You get your fancy science out of here :lol:

I think LSU’s normal whites look great. Though they are a weird one where I think they look better without white pants. Not usually the case for white uni’s.

Sorry you disagree with the most basics of color harmony.

It looks bad.


Objectively it does not. Subjectively you think so.
quote:

blue and orange will never be the best. it's a really bad color combo


You mean one of the most complimentary color combos is a bad color combo? :rotflmao:
quote:

And I didn't dispute this. I acknowledge it and I also mentioned how despite that fact the gap between actual cost of housing and salaries doubled.


Ah, I see why this is a struggle for you. Kind of an irrelevant metric to look at if not taking into account the rate of growth, isn’t it? The spread doubled yet the houses got slightly more affordable. We could have the exact same wage and housing price growth rate every year and the spread will continue to grow. However the affordability of the house hasn’t changed.
quote:

No, I said they outpaced inflation and rate of growth between housing and wages are relatively the same


Let’s go to the tape:
quote:

his wages have likely outpaced housing significantly.


It would appear you are full of shite :lol:
quote:

And the gap between the cost of housing and wages doubled during that same 10 years.


Wages grew at a higher rate than houses did in that 10 year span. Literally what you said didn’t happen.

Maybe you need to look at your own source. 1965 median income to home price was 34.8%. 1975 it was 35.2%. Thank you for proving me right :lol:

I've never found Hereditary boring

And I didn’t necessarily mean that Hereditary was boring. Obsession was the one I thought was boring. Hereditary was more just tedious and a slog to get through, but I wouldn’t go so far to say boring for it, and I did think the ending for it was excellently done.

Best example of slow burn to me is Audition.


Never seen it, i'll have to check it out.
quote:


But the family conflict leads to the mistakes and reveal, and how evil all the people pulling the strings are and how tragic the ending is, etc.


That's great. Also irrelevant to my issue with it.

quote:

This would be like saying you hate Kill List because the first 1/3 is a family drama


You understand that people have different tolerances for the amount of something they are able to enjoy before it becomes too much, right? Family drama and just general parental conflict is one that quickly wears me out when watching.

I find too much consistent family drama boring. I have a much higher threshold when it comes to crime/investigation suspense. Not really sure why that seems a difficult concept for you here.
quote:

They didn't before 1999 either.


Nobody ever claimed they did. You're the only one that made a claim that the person's wages outpaced the housing price increase. I may have spoken too soon when I gave you the benefit of the doubt that you just didn't actually read the full exchange before commenting on the other poster's example.

quote:

Please point to any 10 year period since the 1960's where wage growth has outpaced housing costs.

1965-1975. That was easy.

quote:

How can you like/appreciate the Wailing while saying this about Hereditary?

The Wailing is 30 extra minutes of tension building


Because it wasn't boring :dunno:

I have no problem with slow burns. Slow burns of just family drama that was Hereditary or essentially couples drama that was Obsession is boring and tedious. Slow burn crime drama/suspense isn't to me.
He is such a fricking clown.
quote:

And some of the capitalist hate comes from my everyone gets a trophy generation. They like capitalism until they see someone else doing better than them at it. Then they hate it.



Major part of it for sure. Envy runs rampant in our society and it is only getting worse.

There are a lot of legitimate complaints around core essential sectors like housing, healthcare, education costs, etc. Problem though, is these kids don't realize the reason these sectors are so fricked up is because of the massive amount of government intervention that is involved in them. The common theme when looking in the areas where prices haven't gone through the roof vs the ones where it has is how actively invovled out government is in them.
quote:

Back to your original point. I would be willing to bet the individual who was paying $400 for rent in 1999 can afford the $1800 rent today because his wages have likely outpaced housing significantly.


Surely you aren't this obtuse or maybe you just didn't actually read the exchange that brought up this example? I'm going to assume for your sake it is the latter.

quote:

his wages have likely outpaced housing significantly.


Not that it is relevant to the discussion that original example was about, however this is an incorrect assumption on the whole. Wage growth have not outpaced rent/housing prices since '99. Not even close.
Yes they flight down the balls and the clubs just aren't great, but they also aren't knocking 100 yards off of a 3 wood.
quote:

I don't quite get why everyone was losing their minds over Obsession


I didn't either. By no means saying it is a bad movie, but frankly outside of its handful of really creepy scenes, it was really, really boring.

Kind of my issue with Hereditary. The climax of the movie is fantastic, but it is a slog actually getting to it.
Posted in the other thread, but worth sharing in this one too. Shows how silly LSU complaining about this game not being at night really is.

Of course, see France :lol:

They are perpetually unhappy people, which is another part of the problem.

they want what they think is socialism?
quote:

I am saying that prices are reflective of the economy that they are charged.

In 1999, us GDP per capita was $34500.
In 2025, US GDP per capita is $90k

That holds true for education, housing, and healthcare


You understand that this doesn't actually answer the question, right?
