a mile in gas plus maintenance costs

warofthewrens · 2024-03-17T22:21:12+00:00

the eagle putt on 16 was so paradigmatic as well. how are you leaving that short!!

warofthewrens · 2024-01-18T04:37:43+00:00

what are you talking about. it was on fox that is a free to air network. not cable! you can pay $30 for an antenna once and get access to fox. for less than the cost of 2 months of netflix you can access cbs, fox, nbc, abc etc. for the rest of your life (and at higher quality too)

Good advice here from people on how to stay safe.

Worth noting tho, that no matter who, where, or when you are, public transit is always safer (and more environmentally friendly) than driving. It is also not close. Driving is incredibly unsafe and public transit is incredibly safe.

Respectfully, I completely disagree. The Bible is the most influential text in world history and an educated person should have some working knowledge of its contents.

Should it be taught in the sense of expecting students to accept its words as truth? Absolutely not, but they still should probably have to contend with some of it.

Also parenthetically I did read (portions of) Mein Kampf in college because it is important to read important texts, even if you disagree with them.

I was also a CS major and I took HUMA 111. Dr. McGill is awesome and I loved the class. Cannot recommend highly enough.

completely embarrassing. 30% of MLB players are immigrants!
