Woo!

Thanks for the info. Best of luck to Brazil for a brighter future.

Like during Black Lives Matter rallies where pallets of bricks were randomly in the middle of roads.

The dogs are brain washed to attack.

A regular person training this viciousness into a dog would be called out, if not arrested (depending on the animal cruelty laws).

No, the legal lawsuit payouts don't come from the cops, their insurance, or their pensions. The taxpayers foot the bill for the lawsuits by losing money from their city's funds.

Getting yourself involved in a local charity will do more good for the world than what a normal person's amount of money can do in any type of ETF.

I understand the moral desire to choose responsible companies.

I "interviewed" some advisors before I knew of ETFs. They asked if I had brand preferences, like Coke vs Pepsi, or McD vs Taco Bell, so that I could avoid investing in companies that I didn't like. From that I realized those types of investors just cared about getting me into any stock to turn commissions and not about my personal income growth. I was way too small to affect anything, but I could lose out on income based on my personal flavor preference.

So I would say the same about picking socially responsible ETFs. What is socially responsible is completely up to some person and will likely not align with your preferences.

And after participating in many studies in college, and just life, I've learned that at large scales, when it comes to your pocketbook, the large majority of the time, the non-ultra-rich person should assume the system will go to selfish people over good-for-the-group people.

So, unless you are investing billions and trying to create the change yourself single handedly, just choose the ETF that works best for your pocketbook.

The amount of ownership, responsibility, and promotion you get of the evil a large corporation is doing through an ETF is basically non-existent, at the average human scale.

Has life in Brazil improved since he left?

I used to see many horrible headlines about Brazil during his time, but hardly anything now.

I would think the pre-known hardware configuration would make boots near instant. I never understood why this isn't so.

I mean, I don't really want birds in my house while I'm cooking or eating... So, two birds with one Teflon?

So, cooking dead bird meat on Teflon creates more dead bird meat?

I'm pretty sure each person has personally saved weeks of time by having the connector always work the first time, because of the reversibility of the plug.

So this guy single handedly played jump rope with Trump's bored wall, and Trump's hard stance did not notice this guy at all during the first Trump term? These alleged crimes started in 2016.

Good job, Canada! (Not sarcasm)

No. When Microsoft is making the hardware, they can lock it down so nothing else can be installed. Mostly with signed boot loaders and drivers.

Remember when the PS3 actually allowed other operating system installations. Then, one day, they pushed out a new firmware that disabled that ability.

Maybe eventually someone figures out a hack. But these days, the hacks are complex enough, with many other available alternatives, that you're looking at barely dozens of people doing it.

It's the personality change of the owner. From being happy with making a crap ton of money per year to now wanting to see the profit increase 10% every year.

It's always fun when, during a work presentation to higher ups, the XBox Game Bar or its notification popup on screen from an errant key press.

Ah, so that means you don't live in Russia or North Korea. The toddler has thrown a lot of tantrums.

Sweet move!

Same old playbook.

Someone with a right wing manifesto, who attends right wing rallies, and espouses right wing points all over social media, and police records of doing similar things in the past is an isolated, troubled, lone wolf, completely out of character, who Obama should have helped.

But someone with one left wing comment somewhere is obviously part of a multinational deep state organization that has been planning this for 30 years and was instructed and trained by Obama personally.
