| Topic | Why do you dislike NYC? |
| DoctorVader 10/03/18 8:31:32 PM #35 | I've been in NYC for 31 years. Love it, though I have taken some years off to live in the suburbs of Suffolk and deep Upstate. It was a nice change but I could not help coming back to NYC to visit every 2 weeks, which is tough when you're 250 miles away. For most, it's a love/hate thing because there's a lot of annoying shit, but at the end, you get withdrawals when you leave. --- It all just disappears, doesn't it?

And will increase to $27k-$30k in 3 months? Why the fuck are you wasting time going to the Meadowlands? It's a mission to get there just by car from Queens. --- It all just disappears, doesn't it?

| DoctorVader 09/25/18 2:21:57 AM #35 | Ever? The Phantom Menace then Revenge of the Sith. Attack is there somewhere as well. Then probably Force Awakens and The Last Jedi. Episode 9 would have been extremely hyped had TLJ been good, but I don't really care about Star Wars anymore. Infinty War was more like, I just knew that shit was going to be awesome so it didn't even hit me like that. The real hype didn't start till a day or two before for me. I think it's also because I hadn't seen Black Panther till 2-3 days prior and wanting to go in order was really bugging me. --- It all just disappears, doesn't it?

They just got paid for appearing in the episodes. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friends Because of syndication revenue, Friends continues to generate approximately $1 billion each year for Warner Bros. That translates into about $20 million in annual residuals each for Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc, Matthew Perry and David Schwimmer, who each get 2% of syndication income for Friends.[99] The series has a syndication deal through multiple networks including Nickelodeon, TBS, and Paramount (formerly known as Spike). --- It all just disappears, doesn't it?

| DoctorVader 09/20/18 10:32:27 AM #187 | fenderbender321 posted... This is the first time in my life I've ever seen somebody argue on the internet by posting links to studies you have to pay for. That's a good tactic. I'm gonna steal that. I'm not gonna make up facts. Studies are regarded world wide. If there's one study that's been done that disproves what you're saying, that is the only source out there. I can't make up info, and in the absence of it, it doesn't mean you're right. You understand that right? And the article is available for free all over the place. As I said, you seem to know much about the internet works, so go read it and stop making excuses. I mean, WSJ is paid, but is used as a source everywhere. It's just that people are not idiots and know how to read the article anyway. --- It all just disappears, doesn't it?

| DoctorVader 09/20/18 10:26:50 AM #185 | fenderbender321 posted... You put forth a study that costs $30 to see. I'm not paying for that. Again, for someone that says bots are available to everyone, which is a deeper dig to find reliably, reading the study is less of a dig if you've even been to college. And that's how most studies work and cost genius. Further proof you've never been to college. fenderbender321 posted... But I can tell you this...the study likely fails to account for future human behavior. This doesn't even make sense.

Fender sounds like he knows very little about the world around him. fenderbender321 posted... I read the entire paragraph. That's all there was. The rest you have to pay to see? Lol. That's not how it works. The fact that you figured that's all there was to it shows you never took any higher education. I gave you a study while you're providing opinion articles. Being paid doesn't erase facts. Since you're so confident in the inner workings of bots and software, being able to read the study should not be a roadblock for you. If you can't counter what I've put forth to counter what you're saying, you've lost the argument. --- It all just disappears, doesn't it?

We estimate that observed levels of resale increase allocative efficiency by 5% on average, but that a third of this increase is offset by increases in costly rent-seeking in the primary market and transaction costs in the resale market. There's no way you read even a paragraph in the study. Go read it. Time is a variable in it and that thing is from 2013, before the prevalence of bots.

As I said, scalping does increase allocative effeciency, which is what the economists are saying and you're repeating, but you're not understanding everything else nor the negatives. https://academic.oup.com/restud/article-abstract/81/1/266/1730966?redirectedFrom=fulltext fenderbender321 posted... Also, if you guys hate ticket scalpers, there's 2 voluntarily solutions that make much more sense: The simpler solution is to have your information on the ticket like with plane tickets and have a cancellation policy with an appropriate fee. --- It all just disappears, doesn't it?

| DoctorVader 09/19/18 2:25:22 PM #147 | The logic is that allocative effeciency is increased by scalping, which is true, but in turn the resulting rent seeking offsets the benefit.

But you can definitely see that they tried to incorporate elements of their performances, where they failed is when they tried to put their own spin on it. if they just did their own thing from the Jump it would have been better. I didn't see any Bale in Affleck's performance especially neither in BvS nor JL, where his character does shift a bit, and Leto was trying to do comic Joker with a spin, but that shit can never translate to film well even if he didn't put his spin.
