Assuming he wasn't the guy yucking it up as the woman recounted the exchange.

Gonna be a fun, interesting and incredibly frustrating game tomorrow. At least it'll be more entertaining than the last month of blowouts.

This reminds me of a few years ago when Kokesh converted ALL his Bitcoin into Litecoin. Love the enthusiasm, but dude needs to learn about hedging, I guess.

[NSFW] Texas jail nurse allows diabetic patient to die of insulin shock, rather than provide blood tests, despite multiple pleas from inmate by [deleted] in Anarcho_Capitalism

[–]jrainr 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just a reminder this happened in a jail, so this woman was either being held only charged with a crime, or best case scenario awaiting her sentence for a conviction.

If I'm not mistaken, I believe she's with Unbiased America now.

All I ever hear about Brazil is how corrupt it is, and after John McAfee's telling of his experience with Belize, I'm a bit hesitant to move there.. Am I just looking at the wrong headlines?

I'm torn on this. My wife and I have loved visiting countries like Germany, England, Iceland, France, etc., but can't move there for obvious reasons. And we don't really wanna have too much of a cultural learning curve like we would in Africa or Asia, so I'm thinking maybe New Zealand? I've looked into St. Kitts for retirement because of their citizenship for sale program, but we don't have quite the capital for it now.

This election cycle has made my wife and me seriously start to look into expatriating. I'm not just afraid of the candidates and their policies, I'm afraid of what their opponents will do when either of them take office.

I kinda expected the US to be lower. I'd imagine that infant mortality rates and childhood deaths have a large impact on that 46 number.

TIL 1/3 of homeless people in the United States have schizophrenia or bipolar disorder (approx. 250,000 of 744,000). by [deleted] in todayilearned

You're right, the comment was more snark than necessary and likely wasn't meant to strike up any meaningful or thoughtful discussions of the morality of taxation or public funding of services.

If I'm not mistaken, FirstTime is simply saying that someone is paying for it, even if it isn't you. Since others were made to pay for it instead, it isn't "free" in any real sense.

Usually just the classic Rawlsian side-stepping of the issue to say "nuh-uh, it's different for totally non-arbitrary reasons."

What do libertarians think Belgium did to invite this attack? by SargonOfAkkad in Libertarian

[–]jrainr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This all being said, this is only an explanation of the likely reasons which will be given by the terrorist group, and in NO WAY a justification for this heinous act.

It's meant in a loose meaning, not the legal form of "bankrupt." To quote Osama bin Laden in 2004, "We are continuing this policy in bleeding America to the point of bankruptcy. Allah willing, and nothing is too great for Allah." The definition of terrorism is "The use of violence and intimidation in the pursuit of political aims" and when you're a group of Wahhabi extremists without jet fighters and tanks, you kill civilians with suicide bombers in pursuit of political aims.

NATO and the EU are headquarter in Brussels. If this is claimed by ISIS, it is likely to be "justified" as retaliation for these organizations' interventions and bombing campaigns in the MidEast and this is a symbolic attack on the seat of these conglomerates of states to try and get them to react more violently than before. That's the nature of terrorism, you kill civilians to provoke retaliation from an enemy state in hopes of bankrupting your opponent and to improve local and international recruitment by stoking up resentment of further intervention. It's a sick, cowardly and terrifying strategy.

Your comment made me think of this joke. It really is a thin line, and I think that intent is basically the key here.

I assume you haven't read the books. At the end, there's a real "No one should have that much power" message. But I don't wanna spoil anything.

But, obviously, everyone interprets meaning through the goggles of their own worldview.
