Millions of Americans are beginning to ask themselves this question: Is the Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) a competent central bank or a terminally compromised regulator that simply does the bidding of Wall Street’s mega banks to the peril of average Americans and the U.S. economy? Millions of other Americans have already made up their minds on this point.

These persistent doubts about an institution with an $8.8 trillion balance sheet – that is backstopped by the U.S. taxpayer– is very bad for confidence in the U.S. banking system, especially when the Fed pivots from one banking bailout to the next. (What was the size of the Fed’s balance sheet prior to its serial bailouts? On December 26, 2007, the Fed’s balance sheet stood at $929 billion. It has soared by 847 percent in just over 15 years of serial bailouts.)

Let’s look at the evidence that’s been stacking up against the Fed since the financial crisis of 2008 – the worst economic collapse in America since the Great Depression of the 1930s.

Well, to be fair, it has to be deeper, since everyone knew death vas involved.

But... What exactly are you defending? You don't own land, and there is no community. And even if you managed to get kids, good luck keeping them from getting castrated.

Nah... The deal was always life for land and family. And now, they offer neither.

Somewhere I heard a good explanation.
When you work at Google, you don't get promoted for maintenance or increase profit. Your best way to get promoted is to push through a new feature. So, every ambitious bastard pushes through some change, and then leaves it as soon as it's released so they can push a next one ASAP.

At this point, I am starting to just stop people in middle of their sentence, whenever they use the Misinformation/Disinformation terms, demanding them to re-phrase with normal language.

Because our brains know how to handle someone who's stupid or wrong. If if a person is disinformed, our brain starts seeing him as an enemy drone.

The last one is the most important one.

Do not get pranked bros.

Man, I seriously miss the DOMS. It was seriously quite motivating to feel the progress, but now, without it, you can hardly tell if you're pushing the right way.

Whenever this point comes up you know it’s a woman devising it. When girls hear this they think “oh….so the way we behave doesn’t let this stranger fit in….they judge me negatively? I should change my behavior!”

Guys don’t work that way, instead we hear it and get the idea that we’re simply incompatible. “Oh, so they don’t like it when we’re all hanging out? Huh, whatever I’ll keep my distance, we’ll give them plenty of space after work so we can relax without worrying about offending them. They can find their own, more compatible friend group”
