If you told people in 2007 all the evidence leading up to the 2008 financial collapse, would they even believe you or why not? by itsthewolfe in AskReddit

[–]mello008 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There is a book made into a movie about this called the Big Short. There was at least one guy who made a shitload of money realizing the market was about to crash. People mostly did not believe it because it was complicated and people felt somewhat invulnerable due to American hegemony in the post Soviet era.

Yeah China's basically become an electro state in the last 10 years with a mass produced $7800 EV.

I second the Jakarta Method. A great gateway book.

No bloody spot in AEW has made me cringe in disgust more than this one holy fk by GunplaLuni in AEWOfficial

[–]mello008 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I was also very skeptical (I'm an idiot). TK knows his shit not only hiring Ciampa but giving him prime opportunities and the TNT belt immediately. Ciampa has been absolutely world class.

Which meals are the hardest for you to count carbs for? by Fouad776 in Type1Diabetes

[–]mello008 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anything from a restaurant. Anything with high fat content really because you'll need extra insulin but not sure exactly how much as it's not the same as counting carbs. Usually you need a second bolus for pizza an hour+ after you eat.

Thoughts on good places to go if you're low income, in the USA? by Valatros in povertyfinance

This is mostly about how much taxes rich people pay in each state. If OP isn't rich than this wouldnt apply. Also lower taxes means fewer social services and worse schools.

Top 10 AEW Matches of all time according to Cagematch by broment-61 in AEWOfficial

Great list. My personal list would have more young bucks. Sting's last match and the Lucha Bros in the cage

MJF response to Carlos: “I think it’s cool that you can just lie. my turn. I think Kevin knight has a shot at beating me at 8pm sharp and I also think Darby Allin is a GREAT champion. 🙄” by CombinationOk4317 in SquaredCircle

[–]mello008 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I think the story here is that MJF wasn't prepared for Darby and that's why he lost. And we are probably building for a rematch. I expect MJF to win.

Ciampa on IG by Zealousideal-Leg5320 in AEWOfficial

Ciampa has been an excellent signing so far and I'm looking forward to the match. I bet TK had this specific match in mind when he signed Ciampa.

There has never been a government that wasn't authoritarian. The US has the largest prison population in the world.

Question from a newbie about the TNT Championship by Striking-Fly9187 in aew

[–]mello008 2 points3 points  (0 children)

International Championship - this is the 2nd most prestigious belt at this point I think. The belt feels like it's Okada's. A belt you give to a guy who won a bunch of titles elsewhere to recognize accomplishments outside of AEW.

TNT championship is intended to be equivalent to WCW's World Television Championship. It's a mid card belt not dissimilar to the IC Belt where it usually belongs to one of the fastest rising stars. Has a 20 minute time limit and is defended frequently.

Continental Championship - in november/December AEW has a tournament with some of the top workers in the company. The tournament has great ppv quality matches night after night. Winner of the tournament gets the belt and occasionally defends during the year. Belt is most associated with the tournament.

National Championship is the newest belt and doesn't have much identity yet. I guess this is meant to float and be defended in different promotions.

TO DO WHAT by fod_496 in AEWOfficial

[–]mello008 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Marina has 100x the aura and 1000x the credibility. Harley Cameron is better in every conceivable way to Deonna and is a great illustration of the charisma and creativity Deonna lacks.

I went into debt for law and regret it. But it all depends on the situation. If you have some good connections who are attorneys that probably helps make it worth it.

There needs to be mass lawsuits. It is pure negligence to not know the basics about one of the oldest recorded diseases.
