| Sad_Face 07/09/20 1:42:41 PM #18 | I believe I was taught the second one. Probably both, since I had a couple professors at the time for that class (one had to take a week off or so during the intro to EM), but I ended up using the 2nd version. It's much cleaner I feel. --- |
| Topic | DeShawn Jackson used a quote literally from Hitler about Jews |
| Sad_Face 07/08/20 10:47:58 PM #55 | I love how Israel is untouchable throughout these BLM protests. The moment some BLM protestor goes after Israel, he gets dogpiled by the media, and not just twitter mobbed, but also corporate media. FortuneCookie posted... Hitler said that black people were the true children of Israel? I've seen quotes of Hitler where he talked smack about the greatest country in the world because he felt blacks were holding it back. So I'd cast doubt on DeSean's statement. A metric ton of doubt. --- |

| Sad_Face 07/08/20 9:47:08 PM #214 | cjsdowg posted... Cop brutalize black communities , and this goes beyond even the amount of people killed. Things such as harassment and racist implication of things such as stop and frisk. And beyond, you say no one is devaluing black like when American history shows that is not true at all. The down playing of the blight that black people face in this nation underscores the mind set that if black people should just be happy, talking about is just starting up trouble. Dude, what do you expect? We live in areas with high crime rates. In fact, I am currently going through a personal dilemma where a couple neighborhood kids are asking me to buy them a bike pump and my parents are accusing them of being drug runners when I mentioned I'm looking for a bike pump for them. This is my biggest problem with BLM and people calling out cops. There's always a consequence to an action. People think we can have the gangsta culture sitting high and mighty in black culture but feel it in no way influences how we're collectively perceived and how we treat ourselves. This simply isn't true. If we focus on uplifting our community and holding ourselves to a specific collective standard, so many other things will fall into place, including the problem of police brutality. --- |

It's hitting all time highs and it's currently my best performing asset. @EndOfDiscOne No problem, it's my way of giving back to this community, though it's a bit of a mismatch because you need an investing mindset or be a risk taker to take advantage of of the opportunity. In any case, DO NOT SELL. The price could be $6. $60. $600. Whatever. DO NOT SELL. This is going to be the internet of the blockchain. China has already announced they're using Chainlink as their main oracle provider for their upcoming smart city. So many other major enterprises as as well as literally 99% of the blockchain industry is using Chainlink for their oracle needs. Right now Chainlink is driving the Decentralized Finance field at this moment. The ceiling is sky high as we approach the upcoming smart contract revolution, so please, develop iron hands and HODL. --- |

Come on bruh. If she were legit, she wouldn't be 2 squares off from being in jail. COVxy posted... Whoops. Why don't you get into crypto and see what it's like? It's male dominated not because women are oppressed but because they literally don't give a shit about the field. They don't take risks. They leave it to the guys who are taking risks for them. In fact, a major motivation for guys in investing is because of women on one way or another. "She shattered my heart". "I want to be worth a damn to get the ladies" and so on and so on. --- |

| Topic | Showerthought: Do girls have to "learn" how to talk to guys. |
| Sad_Face 07/08/20 1:39:07 PM #13 | They have to learn to say "no" and not get peer pressured. And they have to learn to discern between guys who are only talking to them to get in their pants, and guys who are genuinely interested in them, whether platonically or romantically. So I wouldn't say they have to learn how to talk to guys, but they have to learn how to not get taken advantage of. Might as well say yes for technicality purposes. --- |

| Sad_Face 07/08/20 12:59:22 PM #45 | coh posted... Is Fire Emblem Heroes worth playing if I've never played an FE before I think the gameplay is the best in the series by far. I would say it's harder to get attached to characters as there's next to no storyline for you to develop an investment on them, besides playing with them outright, but I still recommend the game. Just learn to steady your hand and not throw your orbs at every banner for the latest and greatest and learn to maximize your resources and you'll be fine. --- |

Realize that not all of us see eye to eye on the same issues For instance, the MacadamianNut's reaction to the KKK passing the torch image is a polar opposite of mine; I think it perfectly describes the situation. Tackling the elephant in the room, while some of you guys think Black Lives Matter is a noble cause, some of us see it as a terrorist organization deliberately designed to destabilize our country. --- |

My thing is that he announced the US was going to pull out of the Afghanistan back in February, ending the Afghanistan war against the Taliban.

You can be 15 and have girls think you're hot and a chad. Same thing with the genders reversed. Remember, these statutory laws are put into place to protect kids from being taking advantage of by adults who know better. It has nothing to do with how attraction works. Alpha218 posted... That being said please report people who are trying to justify statutory rape because we dont need that disgusting s*** on this siteI don't like this mindset. Obviously a 24 year old with a 10 year old is clearly problematic. But we have Romeo and Juliet-esque cases of 19 year old with a 16 year old and the 19 year old guy gets put in jail and registered as a sex offender for life because the parents disapproved the relationship and were overly spiteful. And these relationships still continue together. For these kinds of discussions to happen, you can't be so quick to mod people. --- |

| Sad_Face 07/02/20 11:29:55 PM #94 | Veggeta X posted... Agreed. You can always tell when someone is being genuine or someone is just tryna test another person. In this case, I feel Elon is the ladder. If you want the truth, you should being testing people. Put their claims through heavy scrutiny even if you look like a dumbass through it. The most successful hedgefund in the US, Bridgewater Associates, has exactly this kind of atmosphere. They'll straight up call any claim you make "S***" and force you to justify why you think you're correct. 4chan has this cutthroat culture as well. I implore you guys to go on there and try to make money off of them or learn something from them so you can really understand appreciate how important having such a culture is. Reading through the twitter conversation, I don't see anything wrong with Elon's questions. It seems he's trying to account for the discrepancy of the virologist's source of the Arizona's hospitalization rate increasing while his source of the US cases of new cases and death rate falling at the same pace during the same time period. Looks like this should be a state by state basis since states are opening up at different times with different strategies. --- |

| Sad_Face 07/02/20 4:12:46 PM #46 | One of the greatest skills you can have is the ability (and confidence) to how to ask questions to challenge the experts of a field. You don't need to be an expert to qualify to do so and it's absolutely in no shape or form rude or disrespectful to the experts. There's no point in claiming to be an expert if you're not communicating your knowledge. This skill, being able to ask the right questions to analyze information, is a skill that 4chan is an absolute master at. As a result, they've generated a considerable number of millionaires and wealth of the knowledge gleaned from such discussions and have been able to predict major events ahead of time. I recommend you guys stop getting caught up in the "who" is asking and answering, and pay more attention to "what" is being asked and answered. --- |

| Sad_Face 07/01/20 1:13:46 PM #31 | rexcrk posted... Whats it like having a girl who actually likes you? I can't speak for those in a relationship but knowing that a girl is interested in you, particularly if you feel that girl is desirable, does wonders for your self-esteem. This is tangible evidence that you are desirable which validates your own self-worth which gives you the confidence to move forward. Like everything else in life, the more you have, the easier it is to obtain more; think compound interest. This is partially why I dislike the "incel" insult. If you're constantly rejected and see hope in the future, of you're going to reject that entire world. --- |

Not trying to discern what could drive a 9-year-old to do such things. Then what's the point of having a discussion then? There's nothing wrong with analyzing it from all angles. And your reasoning to explain the lack of friendship implies that introverts can't be friends with extroverts. That's not true. --- |

| Sad_Face 07/01/20 12:59:25 AM #30 | AFrench2 posted... What do you mean "latch"? Women are taught by society to find a successful man while society teaches boys to be successful men. This dynamic completely influences the dynamic of how genders interact and how they pursue life. This is partially why investing and other financial areas are dominated by males. Women generally don't have the drive (or rather, the desperation) that you see other guys have in that area. --- |

| Sad_Face 07/01/20 12:44:13 AM #129 | General_Secura posted... Where in the f*** are you even getting the idea from that Adam was abused? This is all extremely baseless conjecture. You didn't understand his post at all. Kids mimic what they see. For Adam at 9 years old to go and demand his little sister go down on him that aggressively, that meant he had exposure to it at some level to know it's pleasurable. A plausible explanation for him being privy to this information if he experienced it himself; i.e. abuse. There's a chance of him watching too much porn or catching his parents in the act and wanting to replicate it. These are all possibilities, though you'd need a lot of exposure for that whereas an abuse would imprint quite strongly with a little bit of time. I wonder if this is the reason why Adam never got along with Jamie. That's on the assumption that these allegations are true in the first place. --- |

| Sad_Face 06/30/20 3:36:56 PM #98 | HaVeNII7 posted... Youre talking about a protest of only 30-40 people. Defending individuals driving by screaming racial slurs at us. Defending people doing it to me, when I was protesting alone. Threatening me with physical harm. Dude, BLM was insanely divisive beforehand (notice how there's no common consensus on Trayvon Martin) and it has exacerbated 100000x fold with these riots. Gun sales have skyrocketed as a result. People aren't taking chances. They're looking at CHOP and seeing what kind of failure it is with the bunch of shootings. They're looking at the footage of riots and reports of buildings burning down. They're looking at the cities where people are marching and calling for the defunding of the police and watching what's happening when police call in sick by the masses. They're seeing the results of it, and listening to Trump label it as a product of liberal power or democratic governing, and are prepping to make sure they don't have to go through it themselves. Realize that no one is born hating something (or loving something for that matter). People can have fear, but that's due to the lack of information. But to hate? To go out of your way to get emotionally charged and heckle someone? That takes energy and time. You need motivation to go out of your way like that and that motivation doesn't come out of nowhere. What I'm trying to say is put yourself in the shoes of said "racists" and figure out why they feel that way. And no, "because they're racists" is not an acceptable answer, it needs to be more distinct that that. People to learn to understand the other side because at this rate, the silent majority is going to creep up and ensure Trump has another 4 years in office and the media is going to blow up and not understand why this happened for a second goddamned time. --- |
| Topic | Family is pretty upset that I called out my father on still supporting Trump. |
| Sad_Face 06/30/20 2:44:42 PM #62 | HaVeNII7 posted... Just a few days ago, Trump posted a video praising a man who was shouting White power! By praising him, he is normalizing and enabling racist behavior throughout the country. During my time protesting, I was mocked and harassed. (We live in a small, redneck town. 99% white, just a couple hours from Bethel, OH if that helps give an idea of the area.) Dozens of people drove by shouting obscenities at me. Dozens drove by the young women of color protesting with me, calling them horrible things too. That night, while I was protesting alone at the court house, I had a man approach me and imply he was going to hurt me. He didnt, but I was certainly scared of what could have potentially happened in the moment. By supporting him, you help to enable, and focus their behavior by proxy. Why do you support him? No fucking shit they're gonna counterprotest and mock you. Have you not been watching the news? Or rather, the reports not aired by mainstream media? No one wants to risk seeing a "peaceful protest" turn into a riot and lay waste to their town, especially for a cause they don't care about. You gotta build up some awareness. When the world is practically vilifying white people, there are going to be those who are vocal about being proud of their skin as their way of lashing back at culture. --- |
