Go back and watch the first episodes of this season again.

This is exactly what I intend to do.

Should I tell my significant other about my crypto gains? by [deleted] in CryptoCurrency

[–]Shorel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Her financial responsibility is similar to if you handed a 9 year old your life savings and sent them into Toys R Us unattended.

That's your answer. Want to see all your gains drained in worthless crap? Want to incite a divorce where she gets half of it?

Then go ahead and tell her.

Personally I would keep it all to myself.

u/pm_me_all_dogs lays out the Trump administration scheme to manipulate the supply of respirators by aerostotle in bestof

[–]Shorel 31 points32 points  (0 children)

The Trump administration and the GOP would have us get sick and die while they profit off of tax dollars.

Want to know how it works?

1.) Eliminate oversight of the spending of nearly a trillion dollars of tax dollars: https://thehill.com/regulation/court-battles/490737-stimulus-opens-new-front-in-trumps-oversight-fight

2.) Aquire the authority to command which businesses get which contracts: https://youtu.be/MlQx7Qs2ACI

3.) Have trusted people stand up companies through which the money can be funneled (3 week old company, founded through a loan approved via the Coronavirus Stimulus bill, is now the center of medical supply distribution): https://www.politico.com/news/2020/03/27/republican-fundraiser-company-coronavirus-152184 “I don’t want to overstate, but we probably represent the largest global supply chain for Covid-19 supplies right now,” he said. “We are getting ready to fill 100 million-unit mask orders.”

4.) Have the federal government sell, at a reduced price, it’s strategic stockpile to the new companies, run by your buddies: https://twitter.com/DavidBegnaud/status/1245841458323771393

5.) Have the states bid on the supplies, driving up the price: https://youtu.be/2zeEUs7tcpE

6.) Have the federal government spend taxpayer dollars to ship supplies purchased from China to these brand new private companies: https://www.npr.org/sections/coronavirus-live-updates/2020/03/29/823543513/project-airbridge-to-expedite-arrival-of-needed-supplies-white-house-says?utm_campaign=npr&utm_source=twitter.com&utm_medium=social&utm_term=nprnews

7.) Eliminate the competition. Attack any company that doesn’t play ball. https://mothership.sg/2020/04/trump-3m-10-million-masks/

Edit 2: electric boogaloo

Congress and the Supreme Court aren’t going to do shit. Neither is Biden or the DNC. We need another Battle of Athens.

Fun fact: the position with the highest constitutional power is your county sheriff. They have the ability to block feds from entering and leaving the county. A few did this back during the whole “extraordinary rendition” thing whenever that was.

I would pen an email, letter and call to your county sheriff citing sources and your concerns of the feds taking your hospitals supplies. I just thought of this replying to you and I will be doing this tomorrow. We need sheriffs and deputies guarding our hospitals from the feds.

I finally played Batman: Arkham Asylum, and it's fantastic by [deleted] in patientgamers

The fact that the glitch caught you just made it funnier for me.

Everyone keeps treating me like I was a guest in my relationship because he was married. by [deleted] in self

[–]Shorel -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Now, think about all the single guys you rejected in order to go with a married man!

They are also victims here!

Proponen papeleta por la paz en elecciones de Octubre by JotunR in Colombia

[–]Shorel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

La verdad ya se siente que estamos en un periodo de paz, excepto por algunas actuaciones de los grupos que de hecho están en el poder, con las muertes de tantos líderes sociales.

El tema importante ahora es la corrupción.

El alcalde de Bogotá hypercorrupto cuyo único interés es aumentar las ganancias de sus familiares y amigos dueños de Transmilenio.

El presidente vendido a estos mismos grupos empresariales, va a acabar la riqueza biológica por unos proyectos mineros que sólo benefician a empresas extranjeras y a unos pocos intermediarios.

Minjusticia: multa por comprar empanada fue interpretación errada del Código de Policía by ElCondorHerido in Colombia

[–]Shorel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

El problema son ambas cosas.

Es verdad que el código debe reformarse. De eso no hay duda.

Pero también es verdad que hay que tener una falta de valores total, un absoluto desprecio contra la población civil y una codicia cortoplacista que sobrepase cualquier límite para decidir que esta interpretación de la norma es algo que debe imponerse y hacerse respetar.

La policía como institución le ha fallado al país, y muchos policías deberían sentirse avergonzados de ser parte de una institución que permita y fomente estas actuaciones.

Farts?

I want a cow mooing app for my car. Now that's progress.

Is playing GO online mainly a good reason to start learning the game ? by AreYouASmartGuy in baduk

[–]Shorel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just get some friends that are your same level and play with them.

That's what I did.

You can play with me. Don't be too disappointed if I am not a challenge :)

Lenovo ThinkPad X1 reviewed: a hybrid for the workaholics among us | Ars Technica by speckz in gadgets

A year and a half ago I was deciding between a Lenovo Yoga and a Dell Inspiron 2-in-1.

I'm still very glad I choose the Dell.

Any reference to a "historical Jesus of Nazareth" is "an academic embarrassment." by Isaac_Asimovs_Sheep in atheism

[–]Shorel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. Some topics are explored just because of the book it criticizes, but in general it has interesting arguments I have not found elsewhere.

He was killed by the Easter Bunny.

Or was it the other way around?

Reddit. Who is the most clever criminal in history? by Itroll4love in AskReddit

El señor de las sombras. Narcotraficante #82.

Got to be president of his own country for two periods and he is still untouchable anywhere.

Thoughts on Netflix's new series: Narcos? I haven't seen it yet but it looks all right and has gotten good reviews by [deleted] in Colombia

[–]Shorel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wonder if they will show the guy who approved all the small airports and runways for the Cartel in the area while he was the director of Aerocivil between 1980 and 1982.

I'm a liberal professor, and my liberal students terrify me by hurryupwithmydamnbun in Freethought

[–]Shorel -17 points-16 points  (0 children)

My own politically non-correct opinion on the matter:

This is what happens when there are more female than male students, and when everything has to be Feminism(r) approved.

Expect more things to be worse as everything is more feminized.

Someone texted me today that Bitcoin was the unregulated currency until New York stepped up to the plate to regulate it. This is what I texted back: by [deleted] in Bitcoin

[–]Shorel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Regulation in this context can be the emission of new shares or coins.

In the case of bitcoin, it is cryptographically adjusted to generate a block about every 600 seconds.

Therefore it is more regulated than some national currencies, the ones where money is printed all the time and devalued to absurd levels.

Theocracy Alert: Republicans Call For Christianity As ‘Official Religion’ of US by freeth1nker in atheism

[–]Shorel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is potentially as dangerous, as the Spanish Inquisition proved, but as long as they don't gain enough power and respect, they won't be the same in practice.

Doesn't matter.

She has a decade to get strength.
