Ratings truly don't matter. Raw is hitting all time lows annually, yet WWE is making more money than ever before. The difference is, and looking at just the rating here and not the other metrics listed in Maze's post, you have to look at Raw's (and Dynamite's) ratings in comparison to other shows at the same day/time, and not compare it to what the numbers used to be, as there are plenty of examples of Shows that have been on for years (Simpsons, Survivor, American Idol, etc) and their ratings are no where close to what they used to be. It's the circle argument of ratings for everything is going down. Which is why the number of viewers isn't as important as the actual rating/share itself. But looking at other metrics, like attendance, there's a Twitter account that tracks attendance, and WWE is constantly at or above the same number that they were the last time they hit an arena, where AEW has been going down on repeat visits. --- You gotta laugh.

Fans shouldn't really be all that concerned about the ratings, as long as they are good enough to stay on the station and timeslot they currently are on. If you enjoy what they're doing, then keep watching, but once (and I'm not saying it will happen) it gets moved from 8 to 10, and then 10 to Midnight, and then moved from Wednesday at midnight to Saturday and 1am, and then moved to one of the sister stations, and then the next thing you know it's on AXS with TNA, and then you can only watch it using the AEW App... I think you get my drift. I enjoy AEW. I watch it on DVR delay every week. I'm going to Forbidden Door. And I still think they are "Safe" in the spot they are, ratings wise. But like nay show I enjoy, the last thing I wasn't to see is dwindling ratings. --- You gotta laugh. That is the one thing at the end of your life you will not wish you did less of. |

| Topic | Would you rather take a shorter week, or a few separate weeks off work? |
| bigblu89 06/21/24 10:00:16 AM #12 | I've done both. I prefer taking single days.
I get 20 days, and I rarely get sick. I used to use my days for vacation and if my kids got sick and had to stay home from school. But with my wife now working from home and the kids being older, I don't use any days when they get sick, so I usually have 10-12 days left to take going into October. So I'll usually take a Thursday or Friday off each week to end the year, as they tend to be the lightest days, work-wise. I prefer the single days becasue of the type of job I have along with how my household is set up. A "staycation" doesn't really interest me, unless I have a project to work on at home. Otherwise I just kinda bum around the house, listening to my wife make conference calls with her co-workers. Combine that with the fact that the kind of job I have, becasue of how people get covered when they're out, the longer I'm out, the longer it takes me to catch up when I get back. So taking 1-2 days is A LOT easier to recover from that taking a whole week. --- You gotta laugh. That is the one thing at the end of your life you will not wish you did less of. |

I don't think all landlords are evil. Like I said, I'm friends with my landlords. But the system itself is inherently flawed, and there's a lot of people who take advantage of that, which causes those who are being taken advantage of to lash out.I get what you're saying. But it should be something taken on a case by case basis, and not just look at every landlord as part of the problem. --- You gotta laugh.

I've only seen a handful of the MCU movies, and with the summer approaching, and there being less on TV to watch, I'm thinking about watching all of them, 2-3 per week over the course of the next few weeks. So, which is a better way to go? Watch in the order they were released, starting with Iron Man 1, or in chronological order, starting with Captain America: The First Avenger? --- You gotta laugh.

No, I was playing the weird game of not wanting to type a long post on my phone, so I was trying to get my point across in fairly short posts with the assumption that they would hopefully still be clear. That was obviously not the case. I think the issue, not just in this situation but many, is the blanket statements of "All ______ are evil". Like in the example in my OP. The lady is renting the house basically at cost. Charging just enough to cover the utilities being used, property taxes, and (I assume) a small maintenance fee. Not making any profit at all, and providing a young couple an affordable place to stay while they save up for a place of their own. She wasn't some large corporation that owned a dozen apartment complexes. And she was STILL getting shit online for it, simply becasue she was playing the role of "landlord" to this couple. --- You gotta laugh.

She is charging them just enough to cover the bills and taxes on the house. Making no profit.
