captainOrbital posted:So, what y'all are saying is that if one notices a crash starting to happen, it can be up to 16 hours before you manage to sell off your hoard, and that when you initiate an order to sell you have no idea how much money you will have by the time the order is actually processed? Oh no. The exchange can also halt all transactions (as they always have historically), leaving yours to languish mid-transaction until it goes through 24 to 72 hours later selling 60% down from when you first initiated it.

Sarcopenia posted:I think he means that the school shooter was bullied which I still can't find any real evidence of (he made death threats towards other students as early as middleschool and the school seemed to bend over backwards to help him with his issues even though they all seemed terrified of him) but that's what people always say about school shooters though it's very rarely true. I'll bet that all of those people attacking the students would not have liked it if their kid befriended and brought home that weirdo, loner kid who constantly threatens people because he doesn't understand human emotions. I would have added incredibly racist and homophobic but I suspect that these people don't mind that. Nah. That's in reference to the "apology" Laura Ingraham made because advertisers were leaving her show.

Skwirl posted:Who is Popehat? I watched the video but didn't read the thread. Is he a lawyer who is really good at copyright law? Popehat is a blog run by a collection of lawyers. Chief hat-wearer is Ken White, who is a former federal prosecutor and a criminal defense attorney. He has a special hatred for bullies online.They do a ton of pro bono work, or put out a call for lawyers to pro bono work (or steeply discounted) for people who are being targeted by bullies on the Internet. If you catch Ken's attention and he puts up the batsignal, that means you're about to get assistance from some VERY qualified (and sarcastically scathing) lawyers. Popehat got immensely popular during the Oatmeal v. Funyjunk feud, when he and Charles Carreon started fighting online. It was like fighting a toddler for Ken W and it was glorious to watch unfold because it all was blogged and commented on Popehat. https://www.popehat.com/2012/06/13/how-dare-you-thats-the-wrong-kind-of-bullying/ quote:The most astonishing thing about Charles Carreon — the attorney whose ill-considered threat is at the heart of the Oatmeal/FunnyJunk debacle I wrote about yesterday — is that the man markets himself as an internet lawyer.

John Podesta was invited to art stuff by weirdo artist Marina Abramovic that other people falsely claimed was a Satanic cannibal ritual, therefore John Podesta must be involved in this child sex ring! And it also inspired an self-styled “investigator” to show up at the pizza place everyone says houses this pedo-ring with a rifle. And shoot said rifle in the pizzeria. https://www.nytimes.com/2016/12/05/us/pizzagate-comet-ping-pong-edgar-maddison-welch.html quote:The man, Edgar M. Welch, 28, of Salisbury, N.C., told the police that he had come to the restaurant, Comet Ping Pong, in northwest Washington, to “self-investigate” what is being called Pizzagate, an online conspiracy theory asserting, with no evidence, that the restaurant is somehow tied to a child abuse ring. He entered the restaurant shortly before 3 p.m. with a rifle and fired it at least once inside, the police said.

Deceitful Penguin posted:Is not being a loving moron about radical feminism a gimmick these days? No, it’s about you being a moron regarding the argument being presented. It’s not that TERFs are committing actual physical violence on trans-women. It’s about them adding to the normalization of trans-women not being women. It’s regressive and it reinforces the big blinking target that’s already painted on trans-people. Proteus Jones has a new favorite as of 02:24 on Jun 2, 2018 |

No not that one, that one is for deer. I mean your clown hunting license. OK, looks valid. Just remember you can only bag 3 clowns per season.

Memento posted:Is the polio vaccine still a teaspoon full of vial pink liquid? A girl in my high school threw up after they gave us that one. She had to take it again, because they couldn't be sure she still had enough of it in her system. Kept it down the second time. That would be OPV which is a vaccine based on attenuated polio vaccine. It's considered a superior method to IPV because it didn't require sterile syringes which made it easier to distribute and administer.

Yes they did. It’s also why the courts have said he cannot block anyone on Twitter since it violates their 1st amendments rights of being able to engage POTUS in dialog and criticism on a public venue (the argument being, since Trump has used his account to make official statements he’s turned it into a de facto public venue).
