Wait Farange is coaching Trump now? I thought it was Christie? And it's not "coaching" that Trump needs, it's to literally be a completely different person.

I still genuinely don't believe that Trump can do any debate prep or be coached because doing so requires recognition of his own faults. He's basically just finding celebrities to practice zingers with instead of schlubs like before.

Like Russia and former Soviet countries have been absolutely dominating everyone in international math competitions for several decades now. And a good chunk of the foundational work in communication/information theory was done by Soviet mathematicians (e.g. Kolmogorov). This is basically the equivilant of arguing that the Chinese are the most powerful hackers in the world because Asians Are Good At Math flashman posted:Russia is a lovely country with no money Also this.

So does Assange think that even if it was a full on balls to the wall threat to assassinate Assange, the American Public wouldn't be 80% "who?," and 19.99% "Good I hope she follows through with it?"

So the expectations for Trump at the first debate were low as gently caress and he still managed to fail to match them Now they're even LOWER. How low do they have to be before a "tie" is virtually the best outcome?

Donald Trump was caught on tape saying he'd really like to gently caress a woman (in those words) and that he went at her like a bitch (in those words) and that since he's a TV star he can grab pussies and women cant do anything about it.

She was asked a question that seemed to take her off guard (to be fair it was one of those internet questions that was basically "why are you a two faced bitch") and fumbled the answer somewhat. That was basically the only real flaw in her performance, aside from not owning Trump hard enough.

Furnaceface posted:I would not be surprised if mental illness/poor mental health were approaching epidemic levels in many western nations. We still treat it as taboo and refuse to talk because it makes us feel uncomfortable. Id vote so hard for a candidate pushing mental health reform for the healthcare system or even mental health awareness at this point. It's at epidemic levels everywhere and the West is generally the only place where it's even acknowledged to exist.

The currently ongoing bubble is a global housing bubble being driven largely by China. The US is actually pretty insulated from this but countries like Canada and Australia are going to be increasingly hosed as China grinds to a halt.

FactsAreUseless posted:Can you expand on this? What does China's housing market look like? I'm oversimplifying a whole lot but property is insanely expensive for a country whose per-capita GDP is like 90th in the world and whose average yearly income is around $5000, in part because it's considered a "safe" place to get money and assets because of a prevailing assumption that prices will only ever grow. The government tacitly encourages this because it keeps GDP growth looking higher than it actually is and because they think that they can control the bubble. Also because they are still pouring free credit into the economy in an effort to prop up growth and people are using that to take out easy cheap loans and buying houses with them. Countries like Canada and Australia are affected because they are extremely popular destinations for wealthy Chinese to park assets due to their role as not-being-China and also I think Commonwealth, which means they're easier to access if you go through Hong Kong. Fairly decent rundown here: http://www.wsj.com/articles/chinas-latest-property-bubble-more-perilous-than-last-one-1475860134

I should also point out that in China you're seeing banks take out loans from other banks to pay down debt that they already have from other banks, ie the exact same sort of financial Human Centipede you saw in the US before the Lehman collapse

Analog_Kid posted:You would be talking about the pride of the south, the American cockroach. "Waterbug" is more polite than saying "I am overrun by giant mutant roaches". The advantage of the American roach is that they generally don't infest buildings and prefer the outdoors German roaches are the real indoor terrors (although they eat bedbugs)
