re: Question for GA fans on Oscar Delp. Did GA underutilized him?

He’s a good player that played on a good team. Hard to say he was underutilized versus the other players UGA has had.

re: Everyone blames boomers for hoarding wealth

This is and should be the way... Work your whole life to not enjoy the twilight years is stupid. If you raised your kids the best you were able and balanced a career then you go enjoy spending all that money. It’s your money and you can't take it with you. Maybe leave the kids some property or condos or something that they can keep, leverage for rent, or sell for cash. But thats it

I have a very different outlook on this. I’d like to do my part to continue to improve my family’s situation, and that does not include frivolous cash burn at the end. For example, the idea of spending millions of dollars uselessly in a care facility over any sort of long duration makes me sick to my stomach.

Most big “old money” family fortunes were not created in a single generation.

re: I think people need to accept that the housing window has closed

New builds are up certainly, but I know of plenty of places that have homes for sale for close to the same prices as 2017.

Any city with housing prices comparable to 2017 is not going to be one with a thriving economy, lots of good jobs, etc.

The house I live in now sold for approximately half its current value in 2017 with only minor upgrades since then.

Anyhow, while we schooled up and careered up and saved up, we could finally buy a nice suburban house in 2017. In our late 30's.

It can still be done if you are willing to crank out some shitty years first. At least I hope that's the case.

It can still be done, but 2017 is a long time ago relative to housing costs.

re: Mental Load. Anybody else tired of women playing the victim?

Posted by Crowknowsbest on 7/28/26 at 9:29 am to Oilfieldbiology

quote:
I once saw a video where a woman asked herself if “mental load” wasn’t a euphemism for “control”. She said something like “I know my husband can pack up the car and fit everything in the back seat, but it won’t be how I would have done it” and then rattled off 3 or 4 other things she knows he’s capable of but would be different than her preferred way.

This is a lot of it, even in well-functioning couples. There is more blending of responsibilities which leads to conflict in the “correct” way to do things.

re: 14 seasons later and Georgia will still not have played at A&M

This is the weirdest talking point. A&M has been an average SEC team for most of their time in the SEC, and the teams have basically no history. Who the hell cares?

re: Anyone ever reeeeeally stretched on a home purchase?

Posted by Crowknowsbest on 7/14/26 at 5:27 pm to NolaLovingClemsonFan

I think this depends on the city/market and investment liquidity if you need to come up with $20k quick. If you’re in a growing market (Nashville, Charlotte, Atlanta, etc) with a diversified local economy (housing prices unlikely to fall apart in an industry-specific downturn), you will have selling as a fallback option if things get too tight over time. You also may never get a chance at the good neighborhood for the same reason.

I would say no in smaller markets, even if it’s rapidly growing right now.

The parting shot of the boomers’ politicians was pulling the kids out of school for two years during COVID in misguided selfish panic. Now we have an entire generation that underperforms at math and reading because the boomers couldn’t handle their own mortality.

re: NYC officially approves a rent freeze for up to 2 years

Posted by Crowknowsbest on 6/26/26 at 7:22 am to RLDSC FAN

I agree with others that dilapidation and government taking is the goal. There is enough literature out there on rent control at this point that no serious person actually thinks it works for its stated purpose. Mamdani has basically said as much with regard to government control of the housing stock.

Mom instagram is a scourge. The particularly nefarious ones are the ones which basically broadcast their kids’ childhoods as content for public consumption, all so they can get sponsored by shitty household products.

So you guys actually believe no player is betting. Out of thousands of college football players yoy don’t think it’s happening? You guys are lemmings and being played for suckers.

I am sure that other players are betting, which is exactly why you have to come down hard on the ones that get caught. It’s such a difficult behavior to monitor that the punishment needs to be severe to be an effective deterrent.

re: What is the solution for college sports?

Posted by Crowknowsbest on 6/9/26 at 7:39 am to Purple Spoon

The more the current situation unravels, the more convinced I am that there is no healthy way for what are now pro sports and the universities they are tied to to coexist.

The “best” option I can come up with, in crude terms, is that some new league entity is created with an anti-trust exemption from Congress, and the schools sell their football assets to that new entity, possibly with some kind of long term licensing agreement for branding purposes. Men’s basketball is trickier because it has less of its “own” facilities and infrastructure at most schools and would therefore be harder to divest. On the other hand, the NBA already has a development league, so maybe that can just be expanded with college basketball staying intact in a revised form.

All remaining college sports shift to a D3, non-scholarship model.

This would be a drastic change obviously, and I don’t expect that any college admins would go along without being legally forced to.
