| It’s one thing to express a negative opinion of a public figure, and entirely another to fabricate things about them or to threaten them. Pretty sure you’re still not allowed to do those things within legal boundaries of speech. Slander is a civil issue. The legal remedy would be financial damages,... |

  Just stfu, resign & disappear.. better than the likely alternative, which is ending up in jail whether in the USA or Brazil. |

| Things always worked out such that it was never the right time to start for me. So I don't have such. Then again, buying my home was probably a good investment. Prolly not the right time to start right now either. Technically I could buy A home somewhere in the region if it were my goal, but it's a... |

| I've been on the phone again with the client for quite some time now. She's being bs'd and gaslighted by the contractor further.. even threatening to lien the house. (Liens are toothless without a lawsuit filed within 1 year and there's Zero proof she hasn't paid a contractor's bills so even IF they... |

| Logged into an investment account for the first time in 5+ years to have a look at what I'd avoided looking at. Figured it was worthless - yeah, pretty much. One main stock I held has been delisted. In the grand scheme of the history of the account, according to records within it, it seems I withdre... |

| A few comments on posts on this page. 1. Street level drug dealers make plenty more than minimum wage. Maybe not if they’re slanging dime bags of weed for ultra low margins, but hard drugs to a constant stream of addicts? They’re making more like a highly skilled wage in cash. Do you have any exper... |

| Could really use some answers. Like, if I choose option A, how's that going to turn out in the long run? For me, for others. And if I choose option B, how's that going to turn out? Or C/something in between, again, how's that going to turn out? With no or crystal ball, or even just a magic 8 ball, ... |

| Lunacy and murder knows no age or race. But when it comes to the method being via gun it sure knows a nationality! That sadly is true. Generally a dedicated Lefty here, but I will agree that the media is overhyping the danger guns pose to society. South Korea has a much higher suicide rate than the... |

Going to McDonald’s this afternoon - will stay and eat there maybe IF that’s where the kid wants to eat :roll: but would rather pay twice the price to eat at White Spot nearby.
