The person complaining about saying "dude" already lowered the tone of the drasticaly debate by saying, apparently without a hint of irony, "stop thinking like a poor person." So I agree there's a lot of low qualit

Also chiming in here, it's not a big deal at all to call someone "dude", because this isn't a formal debate, it's just a web forum.

So you have no evidence or reasoning whatsoever, just an analogy involving a car and vibes. That macroeconomics is difficult is no reason to just start doing random shit. I'm not asking for "indisputable hard evidence", but

Well yeah that's why Ponzi schemes suck. Why should it be acceptable to profit from a Ponzi scheme? It's not your money at that point, whether you realise it or not.

Any evidence for your claim that deflation following a period of inflation has fewer (or none) of the harms associated with deflation? Any reason to believe that central bankers are in a good position to fine tune to get just the right amo

by twixfel 4y ago
Right, but central bankers aren't magicians, they thought this inflation was transitory, it's probably best not to play with fire and start deliberately aiming for deflation, given how dangerous deflation can be. Deflation is bad

I know it's not a gender mistake, but a mistake in the case is generally more meaningful than a mistake in the gender. A mistake in gender is even less important. I agree one should try . I certainly try . I can often look at a w

Getting the wrong case for an article or picking the wrong conjugated form for the verb is about as far from being a "grave grammatical mistake" as can be. Yes it matters, no it's not remotely reasonable or acceptable to jus

Well, this is one of the problems Germany has. Lots of moaning about immigrants failing to integrate, no real effort on the part of the bulk of the existing population to help them integrate, including such luxuries as "talking"

I don't really agree, when you insist on being known mononymously you have to accept that you are inviting ridicule.

Some examples he used are never said. I would say something like "perchance" very rarely, and "Good morrow" never. "Would you mind", well I suppose we say this all the time.

Maybe it's not the bare minimum? Maybe they had limited funding, largely access only to "Western sperm" (which actually is a reasonable category I would argue because we share a lifestyle to a greater or lesser degree), mayb

I mean it doesn't scale in the slightest so it doesn't solve any problems really, so there's that. In terms of latency it depends, every decent underground system will have passengers waiting no more than a few minutes. Wor

Northern Ireland is not a colony according to the common and widely understood meaning of the word colony (or in the opinion of the UN). If you make up your own definition based on "local armies" (whatever relevance or meaning th

I guess you're going for the vested interests or conspiracy angle, but it's not necessarily reasonable, e.g. I'd love to hear more from him, I had no interest in FTX or this "SBF" guy until it crashed.

Is it that simple though? By your logic it's possible to never fire anyone, just change the contract until they resign... doesn't really make sense to me.

I like Russian people, I work with many here in Germany where many live, in my experience they're much more friendly than the average German that's for sure. But no, I don't like your fascist state, and I can't imagine

Yes, and the Sudeten Germans loved the Nazi German annexation of the Sudetenland, but it was still a criminal and deplorable act that led to WW2 and innumerable crimes. Ethnic nationalism as an excuse for wars of conquest doesn't real

It's Europe's business when a European country launches a European war of conquest. See: WW2 for what can happen when you just ignore fascist wars of conquest.

But even that perspective that you ascribe to India is reductive. It seems in your view, India are the only ones who understand complexity, the West are just arrogant morons. In reality, everyone's equally just looking out for themse

If people want to leave your country, it makes more sense to make them want to stay rather than force them to stay. Besides, in the end, emigration is good for India. Indeed one of the things that India wants from the UK for a trade deal

How about some evidence? And why are you getting all high and mighty? Your stance is among the basest imaginable, you have no reason to speak in that way.

Not a very convincing argument on any level. All you're telling us is that you don't want people living near you, OK, but we already knew that.

Germany caused both world wars. Germany explicitly gave AH a blank cheque to invade Serbia, knowing that this would draw Russia and France into the war. They wanted a war with Russia then because they knew Russia was rearming.
