Peak Reddit: I haven’t seen it but I’m going to type a three paragraph argument anyway.

You beat me to it

Please see my other response to another user. I’ve listened to Elvis music before that doesn’t mean I’m gonna spend money on things associated with him and the decline in impersonators clearly shows a decline in his fan base as time goes on. The house clearly was bought as an investment and questioning the long term sustainability of the fan base for a nearly 40 year old movie as the basis of an investment is a fair point

While I haven’t seen it I’m not sure it’s fair to compare The Goonies and The godfather. Either way your comment is missing the point. The article seem to imply that the premium for the house is in part due to its association with the movie.

I understand people have nostalgia for things but that doesn’t translate into something being a slam dunk investment worthy of the price. A good example of this is would be the decline of Elvis impersonators over the last 20 years. Clearly as time has gone his fan base has decreased. This movie is like Elvis. Just because you’ve heard the music doesn’t mean you’re enough of a fan who is willing to spend money on things associated with it. Everyone who doesn’t think fan bases shrink is in denial.

What people are missing though is that today a lot of content exist for kids to watch. I find it doubtful in the future they’ll be nostalgic over the same thing their parents were. I can’t imagine more relatable shows/movies don’t exist for kids today and the world they live in now than a movie that’s 10-15 years older than their parents

I think he's talking about a credit union.

Fuck em

This is a very dubious strategy. What it does I is to concentrate ownership of fossil fuel industries in the hands of the most ruthlessly irresponsible people, because that's who's left when people who care about the environment divest.

Working in the industry, I do not see any decline in global drilling. Only where policy makers make it more difficult. As much as anyone wants fossil fuel to go away that will never happen in our lifetime. All the current "green policies" are doing is wiping out the smaller companies and making the asset more valuable for the giants. That never goes good for the common person. Be careful what you wish for.

Thanks for sharing! Here’s a preview of the story by “CBS Mornings” lead national correspondent David Begnaud:

>Seven-year-old Madeline, who lives in California, is obsessed with unicorns. It's their magical horn that makes them so special, she says, noting, "It grants you magic wishes if you ask."
>
>She likes them so much she wanted one of her own, and wrote to her county's animal control department asking for permission to have one in her backyard — if she could find one.
>
>Last month, Los Angeles County officials agreed, and issued her the first-of-its-kind unicorn license.
>
>"I think I've learned if you want something, then you have to ask for it," Madeline told CBS News. "And to ask for it, you have to do something to ask for it."
>
>Fascination with unicorns dates back to ancient times. The mythical creature is the real national animal of Scotland. In Celtic mythology, it is a symbol of purity, innocence and power.
>
>Madeline has been smitten with unicorns since she was 3 and can tell you anything you want to know, including how to take care of one. It's important to make sure they can see rainbows, sunlight and moonbeams, she said, "so I'm going to make the barn have a glass roof."
>
>She also knows where unicorns live: "In the magical forest of Scotland."
>
>But Madeline has never been to Scotland. So, how does she plan to get her unicorn?

Let me guess, at no point during that entire time did anyone from the government do anything about this incredibly suspicious activity?

What's possible? She wrote a joke letter and they wrote a joke letter back. This is not news. This is nothing.

A) how exactly do you know that? I can guarantee you your local building society does not have as robust of an AFC control framework as Danske

B) it's hardly comparable. Obviously talking about established financial institutions here.

Left wingers don’t do anything to alleviate the need for fossil fuels, they just make them harder to get. Then complain when everything costs five times as much as it should.

Have they figured out how they will repair or build new roads?

My comment may or may not have been a Family Guy reference ;)

My local credit union serves the same function to me, but better.

They are not entitled to but they are going to. Fandoms do crazy stuff, and if you are even tangentially connected then you are subject to it. If you take it in stride, it can actually be a pretty beneficial annoyance. If you push back they will make your life awful, but they are going to show up either way.

This sounds like marketing from the bank. It's just becoming not profitable in the long term for fossil fuels with the new solar, wind, water power becoming mature and widely acceptable.

Nah.

You can expect people to come by and take pictures and see stuff. You might even expect the occasional trespass.

But people don’t expect the sheer amount of difference and the sheer number of people who will come and fuck with your house.

Like, 1500 people coming by a day? No one is going to expect that, even with a movie house.

Take the BB house for example. People were somewhat okay with the pictures and stuff at first. Then people started throwing the pizzas. You can expect and be okay with one thing, but people taking it too far will ruin it.

People aren’t entitled to fuck with a house just because the house was in a show or movie that they liked.

Actually no, guess I was wrong. While it appears there are a decent amount of US states that have restrictions to personal rainwater collection, there are none that make it outright illegal.
