Why the frick am I getting downvoted?

Y’all act like right wing media can’t be shitty as well. OP gives zero context and only posts a screenshot of a Twitter account that also doesn’t give any context.

Y’all need to be better.

He was a Cambridge professor who has been relentlessly smeared as racist for citing Harvard's own facts. He's a serious academic and you should have zero difficulty looking him up.

I'm sure there'll be at least one or two great ones. I'm seeing them in a couple of weeks, they never disappoint. Sort of sneaky one of the greatest artists of the past 30 years and have managed to stay at least quasi-relevant with young people.

This is pretty subtle in its reference to suicide:

Why? Why are you asking this in 2026? Did you ask it in 2022? In 2018? My guess is that sometime next year you will see your answer. Although you will very likely forget it again in 2030

Thomas Jefferson's will provisioned the release/manumission of all his slaves upon his death. The executor of the will was Polish and American hero, Thad Kosciuszko. However, someone popped up to dispute the will, and it ultimately took more than 30 years to reach the SCOTUS. By that time, it was too late.

By "too late", I mean that if the slaves have been manumitted, it would have been a HUGE national story. I argue that it could have changed the course of American slavery, with the possible aversion of the Civil War - the most prominent living Virginian planter freeing his slaves.

Also the OT on Catholic View of Surrogacy: This is terrible!

I am against surrogacy, both in concept and in practice. Gays do NOT have the "right" to just bring new life into existence because they refuse to use their parts as intended.

Developmentally, nothing compares in importance to the sacred bond between the mother and the child in the first several years of the child's life. Surrogacy almost necessarily implies that life will be created and then denied this bond.

This practice should be illegal everywhere.

How were the traffic conditions where you were staying on the day of the eclipse? Were you able to drive to a better viewing location?

---

We did it from a boat, so no concern!

But I was on the ground in A Coruna earlier that day. Seemed like the locals were starting to accrue at major viewing sites 5-8 hours early, but I have no idea how traffic ultimately was.

It’s not the Beatles and even Paul McCartney would agree. It’s the beach boys. Shut down the thread

If you have a better comparison from the Beatles show me

You're confusing technical proficiency with being the best. Yes, The Beach Boys are great harmonizers. I've also always thought it was true that they are oftentimes right on the edge of sounding ridiculous.

Lennon mixed with McCartney (and sometimes with Harrison thrown in for good measure) just had "it", despite not being overly virtuosic. The answer is The Beatles and it isn't even close.

Buy the company, not the stock price.

I'm not sure what this means. The part of the company one should care about is earnings, with the stock price indicating some value relative to that number.

If you want to talk about future earnings, that's fine.

How many years is that? 50? A 3-7X in 50 years is a lousy IRR.

Current money market rates can get you a 7X over 50 years.

But in any event, it's odd to scale your expectations off of the most maximalist interpretation of Musk's statements.

This might suit your needs as an investor, but for the average person taking a look at this name, there's no way anyone could recommend it as a buy.
