I mean, you're just replacing one archaic symbol with another.

I'm not even sure that comment really rises to the level of a counter arguement.

People have been around a lot longer than atomic bombs.

The fact that there continue to be humans.

I mean, the government could run at a surplus and therefore not need to borrow money and start paying back the loans.

Its not really a ponzi scheme, but more that the US government has decided that it'd rather increase its debt rather than reduce spending.

As to OPs question. I think he's referring to taxes and government benefits, but is discounting the fact that taxes are not the only source of money for the government, through bonds the government accrues debts that can exceed the amount collected in taxes.

Cause the issue isn't how people are represented, but that money means more representation. Doesn't matter if it was straight democracy or democratic republic, it ain't really either if people with money get more representation.

I had someone swear to me that Github templating was better, but I've only worked with Gitlabs templates. Why do you like Gitlab over Github?

Yeah, people always seem to forget that it's about what you can purchase, not the $ amount. Similar to living in a city vs a rural area, the cost of food/housing varies widely even in the same country.

Once you get into non-standard investments (so not stocks/etfs/CDs/etc.) things get a lot murkier a lot quicker. At some point you are just trusting some person with a lot of money. I mean look at Bernie Maddoff, he was just some guy promising a return on investments.

Yeah, I think this one falls squarely on the guy literally eating pounds of fiber.

If you have specific games in mind you can check out this site emuready.com. That let's you filter by device or cpu to see how well games play, sorta like ProtonDB for Linux emulation.

I think the biggest issue is, are you looking sub $200 before shipping+tax or after. For example I think the Retroid Pocket 5 is supposed to handle gamcube pretty well, but thats $200 just for the device.

I mean, there is definitely something wrong with Trump, he's almost 80.

I guess you could argue that what's wrong with him doesn't affect his ability to lead, but personally he hasn't been mentally fit to lead for a long time now.

I looked it up out of curiosity, basically someone ate (as in it was soo much that it wasn't drinkable) a ton of drink powder metamucil that it caused an impacted bowel.

While taking additional fiber without talking to a doctor may not be the best plan, that's a large step away from chugging fiber and taking well over the recommended dose.
