Shorting needs to be illegal if we want to avoid catastrophic market volatility or massive wealth inequality. This is going to bite small investors and the wealthy will benefit in a big way. 

I used to think in a lot of the same ways, but thankfully I realized that women are people just like me and stopped being such an asshole. 

Women have their own minds, lives, and desires. You’re not always going to be part of that. Once you accept that they are also people, you’ll begin to understand.

As a former sexually frustrated guy that felt a lot of these same feelings, but never outright joined a group, I can say that there are a lot of guys that think being “gentlemanly” Is part of the transaction. When a guy finally understands that it’s not a transaction and that niceness doesn’t ”unlock” sex then they…

Women don’t owe you anything. It doesn’t matter if you’re “nice”, a “gentleman”, or a “Chad”. They are humans, not a resource of sex. It’s not a transaction. You’re life will be better once you accept that. Believe me, once I truly understood that other people count as much as I do and have their own life, I’ve been a…

My wife and I start jobs next week after months of being in constant contact. I’ve grown bored with the no knead bread of early pandemic times and am now trying various versions of soda bread such as Farl and basic loaves.

It’s basically a guideline that says when other “Manly” people say a thing is bad, you should fall in line and think it’s bad too. Like when a woman makes you wear a mask or stop going to restaurants. It's tribalism and men have to be on top. 

The problem begins when people miss the point and are influenced. The joke is intended to be “that guys is an idiot and didn’t realize his insensitivity is offending someone.” but when someone doesn’t get that nuance it just turns into “Isn’t it funny that character is acting like a black man.”

I just wonder if you have to dukes of hazards your way in since it has no door handle. 

Even if he didn’t contact it at the rally, he was definitely transmitting it there. People become infectious carriers for up to two weeks before showing symptoms if they ever do show symptoms. Whether he got it there or somewhere else, big events like that are obviously a poor idea. But hey, I guess if people want to…

I’ll just leave this here. 

*Said while looking down at paperwork on desk*

I just want to zero in on the last ignorant thing you said there. (And boy, there were many.)

The TropeI love most is “Former Big Bad becomes grouchy friend.” Vegeta in Dragon Ball Z, Darth Vader, Practically every character in Yu Yu Hakusho, etc. There’s something so satisfying about your favorite villain becoming not only a series regular, but maybe even your favorite hero.

Here’s a link to an episode of Captain Disillusion which touches on why people want to believe conspiracy theories.

I’m surprised I'm not the only one that thought of this. This is ancient.

I’ve had both from several different restaurants. Living in Toronto I have the benefit of of beyond meat being served at several different fast food places anywhere I go. I prefer beyond meat itself since I like a charred Patty and I’ve never been able to get that when I got impossible. But beyond is well ahead of…

Sorry for the wall. People love cautionary tales of the dangers of technology so this movie could work as the background to a more human story. Hell, I was a proponent of AI being our saviour, but universal paperclips is a story about how a vague ai design can (worst case) result in the destruction of all life as we…

I'd also point out that he has five stars on his shorts. Is that a normal part of the uniform?

Get well Mike. I’ve been reading your stuff for over a decade. I truly appreciate how your personality shines through what you write. I feel like you put your heart on your sleeve and people have connected to you through it, so know we genuinely care about you and wish you a speedy recovery.
