Short selling is fine, this story is short selling combined with blatant market manipulation. Isn't this guy already under investigation by the SEC?

Mr Interweb posted:Wait, I'm confused. If the pill (Plan B) blocks implantation, then there's no baby that starts to get formed, so how is it killing babies? I mean, this is before the process starts, so if they don't have any abortion related issues with regular birth control pills, what's the distinction? If you're a hardcore pro-lifer, you believe that life begins at conception, which occurs shortly before implantation. So while the fertilized egg is floating around waiting to implant, it's a baby, and if implantation doesn't happen, that baby dies. Therefore, birth control is murder.

Shimrra Jamaane posted:I'm in a real bad and worried mood so I gotta ask. What would a Trump presidency look like exactly? What is the extent of what he could do with the power that comes with being the PoTUS? How much damage could he theoretically do? What checks and balances could there be to stop him from being a total monster? I'm asking this as a serious question, so please don't post one of the trillion jokes about a Trump America. I've read and laughed at them all. All the mechanisms the US government has to stop a Presidential action require the cooperation of Congress or the Supreme Court. If all 3 of them are in agreement there's not a whole lot to be done about it (without a revolution, at least). He's not going to be President, though, even after this.

berzerker posted:Lots of the value they add isn't even financial and has nothing really to do with regulations. It comes from being able to hail taxis to a specific location, see where that cab is so you're not waiting outside for 45 minutes before calling and finding out they never sent anyone, get a printed map of your trip for a receipt, and pay automatically without having to deal with the right amount of cash and how much to tip, etc. All of those things should be possible with a traditional taxi company and occupational relationship, though, not the sort of "you're bound to the company but the company doesn't have responsibilities to you" grey zone that Uber established.

Hello. My name is Mandy Patinkin. You frequently quoted my most famous role. Prepare to quote:“I would like to be with Senator Cruz for a moment and I would like to respectfully ask him, since he quotes all the lines from ‘The Princess Bride’ and certainly all of my character, Inigo Montoya’s, lines, I would like to know why he doesn’t quote my favorite line?” That line, Mr. Patinkin said, was among the last his character utters in a movie that essentially taught that love conquers all.

I don’t know if I can translate the poo poo into rap or not, but I’ll try… In 500 years, they’re going to talk about rap the same way we talk about Shakespeare. I just want to throw my hat in the ring, that's all. I don’t want to make money.” quote:[There's a ] big loving check in RZA and Cilvaringz’ pocket now, but if they’re starting to turn up on me… The Albanian community is a very weird community.

People say it’s one of the craziest ethnicities there is in terms of their loyalty and bloodlines and poo poo like that.
