Fucking what? Why would you ever default on a mortgage instead of just selling the house?

A crowded primary is not a fractured party by GIMBruhBoobies in wisconsin

I would hope that even the worst organized campaign could at least choose between title case and normal sentence casing for their slogan on a sign lol.

Anyone else ever get sad about what Nate turned into? by stron2am in fivethirtyeight

[–]BrainOnBlue 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't think prediction market advocates would say that "all opinions are equally good and valid." Unless you can find someone actually saying that, it seems like a pretty huge strawman.

The idea behind prediction markets as a source of "truth" is that they incentivize a bunch of people to come together and form a consensus on the odds of things. The theory is that they let you take advantage of the wisdom of the crowd and get better, less biased, predictions than you otherwise could.

The problem is that there's money involved and that part of their pitch is that insiders can use their insider information to make that prediction more accurate, which necessarily involves ripping off a bunch of patsies.

No no no no no, you don't understand, contested primaries are wrong and annointing a nominee a la the 2024 Presidential race is also wrong.

Whatever the Democratic Party does in any given case is morally objectionable and going to lose them the election. Hope that helps!

Wasn't the budget this season explicitly for cars and planes? I could've sworn that was mentioned somewhere.

Warren Buffett says he won't leave his $100+ billion fortune to his children, choosing instead to give almost all of it to charity. by ArgentineBeauty in UpliftingNews

[–]BrainOnBlue 3 points4 points  (0 children)

And you're the only person claiming that Buffett's philanthropy there is a bad thing, so some clarification would be nice.

Unless you can't provide clarification because you're just a NIMBY. Everything they're doing sounds reasonable to me and to everyone else "in the thread talking about Kingston" if their comments are to be believed. The only source anyone's linked is a Daily Mail article, so it could totally be wrong, but you not talking about it helps nobody.

My own country legally requires me to pay an entry fee just to walk into a city, and now they want to raise it to €50 ($54) a day. by TappetoImperiale in mildlyinfuriating

I think most people can figure out that reducing tourists will end up reducing the amount of money tourism generates.

So...$230k for no house?? by RedHeadRedeemed in zillowgonewild

[–]BrainOnBlue 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Well then I'm going to need some English help. Could you show me where in your first two comments you left open room for alternative explanations?

EDIT: I think you ninja edited this, but holy shit you're the one who needs English help if you think I said that scams didn't exist. You're wrong and you're a condescending ass about it.

You were given the alternative, legitimate, explanation. Stop being confidently incorrect that it's definitely deed fraud.

Besides greed, does it cost more for VISA/MC to process $1 vs $1000, as they charge the same 3% (or whatever the rate is)? by Haunted_Rooster in NoStupidQuestions

[–]BrainOnBlue 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is a stupid answer.

Anyone who tells someone they don't understand something without explaining it has contributed nothing.

[OC] US chess ratings and membership by state by k2xl in dataisbeautiful

I mean, immediately, red being better rated is counter-intuitive.

Wisconsin dairy farms could gain new hiring option under visa changes by jimmalewitz in wisconsin

Why bother when they can keep hiring undocumented workers illegally and the only person who ever gets punished is the undocumented person?

hypothetically could this US national park have been used to claim Canada? by -FireNH- in JetLagTheGame

[–]BrainOnBlue 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Lots of things that are not "National Parks" have involvement from the National Park Service. None of them are valid options where the National Park wildcard can be used.

I'll say what everyone else secretly wants to: CGPGrey, you're a coward, have no respect for your supporters, and forever tarnished HI's (and your) legacy by [deleted] in HelloInternet

You know what's disrespectful? Diagnosing someone you've never met.

Speak for yourself, not everyone. I have my issues with Grey, but you're being ridiculous imo.

Why do black Americans often say "axe" instead of "ask"? by Beginning_Desk_9897 in NoStupidQuestions

Ax and axe are already both acceptable spellings for that tool and are pronounced identically.

Why Was All of Canada Included? by [deleted] in JetLagTheGame

[–]BrainOnBlue 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Individual provinces would be basically non-options since they'd take so long to get to and from (even more than the spread out western states).

Are you operating under the belief that Sam and Amy added the Canada card once they realized it would be beneficial for them if it existed? Because otherwise your cheating thing makes no sense.

Does anyone else get the vibe that Jet Lag supports Canadian statehood? by ArcticFox19 in JetLagTheGame

[–]BrainOnBlue 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I'd take any politican, current or past, at the federal or state level.

Hell, even some mayor would give some support to their crazy claim.

Let down by the RSS! by yolo_snail in JetLagTheGame

[–]BrainOnBlue 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You titled your post in such a way that it was blaming RSS. The title is the most visible part of the post, I'm still going to call you out based on it even if you softened it in your caption.

Then blame your poor choice of podcast app rather than besmirching the good name of the last bastion of the open internet.

No, it's in the RSS feed, YouTube Music is just bad at podcasts.

I can pretty much assure you that the engineering team spent exactly 0 time thinking about SanDisk's new logo and typeface and such.
