In 2000 the stock market, bloated by earlier Fed rate cuts, started falling when the tech bubble burst. Markets bottomed out in 2002, as the Fed slashed rates. Although people hailed then-chairman Alan Greenspan as “the Maestro” for providing a so-called soft landing, in hindsight he simply replaced the dot-com bubble with a housing bubble.

When the housing bubble eventually burst, the crisis was much worse than in 2000. When Lehman Brothers failed in September 2008, it seemed as if the whole financial infrastructure was in jeopardy. And Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke followed the same playbook: cut interest rates.

When near-zero-percent interest rates did not jump-start the economy, the Fed launched a series of “quantitative easing” (QE) programs, buying unprecedented amounts of Treasurys and mortgage-backed securities. The Fed has roughly quintupled its balance sheet, going from $905 billion in early September 2008 to almost $4.5 trillion today.

[...]

At its core, the market economy is a homeostatic mechanism that self-corrects by cleansing mistakes from the system. When policy makers—in the Fed or Congress—try to spare us from all pain, they cripple that mechanism and ironically make the system vulnerable to a major crash.

Can't say I agree.

“I hate pot. I hate it even more than hard drugs. I’ve taught high school for 25 years and I hate what marijuana does to my students. It goes beyond missing homework assignments. My students become less curious when they start smoking pot. I’ve seen it time and time again. People say pot makes you more creative, but from what I’ve seen, it narrows my students' minds until they only reference the world in relation to the drug. They’ll say things like: “I went to the beach and got so high,” or “I went to a concert and got so high.” They start choosing their friends based on the drug. I hate when people say that it’s just experimenting. Because from what I’ve seen, it’s when my students stop experimenting.”

Discuss.

I'm four glasses into my bottle of scotch. Glenlivet 12, good shit.

Post your poison, Sep7.

Just curious about ads on sites -- approximately how many clicks/views equates to $1?

Personally, I've never bought anything from a sidebar or banner ad, and I was wondering how ad companies justify spending tons of money on this sort of advertising if -- and I assume I'm in the majority -- most people completely ignore them. That means a small percentage of users are basically supporting the entire site (or numerous sites), and everyone else's use of it, through their purchases. Just seems kind of weird to me.

I probably posted this in the wrong spot but I figured Cheat would notice it this way.

Take a look at yourself, are you really a fuckin man? If you don't even drop acid and you think it tastes bad, then you're a mere child. What do children do? They Bitch and complain about stuff that's too complicated for their underdeveloped bodies to handle. Acid is a fine drug and if you don't really drop acid then you're a fuckin pussy. I drop like a tab a day, LSD or the local blotter, Yellow Sunshine, because I'm a man.

She's 23, married, just an average person, but out of nowhere found a lump on her throat and found out (after weeks of testing) that she has lymphoma. The cancer is in her bone marrow, meaning it's treatable but she can never be cured. Survival rate is about 60% for 10 years. In all likelihood she'll be dead before she's 35. If she ever has kids they'll grow up mostly without a mom, and that's assuming chemo doesn't sterilize her (which it almost always does).

Not sure what to talk about. I had a friend get killed by a drunk driver somewhat recently, and now a good friend is basically succumbing slowly to a deadly disease. Share your experiences like this, good or bad.

Full dramatic story in the article. It's filled with sadness and oppression of youth, so I quoted only the actually relevant stuff.

[...]
The answers became a bit clearer on Thursday as the judge, Mark A. Ciavarella Jr., and a colleague, Michael T. Conahan, appeared in federal court in Scranton, Pa., to plead guilty to wire fraud and income tax fraud for taking more than $2.6 million in kickbacks to send teenagers to two privately run youth detention centers run by PA Child Care and a sister company, Western PA Child Care.

While prosecutors say that Judge Conahan, 56, secured contracts for the two centers to house juvenile offenders, Judge Ciavarella, 58, was the one who carried out the sentencing to keep the centers filled.

“In my entire career, I’ve never heard of anything remotely approaching this,” said Senior Judge Arthur E. Grim, who was appointed by the State Supreme Court this week to determine what should be done with the estimated 5,000 juveniles who have been sentenced by Judge Ciavarella since the scheme started in 2003. Many of them were first-time offenders and some remain in detention.

tl;dr Private prisons get to have more inmates so they bought at least two judges to send them more youth inmates than were really necessary.

But privatization of prisons is still a good idea, right?

http://www.pachamama.org/blog/how-to-identify-and-resist-cultural-appropriation

A series of steps you may follow if you wish to be more mindful about cultural appropriation:

Try to identify parts of your outfit or vocabulary that may be borrowed from other cultures and envision how a person of that culture may react to the way you are wearing or saying it.
Think about whether the piece of clothing or phrase in question is being used respectfully and is aligning with the traditions of its cultural origins.
Can what you are wearing or saying have the potential to perpetuate stereotypes that exist about a certain culture?
By following these steps, we are better fit to identify cultural appropriation and are being sensitive to and respectful of all cultures.

So just a reminder: all cultures should be separate, respect is shown by isolation and prohibiting wear of cultural symbols, and it's okay to project your feeling of insecurity onto minorities because you assume they probably feel sad about things like that.

Also, please cease wearing the following clothes immediately because they were influenced by other cultures:

Boots, ties, peacoats, bomber jackets, t-shirts, tuxedos, and 8-point caps. Those are all from foreign militaries and they deserve to be kept culturally pure. Other items from various cultures include Uggs, denim jeans, cowboy hats, ponchos, Hawaiian shirts, berets, moccasins, and eye liner. For a more complete respect of cultures, please just stop wearing clothing, listening to music, watching television, enjoying art, or partaking of drugs. Because it's your job as a white American to think carefully about what you think is offensive to others.

Some wine I guess. No scotch this week.



Post your poison. Verb, what flavor water are you drinking?

Reminds me of Battlestar Galactica.

This chick better not have a come-to-Jesus moment and join the Republic. I hope she murders Chewie and dies in flames in Ep. IX.

When adding HTML tags to format a post, they appear adjacent to each other, like [­spoiler][­/spoiler]. On mobile, it can be difficult to position the cursor between the two sets of brackets to type, and it's even worse if you have to double tap to paste some text (like a link or a quote).

To fix this, all that would need to be done is to include an indent or return after the first one, so it appears like this:
[­spoiler]
[­/spoiler]

That way we can tap to the right and easily start typing. Just thought I'd throw that out there; maybe I'm the only one that would feel convenienced by this, but if you've also been frustrated by the current format, show your support.

Link's NSFW, obviously. The video picks up around 1:45.

Observations:

• Ragdoll physics appear to be toned down; dying enemies collapse less ridiculously
• Scaled enemies appear to be more prominent than in previous games (e.g., "Legendary Feral Ghoul Roamer" alongside "Feral Ghouls".
• Enemies, at least ghouls, appear more dynamic. As the player was shooting them, sometimes they would seem to be stunned, potentially by targeting limbs. And instead of immediately dying, at least one enemy was shown crawling on the ground before being executed by the player.
• FPS play looks much more solid than F3 or NV.
• Hacking computers is extremely similar to the previous titles
• Dogmeat's commands are pretty easy, and don't require the awkward zoom-in dialog options
• VATS kill-cams look less jerky and awkward than previous titles
• What seems to be a laser shotgun looks fucking awesome

I was going through security in Phoenix and my backpack had to get hand-checked because there were heavy books that the x-ray couldn't see through. Well I had a Rubik's cube in there too because I'm learning how to solve them and I had it at a specific setup so I could practice, and when I looked at it at the gate it had been completely scrambled.

What an asshole.
