How about you try statistics instead of personal impression? And there are not a disproportionate number of trans shooters. You are just making shit up. You also have no idea what the hormone regimen is or whether it's "massive," nor the effects of those hormones, nor really anything relevant...

This just isn't hard to figure out. The bombers will get dealt with by the legal system. The protesters will not, unless they committed a crime (some did; I imagine more didn't). The Mayor is allowed to call out the protesters' noxious views and criticize them. This whole grievance affair is...

I guess I'm too young to have ever heard of the double nickel. I didn't know that piece of slang. Now I understand the title of the classic Minutemen Album "double nickel on the dime." Going 55 on I-10. LOL.

1. I don't know how much private credit there is. Remember: the biggest issue in the housing bubble wasn't the volume of mortgages that were issued. It was all the side bets on those mortgage pools, the CDOs, CDO squareds, CDS, etc. 2. What do you mean, interest rate? The borrower doesn't...

They are facing federal charges now. That's where they will be tried. More importantly, the mayor was able to recite a factual narrative. That also makes a difference. If you just jump the gun, ram-style, here are some things that can happen: 1. You are wrong about their identities, and...

Private credit = loans made by private investment funds, like private equity or hedge funds. Public credit = corporate bonds. Bank credit = well, you know. This person is saying that the debt markets are misreading the economic situation. Everyone knows that private credit is facing...

FYI, standard financial economics says this more or less does not matter. I'm not sufficiently well versed in advanced financial economics (i.e. current leading edge models) to know what they say. Standard financial economics does a decent job explaining how irrationality doesn't undermine the...

The Mayor is not the topic of discussion and never was. You mooks brought him into it because that's what you do. The country isn't going to hell because of Mamdani. The country isn't even going to hell because of ISIS bombers. It's going to hell because people like Jake Lang have power...

I don't think those countries were going to be doing so anyway. They aren't allies.

I know people are still trying to collect judgments related to the 79 hostage incident but I thought the courts have held that its property can't be touched.

Um, the white supremacists were the first to resort to violence. They were using pepper spray and were arrested for that. Plus, white supremacists are worse. Those two bomb throwers were just that, two bomb throwers. White supremacists organize massive terror campaigns that lead to far...

Eh, pretty sure the narrative is already set. People are connecting the dots. Tariffs, oligopoly, wars, sabotage of Obamacare -- they all fit together. They see Trump mocking their affordability concerns. I don't think it will matter much if gas prices settle down by fall. People already...

1. If you weren't such a dipshit, you'd know that it's SOP for a mayor NOT to potentially poison the jury pool against a criminal defendant. So he should not have named them if he wanted to make the point that the violence was real. Plus, their ISIS ties were established during the...

Dook had few NBA stars in 2013, and a lot more flameouts. They had Boozer and Irving. But also McRoberts, Singler, Shelden Williams, etc. In 2013, Danny Green was almost finals MVP. Hans was a solid rotation player for a good team. Lawson was close to an all-star. Vince was still around...

Yeah, I just read the paper in full. I would recommend not following that Nav Toor guy. He has no idea what he is talking about. For one thing, the 48% error rate is for a specific benchmark with a specific type of query. It is not a 48% overall error rate.
