Wall Street wonders how much pain Trump will accept for the economy

He'll accept any amount of pain, unless he's the one feeling it.

Thank you.

Ah ok, thanks.

Where I'm from a lock in is a pub illegally serving drinkers after time by locking the doors.

👍

What does 'lock in' mean in this situation?

Yours faithfully,

a confused Brit.

Precisely. 🙂

Whoever owns the fountains owns the money.

If someone throws money into a fountain and then wishes then that in itself is a complete transaction with whichever supernatural entity is being bargained with.

I am assuming that any entity which is powerful enough to grant wishes is also powerful enough to hang onto the money if that should be its wish.

Alternatively it's a quaint custom that people engage in as a form of custom and the pleasure comes with a link to the tradition.

The periodic clearing out of the fountains is both necessary maintenance and a form of income that pays for said maintenance. No one is really harmed by this.

And it's not even the fifth weirdest thing you'll see on the internet today.

I know, impressive effort.

Turns out this is false, the actual story is much better: https://www.vice.com/en/article/chinese-woman-fake-russian-history-wikipedia/

Amazing!

But only if you really mean it.

Good, for everyone involved. I do wish people would stop with the performative jealousy because Hollywood has taught them to think that way.

The police have, however, claimed that the woman was having an affair with another person and was beaten up by him and his family members.

That's the same fucking crime you uniformed dunces!

General Zod: I like the globe...

What ever happened to him?

Well, he pulled it on Rorschach, and Rorschach dropped him down an elevator shaft.

The butter won't make him fat but the pasta will.

Letter from Charles Darwin to Asa Gray (22nd May 1860)

With respect to the theological view of the question; this is always painful to me.— I am bewildered.— I had no intention to write atheistically. But I own that I cannot see, as plainly as others do, & as I shd wish to do, evidence of design & beneficence on all sides of us. There seems to me too much misery in the world. I cannot persuade myself that a beneficent & omnipotent God would have designedly created the Ichneumonidæ with the express intention of their feeding within the living bodies of caterpillars, or that a cat should play with mice.
