Again, if I'm honest, death threats (specifically the volume at which she would receive them) can have a pretty horrid effect on a person and I think it's disgusting that people use them, but at the same time, having to move house seems way too drastic.

I don't think anybody should have to consider death threats a normal thing, outside the American military and people playing a game.

Holy stuff, are you me?

I was just talking to a friend about this:

Oasis: I love the people that are all: Gamergate is all about ethical reform, god why are the feminational socialists and sjws ruining this for us?!?
Oasis: forget you random twitter person.
Friend: well the thing is, sjws have a tendancy to make things about them when it isnt there
Friend: like saying that death threats are more extreme to a woman than to a man
Oasis: Yeah, however.
Oasis: Here's the thing.
Oasis: DON'T loving MAKE DEATH THREATS.
Oasis: Treat people like people.
Friend: and if you NEED to say that to someone
Friend: chances are that someone isnt gonna listen
Oasis: Therein lies the problem.
Oasis: Basically, people shouldn't have to formulate responses to death or rape threats from the internet.
Oasis: I know you give them crap for it because what they are saying is stupid, but no one is emotionally prepared for that.
Oasis: Not a single person.

I know I might cause an argument or something, but I felt the need to post this.
My cousin was suicidal a few years back because his father was being very uncaring and abusive. I visited him at a mental institute and brought him a Bible. a few days later, he was up and doing things again. I believe that it gave him the words of encouragement to continue living.
You can ignore my advice, I don't care. That's at least how we saved my cousin.

Great... now he's living based on a book and not based on his own ideas and thoughts. Good job.

I'd refer to Warren Buffet's 2014 shareholder letter.

TLDR: Valuations fluctuate on whim, but production is real.  So concentrate on owning things that actually produce.

I have a significant amount of stock and the valuation has gone down, but the dividends that have paid out aren't going anywhere.  It's unlikely that all of American production is going to be swallowed up into the void, so when the valuations come back up I'll still be here.  Or we'll be living in mad max so it won't matter. 

God, now in my mind I'm imagining Warren Buffet in Mad Max leather. I don't know if I'm amused or uncomfortable.

well its kinda bullstuff.


but so long as religions are tax exempt, i have no issue with governments pushing them around. forget them.

Yessir.

Anyways, I don't even like public bathrooms on the best of days, so for transgenders to be having such a hissy fit about not being able to enter the correct one is mind blowing to me.

He's not addicted to ESO because its a good game, lol. He's probably depressed which led to obsession over something that was giving even the slightest amount of happiness, aka ESO.

This is interesting, because didn't the youtubers steal the footage from the game producers? If you have multiple people playing the same game at the same point it will generally look the same. The fact that the footage was more readily accessable in a downloadable format than an uploadable one when compositing her video shouldn't affect what the purpose of the video was.

I'm fine with Anita, however she did use other people's footage without consent or acknowledging it wasn't something she herself captured. Credit has to go where credit is due.

yus i rocked the stocks

That's an awesome band name.

i do metals MORE now since the markets are bullstuff and falling apart. even some low level personal trader like me can feel the difference from 8 years ago lol.
real stock trading is done by brokers with fancy software that makes 500 trades per minute automatically. with no human input at all. its all robots predicting and moving money now.
technically if you look very closely at a more zoomed in detailed chart, the stock market completely crashes about 20 times a day lol. but no human attention to be had, so it recovers a second later by more trades and no reactions.

Yeah, I had an economics teacher in high school that was into stock trading and he would constantly tell us about how unfair and stuffty it was that trading at that quantity and speed was allowed.
