He got the hat trick with recommending "On Killing", suggesting that ~The Agencies~ are inappropriately held back by laws, and saying the cop was right

...How the gently caress are representatives allowed to have stocks at all? Wouldn't that lead to massive conflicts of interests in which no one could be sure what they're doing isn't just lining their own pockets?

I made the mistake of telling an old co-worker that maybe he shouldn't invest all his savings in this current drugs and child porn and idiocy backed Bitcoin bubble

Now he tags me in articles about how apmex now sells gold for Bitcoin. And everything else.

Yup! Fortunately for Congress, they get a pass on SEC investigations because of reasons.

quote:

In a little-noticed brief filed last summer, lawyers for the House of Representatives claimed that an SEC investigation of congressional insider trading should be blocked on principle, because lawmakers and their staff are constitutionally protected from such inquiries given the nature of their work.

Dancing palm tree.
On killing had several arguments debunked and also it comes off as pseudo intellectual. “Hmm yes as an officer (or even better, d&d scrub with no life experience in this case) who has read on killing let me just say...”

i've evolved a lot in the last several years. i used to think men have dicks and women have vaginas and there is nothing else to it (i still think that to an extent, if i am being totally honest, but i have come to the realization that people should be able to do what they want in order to be happy as long as it doesn't stop anyone else from doing the same, and i don't hold it against anyone who is just trying to be happy with themselves, you want me to call you she, that's fine because it really doesn't affect me at all). i also thought trayvon martin was a justified killing, and backed the cops whenever they would shoot someone, without question.

i was always a fan of obama, even though i will always say the way he handled foreign policy could have been way better, but gently caress, four years ago i might have voted trump.

probably not coincidentally, i was an angry piece of poo poo and i hated everything about my life four years ago.

We're not all super right wing. Or super left wing. Nor all military, for that matter. But there's generally some nuance and difference of opinion in discussions as a result and that's valuable. Most important of all tho is that none of us are anywhere as annoying as you. Go back to DnD.


E: Hell, go back to school. Aren't exams coming up?

Who the gently caress name drops IR academics in casual conversation that isn't a student boasting and trying to sound smart or just academic sneering. You should be mocked for either, frankly.

Maybe I'm just jaded from all the pew pews overseas but every police incident like this makes me think back to being in 10th grade and having a DARE officer explain to our class how when he makes a traffic stop he has to be ready to shoot us. Because that's the reality of his job, every member of the community is potentially going to draw down in every encounter, which makes self defense the primary function of "protect and serve"ing those people. So really most cops are like PFCs without a PSG there to stop them from loving up, and they can be PFCs for as long as they feel like busting public skulls right there at home. Nothing will change until there is some institutional commitment to anything beyond loyalty, but since there are like tens of thousands of separate institutions good luck with all that.

Met some bitcoin bros tonight the bar.

Which the distributor will be okay with because it helps the greater masses.

The people who are that into are yeah. I think I saw something on reddit that showed some representatives putting together a bill about crypto currency. Essentially making it illegal to hide it. Meaning, taxes are coming.

Also lol at people that have like 25% or more of their net worth in crypto.

Like I could see having maybe 1-2% of a portfolio tied up in crypto, but Jesus Christ I couldn’t imagine selling other assets to invest in crypto, like it makes as much sense as dropping a couple G’s in Star Citizen and expecting a game to actually come out.
