Yeah, I'm sure rampaging hordes of black people destroying everything in sight will make police officers feel more at ease when dealing with black people in the future.It's not just black people protesting. A lot of the people destroying stuff are from outside of those communities. And even as people are protesting against police violence, the police are abusing their power to enact violence - not just against rioters, but against peaceful protestors, reporters, and people not even involved with the protests.

I don't think I'm autistic, but people on the spectrum have shown to remember events from earlier than they were 3: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4852178/ Which lines up with my timeline.

Lol bro mild cold is like 20s and 30slolbro I've literally had many people tell me that 72 degrees is, "brrr freezing," then turn up the thermostat (or try) and put on several layers of clothes. Extreme heat is also life threatening, Severe heat waves often produce large "spikes" in mortality, especially during the 1995 heat wave across the Midwest. However, abnormally cold conditions have little effect on the standardized daily mortality. For example, February 1996, a cold period across much of the United States, produced no spikes in winter mortality levels. Similarly, from the 2016 U.S. National Climate Assessment: The relationship between mortality and an additional day of extreme heat is generally much larger than the relationship between mortality and an additional day of extreme cold. https://www.wunderground.com/cat6/Which-Kills-More-People-Extreme-Heat-or-Extreme-Cold Both extreme heat and extreme cold can be life threatening.

| Topic | Are we in a recession or depression? |
| ChocoboMog123 05/27/20 5:00:58 PM #2 | A recession is a contraction of GDP for two quarters (6 months). A depression is a steep decline in GDP for years. By definition, a recession is defined retroactively. Unemployment numbers and GDP show that we are most likely in a recession. But, unlike a normal cyclical recession, we are still in a bubble. Stimulus actions and sectors that can ignore the virus show strong signs of growth, showing that we can recover quickly if we can get passed the virus. One concern though is that a second wave could cause a sharp bump in coronavirus cases, cause businesses to bust, and may not receive the same safeguards as the first wave. If things go poorly, we can slide into a depression. Like I've said in plenty of other topics, our current economy is leveraged on debt. Taxes are low, interest rates have been at historic lows, and our national debt just keeps climbing. If coronavirus pops the bubble, we are in big trouble, if we can truck through it, we seriously need to shape up for the next recession. --- "You're sorely underestimating the power of nostalgia goggles." - adjl http://www.smbc-comics.com/comics/20110218.gif |

| ChocoboMog123 05/26/20 11:00:00 PM #62 | ThisGuyAreSick posted... and what happens if i get another friend to pick a random doorNo one's answered, but if your friend picks a RANDOM unopened door, it's 50% chance at winning. That's because one door has a 1/3 chance at being the prize and the other door has a 2/3 chance at being the prize. If your friend chooses the door you started with, he has a 1/3 chance. If your friend doesn't choose randomly and is given knowledge about your first choice, then he can choose intelligently. Part of the point of the Monty Hall problem is to figure out the strategy that's better than picking blindly. If you pick blindly, you have blind odds. Look at it another way, the rules of the Monty Hall problem allow you to pick between two choices "switch or stay". In what cases do you LOSE by switching? The only time you LOSE by switching is when your first choice was correct, which occurs in 1 out of 3 cases. --- "You're sorely underestimating the power of nostalgia goggles." - adjl http://www.smbc-comics.com/comics/20110218.gif |

| ChocoboMog123 05/23/20 2:42:40 AM #9 | The main issue is the blatantly bad faith "libertarians" who are often racist, economically illiterate, and really just want lower taxes. They'll post on and on about their rights to freedom, but still vote R on every issue. Then there's the people who fundamentally don't understand taxes. They either don't make enough money to even pay income tax or make just enough to feel it. They are self-centered individuals who literally don't understand what taxes are used for, what a public good is, or why some jobs are best paid collectively. They have theirs and refuse to acknowledge the systems in place that got them there. If you think "the private sector could do it better" or "government regulations usually get in the way of best business practices," I don't have a problem with you. Maybe we disagree on somethings, maybe it's just where the line is drawn.

Obama left a recovering economy and tons of prepared plans to Trump. Trump is going to leave a garbage fire to whoever takes over after. What's his best case scenario? Trump wins another term, Dems somehow take over House and Senate, and Trump and GOP play extreme-hardball to force Dems to appease and cut welfare programs and appoint moderates?
