IMO, it's an argument against diversification. The Nikkei's decade-long stagnation is proof that the indices that are widely considered "diverse" are not immune to stagnation. This is from a trader/investor's…
Yeah and our government is continuing to take pages from China's playbook for the last fucking decade... and not the plays that work.
I mean these stocks have been performers for decades. If you posted this 10 years ago you'd look really wrong.
Okay, I do agree with this. IQ probably correlates with effort a little, but my anecdotal experience is that the most successful people in my school were primarily smart as opposed to being hard workers. Of course,…
There's no IQ correlation with zip code? Think again
This is laughable. Most children (sampled randomly from the United States) could absolutely not score 145 on a WAIS assessment. Your perception of the average children's intelligence is likely skewed by being surrounded…
This is far from proven fact. There are studies that show this effect, and there are studies that disagree. I can certainly see the argument for it being true in extremely Low-SES evnironments, but I don't believe this…
The number 1 predictor of educational outcome is IQ by a long shot, which is hardly affected by any of the factors you listed. Yes, high IQ kids usually have high IQ parents who are likely to prevent those things,…
Oh yes, Trump famously lets people tell him what to do. It's always the "Zionists"
Experience is probably (at least should be) the differentiating factor.
It will probably increase total global oil production, which is good for the US consumer (what Trump seems to care about more), but not US producers.
I would probably have a stronger gripe with the ridiculousness of the tariffs than Tim Cook's refusal to bribe the president. Also, to say that not bribing would make him an "honest businessman" is slightly unfair. He…
I'm aware of the open bribery by the administration. That has nothing to do with my comment.
Yes, the reason Apple was so successful at Cook's helm is because he gifted Trump a plaque.
We would need a larger sample size than just myself, but the raccoon was in the very first spot I looked. Found it literally immediately, as if that's where my eyes naturally gravitated to first. Hopefully that's just…
This is laughably false. The leadership in Tehran is smart, and they know that nukes are the most assured path to the regime's self-preservation. (see: North Korea). They've been trying to build nukes since the 80s.
> Also seems that having a very capable military that lets you project power around the world also invites that power to be used. I assure you that is a much better problem than the alternative.
I'm not arguing the necessity of him having to shoot, but there is absolutely enough reasonable fear for it to be legally justified.
Thanks for the chuckle. I'm sorry you feel that way
I'm not concerned about "privacy" on public roads. If law enforcement illegally detaining and murdering people is a concern, I'd rather increase accountability for the law enforcement officers engaging in illegal…
I'm actually not surprised. As a conceal carrier, I think that most people that conceal carry a firearm are woefully under-trained and potentially a liability. I still absolutely encourage people willing to put in the…
I'm going to provide a bit of nuance here, but would like to clarify I am not a fan of ICE's tactics in the slightest. Yes, the ICE agent was stupid for standing in front of the car, just as Renee Good was stupid for…
I prefer people to be held accountable for their actions while driving, actually.
Thanks for that constructive, helpful comment. I have helped several people carrying a first-aid kit.
I have a license to carry a handgun, and it was at a public university in a state that allows this.
