Interesting - how do you get fiat into your PayPal account? I agree that they won’t be doing business with #1 and in general they shouldn’t be. The people in group #2 are too poor to make money off of in a retail banking operation, but if you can cut costs enough (and scale enough) I don’t think it’s impossible to…

I'm not a fan of PayPal either. I'm not sure this compares though. As far as I know (to be fair I haven't used PayPal in like a decade) there's no fiat gateway to using PayPal, so if you don't have a bank account already you're out of luck. My reading of this was Libra wanted to enable people to use fiat to purchase…

This is true. However, a lot of people don’t have other conventional options available to them. If you are unbanked you are already jumping through a lot of hoops just to pay bills or get a loan. 

There isn’t that much variance in the core of banking regulations across countries. In order to do business with US banks most countries align pretty closely with US AML / KYC laws which include what information needs to be collected and what is reported to the regulator.

They will likely have merchants that act as a bank by accepting fiat and loading your wallet with Libra. You can do this currently in Barbados. 

Yeah wearing tights is super comfy. You really are putting your junk out there though, which is awkward for everyone.

I saw my buddy tear his Achilles playing basketball a few years ago. It looked almost exactly the same. He was dribbling slowly on the perimeter and went down, a total freak accident.

Why bring a tree as a gift? There’s a good reason it needs to go into quarantine. If you are giving someone a gift that they need to keep hermetically sealed so it doesn’t ruin your other shit...that’s a bad gift.

My buddy just sold his salvage-title piece of crap car this weekend and the pictures he spent three minutes taking looked better than these.

If that was a legitimate concern then people would care about the 6,000 pedestrians cars killed last year in the US.

I can’t imagine them ever being convenient in Houston. The entire city seems to be 2 million people spread across 1000 square miles divided up by 20 freeways.

Bike share only works if you have a critical mass of bikes / docks. I used to live in Chicago and used the Divvy bikes probably 10 rides a week. In Salt Lake we have a bike share but it only has about 30 docks. I have used it exactly one time. 

The fact that rule is so long tells you everything you need to know. The written rules of baseball are 9000000000 pages long yet somehow there’s another million pages of unwritten idiocy.

I somehow went to like 30 games the year the Tigers lost 119. Baseball was better as a kid because kids are goddamn idiots and don’t understand how stupid it is.

And Jimmy likes to shoot leopards and elephants. https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/jimmy-john-liautaud-hunting-photos/

An officer who stood outside of the Parkland high school while the shooting was going on was arrested yesterday. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/06/04/us/parkland-scot-peterson.html

The kind of person who wants to have a gun so they can shoot a student is not the person who should be a teacher.

I’m sure it was fun but I have a really hard time believing everything got cleaned up. And you are a fucking idiot for doing this. Glad you didn’t kill anyone else trying to use the highway. “Tim and I decided to just tow his car back to Flint. 100 Miles. With a Nylon tow strap looped around his bumper. It was among…

She bought shitty pot :(

As a millennial I totally agree with this. However this actually looks really good to me.
