I'll be maintaining my homeostasis at a level away from suffering on that score. Anyhow, if we do a formal invite and David gracefully accepts, just.....

Getting the mod team to make a collective decision is like trying to herd cats. Of course, folks have other lives outside of PF to deal with. Give us ...

If you're working for Putin, you probably better check your underwear, mate, because this ain't up to scratch.

:lol:

I'm sure he has thicker skin than that and like the rest of us doesn't give a damn what Barprick thinks.

It hovers in an uncomfortable space between the shallow, the callous, and the ludicrous, and has probably already received more attention than it dese...

It's a psychological malady but it sells advertising space on Breitbart, so someone's making mint at least.

All the evidence about Trump being a rapist and serial sexual abuser doesn't matter because it hasn't been proven in court but someone threw Hunter's ...

He does recognize facts... when they suit his political narrative, which is the only thing that ever matters to him.

And if this was the Trump family, you'd be telling us this was just 'gossip'. :yawn:

Fantastic, kudos to him and the team. :100:

My intepretation of your position is pretty much as @"Hanover" outlined it. If it's more nuanced than that, feel free to clarify.

Ok, so we reject expert opinion and learn it all ourselves. Who do you think we learn from if not experts? Who do you think write medical books and pa...

a) It is not possible to be an expert in everything b) "Taking care of yourself" does not offer you or others immunity from COVID. c) The unchecked sp...

No-one's arguing against self-education in general. We're all for that. We are arguing though against maximalist scepticism of the naive and impractic...

It doesn't follow that they're actively trying to harm me. Or that I need to learn their job in order to analyze every bit of advice they give me. Sce...

Good point. Right now, I'm researching PES (Pecker Ego Syndrome). An interesting condition that results in unabashed and unjustifiable levels of self-...

Hanover is indeed a dummy. He totally misdiagnosed my STD. Although maybe he did that on purpose... Hm.

They don't have to be my friends any more than those who fix my car have to be friends. I'm smart enough to respect the limits of my knowledge. This a...

Next time you go to the emergency room, I hope you get this response. You don't just "figure out" every health issue for yourself. If the powers that ...

Me staying out of the conversation? :lol:

First prize for best title of an OP.

:up: :down: We are close to making a decision on this. Hang in there.

Because death is a more serious affliction than not being able to get a haircut maybe? Because most under 50s are not selfish rats? Because the chaos ...

No, it was not optimal because of some twat who had a hissy fit because we edited his question. Anyway, we're still in discussions on the mod forum co...

Anyway, I think we can close this. Thx for the memories, Joe.

:lol:

Never heard of him. Perhaps an investigation is called for? We would hate to lose someone of your obvious calibre. /uploads/files/v2/iqpizgaujjxdthvl....

So... Irish nationalists = drunks and tramps? Correction, we all are. :lol: I haven't intended to make a positive case for nationalism, only to point ...

And some aren't, e.g. the "nationalist" community in N.Ireland is composed of those who have historically opposed British colonialism and oppression. ...

Sounds like an interesting guy. I'll raise this in the mod forum.

Well, first of all, there are different forms of nationalism, some of which are as morally undesirable as racism. What all forms of nationalism have i...

Because "races" are notionally physical demarcations, racism involves an an instant process of stigmatization and potential dehumanization based on ar...

This is true (speaking for myself).

Some of the allegations in the latest interview are important. If the royal establishment is so fucked-up racist that the shade of a baby's skin sends...

Saw that earlier today. It's an unfortunate but pretty much inevitable consequence of a hard Brexit that one of the two sides would do this.

That.

29, apparently. Helping to prove the spuriousness of the proposed connection, I guess. :lol:

I call it tomato, you call it whatever you call it in Finland. :wink: Don't disagree but the hypocrisy of the Dems pisses me off.

Stay on topic, please. Off-topic posts will continue to be deleted.

No corruption here at all. https://edition.cnn.com/2021/02/28/politics/jamal-khashoggi-intelligence-report-three-names-removed/index.html

Trump must be punished! We believe in accountability! (Except when it comes to murderous Saudi princes, but that's the only exception, we promise.)

Nice, if a little pretentious. We're stuck with our current boring moniker, but Google likes us, so can't complain.

Well, I'm sorry about all those compounded ill-gotten gains they'll force on you. I hope you'll get through the experience somehow. :strong:

(Point being, I don't see how someone who benefits from a pension is the moral superior to a trader under your argument. Getting someone else to do so...

They invest on your behalf, presuming you have a pension? If so, why participate in what you have described previously as a generally immoral activity...

OK, so anyone who has a pension is participating in an immoral exercise due to the lack of constraints on the return. Interesting idea. Do you have a ...

Fair point. Also, @"Metaphysician Undercover", where do you draw the line between trading and investing? Seems you could apply the same logic you've u...
