Undersell it so that if it does worse than you expect then they won't know and if it does better then they're even happier.

That would be hella lenient.

It has to do with what it has to do with.

No, you misunderstand. Saying that "there's a possible world where that's true" is the same as saying "that's possibly true", and saying that "there's...

I read recently that there's such a thing as too-low unemployment: So it's actually good for the economy to have a certain level of unemployment. But ...

Which is to say that it's possibly true, and you're suggesting that it's actually false.

Who then proceeds to fuck it up with his tariffs.

I don't think it does, but it probably will.

Except bald kings of France.

Also, why is wellwisher bringing up Trump at all? This is about Manafort and his alleged crimes. He seems to have this weird belief that if Trump is i...

The idea that the Republicans are the party of "law and order" (and of "family values" and "fiscal responsibility") is laughable.

And this definitely doesn't make any sense. It was under the Trump administration that Manafort was indicted and is being prosecuted. Are you just say...

So he's guilty and should be punished accordingly. Which dealings? Certainly not the fraudulent bank loan, as from what I can see that was late Novemb...

Let's look at the law in question: Bank fraud Whoever knowingly executes a scheme to obtain moneys from a financial institution by means of false repr...

So now we're arguing on what the meaning of "quoting" is? Oh well. It is what it is.

They did. The problem is that the CEO forced the loan to go through (against the president) because he wanted Manafort to get him on Trump's team. Thi...

I said don't quote me on that! Yet you quoted me?!

Manafort trial jury deliberations begin today. 18 charges. Maximum sentence of 305 years. How many will he be found guilty of? How long, if he gets on...

I'm 90% sure it means "is", but don't quote me on that.

Cognitive dissonance?

It is what it is.

I was surprised how low that was, so wondered how it compared to here. It's 19%. :meh: Was 28% 4 years ago.

Income tax + NI + student loan + pension = 25.15%. So how does the tax rate compare with America? Unless it's significantly lower over there, what's t...

Good point. If I'm understanding this correctly, it's 12% of whatever I earn between £702 and £3,862 a month. Might be easier to just look at my last ...

That's a lot. I pay 20% on whatever I earn between £11,501 - £45,000.

UK premiums are £0 and deductibles are £0. And according to this, in 2017 we're 1st for equity and care process, 3rd for access and efficiency, 10th f...

Well, it's hosted in the UK and controlled by a Scottish guy living in Spain. Fuck the U.S.

I've always wondered about the purpose of using asterisks to "hide" offensive words. We all know what you're saying. Is it somehow less offensive if s...

And none of us can forget:

Everything is what it is.

There's some pretty compelling circumstantial evidence though. When talking about the hacking during a debate with Clinton he let slip something damag...

Pretty sure he was a professor and so already had a PhD.

Who wants to wager that he cannot reconcile the Bible with the immorality of stoning people to death and so has decided to forsake Christianity and is...

He's gone.

You should probably source that.

Doesn't seem much support for it from the experts: United States Space Force One tentative yes and a whole lot of noes.

Air Force Space Command Air Force "Hardens" Satellites to Prepare for Space War

Isn't the air force already doing that?

Great film.

What's this Space Force nonsense all about?

Pizza, or pizza pie?

More people than @"Baden" have tried and failed to argue against me.

I'm not sure why that would make a difference. More men live in London than Englishmen live.

What about my example: "more fish are eaten by sharks than people are"? This is "more fish are eaten by sharks than people are ". Is this congruent? S...

Or just "other people besides me have been to Russia".

I suppose it could be interpreted as "more people than I have been to Russia". Compare with "more fish are eaten by sharks than people are" which woul...

Sure: here's a reputable source.

You're not going back far enough. When the Devil rebelled against God, it was actually Hillary/Obama (they're the same person) rebelling against Trump...
