Are we just going to ignore all the jobs that were lost when the economy crashed? Not just in the U.S. either.

All because there was an inordinate amount of really bad housing loans that banks KNEW were bad, and just continued to give the loans out.

If you’d like to learn more about this, Inside Job is a great documentary about this.

What are the odds of incoming drama in this post about tankies? I’ll say -110.

I like it. Still has some classic glitches, enemies jumping high into the air after you kill them, grabbing weapons out of a locked container because part of the gun was sticking was sticking out, you know, Bethesda things.

I found that it looks really blurry if I don’t have it on Ultra settings, that’s my only real complaint.

When I worked at Taco Bell in high school, if we ran out of sauce it always damn near started a war.

Sorry, customers, I’m not in charge of the shipments!

This news article doesn’t have the dates announced, but bloomberg does.

I didn’t want to post something with a paywall.

Update: I have now learned about archiving, the correct article is posted

There have been concerns of a real estate crash in China for several years, with different problems than the potential real estate crash that could happen here in the United States.

That being said, China “on the edge” is certainly a title meant to get you to click on the link. Economies wax and wane, after all.

This is the next Black Mirror episode for sure

I am absolutely not, you can trust me.

On a completely unrelated note, do you know where I can get schematics for 3-D-printed guns?

What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I’m the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You’re fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You’re fucking dead, kiddo.

We’ve just had more information come out, and it appears you’re right about the rushing! I’ll eat crow on that

I’m trying to have a discussion about innovation in space, something that goes beyond Russia, and has a clear history.

Sorry I didn’t bag on Russia enough, I thought you guys were doing a good enough job of that already without me

What? It clearly states in the article they knew it was risky… I would consider that rushing.

Glad it was unmanned. There’s enough senseless death in the world.

If you take a look at the lunar missions for space race, you’ll see many of them happened within a year of each other. It’s a wonder there weren’t more failures!

Compare that to today, where it took almost 20 years of planning for the Hubble telescope to come into fruition.

You shouldn’t rush things in space. This is just the latest reminder.

The Bronze Age Collapse, Fall of civilizations podcast does an excellent job going in depth about it.

I’m never eating oysters again

Thank you for the context!

I don’t even like IPhones, but aren’t they one of the most private?
