LoL, no with stock splitting you get the same value only with more stocks that can go up in value eventually. This is worse cause the same amount of work*(arguably more considering how many server farms are out there mining the same coin now as opposed to back when it started)* for half the value. So, in a very real sense it does actually halve the value. And that's not even looking at the fact that crypto currency has no inherited value. It's not backed by anything but the investment of interest by crypto bros and shady groups looking to hide transactions and assets.

Not only that but the ACA rating system for plans is completely useless because the insurance companies invent brand new plans every single year so none of them ever have any kind of rating.

Yes exactly!! We should stop giving billionaires massive tax breaks on their yachts and private jets give them to ordinary citizens for higher education.

There should be a third character walking up to them holding a sledgehammer labeled "melatonin".

The original Brexit vote should have been at 2/3 majority vote. The fact that it was a simple majority was absolutely bonkers and I'm sure the ones who put it in the ballot knew exactly what they were doing. They all made massive sums of money on Brexit while the morons who voted for it are losing their shirt.

Nowhere is this more evidenced than in this statement from the article.

But once the 18% who say they don’t know are taken out, 52% back EU membership with 48% opposing it - a complete reversal of the 2016 Brexit referendum result.

A full 18% of those polled couldn't even make up their damned mind about it. And the people who wrote this chose to clip those idiots out of the picture in order to create the narrative they wanted for this clickbait as fuck article. And I will bet you anything the the Brexit framers would make serious bank on any effort to rejoin. [/removes tin hat]

Okay I hate Bill Gates as much as anybody because he is a greedy scum sucking billionaire with extreme self-interest, but common core didn't fail because it was a bad idea. Setting a common standard for all of education is not a bad thing. The problem was that it was introduced during the Obama administration and the conservative think tanks went to work immediately to put out propaganda trying to make it into yet another culture war prerogative. It's been most recently tied to critical race theory even though CRT isn't taught in anything but collage law classes.

In fact, the one that pisses me off most is how they've demonized the new math curriculum simply because it doesn't jive with how it was taught in the past. But the way it was taught before was thought up by 1800's school marms and the new math standards were developed by actual mathematicians who knows how math works far better than a 19th century school teacher. Kids who are taught the new math standards will be capable of more advanced math far sooner than their parents and grandparents ever were.

Only if he can get the credit.

And money. These people only really care about the money.

What is in your email isn't the only data that sending one can generate. There's the IP address where it was sent from and where it's going, there's the time of day it was sent, there's a load of metadata attached they can read and glean information about you and your recipient. And there's advertisement opportunities in the interface that many services use to collect info on you. There are so many ways to collect data on you through your interactions online it's not even funny.

But yeah, keep pretending like you've found the only mail service that doesn't collect any data on you at all if it helps you cope.

I loved Allo. I was really depressed to have to use Whatsapp after Google cancelled it. And one of my favorite things to do was use my Google rewards points to buy music.

And they wonder why no one invests time and interest in any of their new "experimental" products.

Do you honestly believe that there is a mail service out there that does not record data on you?

Google: people weren't using it.

The People: you cancel literally everything you create, so why should we bother?

You're reading comprehension is lacking. The people I am referring to having a stigma against prostitution are not the pimps or the girls who are performing. It's the law and the society of people who think prostitution is a lowly profession for degenerates.

The problem in the countries that generally allow prostitution is that, though it has been legalized, it is still horribly stigmatized. Which creates that gap where forced prostitution can flourish. If a "business" is using illegal immigrants as forced labor, who can they turn to for help? That's a double dose of stigma right there. But even a native person who's being coerced would likely get little in the way of help since "upstanding" society looks down on their chosen profession.

Our collective worldly society needs to stop looking down their nose at sex workers as some kind of deviancy.

But then, seeing how religious extremists seem to be gaining power all over, I doubt we'll see any positive change on any of these things.

I have a job. I am currently getting ready to go to it. Then, since it is now Friday. I'm gonna order a god damned large pizza and then I'mma sit down in front of my big ass television set and play video games and eat pizza till I'm too tired to do either anymore.

Which, because I'm fucking old now, will probably be around 10:00 p.m. 😢

IT'S THURSDAY YOU FUCK!!!

Post this kinda shit on a Friday so I can fucking dream.

All adult sex work should be legal across the board. Anyone, of legal age, should be allowed to not only sell their services but they should be able to pay taxes and be allowed to unionize and collect benefits from any organization they work for (brothels).

A lot of the people in this world who are messed up in the head just need to get laid, and those doing to dirty work should be celebrated and rewarded for their efforts. I genuinely think this would make the world a better place.

I'm thinking more likely accidents are going to occur when people try to avoid road hazards or go around corners and they don't remember to turn on their turn signal and the car just goes straight and barrels into something...or someone.

Meanwhile your grandparents were golfing at 65 and are living comfortably on their reverse mortgages up to 95 years old.
