Let's not lose track of what's important here: How to profit from this? Shorting companies that are especially vulnerable? Buying out of the money puts? Trading on volatility? I want to cash in before we all drop dead.

The old saying in politics that you can't beat somebody with nobody applies here. Biden isn't nobody but he hasn't made himself somebody either. Many VPs before him had a strategy is not doing or saying much and hoping that being or having been VP is enough to get the votes. Sometimes it works. But ...

I didn't think to register to vote but I should, just to vote for Biden. He's horrible but he's not peddling totally insane crap like the rest of the field.

Be even nicer if we quit pretending that Trump has the same powers as China's Premier Xi. He's not a dictator. This is disingenuous at best, Gene. Trump is the most autocratic President the U.S. has had since FDR. Plus the historical and legal precedents do exist for much more aggressive government...

That guy should write a book of life wisdom. I'd buy it.

I called the super at my apartment complex about the shower valve, left a voicemail. He has a key so I figured he'd do it while I was out. I got home and saw that he had indeed replaced the valve but with a used shitty-looking one. It seemed to work better so that was that. The next day he knocked o...

I'd like to see if he can KO Jon Jones. Reyes was robbed, though.

Killing these guys instead of starting wars is the only thing he does that I agree with.

The crazy thing is, people simply fall into line and regurgitate dogma. If someone had the initiative to depop the hellholes, there would be some histrionics for a while but in ten years everyone would say, think how much worse overcrowding/sprawl/the migrant crisis/global warming/resource scarcity ...

It's about time that someone released the superflu that will kill off 99% of humanity. It's the only way to stop global warming. It will also help with a lot of other environmental problems.

I have to assume FC is just shitposting at this post.This issue isn't whether we'd have been better off with HRC. The point is that we have grossly improper and probably criminal acts committed on a near daily basis by a federal employee, in this case the President. Obstruction of justice, bribery, ...

I didn't like Bernie at all before one minute ago. But if HRC hates him he might not be all bad.

^^My point this is. Doping results disappearing from the USOC's safe = state sponsored.

No, they just aren't powerful anymore, therefore people pretend to care. Drugs are pervasive everywhere, it's only condemned when and where it's convenient to do so.

There are works which reward close study, like The Conversation or The Godfather. Then there are those which can be dismissed. In the last decade or so people seem to have lost the capacity to discriminate between the two. For example, no Trekkie fails to see the difference between Mirror, Mirror an...

This movie sucked. It's only considered a classic since no one bothered to renew the copyright, thus making it super cheap for tv stations to air endlessly. Plus it's insidious leftist propaganda. George never got to do what he really wanted but that's okay, the town (collective, party, state) was m...

Fundamentalists do not want to hear any questions, let alone disagreements. Cults are worse of course.

Edit: cut out some tired spewage

When you say you've interviewed/interrogated people, in what context is that? Business, military, beating confessions out of people???

Everything about Pavel's responses shouts dishonesty.

I've paid almost zero attention to the allegations around Pavel, but an hour and twenty minutes were more than enough for me to doubt everything he says. The final straw for me was when he flatly refused to tell Rogan how old he is. The only reason I can think of for him to do that is to not be pinn...

Rogan did another ep with just Kresser after the debate one. I started to watch it then came to my senses.

Not that I buy much of what David Frum has to say, but he's right about two things with regard to the impeachment proceedings -- The Dems suck hard at selling this to people who aren't already engaged. The Republicans have a plan. It's an ugly plan but it beats no plan. It's amazing how bad the Dems...

I did kick in few bucks, as it happens. Have a glass of instant smile.

Honestly, I don't give two flying fucks if you donate or not. I am supporting the forum since 2009, pro bono, and the guy before me another three or four years. But see, that's the kind of response that leads me to rethink donating. Plus there have been other fundraising rounds and other people (my...

I honestly don't know whether I should donate or not -- my first two posts got disapproved for posting stuff I didn't post. If the forum doesn't work, why support it? Serious question.

Well the current software sux. I got two posts rejected for posting links which I didn't do.
