I browse house listings occasionally and “No HOA” is always touted as a big, positive selling point. I agree, which is why I bought an older house without one.

I’ve tried looking into whether HOAs actually increase property values before but could not find any studies (in the first couple of pages of a google search). The only thing I found is that they actually lower property values because up to 40% of potential buyers refuse to look at houses in an HOA, thereby lowering…

So glad to finally see this is coming back in August. It seems like a full year I’ve been anticipating a release date for season 2.

It is time we stop singing any patriotic songs at sports games. No other country sings their national anthem before every single (non-international) sporting event no matter how inconsequential. God Bless America during the 7th inning stretch just plain sucks.  

I have no problem with this rule. I’ve been to dozens of minor league games, and there is nothing in particular to be gained by watching an endless extra-inning game between minor league teams. In about 100% of cases, if faced with the 11th or 12th or more inning of an MiLB game, I would leave. These games are…

It’s funny.....all the adults who for years have shit upon Millenials (now adults) and other kids....complaining they’re lazy, selfish, absorbed in their phones, have no direction, don’t vote, don’t care about issues etc etc.

“...They didn’t, because we (and by “we,” I mean my age group in general) didn’t do anything, really, apart from hold hands, sing songs, and pray.

These kids are doing something—and fuck anyone who gets in their way for being brave enough to stand up, and sick enough of it all to not be told to sit down and shut up....”

Completely agreed, without caveat.

My institution missed out on a chance to participate in this, as we’re on spring break this week (and we’re a college, so our “walkout” participation would’ve been markedly different than a public K-12 school), but any educator who seeks to restrain their students from exercising…

So do the Colts get a banner for this or not?

Don’t be. This is part and parcel of what a smart commissioner does. Jeter and the owners are getting murdered in the press so Manfred will try to deflect some of that his way. Gary Bettman basically made this an artform, letting every stupid “How come you hate Canada” question come his way from all the radio hosts up…

I will instruct Mr. Mitchell to get off your lawn as quickly as possible. He’s pretty quick, it should only require three steps.

Seems really irresponsible for them not to explain in plain English why theyre leaving, because I can see the right wing spin machine having a field day with this.

This isn’t a knock on NerdWallet or Tim because I love that website, but whenever I read that someone batches email irregularly, or chooses which meetings to attend, or doesn’t have a to-do list, it makes me assume that it works well for them but causes issues for others on the team. Sure, that extra ‘free time’ lead…

Bledsoe may hate it there, but at least it’s a dry hate.

Damn, how much more burning can California take?

In’n’Out is good, but it’s one of those things where the hype is so outsized the actual food just can’t live up to it. It’s a good cheeseburger, but there’s a certain ceiling to how good a cheeseburger can be, and people compete to shower theirs with praise. Can’t live up to it.

Protest in the street? Naw, this is not the time or place, since the protests are disrupting to my commute.

Go up to man with stick. Claim you’re scared of stick. Kill man. Enjoy paid vacation. Claim murdered man was “no angel”. Collect extra overtime quelling the protests after you’re cleared of any wrong doing.

that’s how you win back to back to back AAU championships.
