This isn’t crazy nefarious, but its probably not a great deal. But it could work in the homeowner’s favor. This is basically like a home equity loan that captures a chunk of your home’s appreciation (this is the part that Levine/Salmon are discussing). I’d argue that this is convertible preferred debt and not a put.

This is the truth. And its much better than a ‘decent argument’ to say that he’s upped his social/economic status - there’s an extremely strong argument to be made that he’s upped his status.

As much as the commentariate here loves to trot out the Wikipedia list of logical fallacies, its disappointing that you aren’t recognizing a very obvious one: the problem with this article is that its built on a false choice.

I’m not trying to say its a contradiction. I’m trying to highlight a major (and incredibly important) change in his messaging and who he was speaking to. It was a distinct transition.

As of right now, there are 61 replies/comments to this post after having been live for 5 hours. That’s fewer replies than a joke post called “Train Ruins Marathon” has generated in 90min. That’s not the result of sheer chance by a fucking long shot - the Josh/Molly Brown article is infinitely more controversial. Its…

This is such a poor interpretation of history. For fuck’s sake, please read more. Its like white millennials are aware of exactly two of King’s writings: Birmingham Jail and I Have a Dream.

When the current CBA expires, its going to get interesting. Its hard to see a world where the players allow Goodell to keep this degree of unilateral power. On the other hand, I’m sure that the NFL is still going to be expected to be judge, jury and executioner. So what happens if there is another Ray Rice but Goodell…

“the aim of protest isn’t unity, but change” —> this is such a retrograde and exhausting trope. It just drips of juvenile self righteousness. Millennial progressivism has ZERO interest in making the world a better place and wants everything to do with scoring points for the home team. Just fucking dumb, in every way…

Funny you say that - this whole new stance is due to the Ray Rice incident. A friend worked in a PR firm that had a gig with the NFL during the Ray Rice thing. The NLF’s WHOLE stance prior to the Rice incident was “we can’t do nothing, but we are dealing with adults.”

These comments for this article are being heavily curated. If you read some other primary coverage of the Josh/Molly Brown domestic incidents, you’ll understand why.

Your reply is just dumb. Pretending something is fantasy makes it no less real. I stand by the fact that you can’t be older than 15.

Glossing over Molly Brown’s repeated history of domestic violence is a little problematic (to say the least), and, no this is not victim blaming. This is a “he said”/”she said” domestic situation between two painfully miserable and shitty human beings. Its not victim blaming b/c there’s not a clear victim here.

This is a youth thing in my opinion. I feel like people in their 20s are just too young to remember how big a deal it was to see all the flag burning demonstrations in the 1970s and 1980s. The public reaction in the 1980s was exactly the same as it is today: people are inflamed/offended and don’t focus on your…

You can’t be older than 15. I’m around 40, and this was a FUCKING HUGE deal through the 1980s. A huge fucking deal. Google “vietnam veteran treatment after the war” and read away. Their shitty treatment was a very, very real thing.

Honestly, that’s a real rarity. ESPN, SI, Bleacher Report, r/NFL, even NYT etc everywhere basically is very divided and nobody is talking about the issue of justice reform. It all falls into “I agree with the message, therefore CK should suffer no consequences” or “What CK is doing is insulting to [insert X].” I don’t…

He didn’t win. There is no ‘win’ in this scenario. He was never going to be blackballed because the social media reaction would have been deafening. Point out one person to me that’s had a genuine “you know, Kaep has changed my mind.” I’ve honestly been looking for it, but I haven’t seen it. People made their minds up…

Communication, in the context of a social movement, is the idea of creating a message that is convincing to somebody that is 1) unaware of your cause or 2) unfriendly to your cause. Creating a message for people who already agree with you is definitionally virtue signaling and is a waste of time. OWS failed miserably…

Seriously? Or are you snarking?

Your logic simply doesn’t hold. Google “inductive reasoning” and take it to heart.

What planet do you live on? You’re posting bullshit in a quest for stars.
