The entire Oregon Coast is probably the most underrated part of the entire United States (weighted year-round, whereas the northern Maine Coast would take that spot if we were only ranking spring and summer). If 3/4 of the people who retire to Arizona or Florida knew what the Oregon Coast was, that's where they'd go (but they don't, they're retards who just do what they see other people do so its like lemmings all heading in the same direction). With Portland becoming "Portland", this isn't going to remain undiscovered much longer. I don't think there's any panic pricing happening since th

Hot dipped and baked shaved venison/giardiniera sandwiches with mozzarella. Coca Cola in the can. The end of fresh venison is near, getting into the sausages and jerkey. Most of the fresh cuts are gone. One package of loin left. Situation critical. Better arrange another deer ASAP.

If you cherrypick examples of dysfunctional governments and compare them to cherrypicked examples of high-minded capitalism, sure, but comparing reality to reality, private-industry capitalism utterly fails when there is a moral component to something that costs money.

Its a fair point. I'm not involved with that fund. I manage my own money. I'm not nearly as aggressive with my own money as I am with playmoney (obviously) but I do beat the tar out of anyone I might hire at random, or an index fund. I am 80%'ish in cash right now. Cash and heroin.

Some of us perform in the top quarter of the top 1% of the top 1% of money managers on earth, some of us get $50 gift cards. Yet your gift cards are worth more than my theoretical performance...

Anything that has any moral component, private companies tend to fail, since cost effectiveness doesn't always do so well when human beings are the product.

I just got a weird invitation to get paid to participate some market analysis-research Based on hasty recon, they don't sent out too many of those, I'm not sure if I want to do it or not, or maybe do it and then just troll.

I'm pro 'figuring out a good system'. The Chinese have an impossible-to-beat system right now, so we cry about 'ethics' and 'the enviroment' since we know we cannot compete with them on a pure cost basis. Are they "Communist"? Kinda. They're also capitalist as ****. They've leveraged aspects of both to create a systemic juggernaut that Western capitalism cannot compete with, ala the old chestnut of creating value surplus through making stuff. Of course, white people are just not wired to operate like orientals so that system wouldn't work for us, but perhaps we could take a page from the

Why is socialism not viable? Are you thinking of communism? ****ton of empirical evidence that socialism is not only viable, but superior in many ways. It's not really a strawman. The basic idea of capitalism is that people operating in their own self interests will create a magical enviroment through which goodness trickles down to everyone. Its not entirely without merit, a civilization is MUCH better off being lead, economically, by its brightest (and not by consensus) but it its like Vitamin D. Without Vitamin D, you die. You can also die by ingesting too much Vitamin D. Most pro capi

Interesting logic. Socialism will never work because there will always be some people will never do what's best for the whole, so instead, we're better off with a system where the default is people are guaranteed to never consider the whole and only do what's best for themselves? That is definitely 'murican logic; that it is better to let 100 people starve so that we may prevent 5 lazy bums from getting an undeserved welfare benefit, rather than ensure the 100 people don't starve and accept the 5 losers as a trivial consequence relative to the greater good of not letting people starve.

Arabians may be bankrupt in less than 5 years if oil stays low. http://money.cnn.com...StoryMoneyPhoto Thanks, Obama.

Its a fine desk, but the general rule of thumb is that anything you're going to live with for a very long time, spend whatever time it takes to make it as good as can be (because you're the one who has to live with it all the time). The only real critique I have is that putting a dark stain on cheap plywood is bad. You could have gone with a dark stain for the structural members (which is fine, has that institutional look) and a light or honey stain for the top that would've come off better. Also, good rule of thumb: anything that has a visible seam and faces people gets trim or veneer. It

I only had two cards going, including the freeroll but won on both. Kinda annoyed that I went against my better judgement and bet against Elkins but the rest came out OK.

Roast Venison with light blue-cheese Pico de Gallo, mashed red potatoes and a big pitcher of unsweetened mint iced tea. That's what I had for dinner tonight. I don't know what I'm going to do when I run out of venison. Hire a poacher, I guess.

Iowans are not a kind people. They're basically Germans, only without the three generations of forced faggotry as penance for Nazism. When you visit Iowa, you're visiting with the very same people who gave rise to Hitler.

No, but I'll have a medium sized bet on him.

They just had a Mexican woman on who said that she was staying put. The newscaster asked her what her plans were. She and her kids will be staying at a house with a friend. Newscaster said that this is a major storm and that hurricane chasers aren't even going in there since its so potentially dangerous. She says that she has lived there her entire life and doesn't want to give in to fear.

So the strongest hurricane in recorded human history is about to impact our continent and the news is talking about Lamar Odom.

THREE lines that have Aldo @ +160 or better. This is him, earlier today. https://instagram.com/p/9KSxp0DTuP/

He comes off as a legit nice guy. Now I feel guilty joking about not noticing him if he changed his avatar, but sometimes I feel like Brv and I got a kind of Fred Sanford and Lamont energy with each other, with him fully aware that he's playing the straight man. Back in the old FCP days, I actually met a couple people in person and had fun, but that was a personality-and-a-half ago.

I actually like Brv. He's always been eNice to me... and he seems genuinely interested in meeting, which is a bit weird; I'm the most boring human being on earth. It would be nothing but awkward silence. (By the way, Brv. If you actually want a piece of furniture, you can have one at no cost the next time I get a flake on an order of something that wouldn't impose too much, like an end table or a lamp. I'll let you know, no joke. There have been a couple times when I've had to give decent stuff away for the sake of space. It might be a while, but eventually, I always get hung by some decor

I'm an ******* in real life. The whole 'nice guy' routine on the internet is just a put-on for the ladies.

Oh, it is...

Please furnish a link to your instagram.

Not even a little bit. If he changed his avatar, I'd just assume he was a new poster.
