I remember reading an article interviewing a man who lived through the early aughts Argentine Great Depression and he said the best horde of value was cheap diamond rings. You could trade one for a handgun, a couple of bags of groceries, even a motorcycle. He said they were even better than krugerrands. Something about how people trusted someone whose trading a family ring more then some profiteer.

I know comparing corporations to psychopaths is kind of unfair to psychopaths. Most psychopaths can see themselves farther into the future then the end of the quarter.

I found Shotcut very easy to use.

Interestingly, The Tragedy of the Commons really does work with psychopaths, so once you move from a person to person level to corporations interacting the Tragedy of the Commons problem becomes a serious issue. Take a minimum wage, it necessary for the population as a whole to have surplus wealth to spend to keep an economy going. Individual companies, on the other hand, have an incentive to pay their own employees a pittance. If every company does that then there’s no surplus wealth for people to purchase most goods and slowly the economy grinds to a halt. Hence it’s in society’s best interest to have a healthy and large minimum wage (or better yet a UBI system) which will have to be enforced on companies by an outside force.

So British tourists, collecting for their museum?

That’s a funny way to spell zeppelin.

Colin Powell couldn’t even pull that shit off.

Thank you so much! Seriously, that’s awesome explanation and I feal like one of the lucky 10,000 today. Are you a teacher? Because if you are your students lucky. If not I’m lucky.

Those are I’m fairly sure, words. But for the life of me, your so far outside my area I’m completely lost. Can you explain it to me like I’m a clever twelve year old?

You kind of understand where he was coming from.

• Peacemaker Season 1 Opening
• and an honourable mention for James Gunns other show Creature Commandos - all that punk and especially that Romani punk.

I object, they didn’t ‘Bungle’ that series. Fox out and out murdered it. The show was great and if Fox had any faith at all it would have run for seven seasons and movie.

Uhhh….

Laurie Anderson Strange Angels I don’t know why but that album hits me so hard. It’s like nothing else I like but I’ve been know to listen to it on loop for hours on end.

The Llama Song and The Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny
Yes I’m old and fuck you too

“I will not grow a goatee. In the old days they made you look diabolic. Now they just make you look like a disaffected member of Generation X.” - This site is so old Gen X were still surly youths when it was written.

At this point I figure Sam Beckett leaping in to MTG is most reasonable answer.

“You know the kind of guy who does nothing but bad things and then wonders why his life sucks? Well, that was me.”

Who was Earl jr.’ dad?

I like this concept and that opening paragraph is the bomb. “Son of a bitch, I’m in.” Morty pointing meme.

I’ll definitely pop Altered Carbon on my list. I haven’t watch the series but didn’t they also have an issue with quality consistency? I often find 3rd or 4th books in series have drop in quality and the it pulls back up (The Expanse) or completely nose dove into the dirt (The Magic of Xanth).
