I find this argument is utterly destroyed by the fact that the message is a complaint about the 'other side' telling her to modify behavior to spend less money. Yet her behaviors include some really egregious spending. How could I

It's not really a circular definition because "impairment" and "goodwill" are two words with their own meanings in accounting/finance, so "goodwill impairment" including those two words separately in

Wow, $1B goodwill impairment sounds absurd (for a company of Etsy's size). Had to look this up. https://www.fool.com/investing/2023/02/02/etsys-1b-problem-t... > In this case, Etsy believes that

The study of me walking down the street and crossing paths with a homeless man throwing a brick into the street, chasing after it, and throwing it again, all while screaming obscenities to himself.

I'll take the bait. It's not so surprising to see "reactionary" politics when social 'progress' continues to become more and more demented. But I'll admit, fake meat is not even present on my list of probl

I don't know if this is what was meant, but my assumption is that it is quite brazen and crude. But then I think of some alternative method where they send an ajax request to "sleep.google.com/?t=5" and get a response li

Such an accusation coming from a family member is different than when it comes from some random homeless drug addict off of the street.

I had to sell my home while coordinating a cross-country move. The agent handled everything for me and did a good job on the negotiation given the fact that prices were coming down while this happened.

Considering you had pneumonia, your appetite was low on your list of problems. Try not eating for three days when you're otherwise healthy, and observe what it does to your body and mind.
