Investing in real estate is like investing in anything else: you're taking a risk and you can, in fact, lose money. Sounds like some of these landlords were irresponsible and didn't understand that before staking all their capital

Maybe if Robinhood had done literally anything to not appear like they were colluding with their customer Citadel people wouldn't have constructed "false narratives". Its some impressive mental gymnastics to see a broker lo

I'm not sure what you're getting at here. Father Caughlin was not a plucky underdog speaking truth to power when he downplayed Kristallnacht and blamed the Jews for their own persecution. The "alledged misinformation" wa

So I've been sober for a couple years now and I've met many others in various stages of their own recovery, and what you're describing sounds extremely familiar. Every person's addiction is unique, but self-isolation is

One of the fatal medical issues was a man accidentally tazering himself to death while trying to loot a portrait of Tip O'Neill, so it seems reasonable to infer that one's "related to the violence"

I"m not sure where you're getting the idea that Jack disagrees with most or even many of Trump's policies. edit to clarify in response to parent's edit (lol): I don't doubt Twitter enjoyed being the primary platform

In Portland and Seattle this summer, cops gassed entire city blocks and started cracking skulls after a few bottles got thrown at them. But here they practically let the fascist mob walk into the capitol. And some people say that white priv

The perpetual license fallback saved me when my license expired. Due to the US holidays it took our purchasing department a week or two to renew my license. In the mean time I was able to fall back to an older version, and upgrade once my n

The equivalence absolutely has merit. "People thinking dumb things about politics" absolutely has the ability to cause panic, potential injury, and death. You can look at Facebook's role in the Rohingya genocide in Malaysia a

So what exactly is the problem here? Youtube (and capital in general) don't like the idea of a contested election leading to political uncertainty and they're using their platforms to advocate for that position. DoorDash and Uber

I feel for her but this entire line of reasoning and Daniel's Law are hypocritical and self-serving. For our nation’s sake, judicial security is essential. Federal judges must be free to make their decisions, no matter how unpopular,

Dan's comment about gatekeeping in STEM and dismissing the problem as "some people just can't hack it" rings very true to me. I remember tutoring undergrad math back in the day; it was a walk-in thing where students woul

I agree with this assessment. I believe home streaming new releases will compete with theaters, but I don't think it will completely replace them. Anecdotally, my wife and her friends all love going to the theater to see movies and I e

Monetary impact is serving as a proxy and metric for the scope of the problem. As others have pointed out, not all burglary and larceny is necessarily violent. But you're also missing the point that wage theft is not always a dispassio

No one is born knowing social norms, so yes I would agree that many if not most men, at some point , struggled. Myself included. But norms change over time and I find the prospect of a sea change like the author seems to suggest, that leav

It's also a bad analogy: a dog reacting aggressively to their own image vs a human getting aroused by images of someone else. It's apples and oranges folks! I came up with two much better analogies 1. Ever think a dog is dumb for

Everything you said is true; making the summons more understandable and reminding people will not solve the structural issues that effectively criminalize poverty in America. But, it has helped in some cases, and its such low-hanging fruit.

I've found following Strunk's "make every word count" dictum causes me to take much more time when composing. So 4-8 pages per week sounds like it would take an awful lot of time indeed
