ate all the Oreos posted:ICP actually has pretty good opinions on a lot of things and while I'm not gonna stop laffing at weirdos in clown makeup their heart seems to be in the right place They are allies against fascists and white supremacists, as it turns out. That they were declared a gang by DHS is also super lovely.

Consider this your reminder that BoJack Horseman season 4 is out on next week on Netflix which is about a horse who is also a man and a sitcom actor in the 80s who spent most of his money on drugs. It's reverse meta BWM thread. Dogcow fucked around with this message at 05:53 on Sep 3, 2017 |

I don't think either of them really sleep standing up. But horses lay eggs the size of basketballs and a baby horse is called a kid. I know that.

Many people train their horses to sleep standing up because a horse that wakes up laying down may be confused and think it has died, causing it to die.

ate all the Oreos posted:I probably should have put "**** wallet" in quotes because I was just mirroring the original phrasing, I didn't actually mean to ask for details on the wallet other than where it is. Still why would you ask him to identify even which exchange it was on? He can't disclose customer information and you are kind of being a dork by asking him to. Also ICP/juggalos are not good just because they aren't down with the alt-right. What is wrong with you people?

The vast majority of people have the need to feel like they belong somewhere, to something. People who aren't smart/rich/cultured/etc still need something to be a part of. People of color widely have communities based on shared ethnic and cultural heritage, but for somewhat obvious reason it's bad when white people do that. There aren't a lot of communities for people in that situation to be a part of, and ICP fandom is, given the people they're attracting, probably the best conceivable version of a community for white people at the bottom of the economic and cultural heap to get behind. It's not that they don't have problems, but their problems, when compared to the alternative of people who would probably otherwise end up in the Klan or something similar, are pretty benign. The fact that ICP exists is weirdly a pretty strong net benefit to society for the same reason that it's a net positive that section 8 housing exists: people need somewhere to live. It's not that hard to understand. They're real easy to poo poo on, because they're poor rural white people with an average IQ of 85, probably due to FAS and developmental lead poisoning, but you shouldn't poo poo on them, because they've organized into a community that is explicitly inclusive and is at least making attempts at tamping down problematic elements of their subculture.

Solice Kirsk posted:Huh, I always thought horses slept standing up for some reason. I learned something today. Most of their sleeping is done standing up, being prey animals and all. They lay down like that if they feel safe enough for REM sleep which they do require regularly. They will go even more nuts than usual from REM sleep deprivation if they are in a situation where they don't feel safe enough to do it an extended period of time.

I mean I'm not asking him to anymore at this point I'm just clearing up my phrasing to clarify what I meant re wallet vs "Wallet" vs exchange. I acknowledge all that, c'mon therobit posted:Also ICP/juggalos are not good just because they aren't down with the alt-right. What is wrong with you people?

There are more details of the mortgage credit tightening in New Zealand. House sales going to 65% of the previous quantity and lending being about 70% of the monthly amount show an obvious change that is affecting prices. We've gone from an environment where just about any house put on the market would sell quickly to people just not having the finance. The headline leading into the article shows the banks are looking closely at people buying houses with 30 year mortgages where the last payment would be past retirement age. In Auckland the average time to save a deposit is around 10 years then you have to borrow a lot ($800k to $900k) on 30 year repayment. Of course banks are refusing to lend most buyers large sums approaching $1m. https://www.stuff.co.nz/business/money/96401149/banks-tighten-home-lending-for-older-borrowers What I'm also hearing from inside banks is the number of people that are in trouble with their payments or are applying for loans for consumption and having them turned down. There was a lot of borrow to spend activity going on over the past 2-3 years (maybe longer). Everything has changed as mortgagee sales were rare and now there are numerous mortgagee sales and those desperate to sell prior to the bank selling the property for them.

It is one thing to be against neo-Nazis, it is quite another to be pre-emptively against all white cultural / racial associations for no reason other than it feeling awkward. Stinks of guilt by association, and indirect association at that. Perhaps part of why white angry people are angry is precisely because of this? (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

1) gently caress you 2) 'white people' isn't a clan (unless you mean  , you stupid motherfucker)3) polish/german/greek/italian/etc groups are pretty ubiquitous and pop up all the time without issue and are generally enjoyed by wider communities at large because they're legit cultural institutions as opposed to white nationalist bullshit which strangely revolves around gassing fags and kikes, dumbass 4) gently caress you e. gently caress your disingenuous bad faith arguments Guest2553 fucked around with this message at 15:30 on Sep 4, 2017 |

John Smith posted:Disagree. It is very common for Chinese people to set up Clan associations once our people reach a new land. I see no reason why white people are not similarly entitled to set up cultural institutions centred around their common heritage. Beyond the objection that White isn't either an ethnicity or a race, which is relevant (although 'Chinese' has similar issues), white-people only clubs are bad in the US for the same reason why having a "Ethnic Chinese" club in a major Chinese city would be bad but having an American/European ex-pat group in China wouldn't be a huge problem. Power imbalances between minority and majority groups make majority-only groups a method for excluding minorities from opportunity, resources and important social connections. E: Lol, common

Yes, but that is my point. They are not guilty of anything, and yet it is presumptively judged that they are up to ill intentions. Can you not see why it seems unfair that it is acceptable for me to join a Clan association, but unacceptable for Tommy to join his equivalent?

That bitcoin wallet find is exhilarating. Holding a speculative position with funny money that goes 4x is fun enough, but can you imagine if your position went from "a used car" to "2.5x 'gently caress-you' money" at age 35? Plus it's been long enough that his tax rate on this sale is going to be LTCG, it's like a 25% bonus versus if he'd won this same amount in a lottery ticket. I wonder if he's going to liquidate the whole position (I wouldn't) or just diversify it down so that his BTC is only 10% of his remaining net worth?

My crypto holdings are approximately 1% of my net worth, varying depending on the market price. I think it should be a much higher percentage of this guy's portfolio, and I'll justify why: this guy has more money than he ever had any idea he would have, and has been living a presumably frugal existence devoid of the untold riches that this could bring his way. Bitcoin is still a speculative asset with enormous variability of what it's probably worth. I don't think anyone really knows what this asset is worth (lol buttcoin), and I definitely think he should liquidate enough that he'll never have to worry about money again (90% of his position would do quite nicely). But given that he's young and probably has some appetite for risk, I don't think it's an entirely stupid idea to hold on to 10% of that position for the possibility that a bitcoin is worth $10,000 or $20,000 or $100,000 or $1,000,000. It's an asset that's treated him quite richly so far, and he's shown his ability to hold onto it and forget about it while playing a long, long position. If I had a net worth 5 times what we have now, I might have crypto as 10% of my portfolio instead of 1%, but I think it's a foolish decision not to hold some.

Since cryptos almost unilaterally took a massive dive in the last 24 hours at a whiff of instability, maybe, uh, don't put money into something as substantial as a butterfly's fart.
