I’ll take that back somewhat after reading the story, it does sound like there was a gang of girls at Scores drugging dudes and robbing them, so while I still find the OP credible in her experience, it clearly was in fact going on at that establishment.  Maybe the accounting fraud person was in fact joking.

It sounds like you are joking, like tell Trump accounting fraud is unacceptable in NYC...  Strippers not drugging and robbing people is credible, accountants not playing games with money is not.  Go back to Arthur Anderson and be quiet...

Yeah, and the sperm donor has the right to tell them to bug off, but the Mom can't sign away the kids right to try and contact their dad.  Just for family medical history if for nothing else, and DNA advances are making it much easier.

Is that true that their life expectancy is 35? That’s crazy low, I wonder if it’s homicide, suicide, drugs or disease or what is killing them.  I hope that's a made up statistic...

As maybe a bit of a hillbilly, don’t put that NYC stuff on us. Woody and Trump and such are iconic NYC, not hillbillies at all.

Haha, I do feel sympathetic with your trying to summarize this nonsense.  I like it, although your leaders are kind of letting you down as far as coherent narrative ...

Come on now, silver is useful.  Your overall point stands though.

A bit.  A I think I did one myself, but the next one I tried was Rusty and old and it leaked after I did it until a plumber fixed it.  The toilet was old and Rusty I mean, if it didn't fall apart when I wrenched on it I think it would have been fine.  It isn't too hard though, you just need to install it under the…

Citation needed. Obama wasn’t terrible on the economy, but he wasn’t good either. He let the criminals win with the bailouts, ran up the deficit and just kicked the can down the road. He screwed up healthcare reform and justice system reform and climate change. Dropped the ball on the TPP. Income inequality only…

I mean, we got Trump because Obama was toothless, and Hillary seemed likely to be even worse. Trump sucks but he’s actually not that bad in practice, compared to Obama. He says the quiet parts loud and he has no idea what he’s doing, but Obama and Biden and Schumer and Trump are alot more alike than they are…

But winning with empty charisma is as bad as losing, again see Kennedy, Clinton, Obama...

Well, if you are a Bernie or bust socialist Warren is taking a good chunk of his base, which might hand the election to Biden or Trump.  Even Warren is more a capitalist than a socialist, even though she wants to move us toward socialism for the poor rather than just for the rich.  I like either Warren or Bernie, but…

I doubt it’s the kindness of anyones heart that keeps them going...

Fair enough. I don’t live in LA, and I’m not an expert, but it’s my understanding that the LAPD were REALLY bad and are now much less bad. I think the NYPD were and are basically a violent drug dealing gang who run NYC. Some of them, I imagine, are good people... Quite rapey as well, to my understanding... That’s what…

I don’t know why I’m posting this, but my read of his comments is that if you traced back any of our family trees back to the monkeys there is probably a rapist or some incest at some point. That seems likely to me, even in recorded history Genghis Khan is related to a pretty sizable chunk of humanity... I don’t know…

Has it? I thought that the LAPD really cleaned up their act at one point,and went from one of the worst big city police departments to one of the better ones. I’m sure they aren’t perfect, but are they really worse?

In a world of negative real interest rates, are we in like a bizzarro world capitalism, where debt generates wealth? “Gosh, you must owe a lot of money to fund such an extravagant lifestyle!”... “We are losing billions of dollars, and intend to continue losing billions of dollars for the foreseeable future. We are…

A fair bit of the Pacific Northwest tends to be literally on fire these days, it seems to me...

Someone doesn't know their caviar...
