That's a fair interpretation. Admittedly I've known him long enough that I'm familiar with these experiences of his, so I didn't probe too much into this exact event and what he thought everyone else was doing. He also…
You've reminded me of a friend of mine who reached the point in his life where he was going to furnish his home with new furniture. He boasted how he was only going to buy American and wasn't going to be like everyone…
"but not guarantee" is almost the entire point of what folks are pointing out and what the OP meant - you could do literally everything perfect and still it's VERY likely you will fail.
It's basically don't waste your time with corp dev. http://www.paulgraham.com/corpdev.html You hit the nail on the head that it's way too much work when there's not even a contingent offer on the table. A real buyout…

Why is publicly saying "hey, a few companies are selling shorts of gamestop and trying to drive it into the ground, I think that's bullshit. If you think it's bullshit, too, here's how you could do something about it."…
That same page also says "Investors and prospective investors should be cautious of rumors on chat rooms where the intent of nameless and faceless computer users is in doubt." So it'd be a question of which is it? Is it…
Off the top of my head I recall etrade, fidelity, schwab, and TD ameritrade allowed people to buy GME. I understand being able to buy on margin has been restricted almost everywhere, though.
They will likely lose a lot of their users. The users were never the customers - not even the gold ones.
Honestly, I've typed out a few replies, and I've got nothing. Basically, I'm saying I don't trust cops because they kill 1,100 people a year. That's it. That's my whole argument. Just 1,100 lives. Every year. You're…
To my knowledge, much of the rest of the developed world doesn't have a problem with cops being able to lie under oath with no punishment. The non-adversarial systems you reference rely on the confidence that when a cop…
That's my point - not that a judge should grant a warrant to a crackhead, but that they should act as if they're granting a warrant to a crackhead. So basically the opinions, social standing, and claims of the entity…
I'm mainly commenting on the way up parent here: "They got a warrant. Judges aren't going to issue a warrant based on asking a bunch of people if they sent a message." Judges absolutely issue warrants all the time just…
The issue is: the evidence they gathered was that her home was specifically NOT part of any drug rings. The judge went ahead and issued a warrant even though all actual evidence said her house was not involved. Cops…
Yeah, I bet if someone came over and beat the shit out of you for only an hour a day, you'd be correcting people that the person is only sometimes an asshole.
Read up on Brian Miller in the Parkland shooting. Let children die because he ran away. Still working as a cop. They tried to fire him but can't.
They have no legal obligation to be there or do that job. If they refuse, there can be no punishment. This has gone to the federal courts, and even the Supreme Court, several times. Cops have absolutely zero legal…
But the chance of getting away with killing a few people becomes non-existent if you actually try to do something sane.
Eh, don't side with cops. They have no legal obligation to do anything. They know this. So they pick their battles where they know they can kill a few people and get away with it. When it comes to actually having a…
The law actually isn't different. Cops just have qualified immunity and have shown they throw hissy fit little tantrums if a DA holds them responsible for being the worthless sacks of shit that they are.
Have you even bothered researching the Breonna Taylor case? The judge issued a warrant in spite of evidence clearly saying she's not guilty, and she's dead now. Judges routinely issue warrants just because the good ol…
You are aware cops have absolutely no obligation to enforce the law, right? So you or me entering this woman's home with guns drawn - we have the same obligation to be there as a cop. This whole "oh but the cops are…
Theoretically, these businesses are already priced to maximize profit. So it could be that increased wages increases the cost to the consumer. It could also mean lower profits for the business if they've already priced…
My point is that my experience has been that assholes are going to be assholes regardless of how much you educate them. We see this now where those with no education and very little wealth are out there saying "Trump…
Are you saying we need even more education than what doctors currently attain? Or are you agreeing with my underlying point that education doesn't matter and won't help here?
