They don't run on oil?

You're happy with the decision, just say so. The "some are saying" and the "For some" pretenses are silly deflections. The decision is a travesty and a wholesale diminution of a women's rights and agency. Well, at least that's what some are saying.

That’s it? That’s your perfectly neutral and polite analysis? Show something real, man.

This young lady was at Highland Park. Yes, we are a hellhole. Worse, we're a war zone. God Bless our Second Amendment.

I don't know about that. I like Don's idea. But not just at the Court, why not put baby drop boxes in front of every Justice's home? Desperate times, and all. Importantly, a note should be attached to the nipper with their name. Baby Gorsuch, baby Barrett and so on.

Meanwhile, back to Ulvade, Texas has acted with dispatch and conviction to address the problem of school mass shootings. They are bravely spending $50 Million dollars on bullet proof shields for their brave police so they can be even more brave, hopefully, at the next school shooting. Problem solved.

Post trump Legal Actions, Including his Enablers

I'm without doubt that I could get any number of people to corroborate, and under oath, that I can't remember anything. -
He was likely being brief for better comprehension by commoners. They probably refer to each other as Dr. Cunt.

Armed speech trumps free speech in America. We have a near endless supply of mentally disturbed people screaming Look at me Mommy, Look at me Mommy, but with an AR-15 instead a toy flotation device. No way should we be allowing those weapons or open carry or the rest of it but I don't see it changing. No way should we be offering after the fact hopes and prayers instead of before the fact counseling and psychological support in our schools to help kids adjust to the world better as a primary matter. But I don't see that changing. What a disaster we have.

Oh, come on. We have 24 different brands of frozen pizza in the grocery store cold case. Count your blessings.

Also, those traded fiat currencies are supported by economic activity and government promises. With Crypto the only government promise is to find a way to rein it in from being the untaxed, illegal activity, currency of choice. In reality crypto has no more value than pet rocks, chia pets, and Nehru jackets.

I have sold early and short my entire career. My objective has always been to hit singles and be thrilled with the odd double. I'm happy with the outcome.

No. It is always your money be it crypto, chips, real estate whatever. If you own it and don't sell it (distribute is the term I use) and it goes to zero you lose your money not the houses.
-
Okay, back to investments I refer back to my previous comments about fungibility and logged wins. It is your money in real dollar terms regardless of the vehicle you are using. If it goes to zero you lose money.

You have never met my friend and all you know of me is what I post here. Now you may have strong opinions about my world view, and fairly so, as I am without restraint in posting those views here. But you don't know me in any degree of completion that you could fairly assert that you are nothing like me. Unless, and I suspect this is true, your main focus is that we have a demonstrable dichotomy of core beliefs. There I would not disagree.
-
You would agree 110%, at least.

An AI algorithm writes a paper about itself. Cool, scary, or both?
JoeWeber replied to kallend's topic in Speakers Corner
You've got your mix all talked up. Just because it wasn't Adam and Code in the Garden of Eden doesn't preclude either from later on conceiving something that had the ability to conceive something else. -
How? It’s that ol’ conservative light field again.

JoeWeber replied to kallend's topic in Speakers Corner
Ken, that's a very solipsistic viewpoint. At the bare minimum we humans will never be able to know if an AI feels anything, especially if the standard is the AI feeling as a human might. I don't believe there is a requisite "why" component involved. -
Just goes to show that no one should be judged by how they dress.
-
The concept is fungibility. Either you see it or you don't, I guess. Before the last real estate crash a friend had paper gains of several hundred thousand dollars on developable, and very salable, land. I told him to exit and log the win. He thought, possibly correctly although it didn't turn out that way, that I was exiting too soon. He held on and lost it all. Like you, he was sanguine about it saying it was only paper gains. I, on the other hand, banked modest but very real profits.
-
Negative. A $100 chip gets you $100 at the cashiers window when you exit the game. Lose it at the table and you just lost $100. Simple.
-
You caught the overturning of Roe, yes? That was a 50 year precedent overturned at the first opportunity by 3 Justices that testified that it was settled law. Some believe that the SC is working......never mind.
-
Just look at these beaming asshats. OK everyone, now that we have women well on the way to wearing burkas and cancelled the idea of gun sanity what say we make voting a lot more difficult for certain Americans. What a disaster.
-
If you lose it, in an absolutist sense, it will no longer be yours. I eschew the idea that it's playing with the houses money. It's not theirs, it's yours. I watched a lot of people not log a win and end up with skittah.
