Your assumption and conclusion is incorrect based on my experience. Why do you think people with personality disorders disproportionately populate executive positions in corporations? Why are sociopaths great surgeons? Look at rates of alcoholism and suicide amongst professions, and then tell me if those rates support your conclusion that mental health issues amongst those who make money is an outlier.

I only see it as a big fuck you to the eventual democratic candidate. He splits the "progressive" side of the vote and gets the Republican elected.

How is it irrelevant? If you are going to be so dismissive, you could at least use a "because" followed by reasoning... Otherwise i will dismiss your conclusion as flawed... Because at this point it is.

Some of that isn't a choice. I know Bond traders that make millions a year, but are constantly overextended financially because, really, they are addicts. They have to take risks at all times... It's a compulsion like any other addiction.

Turmeric is the best thing for my tendonitis to almost a miraculous degree. Take that for what it is worth.

Live-Throwing Copper. It's an absolute masterpiece. Their other albums have some gems, but the rest of the discography is nowhere near the quality of TC.

Praise the sun.

Without a base... Without a trace.... Thank you jjgo!

I was raised in the city...shitty..ever since i was an iddy biddy kiddy drinking liquor out my mama's tiddy.

Technically, both gun ownership rights and abortion rights were based on supreme Court interpretation of the 2nd and 14th amendments (respectively). Given the reversal of the right to abortion under the 14th amendment, an argument could be made that a similar reversal is due for the 2nd amendment as well. The 2nd amendment could simply be interpreted to mean that gun ownership is only a right as part of a "well regulated militia.'. In my opinion, that is the plain meaning of the provision anyway, but I'm just a gun toting liberal that doesn't get sexually aroused or validated by the size of my firearm.

Children of Dune is the only one i have to grin and bear. I love Good Emperor through Chapterhouse better than Messiah and only slightly less than the original.

All Tool albums Lateralus and later.

"Bastardize" is a term of art, essentially meaning having no legal father at birth. The whole reason the state cares about preventing bastards is because they typically require more state services than non-bastardized children.

This is common. In Tennessee, a judge won't divorce you if pregnant because it would effectively bastardize the child. By statute, there is a presumption that husband is dad if wife is impregnated during marriage. You can't divorce without a parenting plan. So you have to wait until birth to rebut the parentage presumption. I had a client try to get around it by requesting a test of the amniotic fluid, but the judge wouldn't allow it because of the potential harm to the child.

Ohhh look! A welcoming party!

That's a key component of the flat earth ideology. They are idiots. Don't be an idiot.

This is great. Are you a native English speaker?

He didn't say it was good age. He simply stated what his life experience was.

Any cool new devils?
