America is a constitutional republic, not sure why you think that equates to freedom.

Now I'm trying to decide whether this is a trolling that I don't get or if TC is just one of those people who takes in too much propaganda.

I drive the 5 and 405 in California frequently and I always leave two lengths because people are crazy and I like my car.

Of course if I see where I can cut through and get around a clump of traffic I will break my rule, but in general it makes no sense to endanger yourself just to close gaps and get to your destination seconds early; I'd say you have emotional issues if you're the type who does this often.

You must live in SoCal too. The 5 and 405 are two of the biggest pieces of shit in LA. I used to drive the 101 every day. My god it sucked.

But yeah, leaving two lengths is the right idea. Better to be safe and lose a bit of time than rear end someone. I have personally witnessed two collisions, and one of them was a really bad rear end collision (3 cars because some stupid woman was looking at her phone).

For TC, it's pointless to be upset by driving defensively. Just protect yourself and don't worry about it. Also, pay attention to those truck drivers as they get crazier by the day, at least here in southern California. I even got clipped by one who was tailing me for no reason. Even had to call the police as the guy was screaming in my face. At least his company covered the repairs, but yeah, it was an unpleasant experience nonetheless.


I hate the 101 even more than my normal drive. At least the 405 has predictable rushes, the 101 seems to be ass at all times of day save for the witching hour.

Every once in a while you see a couple people in a crash in the fast lane trying to dodge traffic while yelling at each other. Not only do these people seem to not realize that they did something stupid and caused their accident but they increased everyone's commute by close to an hour. I intensely dislike these people and seeing people brag about driving stupidly triggers me.

As disgusting as that is, all you are doing is ruining 2 consenting adults lives


Yeah.

Thats the metric we have decided is the determining factor in whether sexual relations between adults are allowed or accepted.

1. Are they both legally adults

2. Do they both consent, as in is the female in the situation not in any legal way able to claim after the fact her senses were compromised before or during sexual relations

3. Self harm is not allowed up to a point because in western society our bodies are owned by the economy and expected to output a certain amount of economic value before being allowed to die

Follow those 3 rules and you cnt get in trouble for doing ANYTHING (aside from incest, because thats how kingdoms form, not to imply I am for it, but thats the real reason the government is against it when that used to be what the government was)


Number 3 makes me the most sad, capitalism run amok and people for the most part don't even care that you don't really own your own body in a legal sense as an American.

No.

After she gets better communicate to her about how important sex I for you to feel fulfilled, if she does not give you sex then have another conversation about why she doesn't want to have sex with you. If you guys can't come to an agreement then end the relationship.

You could also see if she would be okay with you getting sex from other people, but of course that is a long shot.

He's not at fault, his rates will not go up.

That's not how it works. If you are in an accident then your rate will go up as you have increased your history of needing to claim, if it's your fault then you'll get a motoring offense too and that will increase it further.

No, that is how it works.
My fucking car is a battering ram for people, most recently a fucking senator drove into it in the parking lot. Since I am not in the car, and a parked car is never ever at fault, my rates don't go up. I just have to keep going back to the police station over and over.

If your insurance company raises your rates because someone else hit your car that you weren't even in, change insurance companies. You accidentally bought into a scam.

This year I reached 35% discount on my car insurance for safe driving. 15 years without an accident :D


This...

You don't make a claim with your own insurance company when someone strikes your vehicles, guys... You get that person's insurance information, call your own company and give it to them so they can start their claimant process. Call the police if the person refuses to give you their info; in most states you're supposed to call the police regardless.

Holy crap, bros. Have you guys been filing with your own insurance company when in an accident that wasn't your fault for years or something?

Edit: And if the person doesn't have insurance then you definitely have to call the police so you can eventually get a civil judgement against them to pay for your damages. L2adult, guys. Not knowing how the world works can be extremely expensive :(

If liberals never got angry people wouldn't think twice about something they do or say might be offensive to others. Without liberals same-sex marriage, abortion, birth control, and privacy wouldn't exist.


Privacy is eroding, dude.

I agree with the other things, but I think liberalism is starting to attack people's rights more than anything these days. Gay marriage and all that granted more rights/liberties to people. Banning language because it is offensive is moving backwards.

Most modern day Liberals aren't actually Liberals. They like to hide behind the banner because it makes people more likely to agree with them, but if anything they are more conservative authoritarian.

Which is funny, the modern day "feminist" is basically someone who want women to revert back to the 50's where they were coddled instead of being given independence.


Took the words out of my mouth.

Taking away individual rights for the proclaimed good of the population at large is what the undercover fascists are trying their hardest to turn liberalism into. Some of them I assume are mentally I'll and don't see the hypocrisy, some of them don't care and want to remake the world in their own image, some of them want to destroy the left and are trolling.

The same people have infected the right as well. Those 50+ year olds on Facebook who call everyone snowflakes yet blow a gasket when a NFL player kneels.

I'm sure the massive majority of Americans are moderates but the crazies yell so loudly that it both drowns out reason and keeps the normal people away.


Narcissists have weaponized social media and is why so many people get depressed now.

I remember when internet was all anonymous.

People made friends or not based on their ideas and not their physical labels.


I believe this is the main reason why I go to forums like gamefaqs rather than messing with Facebook or Instagram - you can easily defeat any biased you may have and just have conversations with people when you're only seeing text.

Like reruns was saying, the market is all just speculation propped up by absolutely nothing. A random blogger with a throwaway email took xrp from $0.80 to $3.50 and now it is back down again.

If MoneyGram doesn't excite would-be investors then you know the market is bs and supported by average goes rather than professionals - that means it is a snatch and grab game, not a holding one.

Who knows? Maybe by the end of the year things will mature but if you're not wave riding right now then you're obviously doing it wrong. You can't predict the bottom because none if the algorithms has any intrinsic value as defined by the market, you're not trading commodities here.

I hope some of you guys made some money on that +-15% on ether over the last hour and didn't just "wait it out" riding on hope.


I'm still holding my initial pre-Xmas investment... 'cuz Canada. trying to get quadriga going


What is the deal up there? I can't really find anything other than taxes on each transaction, which is meh since we (USA) get taxed on them all at the end of the year anyway.

The funny thing about the taxes here is that if you hold for less than a year you get hit for your normal income tax rate but more than a year you pay 15% if you are in the 25% bracket or higher. People already have offshore shelters set up for their profits.

Hey Ethereum is below where I sold, time to buy back in once the drops stop. Weeee.

EDIT: Damn, it recovered from the bottom really quick. Lowest it dropped was $850ish, and not 5 minutes later it was back to $950. Darn my hesitation. Oh well, I'm back in and making money again.


Cowabunga, time to get some of that sweet gnar-gnar.

The fact that nobody hear has mentioned South Korea, and that this is reminiscent of the China fiasco from last year means no one here knows squat lol makes me wish the crypto chat on PotD would stop. I'm not Cilantro and I won't tell you what to do with your money, however. Good luck investing dudebros.


Well it is common knowledge as it has been on feeds all over the world. If you read the thread you will see at least myself saying that I pulled out of ripple at a little over $3, and anyone with a bit of cursory research would know that if you're talking about xrp then you're talking about Seoul.

To reply to your statement, yes, we have already talked about South Korea but only implicitly via ripple as people who are not highly entrenched in South Korea's legal system would have any knowledge of what is happening outside of blogs full of guesswork.

You seem to be one of those dudes who is eager to prove he is more intelligent than others yet can't see the forest for the trees.

This article sums up Billy Butthurts angst. Even with this drop, I am still up 20% in a month thanks to my ETH gains. Obviously not rich, but nice spending money. You could never get that type of return through traditional asset classes.

Same here. Even though alt coins took a dive I put my profit from November into ether and rode that wave from $700 to $1300 to make a pretty fat stack on a simple news article from a random blogger.

Still:

Looking really, really good with those picks guys.

Cilantro, you're a magician. You can turn $500 into $300 in less than a week.

Hocus pocus.


Yeah... I haven't been taking any advice from this thread. Buying coins that are derivatives of more popular tech with no enhancements doesn't sound like a good idea at all.

I'm all about replacing our fiats but I still think that I at a minimum ten years and lots of growing pains down the road, so for now I am content to throw in $6000 and pull out when it grows 15% on some random rush.

I'm doing comparatively well for my age but I'm still not going to scoff at making ~$1000 every couple days with practically no effort. It looks like the wave is over though, at least for now.

Fiat replacement is a joke and a pipe dream. The only cryptos that will survive are those with a tangible use beyond just being digital gold. There is a reason ETH is through the roof and BTC is slowly bleeding to death.


Don't misunderstand, I'm praying to jeebus that it never happens. I'd love to keep supplementing my income and rira with $10,000-25,000 every month. I'm about to buy a condo in Vegas I've always wanted guilt-free with their crazy hoas due to the volatile crypto market.

To me, the bolded part is the most important sentence in your post. That has been my entire point all along in my comments. If you guys want to gamble - and that's all this is - go ahead. You might make a little money or you might lose quite a bit of your initial investment.

But people should not be thinking that they will get rich trading in this garbage, that they're some type of genius investor for doing it or encourage other people to join the mania.

And for that, numerous people in this thread that look pretty stupid now jumped all over me.

Like TC, who may have gotten someone else to buy "BAT" based on the claim that it "would be at least $1.50" by now, while it is trading for way less than he bought it for and less than 1/3 of his predicted price target. And he still won't admit that he was wrong.

It's one thing to waste your own money. It's another to try to persuade others to do it.

Sadly, some of you might be able to learn how to invest and make real money if you took the time, but I think the appeal of get rich quick schemes is far too strong. That's why there are so many retail investor suckers getting burned on this stuff, which is a huge signal to get out of it.

lol you are so mad. Crypto had an even bigger drop last month, then hit all-time highs. You clearly dont follow this market, but please keep posting here. Watching you shit down both legs is hilarious.


Ripple went down 75% and stellar took a 60% hit. Was the Bitcoin crash really worse than that? As far as I can tell the btc crash maxed at around 50%.
