  1. Gee, it's almost like there's a distinction between targeting those who, you know, actually supported and voted for this legislation vs poors who didn't. I just quite can't put my finger on why there might be a difference there.
  2. If you want @Armybrat in this thread should probably tag him. I suspect he doesn't routinely browse CR.
  3. A) Some women are you, you just don't see them. B) It is very common for some members of an oppressed group to look for ways to further oppress members of that same group.
  4. Have you identified the "moral imposition" that was removed yet?
  5. Jesus, somehow you're worse that a fragile little pussy. You're a boring fragile little pussy. Take some time off and get some new material.
  6. Indeed. @slorch - you are essentially @NowThis or the Scot that fucked a sheep. Yeah you may have built some great bridges and walls but people aren't going to be walking around saying "Slorch the builder".
  7. I am confused what you mean here. Are you suggesting that this indicates that Denver and Minneapolis are more corrupt that Philadelphia, Denver, and Los Angeles? That this indicates something about police forces? I don't know that you're wrong, I don't have data to suggest otherwise, but that seems questionable to me.
  8. You are describing your behavior which I certainly don't have any problem with, it's your money. But you keep saying this is based on historical principles which is bullshit - there is no history of bitcoin in a bear market / end of a debt cycle. It may perform awesomely - I suspect not but definitely not going to claim I know. So I'm not saying you or others should or shouldn't buy more. Just be honest about what is speculation vs what is grounded in history.
  9. I agree but of course the argument against is that he was so dominant that he kept that majority of those clutch situations from occurring. Similar to Shaq (who of course is more extreme) - yeah he may not be your 1st/2nd/3rd choice for clutch situations but if he reduces the games that even have those clutch situations by 50% (just making up a number) it still nets out as pretty awesome.
  10. So historically, how has cryptocurrency performed in a time of high inflation and/or recession that gives you such confidence. I mean, given that this has actually never happened, how can you possibly cite history?
  11. Like 5000 dead lawyers at the bottom of the ocean amiright?
  12. Makes sense the Texans are last. I mean, I can't think of a single scandal associated with the Texans over the last few years. Squeaky clean indeed.
  13. I still have nightmares about The Lil'est Picard screaming "No No No No No No!"
  14. Better than when these kids took over:
  15. Cue the punchline about how you must be a consultant, because you just said something that was true but without adding any value. No shit it has historically performed very well, bitcoin's history coincides with great market growth. Now that doesn't mean it will or won't crash, but I won't give BTC a ton of credit for it's growth in this Dow Jones market:
  16. @Trey3216 - you may have missed this but just wanted to confirm. Your thought is that if the execution of Afghanistan withdrawal went super smooth, Putin wouldn't have invaded Ukraine, or even been less likely to invade? How would that have impacted his thinking?
  17. I think the big 3 all have more potential / higher ceiling than Ivey (not by a lot) but that Ivey has a significantly higher floor than Paolo and Chet (and similar to Jabari). I have a really hard time not seeing Ivey be at least very good, but I can see both Paolo and Chet being mediocre. I agree that it wouldn't surprise me at all to see the Thunder take Ivey but not necessarily because he has more upside.
  18. So far the Warriors have outscored the Celtics in the 3rd quarter by 14, 21, 8, and 6. Hot take alert but if the Celtics can't come out hot in the 3rd they might need to start sizing the Warriors for some rings.
  19. Oh sweet Jesus, just how many @Anastasis's are there in the US?
  20. It's really not that hard. See this handy rules explainer. Balk Rules You can't just be up there and just doin' a balk like that. 1a. A balk is when you 1b. Okay well listen. A balk is when you balk the 1c. Let me start over 1c-a. The pitcher is not allowed to do a motion to the, uh, batter, that prohibits the batter from doing, you know, just trying to hit the ball. You can't do that. 1c-b. Once the pitcher is in the stretch, he can't be over here and say to the runner, like, "I'm gonna get ya! I'm gonna tag you out! You better watch your butt!" and then just be like he didn't even do that. 1c-b(1). Like, if you're about to pitch and then don't pitch, you have to still pitch. You cannot not pitch. Does that make any sense? 1c-b(2). You gotta be, throwing motion of the ball, and then, until you just throw it. 1c-b(2)-a. Okay, well, you can have the ball up here, like this, but then there's the balk you gotta think about. 1c-b(2)-b. Fairuza Balk hasn't been in any movies in forever. I hope she wasn't typecast as that racist lady in American History X. 1c-b(2)-b(i). Oh wait, she was in The Waterboy too! That would be even worse. 1c-b(2)-b(ii). "get in mah bellah" -- Adam Water, "The Waterboy." Haha, classic... 1c-b(3). Okay seriously though. A balk is when the pitcher makes a movement that, as determined by, when you do a move involving the baseball and field of 2) Do not do a balk please.
  21. Full disclosure. I negged solely to have @slorch pos rep @Iceman. I want to see the duality of man, the Jungian thing.
  22. Fair enough. While I wouldn't say "absolutely" that is only in a pedantic sense in that we can't know for certainty. But I would at least say very likely saved lives. I certainly think the officer made the correct decision so not trying to cast any aspersion on the shooting itself, but I also think the ghoulish glee is over the top.
  23. Babbitt sucked and her death, on balance, may have saved lives by preventing further intrusion. But celebrating her death with such glee is pretty gross.
