An FDIC-type insurance probably won't work for something as volatile as crypto. Cryptocurrency valuation is closer to a stock than a simple bank deposit. There is no insurance for stock investments either. I feel bad for regular people that get roped into fancy new ways to be essentially...

And yet somehow--somehow!--this guy that can't even read a teleprompter keeps finding new ways to hand y'all your asses :p. I think I'm slowly being converted into the whole Dark Brandon meme after all. You guys have every reason to be beating him right now, except you decided to double down...

My expectations were exceedingly low, yet somehow Biden is poised to have the "best" midterm showing since Bush Jr (which was during wartime). The ads here were insane. Republicans tried to blame everything on Democrats: - inflation (a worldwide phenomenon that not a single Republican...

I understand the impulse to say, even from a scientific perspective, there is no such thing as race. It's an attempt to create a colorblind world. But I've never understood it. For starters, all humans are genetically similar. But there are a few differences. It's genes that code for...

Madrid, 1987 (trailer link posted below) Excellent Spanish movie that wouldn't get made after MeToo went down. Why? It's basically an established author/journalist using his experience to bed a journalism mentee. He tries to bed her not with charm or smooth talking, but by simply taking...

I've made this point in a roundabout way the gazillion times this topic has come up. Why is it only black men carrying the burden for other black men's bad behavior when I can bet my life some segment of all ethnicities also behave badly? This is all to say the "I don't see ALL black men...

https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2022/10/pelosi-republicans-partisan-political-violence/671934/ So apparently David Frum and I share the same mind now haha. He also gave some examples I didn't. I couldn't stand Frum when he was Dumbya's speech writer. But given that most of his...

The closest I can get to a lazy "Both Sides" argument is there have definitely been a few Democratic leaning supporters that have committed or attempted to commit political violence. The guy that shot Steve Scalise at a Congressional baseball game a few years ago was a Bernie supporter. The guy...

The c-word is harsh-sounding (unless it's coming from a woman), but hearing or saying "twat" only makes me want to fuck a woman silly. Definitely a fan of twat.

As long as I know where the SWs migrate to if they leave Twitter, that's all I care about. Beyond that, I'm honestly trying to imagine how buying Twitter at all, much less at an inflated price won't end up being a tremendous, ginormous own goal. Let's check the tape: - company doesn't make...

You have to remember that the 1st amendment protects his nonsense. We used to live in a world where people could discern insane bullshit but with the world of disinformation that Alex Jones and his sort are building, that's no longer the case. But it's not even enough to say false things. They...

It's early but so far this season feels like an episode of the Twilight Zone. Like how the Giants have a better record than the Packers (including beating the Pack), or the Saints not being formidable, or Dak Prescott getting injured and Cowboys only beating garbage teams. Ok ok, that last one...

There's far too much to cover in this thread, so I'm only hitting a few points. * The dating market is indeed worse now and modern advances and internet have their parts to play in that. Once upon a time, people dated and married those closest to them. With better transportation means, your...

Want to stress Tishina's post about using PayPal. Unless the SW explicitly mentioned PayPal, I would stay away from it. PayPal is notorious for freezing SW accounts. I know from personal experience with dealing with a Montreal indie. I'm even having issues with Paysend, which I successfully...

I'm not much of a drinker (that's why I'm obsessed with women) so I mostly abstain. But if she's coming over to my hotel, I always ask in advance what she likes to drink and buy it or have something available for the agency ladies in addition to water.

A recent experience where the lady INSISTED she's playing music after I said the quiet is better (as did she when she first stopped playing music) reminded why I prefer no music. And on top of that she played EDM, a genre that's shitty on its own and not always conducive to sexy time. But it...

I'm going to be in Paris in the very near future and would definitely like to get some play in (time permitting). But I don't know where to start with agencies. I did see some indies on Tryst, but that's been the extent of my research.

On top of everything Cricklewood said, this. My Montreal days are populated with taking a nap after a vigorous session with multiple rounds. I never feel sleepy after round one. And I'm in above average shape for my age. It's just that sleepy time comes naturally after getting a workout in...

So sorry for your loss, Anna. I lost a dog for the first time ever in February. She went from fine to two seizures and then not being herself in one short week. The whole week was tough, as I vacillated between being happy that she is her old self again to knowing what I must do so that she...

I watched part of Jesse Watters' show on Fox News on Friday night. He cycled through parroting things Trump himself suggested like the documents were already declassified to all the FBI had to was ask for documents if they wanted them. But in the real, non MAGA world the president doesn't...
