Malcador Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 Well, not all cops are murderers. They do all seem to be douchebags. Good start to change that would be to ban shades and shaven heads. Why has elegance found so little following? Elegance has the disadvantage that hard work is needed to achieve it and a good education to appreciate it. - Edsger Wybe Dijkstra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for it being unfair and strict, heh, well such is the life of a non-civilian, I'm sure military personnel have to put up with worse.

Guard Dog Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 (edited) Spending and Deficit Set All-Time Records: Feds Spent $3.3 Trillion Through April While Running $1.48 Trillion Deficit Tick tock tick tock.... If you are invested in US bonds get out. The default is inevitable. If you are invested in stocks... well, don't sell if you are down, but large cap is the place to be. If you are in debt get out no matter what you have to do. If you are not stay out at least for a little while. Commodities or tangible investments are the place to be IMO. Remember, gold, silver, real-estate are never worthless. Be VERY wary of crypto-currency right now. Remember it has no value other than what everyone THINKS it has.

Amentep Posted May 14, 2020 Author Share Posted May 14, 2020 On 5/12/2020 at 11:46 PM, Bartimaeus said: Three murderers break into Kentucky woman's home past midnight and murder her. The murderers were reportedly surprised that the occupants of the house would attempt to resist the burglary attempt after having been rudely awakened by the sounds of their home being broken into seconds earlier, and started blindly firing into their home, striking and killing the woman. The boyfriend of the woman who was murdered is currently in jail for defending himself and his lady against the plainclothes, breaking-and-entering, midnight murderers even after it turns out they were, in fact, unable to read, having executed their search warrant upon the wrong house. Oops, think I wrote "murderers" instead of "police officers" a few times there. C'est la vie: https://www.nbcnews.com/news/nbcblk/black-woman-shot-killed-after-kentucky-police-entered-her-home-n1205651 (e): FML, this is not the politics thread. Or, uh, wait...it turns out, they also had coronavirus! More to come... "Records show that the police investigation was centered around a "trap house" more than 10 miles from Taylor's apartment, and that a judge had approved a "no-knock" search warrant, meaning officers did not have to identify themselves, according to The Courier-Journal." No knock warrants should be banned in all municipalities, IMO. I understand the desire of the police to keep people from destroying evidence, but they will continue to lead to these kind of incidents if allowed to stand. Sadly, reading this story reminds me a lot of Kathryn Johnston. I'm sure there are plenty of others people who've lost their lives around the country that others could point out. 1 I cannot - yet I must. How do you calculate that?

That's literally the bedrock of any economy that isn't restricted to direct barter. Remember TP just a few weeks ago? Crypto's main difference with fiat currency is that it isn't backed by any one government, but by the internet itself. You can get goods and services in exchange for it because other people will accept it so they can get goods and services in exchange for it, so long as the internet works and there's a limited supply of it. Its value is purely transactional. Not trying to lecture you here, btw, and I'm not invested in crypto myself. I just think it has the same intrinsic value as gold (unless you desperately need to make wires and are out of copper and silver...), and if we're looking at TOTAL COLLAPSE, neither will be very valuable. And, at this point, the Internet failing would be a bigger disaster than any one economy collapsing, including the US. - When he is best, he is a little worse than a man, and when he is worst, he is little better than a beast.
