True, and that also shows the type of people they are.

Just don’t say it.

these are not canned fish. These are raw fish, that are preserved trough a technique called gibbing (take out the gills and guts, but leave in the liver and pancreas. Then preserve in salt. And nowadays, freeze) Because this is still basically raw fish, it is an extremely sensitive product, and preparing it is an art.

I don’t have any insider knowledge, but I assumed that the stores received the raw product from their distributors, and prepped and sold it in their own specific ways. So, no manufacturing middle man.

It’s Ray Allen, not Allen Iverson. But for what it’s worth, I’ll believe whatever Allen Iverson says about anything anyway, so I still agree with you.

My name is Monique. It’s right there in my byline, at the bottom of the article in my bio AND right next to your name in the comment. Don’t play with me. Don’t disrespect my name or the spelling thereof.

And yet, many places now have signs up saying they take bitcoin. A currency is entirely dependent on whether people take it as such. If you invent a currency tomorrow and convince at least one other person to take it in return for goods or services, it’s money. If you can convince someone to change your currency for a…

Quite literally, in this case.

Bitcoin is going to fail, the theory behind cryptocurrency won’t. It will just take an investment in protection behind its value, as you suggest, by some sociopolitical power. “Fight the man” is all well and good until you have your currency stolen with no recourse to recover.

Because of the sentences immediately preceding that one.

Maybe that’s the whole point. Get the young wealthy Libertarian minded people to invest heavily in Bitcoin and other digital currencies to escape from the evil government and the BAM! steal it or just make it disappear and suddenly all the new money folk are penniless and the old money oligarchs are the ones left with…

Bitcoin isn’t going to fail because it’s made up out of nothing. All currency is made up of nothing; this was part of Marx’s argument and why capitalists saw the argument, realized it was in fact correct, and then took all the world’s currencies off the gold standard.

If ANY of them can be described as ‘smart’ or even self-aware, it’d probably be Vinny. I guess.

They have been brainwashed for decades. For the older ones, in ways we can’t even imagine any more. Being repeatedly raped by your husband was “normal” for these women and their mothers. And legal until 1993, let’s not forget. I don’t so much blame them as the insanely cruel society that created them.

As someone who was a victim services worker I can tell you that women of all ages, sizes, shapes, sexualities, gender presentations, and levels of attractiveness experience violence. Your friend sounds like an asshole.

I try to remember that these are women who grew up having to play the game by a very specific set of rules in order to participate in society. It’s ingrained. We didn’t even have words to describe some of the things we understand now.

That was a while ago, no? I do agree that his team made him quit Twitter before he went on a full rant or said something that killed Call Me By Your Name’s award season.

I would have bet serious money that title would go Midsomer, UK. 

Someone once calculated that Cabot Cove must have had the highest murder rate per capita of any place in the world.

Wait, I looked it up. Cabot Cove has a murder rate of 1490 murders per million residents. El Salvador, the current leader in the murder rate stats, has a murder rate of 108 murders per million residents.

I was super-duper worried that he’d get asked a tough question, and then he’d be like, really uncomfortable and stuff.
