I feel like such a handicap for not mining bitcoins with my 7950 back in 2013

Honestly, you shouldn't. Pretty early on, it got to the point where non-ASIC miners weren't producing coins worth the electricity and hardware they were mined on.

Now, in hindsight, it would have been worth it if you were to hold onto them until they blew up to $12k, but that's very unlikely in itself.

It's not hard to 'almost be a millionaire' in hindsight. If a hooded figure handed you a spreadsheet detailing exactly how just the Dow 30 will change throughout the next trading day, you could take whatever money is in your bank account, get it leveraged as much as possible, and then become a billionaire by tomorrow by making only the maximally effective trades calculated using a computer.

Inside Seventh's Seperate Reality

Maybe this concept is unclear to you because the extent of your social interaction is a LEGO forum, but women really don't like it when you make unwanted romantic advances at them. This isn't even a SJW thing. If you bump into a stranger under a plant and then start forcibly kissing them without any sort of pretense or discussion, you're a loving creep.

Also, that link doesn't go to Vid.me

"If you bump into that special someone under the mistletoe tonight, remember that without consent it is rape"

Kissing a random stranger without their permission definitely falls somewhere on the spectrum of loveual assault/harassment.

liberals have more ground to cover than that if they wanna get the votes lmao

There are already signs of a shift. Ossoff barely lost a race for a seat which was previously held by Newt Gringrich, and Roy Moore may very well actually lose the election to Doug Jones. It's unlikely but possible, which should ordinarily never be the case for Alabama.

The midterm elections are a referendum on how well voters think Annoying Orange is doing. All evidence suggests that he's an unpopular president, so it follows that the Democrats will gain ground. I think that they'll take the Senate back if Moore loses.

cue the cavalcade of stuffheads ironically screaming "BUT HRE EMIALS"

liberals have a lot of ground to cover before we catch up to the months spent listening to conservatives respond to an obviously-metaphorical protest movement with "but he is ur president tho"

The argument that children are parasites is also gross and shows a real lack of common humanity.

Completely agree. Kids have substantial value: such as being used as bargaining chips in Internet arguments.

Posts like these make me wish I saved leisure's old avatar.

In defense of the Republicans, the plan (as a whole) looks less worse than I anticipated. Haven't had time to pour through it thoroughly yet, so still plenty of room for me to be horrified at a brazenly one-sided defense of the ultra-rich at the cost of everything that actually helps working class Americans.

I did make an error in my post though, which is that the Democrats are probably going to take Congress back from the GOP. So maybe we'll only see one more big victory :^?

Well it's only been literally 316 days since Annoying Orange's inauguration, and he's finally managed to snag a real, bona-fide legislative victory.

Can't wait to see what three other things he's gonna do.

Didn't we try this with the RAISE thing and people blew their stuff all over the walls in response?

Because it's literally handicapped. 99% of valuable American immigrants would fail the stringent point system imposed by the law.

EDIT: Now that I think of it, he didn't even admit to "drugging women". He admitted to giving women drugs. Not the same.

It's all straw-grasping. That's the involuntary drugging-equivalent of saying that you slipped on the shampoo bottle in the shower.

The reason I am in favor of taking people to trial is because that's where the majority of hard evidence gets to be displayed. If that hard evidence is shown out of court, then that's fine too. It's why I think that Harvey Weinstein did what he did; because we have the tapes.

That's a fair position. But why does Bill Cosby admitting to drugging women with Quaaludes not count as hard evidence?

Even then, does it matter? The guy is an illegal immigrant who's slipped into the country at least six times. He has prior drug offenses. He should not have been here. In fact, he WOULD not have been here had San Francisco not been a sanctuary city.

I also agree that people with extensive rap-sheets shouldn't be allowed to immigrate here, legally or otherwise. But maybe the solution here is to reform immigration policies so that we can have more good people granted citizenship and less people like him allowed in, and then perhaps San Francisco would comply with federal immigration law.

hey let's talk about this bullstuff

I mean, if courts are the ultimate arbiter of truth on matters like whether Cosby raped somebody, then clearly this guy is innocent. Having an opinion on criminal behavior outside of the precepts of a legal court is clearly unacceptable.
