  1. well he needs to hire a fucking offensive coordinator because his playcalling is more cooked than Lincoln Riley's brisket
  2. Defense really shit the bed on 4th down on Georgias 35. Holy shit how can he jump offsides
  3. What an absolute dumpster fire lmfao. Offsides and a PI
  4. I mean, there's nothing wrong with gambling on purely speculative assets but you shouldn't be lying to yourself and others that it's a security just because it makes you feel good to say it
  5. But you're saying the only reason to buy it is to sell it to a greater fool later. Other assets represent real tangible goods or interests in a business. Bitcoin is an entry on a distributed spreadsheet - by your argument it's not good for anything else. So why is a line item on a distributed ledger intrinsically a security? If there's no value or function intrinsic to the thing itself, I mean
  6. So you're saying it's entire purpose is not to deliver a utility but fish for a greater fool? I can't disagree
  7. The underlying protocol hasn't changed. Code is law in cryptocurrency, and it's definitionally a currency with extremely low throughput and extremely high energy requirements
  8. https://bitcoin.org/en/bitcoin-paper The title of the white paper is "Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System"
  9. Lol. Lmao, even. That's not on-chain transactions, it's a side-chain with a trusted third party like lightning is. Trusted third parties break a core operating principle of the Bitcoin protocol and white paper. You're just recreating the banking system, but with way less efficiency and way more money laundering
  10. Honestly their in-game production is a much better product than the other broadcasts imo
  11. Goddamn if Putin has a picture of trump blowing Clinton that would be a big surly bingo lmfao https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/epstein-bubba-trump-blowing/
  12. check out Timberline for solar shingles if you want that sort of thing - they install like normal asphalt shingles and don't put holes in your roof like installing traditional panels do
  13. Aaaaand that's why republicans attack the notion of critical thinking
  14. Huh interesting, Fannie Mae seems to be selectively leaking information to illegally collude with competition and move the mortgage rate. Love picking winners and losers https://apnews.com/article/fannie-mae-freddie-mac-firing-pulte-data-a4f8c53df74fef83ec7fd07e3d524746 WASHINGTON (AP) — A confidant of Bill Pulte, the Trump administration’s top housing regulator, provided confidential mortgage pricing data from Fannie Mae to a principal competitor, alarming senior officials of the government-backed lending giant who warned it could expose the company to claims that it was colluding with a rival to fix mortgage rates. Emails reviewed by The Associated Press show that Fannie Mae executives were unnerved about what one called the ā€œvery problematicā€ disclosure of data by Lauren Smith, the company’s head of marketing, who was acting on Pulte’s behalf. ā€œLauren, the information that was provided to Freddie Mac in this email is a problem,ā€ Malloy Evans, senior vice president of Fannie Mae’s single-family mortgage division, wrote in an Oct. 11 email. ā€œThat is confidential, competitive information.ā€ He also copied Fannie Mae’s CEO, Priscilla Almodovar, on the email, which bore the subject line: ā€œAs Per Director Pulte’s Ask.ā€ Evans asked Fannie Mae’s top attorney ā€œto weigh in on what, if any, steps we need to take legally to protect ourselves now.ā€ While Smith still holds her position, the senior Fannie Mae officials who called her conduct into question were all forced out of their jobs late last month, along with internal ethics watchdogs who were investigating Pulte and his allies.
  15. honestly a good bit of "double clicking" into the headline. It's a really important datapoint that "most downloaded" in that category is just 3000 downloads at $0.99 a pop. Not really groundbreaking, nor the "real" charts
  16. 100% agree - we've already seen consequences from the Crown of England over Epstein. Time will tell who all is stained, but it sounds a little qanon-adjacent when you're seemingly more concerned about the Clintons over everything else
  17. ...yes? But the Clintons aren't the ones who are spinning up situation rooms in the basement of the White House and begging people to not vote to make things public. But the most recent release by the republicans did include a snippet of epstein saying that Bill had never been to the island, for whatever that's worth.
  18. why is trump giving Guiffre's abuser such a cushy ride and a goddamn puppy in federal prison is a better question, imo
  19. people like @ChickenSandwich are VERY concerned, as they always are about mortgage fraud
  20. Why even HAVE education?? It's just gonna """undermine parental control""", like they said in their old party platform. Can't have any critical thinking skills, nosireebob.
  21. Coffeezilla has an obligatory video on this release by the dems, and following larger release by the GOP without the redactions the dems did. Notably, the [victim] in the redactions WAS Virginia Guiffre and so he 100% DID know who she was. Which makes it even more strange that the President has spoken so kindly about Maxwell and given her such a cozy prison sentence. He's even given her a fucking puppy in prison - her guards are getting fed up of "being her bitch" also, it's fucking GROSS that Michael Wolff was such a close confidant of Epstein. Had no idea that he was basically a PR person and strategist for a pedophile
