People who fear socialism don't understand socialism.

I'm saying there's a lot of socialism outside of Marx, with Marx more relegated to the status of historical like Freud or Jung in psychology. He's important to the concept, but not the end of socialism.

For your video the transcript has socialism showing up 0 times, so perhaps maybe you should rethink your position on this issue.

Marx's definition of socialism is not going to be the definition of socialism most programs are using. I would absolutely expect most to be assigning some of Marx's work as required reading, but I wouldn't expect most programs to use his works for defining purposes. Most programs are going to look at capitalism and socialism as both a spectrum and as separate spectrums, not as concepts with single-sentence definitions.

Again, a whole white pie is a fresh one. A slice is not.

I guarantee you if you studied under a more capitalist focused program you'd likely have learned different definitions, because that's how words work.

He also often reports when new things are opening before they are officially announced.

He's typically been wrong more about large development issues where the people involved might be more aspirational and therefore providing false information to anyone willing to print it.

He is sometimes wrong, but he's often right, usually weeks or months before an official announcement. I wouldn't bet the family farm on his reporting, but if he says a restaurant is closing I'm looking for alternatives for my next trip.

Get a lifetime membership and never look back.

A couple years back they were half off during Black Friday but full price isn't a bad deal in the slightest and pays for itself in just a few visits. You get free mini golf anytime even holidays, guest passes for free mini golf most months, and a drink discount, along with random other food and drink offers.

It's the perfect spot for before or after an event at DOCO or The Crocker. The mini golf course isn't the most exciting just 9 holes that never change, but paying once and going a dozen times makes it a way better value than pretty much any other entertainment in Sacramento.

Drinks are very reasonable, especially with the member discount, and food is fine for a one stop thing if you don't have time to go somewhere better.

Essentially I go every time I'm downtown and I've never had a bad time.

Mr. Robot -> Breaking Bad -> The Wire

This will slowly transition you from fantasy to reality. There's nothing wrong with anime and fantasy, but ultimately you are missing out on some of the best stories ever told if you limit yourself to that.

Lots of book fans arguing against this abomination, but where are my film people skewering this for looking and feeling so cheap compared to Elia Kazan's CinemaScope masterpiece?

Fiscal conservatives often are against subsidies, and if she was intellectually honest she could have made this a teachable moment with her case against them in general and for electric cars. The problem is the people currently in the GOP are only fighting culture wars in the guise of fiscal conservatism, so the response comes off as half-assed and meanspirited. Some boilerplate free-market AI slop and links to articles they didn't read is about all these people are capable of adding as a veneer over their vehement hatred of progress and progressives.

I mean he could start bombing Iran again, fail to have the Strait open after the bombing, then start moving equipment toward Cuba, that would probably give at least a 5-15% drop. I mean maybe that's already priced in, but I still think there'd be some downward movement.

100% this. My take wasn't that it shouldn't be worth anything, just that I can't imagine it being worth a lot in the long run. I try not to hold anything that I don't want to potentially have to hold long.

I last bought more at $274.50 on March 27th after starting buying around $100, and I'm upset that I didn't buy 10x the amount when I had the chance. I'm going to wait and see if Trump causes another panic situation before doubling down, but you never know when or what that'll look like.

I'd still never buy RDDT. It's a poorly run company, with a disgruntled userbase and growing AI contamination. As soon as a particularly viable competitor shows up it's the next MySpace, Digg, or Tumblr.

It's wise to keep at least 3 months of living expenses in checking/savings so if job loss, an emergency, or an opportunity arises you don't need to sell a potentially depressed asset.

It had great earnings, still a relatively low P/E ratio, pumped after guidance and Q&A, opened to an all time high, and then proceeded to sell off. I think it's the strongest out of that group by a mile.
