@Zoomer_South Respect that
Just checked out your acc. Honestly doing gods work man. I truly feel tiktok lost us this election.
Our side needs to work on the shortform and longform game and build institutions around it
@Dylan4339015034@Kenmare05@UtdRobert I hear you. I think it's just different for you guys.
Cause on this side of the Atlantic most "traditional" popular degrees give you an opportunity for employment. You might not get your dream job but if you put in the effort you get a job for sure
@lPaytonl@DKThompson All I wish for is a better football team and beautiful buildings man.
If Georgia can do it so can we. I have to admit Athens like Auburn is great too
@Watchman_motto And the premium of good style usually isn't recognized by AVMs
AVMs more cater to higher stats. The obvious exception is in beautiful walkable neighborhoods.
I am still trying to understand the incentives and consumer preferences so I'd be curious on your opinion too
@Watchman_motto I feel like a lot of it is consumer preferences too.
People obviously don't prefer builder grade designs. But we are so financialized as a society that they will still pick those for resale value.
As no style sells easier than a distinct style which could alienate buyers (cont)
@lPaytonl@DKThompson A lot of the newer buildings are so disappointing honestly.
Why can't we build more like Heavner hall (built 2013 or so). I was surprised to find it's so new
@Kenmare05@UtdRobert Also I'm American fwiw. So it could be cultural differences too idk much about how education is thought about across the Atlantic.
Here only white collar rich folks have the privilege of looking at college as an endeavor in learning and academic rigours.
@Kenmare05@UtdRobert Yeah you probably have a point in some sense. But people really need to update their priors on the value of education and a degree.
I'm currently in college too so I think the difference is just the lack of hope and upward mobility. Hard for people to care about education (cont)
@Kenmare05@UtdRobert If there isn't a path to improving your situation later in life.
For most of us if you don't nail your university admissions and first job you're pretty much cooked for a long time after
@Kenmare05@UtdRobert I mean he's not wrong. If as you say he's an academic doing something he enjoys good on him.
But it doesn't make sense to expect a job to come from a field that doesn't hire as many graduates as it produces
@YIMBYLAND Respectfully what...
One freak accident and you want to ban every private jet flying over a city?
Not to mention half the PJ terminals in the country or more
@Luhjayynix@tdgator9 Did you not watch the exibition?
It is just an exibition but they looked bad. They could get better but they never got all that much better last season either
