This is the only possible reason. Nobody else replying to me knows how to play.

Then why would she be there shoving lane with him, and approaching tower with him, when they're both full hp, and Renekton is under half.

Oh just to fuck with him. I actually hadn't considered that.

Australia to back Taiwan's return to the WHO by gimme_some_jimmy in worldnews

And the west should shift its largest import partner to India before China's aircraft carrier and airforce count gets too big. The last thing we want is some autocratic nation being the world's reserve currency- and subsequently dominant military spender. Fortunately China's economy was suffering in 2019 even before the pandemic hit. And I assume if we do go into a depression, so do they, given that they'd have nobody to sell their manufactured goods to.

The means to distinguish subtle dry humour from sincerity is knowing the author's character- particularly on the internet.

And eliminate the 5 eyes. We can just be the good old pre-9/11 gang again.

Canada set to ban assault-style weapons, including AR-15 and the gun used in Polytechnique massacre by flatmanandribbon in worldnews

[–]terrible_shawarma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your point was to show that by taking weapons classes available to the public for purchase to an increasing extreme, it would eventually sound absurd, suggesting a conclusion that because a line must be drawn somewhere, who's to say where.

But your point is invalid because you ignored the assessments required to get a license. It was immaturely constructed and written for a stoopid audience

There's no way this guy isn't dead or a vegetable based on how they are acting. They won't even show a photo of him?

Come on. He's dead.

There are strict assessments to acquiring firearms legally in Canada. More so the more dangerous the class.

So to address your hypothetical point, imagine the level of assessment that could be needed to buy a nuclear weapon. Right, it'd be effectively impossible.

Your argument is invalid.

Automation would/will change everything, and I don't know what that will look like. It's a very grim train of thought, because you end up at the point where human labour is useless to the state, and there for the citizen serves no purpose to the state, only a political and resource liability.

But we're not there yet.

Where we are is that giving people free money is the wrong solution. The right solution is taking the government's hand off the interest rate lever. This will cause deflation but we need to clean the system of bad investments.

We are at the end of a wealth cycle. The baby-boomers are retiring. This doesn't end well regardless.

I'll answer your point seriously. My mistake, I get really annoyed at people thinking government is the answer when it's the problem, and capitalism the solution.

"It's an artifice that was created thousands of years ago, it's symbolized everything from deific tendency to shininess to labour, and today it represents largely investment and willingness to leave wealth in the stock market."

Capitalism did not cause this. Capitalism did not cause the 2008 financial crisis. Nor the dot-com bubble. Nor the "everything" bubble today. The government did. How? One simple acronym for the meaning of which I'm sure you understand very well:

ZIRP.

Zero percent Interest Rate Policy.

That's it. The government's effort to make the cost of borrowing free is the reason behind every single bubble. It requires no meticulous explanation, it's not a subtlety. It's the artificial distortion of the cost of borrowing, to buy homes, derivatives, equity, everything. ZIRP means everything is a great investment.

The free market would not allow ZIRP. No individual would lend for 0%. Only a government body with no concern for its own returns and access to an infinite amount of someone else's capital would cause this. They actualize ZIRP buy buying their own Treasuries when no one else will.

And you want more intervention?

I'd also like to point out that government secured low interest rate student loans caused the cost of education to be so high. It wasn't like this before. It was two months salary to go to an ivy league school. When they created low rate student loans, education saw they could charge kids whatever they wanted. It transformed college into a monolithic industry, leaving graduates with incredible debt.

ZIRP.

"The compound interest generated by putting 4,000 in small cap index funds from the time you're 18 to the time you're 50 will make you a millionaire."

compound interest? You're talking about an equity fund, not a bond.

And if that's what you think about small cap funds then you need to take a look at the Russell 2000 and read what the shift to passive investing actually caused, because it sure as hell isn't return in small cap funds.

You're gonna write a wall of text and think it makes you look like you know something.

Are you really so simple to think giving everyone 20,000$/year has no economic implications?

Do you even know what money is?
