Why would I tie up funds in a mortgage where I can make more in the market with those funds? Just have to make sure I actually put my funds into the market, heh...

Why would you be involved in their loans at all, if you're the seller of the house? How would you know what they were putting as down payments or what their incomes were?

Americans aren't the only ones to overweight the shady monetary policy in China, and as a result it'll not become the defacto standard like the US Dollar is, as long as that shadiness remains.

Going through mortgage application now, they grill the shit out of you on every little detail of your life now. They're aware of the last crash, and have done a lot to compensate.

Who would go to jail? Corporations are built specifically to shield the employees/owners of the corporation from liability. Like, I know the sovereign citizen stuff is all nonsense, but this is kind of their point. They're tryin

Yeah but like, is it really also not "pocket change" to just actually give "unlimited" service? Or what about the effectiveness of the "unlimited" lie, was that worth spending an extra $60MM on the marketi

It's individuals today! Scott Snyder had a run with Batman, so did Grant Morrison (both wonderful in their own way), then you've got Tom King, and who could forget Frank Miller or Alan More. You've got Alex Ross with Superm

That's what regulation does, it restricts the players in a field to the ones who have the resources to follow those regulations. It is definitely a limiting factor on an industry, but I thought we were sort of assuming that the rampan

Do we benefit from drawing lines between "cinema" and... whatever you might call a Marvel film? What do we call a Marvel film, if not "cinema"? Further, why isn't anything at risk? Infinity War got about as close

I think you're looking for a more direct (verbal) story, and mistaking the absence of such as a fault of the game. The point of the article, as I read it, was to describe how Fortnite uses its play area over time to build a lore, witho

It absolutely is warranted, just stop going above the speed limit, and all your speed trap problems go away. You're acting like you have no choice but to speed, but you do have a choice, you always can decide to go the speed limit.

Maybe, but there are a bunch of smart folks here too, and no one can come up with a good reason for this costing $2k/year. It's possible $166/mo is not enough of a hit on his income so as to be worth spending time optimizing
