@lololulu19 said in Biden: "“It’s time we remembered that ‘We the people’ are the government.":

@storytellerd True.. a balanced budget is not realistic... but neither is pissing away $6 trillion in 3 months on PORK.

To be clear: $2T is already gone - out the door!

The other $4T are in 2 separate packages that one can only hope are "pie in the sky" numbers posited solely to come down from ... that is, I certainly hope this is just a bargaining tactic... (I want to spend $1T, so let's ask for $2T and see where we can get from there!)

BTW: It seems that @lololulu19 and I agree about something! He must be turning into a liberal!

@lololulu19 said in Scalise says he was 'shocked' when the FBI erased political motive behind GOP shooting:

@bi4smooth What a load of manure.. the FBI most certainly do not have any interest whatsoever in telemarketers.

You really don't have the mental capacity to see that I was talking about 2 different things?

For your information: the FBI doesn't investigate telemarketers, the FCC does... I don't refer the telemarketers to the FBI for prosecution, just for the fun of it!

Still, if only I'd left a clue that one might not have been related to the other... I don't know, something like: "I cannot share the details..."

I think I'll start referring to @lololulu19 as "scarecrow"....

So I'm not going to include your post here - it would make everything too lengthy... besides, people can scroll up.

Firstly, understand that macro-economics is the study of how masses of people make decisions about money. In other words, it's wildly complex and speculative!

As for the Brookings Institute's paper from 18 years ago, understand that the same Brooking Institute published other papers back then that turned out to be completely true! It's the nature of the business!

In a way, it's like the people who "predicted" that the Tampa Bay Rays would win the American League in 2020... Now that it happened, they seem like geniuses! But in Sports, we know better! They know were just lucky!

Economists (or, more correctly, Macro-Economists) are like sports bettors! (Which is something I said in my earlier post - when I said their ability to predict the future was less than weather forecasters! I'm not talking about the weather-man predicting rain today (that's actually not so hard - in weather OR economics!) ... but about the forecasts of things like "this will a really bad hurricane season" or "this will be a mild hurricane season")

So the problem we have (you and I) is that we're not arguing about the same thing... I'm not so much talking about Gov't deficits causing inflation... at least not that alone!

The problem is that people think of our economy as-if it were like a swimming pool: With only 4 people in the pool, there is plenty of room for everyone to swim, and when the water gets a little low, we can put a hose in and re-fill it.

But pools aren't that simple... some of the swimmers bring friends (now there are more swimmers, but the same amount of water)... some of the swimmers pee in the pool (meaning we need to add chemicals and add a pool filter to keep everyone healthy & free to swim)... and sometimes it rains or it gets really hot (which changes how much and how often we need to add - or remove - water to keep everyone happy).

In the case of macro-economics, people often think of it as a pool - even with the added complexities - except that our economic "pool" has to GROW (and, possibly shrink) as more (or fewer) "swimmers" enter (or exit) the economy.

In economic terms, my concern is the growth in the "Money Supply"

Think of it this way: if you consider our economy as a Monopoly game: when new players come along, if we don't ADD money to the game, eventually there's only $1 per player... and there can't be much of an "economy" because, while there may be $1 million in the "game" and 1 million players, they will not each have exactly $1! That kind of order doesn't exist in any real universe! No, some players will have $1000's, while others have $0...

Now, if you add $10k to the game for each user as they join, but not by giving it to the new user, but rather by just adding it to the "bank" (which, in Monopoly is the "money supply"), things get interesting...

Indeed, I'm going to stop here and suggest you try the following:

• Play monopoly with some of your friends, but change some things:
  Start with 1/2 the startup cash, and 1/2 the money in the bank (but leave the prices of everything else the same)... in other words, the same game with 1/2 the money supply.
• For more fun, adjust the game 1 more time: all properties are sold at auction. When you land on a property, you can purchase it for the listed price... BUT another player can offer more money for that property, and steal it from you by agreeing to pay more than you're willing to pay for it!
• Now replay that game, but start with 5x the cash to start, and 5x the amount of money in the bank!

It's not that prices go up - that's too obvious! The thing to look at is the behavior of the players! Some players will "adjust" to the fact that $1 in the last game is equivalent to just $0.20 in the earlier one... but the majority will not! They will see that they have more money and will spend "wildly" - so a property they'd only pay $350 for in the first game will be "worth" $2000 or even $3000 in the later one - because they have it! Even though mathematically the equivalent price is just $1750!

NOTE: To be useful, your players can't be told that they're playing with a reduced or expanded "money supply"... they just need to play as-is, without knowledge of the changes you've made.... like "typical" people in an economy!

@sroicram said in Novo aqui:

Alguém pode me explicar como funciona esse fórum?? Como posso estar baixando vídeos??

From translate.google.com:
Can someone explain to me how this forum works ?? How can I be downloading videos ??

So the Forum here (https://community.gaytorrent.ru) is not where you download files. That site is actually at https://www.gaytorrent.ru/

But understand that this site doesn't share porn files directly - it's more of an indirect method:

When you download a file from this site, you are downloading a TORRENT file (really... the file "extension" is .torrent!)

You then load this .torrent file into a torrent-client program (like qBitTorrent - my favorite, or uTorrent, or Deluge, or loads of other options).

That program (your Torrent Client Program) will then try to "join" you to a "torrent swarm" - or just "swarm" - that is: a group of computers downloading and uploading the same file (or collection of files). Those files would be the files described in the .torrent file.

Computers in a “swarm” transfer data between each other without the need for a central server. ... In other words, you will download the .torrent file from the site (also called the "tracker" - because it helps to "manage" -or at least identify- the other members of the swarm), but you do not download a single byte of the actual file(s) from the tracker server!

Indeed, everyone downloading a torrent is copying data directly from other users on the Internet! They are also supposed to be uploading the same torrent - that is: sharing. And people who have download all of the content already, but still upload to other members of the swarm are called seeders.

In general, for a torrent to work, there needs to be at least 1 seeder (at least 1 user with all of the contents).

Now, since you posted in Spanish, I'll re-translate my reply into Spanish:

===

Ahora, ya que publicaste en español, volveré a traducir mi respuesta al español:

Entonces, el Foro aquí (https://community.gaytorrent.ru) no es el lugar donde descarga archivos. Ese sitio está en https://www.gaytorrent.ru/

Pero comprenda que este sitio no comparte archivos pornográficos directamente, es más un método indirecto:

Cuando descarga un archivo de este sitio, está descargando un archivo TORRENT (en realidad ... ¡la "extensión" del archivo es .torrent!)

Luego carga este archivo .torrent en un programa cliente de torrent (como qBitTorrent, mi favorito, uTorrent, o Deluge, o muchas otras opciones).

Ese programa (su Programa Cliente Torrent) intentará "unirse" a usted a un "enjambre de torrent" - o simplemente "enjambre" - es decir: un grupo de computadoras descargando y cargando el mismo archivo (o colección de archivos). Esos archivos serían los archivos descritos en el archivo .torrent.

Las computadoras en un "enjambre" transfieren datos entre sí sin la necesidad de un servidor central. ... En otras palabras, descargará el archivo .torrent del sitio (también llamado "rastreador", porque ayuda a "administrar" -o al menos identificar- a los otros miembros del enjambre), pero no descargue un solo byte del archivo (s) actual (s) del servidor de seguimiento!

De hecho, ¡todos los que descargan un torrent están copiando datos directamente de otros usuarios en Internet! También se supone que están cargando el mismo torrent, es decir: compartir. Y las personas que ya han descargado todo el contenido, pero aún lo han subido a otros miembros del enjambre, se denominan sembradoras.

En general, para que un torrent funcione, debe haber al menos 1 sembrador (al menos 1 usuario con todo de los contenidos).

@storytellerd said in Biden: "“It’s time we remembered that ‘We the people’ are the government.":

@bi4smooth I would say it is doubtful that this level of spending will cause high inflation let alone hyperinflation. I find excess demand for something is rarely what causes inflation although the inflation in the '70s was from oil prices because of disruption in supply. Usually, it is just a company raising its profit margins or wall street speculating on commodities that causes inflation.

I've been waiting 20 years for high inflation and skyrocketing interest rates that economists freak out about. I haven't seen them yet. I think most economists don't know what they are talking about if I am quite honest.

I don't know what economists you talk to - I have dinner with some PhD, tenured professors from time-to-time, and I haven't heard my friends worry about inflation since the mid '90s... until the early Obama years (which they claim didn't happen because the banks "swallowed" the huge cash infusion instead of putting it "into" the economy).

Now, in my experience economics professors' prognostication skills are demonstrably worse than meteorologists

Still, while I'm not laying awake at night over it, I am making directed investments to protect myself should inflation take hold...

BTW:

• Have you looked at real estate prices lately? Here in Fla, homes sell in less than a week - for full asking price, if not higher!
• Or car prices? Dealerships are getting full sticker prices for popular new cars and trucks! People who "want a deal" are being turned away - because the next guy in the door will pay full price, and inventories are low!

@harry69
Naaah 6 inches girth is average

Girth is measured in CIRCUMFERENCE, not just measuring across...

Measure length by placing the end of the ruler/tape at the top of the penis where it juts out from the torso... where the tip is, that's the length...

Measure girth by wrapping the tape (no ruler here) around the "thickest" part of the penis. Measure 1 time around...

BTW: This is much more fun - and you wind up with higher numbers (at least I do) when you do this with someone else!!

@storytellerd said in Biden: "“It’s time we remembered that ‘We the people’ are the government.":

@lololulu19 Having a balanced budget is not a good idea right now. The federal debt is our money supply. There are specific cases you might want to reduce the money supply but just having a "balanced budget" is not one of them.

We haven't had a "balanced" budget since Clinton - and Obama's reckless spending was only outdone by Trump's! -- that is, until Biden came along...

It remains to be seen how much of Biden's wet-dream-list of spending will ever see the light of day, but you can't fault him for one thing: the bitch dreams big!

Unfortunately, as we've discussed here: while the Gov't literally can just print more money, it results in inflation pressures... and usually when that "breaks", it breaks hard...

Buckle your seatbelts, campers... if Biden and the Dems actually get -- even half -- of this wanton cash infusion into the books, we'll see inflation like we haven't seen since the 1970's!

@lololulu19 said in Simpsons recast another character:

@bi4smooth Apparently you failed to read RaphJD's post. Allow me to paraphrase it:
"He liked the show until it changed it's content including who performed the voices, the subject matter, and it's tone"

I don't think it's such a good marketing move when a LOT of people have abandoned the show because of their becoming WOKE.

Some other examples of WOKE products and entertainment which have permanently turned me off to them: Coke products; Delta; anything Disney; CNN; MSNBC; CBS; NBC; ABC; Robert De Niro; Rob Reiner; Roseanne show spinoff; The View; NBA; NFL; Facebook; Twitter; Youtube; all Hollywood movies

LOL - the recent ratings SPIKE for The Simpsons would seem to tell a different story...
NEWS FLASH - they're not after older, politically staid viewers... they're trying to "renew" their viewership with younger viewers...

But you keep wrapping yourself in that conspiracy blanket ... it seems to keep your warm and cozy at night... and that's fine by me! I just wish you'd stop trying to get me (or anyone else) to fall for the same lies...

I'm going to stop watching this thread -- and go back to my breakfast of ground up children and deep-state lies!

@lololulu19 said in Scalise says he was 'shocked' when the FBI erased political motive behind GOP shooting:

@raphjd According to the FBI... there was a loud bang during a game and someone was injured. Ho Hum.

FBI always has been dirty. They don't serve the public.. they serve their own political agendas. For instance.. there have been a couple of times several years ago when I had important information that the FBI should have investigated.. however. there is NO WAY to contact them! Impossible! The best you can do is SEND them information via snail mail, but they will not respond, nor acknowledge they even got it.

I am not permitted to share details - but you are wrong. I have personally made reports to the FBI that were investigated and resulted in criminal charges being filed.

Not only that, I routinely ask telemarketers to call me back "on my land line" - and give them the phone number of the nearby FBI Field Office and tell them to ask for "Spic"...

@jsl76 said in Which external hard drive to get?:

I think @bi4smooth nailed it, with the NAS option. I use a four-bay NAS in a RAID5 setup and love it.

That said, 2 TB of space on Google Drive is US$10/mo. If I ever used a stand-alone local drive that wasn't in a RAID array, I'd sync all the contents to a cloud service.

Funny thing about Google Drive, they don't seem to care about having copyrighted content, but they DO care if a hash match pops up on a DMCA request and you are actively sharing that content.

Suggestion to avoid that:

• Download the HandBrake tool... and re-code your movies! If you want, you can re-code them to consistent size and/or codec...

Anyway you slice it, the re-coded movie won't match anyone's hashes! DMCA just got a lot harder for them!

@raphjd said in Simpsons recast another character:

@bi4smooth

As always, you defend/praise everything liberal.

Not quite: I actually decry fake-news & wanton hyperbole.

The fact that your agenda is right-wing and that many of your posts employ BOTH tools of deception (as well as false-escalation) leads you to the false (though understandable) conclusion... simply because there is no liberal nut-job spouting fake "the world is ending" or "socialize everything" bullshit to counter you.

I am a eslf-described conservative-libertarian... and I have said so here repeatedly... your attempts to label me otherwise are crude and unwelcome, but a price I appear willing to pay... at least for now...

But I believe in truth above politics. I don't have to "win everything: totally and completely" or "crush my opponents" to get a victory... if the idea is a good one and it comes from a Democrat, Republican, Independent - or even a communist - then it's a good idea!

Mind you, a lot more good ideas come from conservative Republicans than liberal Democrats (and I've even heard a few - very few - good ideas from Trump-brainwashed-Republicans!) but what's good for America is good for America - no matter which party it comes from!

But what's "Good for America" is not a zero-sum game! What's good for America can also be good for the rest of the world, or humanity, or wildlife, or <insert something else here>!

For us to win, there doesn't have to be a loser! Sometimes there are winners and losers... but sometimes there are losers and bigger losers, and sometimes - and these are the good times - there are winners and winners!

@raphjd said in Scalise says he was 'shocked' when the FBI erased political motive behind GOP shooting:

@bi4smooth

I bet you would claim that a suicide bomber had no political motive either, that he/she simply wanted to die by "suicide by bomb".

Let's not forget, it's your fellow liberals that keep doing the murders. The woman who was shot in the face while holding her toddler son for daring to say "all lives matter", the Trump supporter who was stalked and murdered, the Patriot Prayer guy who was shot in the face by the Antifa "security" and on and on and on.................. No political terrorism in any of those because liberals can do no wrong.

Every one of those are wrong. Congratulations for another successful round of "what about"ism! You should get a gold star for your what-about efforts!

For the record:

I didn't claim the gunman who shot Scalise didn't have a political agenda (and neither did the FBI report) - only that:

• the FBI report, whose "finding" was that this attack was a "suicide by cop" - and not a plot by some terrorist organization (or a cabal of child-eating liberals!). [NOTE: the point of an FBI summary (or finding) isn't to assign blame. It is to determine what the next steps are (if any)... and by identifying the gunman's objective as "suicide by cop", the report was pointedly saying that there was no conspiracy, and no group behind this nutball. He acted alone, he's dead, and therefore no further investigation is warranted.]
• the Washington Examiner "newspaper" (sic) incorrectly (and purposefully) mis-characterized the failure to include "politics" in the findings as a removal (or oversight) of that portion of the gunman's motives... which it was not. Those parts of his actions, motives, and background were all still in the report... and, if they had included his membership in Anfifa, or Proud Boys, BLM, Oath Keepers - why THEN that would have warranted further work and would have been included in the findings.

WRT: "what about suicide bombers" - well, like most things, that would depend on the context.

• If the suicide bomber was a Democrat (that is: a member of a cabal of child-eating liberals), and the point of the bombing was to further their EVIL AGENDA TO DESTROY AMERICA, then the political leanings of the bomber would warrant further (or, ongoing) investigation.
• But if the suicide bomber was just a nutjob who wanted to take out a bunch of commies, and planned the whole thing all by him (or her) self, then no - the finding would state that fact.

Again: FINDINGS are about supporting the where do we go from here conclusions of the report, not about blame, rationale, and not even summarizing the case! Just about answering 1 basic question... and the same one I have WRT this topic:

NEXT?

https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/congress-scalise-shocked-at-fbi-erasing-political-motive-for-shooting

More proof that the FBI is dirty as fuck.

If the politics were reversed, the FBI would have called it right-wing domestic terrorism.

This is just DUMB spin - The FBI didn't remove anything from the report about the guy's political beliefs, nor the role that played in choosing his target - what the report's finding states is simply that it was his intention to die at the hands of the police by doing this... it was (by their finding) a suicide, and he wanted to take some Republicans out with him!

That finding doesn't change (or cover up) the political nature of the crime - which, counter to the implication in the reporting, has never been removed or redacted from the report... but it does make it less of a "terrorist" threat (from an organization that needs to be followed up on) and more the actions of one deranged, suicidal individual (which doesn't require ongoing investigation).
