sure, but that’s not the starting point. that’s not Leigh’s starting point. that’s nobody in this comment section’s starting point. in fact ive literally never seen anyone try to make an argument with that as their starting point.

I’m not sure what the difference is. The point is that Rubio won’t go against the NRA because he is afraid of what the personal consequences would be, regardless of how many children get slaughtered. If you’re trying to make the distinction between NRA contribution money and NRA contribution money + support, that…

“Though a promotion for gin—a clear spirit—it is the color of whiskey, which we all know is the manliest alcohol.” I truly don’t know what is being said here. What is the color of whiskey? “The promotion” ? That’s weird, good luck making a an advertisement that’s clear.

eh, no i mean you run on a platform, and if you win the election, that means the people agreed with your platform. it’s not possible to represent every one of your constituents’ wants, because so many of them have conflicting views.

lol anyone who works from home while one or more <3yo children are in the house without any other supervision, isnt working. not at all. or they’ve got some seriously neglected children.

lol wut

for the angry birds, yeah. you know how much of an advantage a wide screen like that gives you!?

yeah or just like. wait until you need a new phone and then do research on whats available.

got a big-ass power-supply/surge-protector that everything runs through. power flickers? no problem. power goes out? have plenty of time to save my work before shutting down.

ok but there’s just no explanation for the head of the sperm, other than the artist subtly adding a sperm to the painting on purpose. Obama doesn’t have a mole there or anything. and given that the painter is known for this type of thing... last thing i want to do is agree with hannity about literally anything, but i…

A little less spermy? it’s a vein, its vein-shaped. Sperm are sperm-shaped. There’s nothing about the vein in the painting that makes it look spermy.

hah once you tell your mom, cat’s out of the bag. everyone in the mom network will know, then all their kids will know, then you get ambushed at your high school reunion and held for ransom.

yeah, but also rich people are actually rich. whereas a normal person spending $100 for some convenience is taking a meaningful bite out of their savings.

you can feel whatever you want, but when you’re in a position of power and use that power to implement or try to implement policies to the detriment of those people that you’re uncomfortable with, then its a problem.

lol, what’s wrong with you. it was extremely relevant to the rest of his comment.

Sure, but you listed a sequence of causal factors that were inaccurate. I agree the end result is essentially the same.

thats not really how it works. (a) difficulty is reduced based on the number of miners, not the other way around. if bitcoin price continues to drop, the miners will leave on their own because its not viable to mine bitcoin at the current difficulty/btc price. (b) those who stop mining bitcoin, switch to another…

its the same, and that was my point, $6k is the price point for the current difficulty, but if price drops to $1k, then the difficulty will be similarly decreased, meaning people will still be mining.

price point is dependent on mining difficulty. mining difficulty is determined by the amount of resources actively mining. with current difficulty, maybe $6k is the price point, but if price drops, then the difficulty will end up being reduced until it all balances out again.

“the biggest one-point drop ever” aren’t all one-point drops the same size?
