I don’t understand cryptocurrency, bitcoin

Yeah I check that box too. They still bug me. Also I don’t believe you contribute to multiple charities. You don’t seem like the type. -

Wow. You really have no idea how awful you sound do you? Yes I believe that after yesterday everyone has been paid. Yes if @Engorgeous George had wanted to be paid I would have done so immediately; I offered it to him on 3 separate occasions. Yes I resisted paying to a charity instead of the person in question because charities want all your info and bug you endlessly after you make one contribution. But ultimately I did it when the guy insisted. And that disgusts you?? How in the fock is any of this your business? You could have bet me too, I challenged you and you ran away like the pu$$y you are, just like your man Donald always runs away. You don’t disgust me, but that’s because I don’t think enough about you to register that kind of emotion. I certainly haven’t spent years following you from thread to thread, obsessing enough to read your old posts, trying to find “gotchas” along the way. You’re way too pathetic to be disgusting. -

1. Do you understand it? 2. Are you ready to apologize for calling me a welcher yesterday? -
OK cops detain man during early morning walk with his son
The Real timschochet replied to Fireballer's topic in The Geek Club
Well since black people only represent about 13% of the total population that would make sense wouldn’t it? Doesn’t change my perspective. -

The Real timschochet replied to Fireballer's topic in The Geek Club
Except that I don’t believe that everyone is treated the same by police in our society. Though it doesn’t apply to this situation, what @Patented Phil was referring to is my general belief that, in many instances, black people, and young black men in particular, are treated differently and unfairly by police, leading to tragic outcomes like George Floyd. -

I didn’t open this thread until now or I would have responded earlier. It depends on the details. -

OK so let me go back to my old school understanding of economics- the reason that we use dollars as a standard is because the government of the United States guarantees their value as being based on the wealth of the United States: Every dollar, quarter, dime, etc. represents that wealth, by the solemn promise of our government. The dollar can fluctuate in value but never much because the entire world trusts that it won’t, that our production of goods will remain either relatively stable or increase. The rest of the world’s stable currencies are similarly guaranteed by their respective governments. Thats what I remember learning way back in Econ 101. But this appears to be something new? -

Here’s an explanation of Bitcoin on Wiki: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bitcoin If you can make sense out of that first paragraph more power to you. I have no clue, it all sounds like gobbledygook. The second paragraph goes on to say that it’s based on free market ideology. Well I like that; I generally believe in the free market. But then the gobbledygook starts again, and it mentions that it was created by a guy who apparently doesn’t exist? WTF? -

Massive prisoner swap with Russia achieved; our people come home; Trump is upset.
The Real timschochet replied to The Real timschochet's topic in The Geek Club
If you believe this fair enough. But I guarantee you this is not Trump’s position. Trump would have done this deal in a heartbeat. His anger is over the fact that the other guys did it. -

I think you’re wrong. But even if you were right I’d still have to take her over Trump. It’s not even a close question. But hey we’ll have 4 years to find out, right? -

I don’t think you saw the same debate with Pence that I did. She won easily. She was also excellent in the primary debates. She lost because she was unable to carve out a space for herself between Biden and Bernie Sanders. -

Yep. I was wrong to do so and I apologized to you which you graciously accepted. Had I not apologized I might be a hypocrite for making this argument. -

Here’s the problem Jerry: right now what you call “the leftie echo chamber” is encompassing most of the nation. And what you refer to as “most reasonable people” is in the minority. What you don’t seem to have picked up on yet is that the dynamics of this election have completely changed. Another point: you guys keep posting old statements by Kamala where she admittedly struggles at times to make her point. Since then she’s gotten about 1,000 times better in her delivery. Thats why none of this stuff is going to work. She’s become an extremely impressive speaker. She’s risen to the moment at hand. -

Yeah the Pueblo might be the worst example. And yes this reinforces the practice. But- and this is really the only question that matters- would that have kept you from making this trade? The answer for me is super easy- no. And it was not an easy trade to make, and shame on anyone not willing to credit or congratulate President Biden. -

I know this is the latest line. But I guarantee you that in the next few months there will be plenty of interviews. And there will be a debate if Trump shows up. What will your next lame attack be? -

But he wasn’t officially the nominee. Thats why I lost all that money. Sure I was confident. But I lost. Just as you’re losing this argument. Trump agreed to debate the nominee. No names were mentioned. Now he’s backing out. Why can’t you just admit it? -

I would agree that if it established that practice it might be a bad thing. But be honest: that has been the practice for, like, forever. There has never been any other practice. Not in my lifetime anyhow. -

Trump again fumed about this deal at his rally last night. He congratulated Putin on screwing over the USA, falsely claimed he never released anyone, and claimed he would have gotten the prisoners back without any concessions. He may be the only guy in America unhappy about this. -

I dunno man. I would have told you before yesterday there was nothing to this (and actually posted that here a few times.) But now I’m not so sure… -

And speaking of Newsweek, Kamala now leads in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Michigan- not according to one poll but several (based on average): https://www.newsweek.com/kamala-harris-leads-donald-trump-poll-swing-states-1934145 -

I suspect they will negotiate a new place to debate but it won’t be Fox. Kamala really doesn’t need to agree to anything. He’s the one that needs to debate her not the other way around. BTW, speaking of Trump’s age I’m honestly starting to wonder if there’s something wrong with him beside the usual stuff. He’s slurring words all the time now, keeps misspeaking. Last night was really embarrassing; Newsweek calls it “glitching”: https://www.newsweek.com/donald-trump-glitching-during-rally-sparks-speculation-1934276 -
Kamala Backs Out of Fox Debate: Democrats Having a Hard Time Trying to Make Her Seem Smart
The Real timschochet replied to EternalShinyAndChrome's topic in The Geek Club
The problem is my headline is true and yours is 100% false. Kamala never agreed to a Fox debate so how can she back out? Trump agreed to debate the Democratic nominee on ABC on Sept. 10 so he is backing out, HTH
