I know you're joking, and it was good (now I'll take the off-topic hit), but our good intentioned release of the mentally ill in the 60s & 70s has been a long term failure, and we've known that and done next to nothing about it, and yet we wonder how the mentally ill get access to guns. Here's a NYT article from '84.
Agreed, but it's the same lure used to get people who are bad at math, to play the lottery, because they want to get rich quick or think they actually have any kind of realistic chance. All the while, the majority of the people (70% according to one study...google it) who do hit, go broke because they don't know how to handle money in the first place.
verb (used with object), entitled, entitling. 1. to give (a person or thing) a title, right, or claim to something; furnish with grounds for laying claim
Nope, and it doesn't matter one iota how much they paid themselves.
Exactly. So often, people get all giddy about a brilliant idea, and don't understand that it takes more than a good invention to make a good company. If the management doesn't have business expertise, the odds are extremely high that they will fail. If you want to learn to invest the right way, you should be learning from places like http://www.aaii.com/ I got a lifetime membership for $400 back around 1990, and it's easily paid for itself.
Please google "percentage of startups that fail", and tell us what Fortune and Forbes links pop up right near the top. Go ahead, you big mouthed moron, we'll wait while you go read and learn something.
You clearly didn't watch. I did (for $40, not $100), and in my not so humble opinion, and as someone who's spent a few years sparring, it was not fake. Now, you can legitimately argue the value of their take home purse, but that's a different issue.
I watched it for $40 in a theater. It wasn't one hour, it was four hours, and had three title fights leading up to the grand finale. If you're not into boxing, you probably wouldn't care. I mostly thought it was a scam as well, but watching it changed my mind, not that anyone's actually worth the absurd amounts these guys got.
If you don't enjoy MMA or Boxing, why the fuck are you even commenting. My double-MBA wife (the rabble) bought $40 tickets for our date night, We watched on the big screen from huge recliners, and in of my low expectations or Connor, he put up a decent fight for the first few rounds until he got gassed, which was part of Mayweather's plan.
Connor's longer reach, and his ability with the jab, and counterpunching won him the first few rounds, but he wasn't able to hurt Floyd with the few good punches he got in. Floyd didn't really do much of anything until round 4, and from then on, he was just picking Connor apart. For those who commented on Connor's stamina, if you've never stepped into a ring, you should just STFU. I sparred in TKD for several years (training about 15 hrs/week), and for even folks who are in good condition, going three rounds would wipe you out.
I would say that this not at all frivolous.. From their own testimony the coffee they sold was too warm for direct consumption since it would have caused burns to the mouth and throat.
Then you're as much of an idiot as those who made the award. Everyone knows coffee is served hot, frequently too hot for direct consumption. Fire is hot, don't stick your fucking hands in it.
Bravo. And this is why the idea of "hate crime" needs to die. Crime is crime period. Going down the path of being thought police is destined for failure. For example, let's just say we decided to make racism a hate crime. And now, you have to determine if we should convict Trump. You can certainly point to tweets, that could be interpreted as being racist. And while I think he's a loon, those are interpretations, and not judged the same by the vast majority of his followers. Even the NY Times couldn't find blacks that know him who would call him racist. Far too often, we attempt and fail at figuring out other peoples intentions when they haven't flat out stated them.
And while they shot a lot of them, many others were not. My great uncle was drafted into the German army. Fortunately for me, his older brother, my grandfather, had immigrated to the U.S. before the war. I met this uncle back in the 80s when I got stationed there with the USAF. Speaking to his wife my great aunt, their first real interaction in the war was when the Americans invaded, and as the linked article points out, she didn't see what all the fuss was about, Germans were doing well under Hitler...this lead to some long discussions between us on who she thought was doing all the labor, and who were those people in Dachau. She at least seemed to finally comprehend the problem. Somehow, him and many others I came across between 80 and the fall of the wall, had avoided the bullet between the eyes.
Because people aren't paid in Bitcoin, they can't buy a Big Mac with Bitcoin, and they don't give a rats ass about Bitcoin, so why the fuck do you keep writing about it?
And somehow, people who are hell bent on defending the glorification of racists and slavers who've committed unspeakable atrocities want us to believe that, somehow, THEY are the victims.
We've been ignoring them since the Civil war, and suddenly we're all supposed to focus on that? No thank you. Yes, I'm sorry three people died, but that's where it ends because if you think that's more important than what's going on with NK, Afghanistan, the ACA, or the fact that about 20,000 people die every year to gun violence, well your priorities are fucked. The news media is in business to keep you watching, so they play up anything that pulls a heart string, or says Trump in the headline.
To be fair, I will pull out my phone and look at the screen to avoid any awkward conversations or pointless boring small talk (like on an elevator or waiting in line).
It's a great conversation killer/preventer.
sociopath sspaTH/Submit noun a person with a personality disorder manifesting itself in extreme antisocial attitudes and behavior and a lack of conscience.
So, they're supposed to blindly accept any "security update"? From the same company that forced other unwanted crap upon them? Well, the fact is that more people have received those kind of crap updates from MS than those who've been infected. So, tell us Einstein, which is actually worse?
Even Congress isn't stupid enough to try that w/o solid evidence of a criminal act. In spite of all the whiny rants about Russia, you really don't have any more evidence than those who pissed and moaned about Benghazi.
As it points out in your Atlantic link, you can thank Eric Holder and his ilk.
the so-called Holder Doctrine, a June 1999 memorandum written by the then–deputy attorney general warning of the dangers of prosecuting big banks—a variant of the “too big to fail” argument that has since become so familiar. Holder’s memo asserted that “collateral consequences” from prosecutions—including corporate instability or collapse—should be taken into account when deciding whether to prosecute a big financial institution.
How many lives has the US and how many trillions of dollars have we spent. I'm sure we're doing it to grab the land, or the oil. Oh yeah, that didn't happen. I've spent 40 years of my adult life in and around the military, a dozen of those overseas supporting allies. So let me just say that your opinion is just a bit off.

The part where you deleted the rest of the sentence about tax incentives, which from what some others are saying is really all it is.
