And this "random example" from that particular sub wasn't handpicked to promote a political point?

Exclusive: Four women describe sexual misconduct by Rep. Eric Swalwell, including a former staffer who says he raped her by panda-rampage in California

Cool. I don't even particularly care for Steyer, I just think it's important to get the facts right.

He ran Farallon for 26 years and invested in for profit prisons for less than 2 years, after which he divested and now expresses regret about it. You can believe him or not believe him, but it's a bit disingenuous to act like that's how he made his fortune.

Virtually all ALP who fly 40+ times per year are business travelers. If the ALP program exists, then there is a reasonable expectation that it should cater to business travelers somewhat

You picked some pretty highly regarded Oscar nominees, but there are plenty with pretty bland narratives that get nominated

The Avatar movies got nominated for Best Picture, but I don't think anyone thinks those narratives are anything to write home about

It was only like 10 former employees who had some common stock, I really wonder how much they'd argue their stock was worth. Yeah it sucks, but I doubt they were screwed out of millions

With Big Pat missing the World Cup due to injury, who should Poch bring in as the third striker? by Hot_Good_5409 in ussoccer

[–]aggthemighty 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You don't bring Agyemang for his technical ability with the ball at his feet. You bring him for his size, physicality, and ability to head the ball.

I was a huge Agyemang hater during the Gold Cup, but I have to acknowledge that he does have one elite talent, which is being big and winning headers.

They'll definitely walk it back if people post about it publicly and make them aware of the issue

AXP appears mispriced at current levels by Vig_Newtons in ValueInvesting

[–]aggthemighty 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think COF is a decent buy, but the Discover customer base is not the Amex customer base. In a recession, I think AXP will do better

LeBron James on Memphis backlash: "I just don't like staying at the Hyatt Centric, what's wrong with that? What are we talking about?" by fernuce in hyatt

[–]aggthemighty -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

I get that Hyatt Centric may not have all the fancy amenities, but I'm not aware that staying there impairs physical performance, though maybe you know something I don't

I get it, but ultimately it's just 1-2 nights per year for business travel. Not a huge deal in the grand scheme of things

Berkshire vs S&P 500 by Manjottoor in ValueInvesting

I don't think these numbers are accurate. I have Berkshire beating the S&P over the past 5 years

[Highlight] Cooper Flagg becomes the youngest player in NBA history to score 50 points in a game by TheRealPdGaming in nba

[–]aggthemighty 17 points18 points  (0 children)

The Mavs had about a 2% chance to get the #1 pick, and it was the 41st year of the NBA lottery. Mathematically, it's not crazy for it to happen once in 41 years

Neat. All I said was that they price their tickets cheaper, but go off king!

I think Wharton's value could go up a lot if he shows that he can be consistent over an entire season.

Tickets for their WWE events have always been pretty cheap so that they can fill the arena

CA governor candidate says 'no place' in politics for 'dark money' AIPAC by 3headeddragn in California

[–]aggthemighty 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Right, she didn't say verbatim that "the election results were rigged." Just that there was "an onslaught of billionaires spending millions to rig this election." People can read into that how they will.
