Yes but to converge the two sides have to acknowledge the arguments of the other side, unfortunately I am probably not arguing well enough and Im perfectly willing to just give up.

Anyway you seem to be able to research complicated topics well, you can read up about the history and end of the gold standard and about deflation for your own sake in your own time :-)

Fighting against fiat money, reserve banks, inflation and national debt is like fighting against democracy or free speech.
Sometimes democracy gives you Trump, sometimes free speech gives you porn (or worse, Fox news), sometimes the economy gets out of hand, but mostly these things work better than their alternatives and prevent or minimize crashes, based on the experience of the last 200 years. Every time someone thought better, they made things worse.

I'm pretty sure the dude's just having a good time because he's at a concert and he's all young and shit. He's probably high, too. Look at that glorious blue sky! Who wouldn't be joyous on such a perfect day when they're all young and high and shit? Dude, I'm old, it's dark and I'm not even at a concert (full disclosure: I am listening to Lord Huron's new album and it's fucking amazing. There's some stuff that's not up to their other work, and a weird 14-minute filler piece at the end, but Drops In The Lake might become the most beloved Lord Huron song ever) and I'm totally joyous right now. I'm also stoned out of my mind, so take that as a plus, a minus or a none-of-the-above. Look, all I'm saying is there's a cute video video of a sheep standing down a Border Collie. Props to the sheep for having the kinda balls it doesn't have anymore, but fucking with a Border Collie is asking for that dog to fuck up your tax return later. So yeah, y'know, cute dog and cute sheep and some Welshman who knows he's getting some pussy tonight and if that dog screws this up, it ain't gonna be the sheep getting fucked. That's life in Wales, man. Those dudes will fuck anything. I mean, if I was stuck in Wales with nothing else to do, I'd be looked at our four-legged friends in a far more than friendly way, too. Also, they don't have vowel mines there so they're stuck spelling words with all contestants and chunks of coal for punctuation. NO idea how that little linguistic hiccup got passed the Proto-Germanic language tree, but people in Quebec speak a language that's completely similar to French, only without the word order, the grammar and any words that are actually in French. The French hate that shit because they're French and no one in Europe is being all shirty these day. Except that dude in Belarus who apparently doens't know what an utter fucking legend the guy who runs Ryanair is. Fucking hell this shit's good. Anyway, the whole point of this was that a dog, a sheep and a Welshman walk into a bar and the bartender asks the man what he wants. And the Welshman tells, in exceedingly graphic detail, what he wants while the sheep and the collie listen in horror, straining against their leads and praying Pop-Up Darwin will suddenly appear and gift them opposable thumbs, a cellphone, and a SIM card that actually works in fucking Wales, because those vowel-less cocksuckers have a totally different cell system than the rest of the UK. Shit, you try to make a call to anywhere in Gwfjhsrmflsslll, the first thing you notice is that numbers have apparently joined the vowels in being MIA, and you're trying to explain that you just want to make a call to London and the operator is speaking some language that'd scare the shit outta C'htulu and finally you just give up and hop back on the Ryanair flight to JFK while scanning constantly for Mig-29s.

Anyway, be happy.

These people risk their lives because you won't stop eating meat.

....cue the excuses, ad hominens, and undermining of legitimate science. (I've heard it all before, I won't be reading them, I'm just here to remind you are putting these people in harms way for no good reason)

Meh, just give up sex altogether. Nothing bad ever comes from that. Just look at Catholic vows of abstinence. Perfect example of best practices.

I didn't like doing proofs either. That doesn't make them less math.
That's proofs....not idiocy. Training your brain to see different routes to the correct answer makes more difficult math far easier.
People learn (or don't) at different rates. I took AP B/C Calculus while some friends were in remedial math. My cousin graduated (waldorf) and can't add double digit numbers. Now, if you can't place out of remedial math, that's a problem, but the fact that they don't just give up on 11th graders that still don't know the basics is a good thing.

Don't do that, just hit that little 'ignore' button and she's gone.
If she's really 'stalking' you, and you've kindly asked her to stop, report her and get her hobbled or on double secret probation. Don't just give up and leave. That's how we ended up with Trump as a nominee. ;-)

EDIT: OK, now I'm really confused. I just read every post @WeedandWeirdness has ever posted, and the only one to you was her reply below. What are you talking about with the claim she's 'stalking' you? Do you mean on other sites? How would you know it's the same person? This makes no sense.

REEDIT: Never mind. I've been informed you two do have previous history, so I'm out. I still say if there's an issue, "ignore" should solve it.

I don't understand why said huge fish isn't thrashing around like crazy. Once it's pinched, it just gives up. Love to know the reason for this.

Thanks

Several yt commenters suggested that Moroon 5 should just give up on it now that they've been so comprehensively out-done

So it's going to happen does that mean we should just give up and not regulate it?

It's amazing how many people here just TRUST Corporations. They're only ONLY interested in the bottom line. If they kill a few hundred people and can sweep it under the rug like GM did, why wouldn't they?

I can't remember the last time Tubechop ever worked for me.

I just give up hope whenever I see one.

Oh well.

Did I miss something here?

How is the mission nulled when we're trying to decipher the laws that make *our* Universe the way it is. This is still a highly valuable piece of information, it's not like we need to just give up on that because "other Universes" also may or may not exist.

If Universes exist in complete isolation from one another, it is absolutely irrelevant what laws govern those Universes, they will never effect us and we will never effect them.

Even if they didn't, it would seem suggestible that we would never want to ever have anything to do with any other Universe, as the results of any combination of the smallest detail may lead to an unraveling of both Universes.

I do have sympathy for Chingy, it's easy to see he's not happy in the world he lives in, but it's true enough that I am out of patience.
I can understand the frustration caused by bashing one's head against innumerable human walls, but that does not mean I'm willing to be mistaken for another wall and beaten against repeatedly. It gets old fast.
I have tried to explain myself clearly and repeatedly he claimed he understood and apologized for his mistaken assumptions about me and my positions (usually assuming I would act or think like a 'normal' person, something I try hard not to do), but then the next day it's like the conversation never happened and he's back to assuming I'm a 'normy' and being insulting and derisive. What do you do with that? I just give up...I don't have it in me anymore, and I don't want to be turned into an insulting clown fighting him all the time either. There's no gain to be had there.

I kinda don't know what to make of this vid. At one point, she makes an appeal to others not to be apathetic to anonymous Internet comments, but I don't see how starting a flame war every time someone makes an inappropriate comment solves the underlying problem.

Plus, I don't see a person who makes those kinds of comments seriously reconsidering them after watching this vid. And if, as she says, those kinds of comments are a small minority of the feedback she receives I'm not sure exactly what the problem is.

She equates it to bullying, but that reminds me of this Sift where the reporter did the same thing after receiving a single email about her weight (a vid which produced a pretty extensive VS debate thread on the topic):

So... yeah. Some people are mean/clueless/crude/outright insulting/sexist on the Internet. She seems to think this is preventing women from keeping vlogs about STEM topics, but doesn't really offer any evidence to support this.

In fact, if her supposition were true wouldn't you see that trend across YouTube? Basically if it were true, YouTube vlogs would be dominated by men since the women are too what... delicate? Afraid of dealing with negative comments? In a way, her hypothesis itself seems kind of insulting to women, suggesting that they wilt in the face of these kinds of comments and just give up.
