This. Stocks can still generate dividends. The only way you 're making money from Bitcoin investments is if some other sucker buys it off you for more than you spent.

Etrian Odyssey is one of the only turned-based RPGs I ever really got into. The map-making and exploration really helped change things up and the battles were actually challenging …

I have a hard time believing China actually has it under control when they've already been caught fiddling with their number of infected / dead constantly. That, and WHO has been s…

Not calling you a liar, but I haven't heard this part - got any citations?

I avoid touching my face, stay away from crowds (not that I didn't before, hah!), cough / sneeze into tissue / handkerchiefs, wash my hands properly and have a bottle of sanitizer …

> guiding principle that cuts across all aspects of an organization's basic deliverables, As lovely as a thought this might be I have never seen a company that actually used it as …

In fairness, I suspect that they're cold and unpleasant because of all the vultures that constantly circle them. When you're being constantly hounded by people that believe that yo…

Prison industrial complex needs its ultracheap labour one way or another.

Correction: China makes a show out of sacrificing a province to demonstrate to the world that no, they really are being serious about it this time, honest!

I'd argue that Microsoft and Amazon's branches were at least tangential to what they were doing in the back-end and that they already have most of the required talents to do it rig…

When I was a teaching assistant in university in Singapore here I knew a guy that ran the same sort of business, albeit for coding assignments instead of essays. He was making a co…

While I get what you mean, he's right: there's a line that's going to get drawn somewhere, like as not. Now where exactly is something beyond my ken but there are definitely things…

I don't know, does making enough to expand mean they can spare 100k just for renovations? That, and the article specifically mentions the people that file these lawsuits are grabbi…

Given Epic's behaviour and reactions to people bringing up their flaws I wouldn't be surprised if they pull the carpet out beneath the devs' feet as soon as they think they have th…

I'm getting the same vibes from this article that I got from when LifeLock's CEO posted his SSN to taunt people / promote their own service... and frankly, I'm looking forward to t…

Just because they take a long time to fall down doesn't mean they won't, though. That and they aren't really offering anything that no one else can (besides unlimited capacity, may…

Well, if we're going along these lines, it also offers the government (officials) no direct benefits to shoot the hippos, so they get to pass the buck off onto the public while sav…

Isn't there also a shortage of masks because everyone's snapping them up and hoarding them? If people who're actually ill can't get a hold of any because of that then I'd argue the…

Hell, you'll be relatively lucky if taxes are all that gets you: https://abcnews.go.com/US/lottery-jackpot-winners-lost-big/s... As pleasurable as it is to imagine myself winning h…

Same can be said of the drugs they campaign so hard against too. There's plenty of problems with stuff like ecstasy / meth and the like, and I'm sure they cause problems that affec…

Not knocking you but I'd love to see some research on whether this would actually be a positive for loved ones - for me, I know I'd prefer them to move on to fresher things in life…

I'm going to admit that was more out of incredible cynicism rather than actual knowledge - you can already hire PR firms to campaign for you in various ways, so a protest outside t…

Touche. But you'll have to pardon me for being distrustful of anyone that walks in just to defend a politician of any kind (without hard proof, anyway).

Oh, the irony of an account created specifically to defend Yang in the discussion about bots created to defend Yang. If you're truly looking to support him this probably isn't a go…

Yes, but he's suggesting that DoD might not care to, which I can believe. Whether that's out of laziness or time constraints is another question.
