Yeah, another way of thinking about this is that if instead of investing in the US market you had instead invested in a bunch of Euros stuffed under your mattress, even this "investment" would be up 11%.

The DOW isn't a very good indicator of the U.S. economy. You're just cherry-picking the index that makes you look the best. The S&P 500 is a much better indicator. That said, the S&P 500 is still up a lot in terms of USD. But as Slick mentioned, the value of the USD is down. This isn't some ...

An extramarital affair is one thing. What do you (or anyone else) think about Juanita Broaddrick's accusation that Bill Clinton raped her?

Jeff250

Sadly, I have to agree. But at least he had the temerity to apologize to his accuser for his past behavior and she accepted it. Another recent one has shocked me as well.

You can have whatever opinion on pronouns, but one thing Peterson is guilty of is perpetuating the false narrative that you can be arrested for using the wrong pronoun.

Does the *.exe mean no linux support?

You don't have to find them all. You just have to have enough enforcement so that the price of obtaining blackmarket goods is greater than the one of obtaining them legally.

The traits that the original author identified as feminine are beneficial for being an engineer. However, they would have to be as beneficial as the traits that the author identified as masculine to expect a 50/50 split between engineers with "feminine" versus engineers with "masculin...

We have touched on the historicity of Jesus before: there is virtually universal acceptance among historians that Jesus was a real person who really lived. Who he really was is hotly debated, but the question of whether there really was a historical figure by the name of Jesus isn't really open for...

My thoughts are that there was nothing "scientifically-backed" about the screed's claims in the least, and that was just one in a long line of examples of old-boys-club misogyny. It's the sort of bull★■◆● I'd expect from an MRA subreddit. A former Google employee wrote a fantastic rebutta...

My wild guess is that you are running 64-bit linux but are missing the 32-bit version of the mesa DRI library. On a debian-based distro, you would fix this by:

sudo apt-get install libgl1-mesa-dri:i386

The protesters decided to stay home and later exaggerate their event numbers in order to show solidarity with Trump's policies and his claims about his inaugural attendance.

What about the law makes using the wrong gender pronouns illegal? The argument as it is laid out so far seems to be 1) Jordan Peterson doesn't want to use some gender pronouns 2) Jordan Peterson is against the law 3) Therefore, the law makes not using some gender pronouns illegal Because I haven't r...

The most disheartening part about being a Trump supporter is what it does to you.

Jeff250

I don't like gender pronouns because, even if you're the old-fashioned type who thinks that you should be able to immediately identify someone's gender just by looking at them, there are still situations where you don't know someone's gender such as when talking about a single hypothetical person, a...

you apparently never paid attention before this one. I'm trying to throw you a bone here, because you clearly have ZERO idea how this works.

Spidey, the Super Delegate thing was put in place to avoid dominance in low-turnout races by some zealot extremist.

But, being of the female persuasion myself , even I hated Hillary's guts. It had nothing to do with her gender and everything to do with her sense of entitlement, disassociation and elitism.

If there were any misogyny in the last American presidential election- guess what? It was on the democrat side...because NO republican would have ever wanted to vote for a democrat anyway.

Jeff250

It's impossible to calculate something like whether misogyny was responsible for Hillary Clinton's defeat, especially when not everyone even agrees on its definition, but there was enough of it on this board alone for it to be impossible for you to pretend like it didn't exist.

For example, there's nothing stopping some man from dressing as a woman and sauntering into the woman's bathroom to get a peep show. Only if he's caught does it matter, because there ARE laws for that very issue, but it kind of late when someone's caught after the fact. There's typically no law pre...
