Oh nooo! Just a few weeks ago I was thinking he might kick the bucket soon. Damn! Why him, why not Meryl Streep? One of the few great actors who later became great directors.

Are you sure he's really gone? There was a rumor last month, but it was a hoax?
2  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Trump Name Can Be Big Brand Name In Cosmetic Or Fast Food Industry on: June 04, 2017, 11:08:40 AM
This is already happening and I'm pretty sure there are Trump branded products in some third world countries. Just like there were Hitler fireworks and waffles in some Arab country. Also in the future some fast food chain might name a sandwich for example after him. A sandwich consisting mostly of carrots lets say, cause you know, they joked about his orange skin color.

Trump himself could easily enter the fast food industry by purchasing some unsuccessful but relatively developed business and refinancing it with his own money. In fact as far as I remember he had his own stakes restaurant in New York and personally starred in the commercial, claiming his stakes were the best there is.

Their problem is they're primadonnas. Most of these men and women have made their fortune without breaking a sweat and can't appreciate the value of the money they have. They live in their made up world where what Katy Perry tweeted about your dress matters and can't look at life through the perspective of normal people. They're doomed to live their lives in delusion and I don't even think it's possible to give them a wake up call to get them back to reality.

Remember those so called stars bursting into tears when Donald Trump was elected? Those were the tears of adults who have never faced any difficulties in life and now for the first time things don't go their way. That's the kind of mentality that makes them OD on pills when their careers fall apart for example.

Do you think CoinMarketCap's owner should be taking advantage of less experienced people? Do you think the best way to educate newbies is to help them get stolen from, while getting paid by the thieves, as CoinMarketCap does? Or should CoinMarketCap have ethics?

I really think that after a certain point you are wealthy enough to stop taking every chance of making a buck. That said if I owned coinmarketcap for a week I'd probably flood the site with such scammy ads and I think nobody can blame me for it, but I suppose their owner is a multi millionaire so I don't think he is desperate for ad revenue. Big companies like Facebook or Google that have become sort of like institutions should look at the ethical side of such questions and I think coinmarketcap is big enough to start thinking about it's public image and the way it influences the community.
5  Other / Off-topic / Re: Can anyone recommend a good vpn? on: May 27, 2017, 03:06:15 PM
I can recommend Tor browser. It's free and so you can use it without cost, but some sites block access via Tor and Vpn so, you should immediately decide for what purpose you will use it. In General, remember that 100% anonymity network does not exist.

If you want something free that hides your IP look no further than Tor. However many channels are being followed by security agencies. They go as far as to set up tor nodes and channels of their own - like honeypots, or at least so I've heard. It's still a much safer option in my opinion than a free VPN like hidemyass which most certainly keeps logs and will rat you out if needed. Another bonus of Tor is it's very easy to use.

For a good VPN service I go to Nord. Great client, very comfortable, with a world map where you pick what IP you want, and there's plenty of choice. Also the connection speed doesn't drop as significantly as with free VPNs I've used.

I love dogs. This is a very intelligent animals. Usually people's own fault that the dog attacked. Unless of course you are a victim of the owner who unleashed her dog, but perhaps in this case the dog's fault. In General, any predator attacks man only when man inadvertently enters his territory.

That's exactly why people should not be allowed to have dogs in towns and cities. Towns are territory of us humans, not the dogs. They can't understand that the public sidewalk is not their territory.

When I was very little my aunt took me for a walk in a nearby park. I was climbing a tree when a dog rushed towards her barking. The owner was shouting "it only wants to play with you", well my aunt got scared and started running. Of course the dog caught up with her soon and bit her leg. Left a nasty wound and later on a scar too. Who would have guessed, the dog didn't want to play! Of course the owner said something like "She has never done that before" and then ran away, we never saw her again. How did my auntie enter the dog's territory when it doesn't even live there?

Dog owners are some of the worst people these days. Totally irresponsible and don't give a damn about their pets terrorising other people.

UFO does not mean a space craft of Aliens or a flying saucer .It can be any object that has not been identified officially..may be a missile or a stealth aircraft or a projectile

Could even be some unknown to science natural phenomenon. It's most likely some sort of UAV though. I bet even the North Koreans are popping these cheap things up like there's no tomorrow. It's possible that they've made a new one not yet known to the military analysts.
8  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Duterte's promise to get rid of drugs 29 days left on: May 24, 2017, 10:45:35 AM
Duterte promised to eliminate drug use in 6 months, Trump promised to build a wall on the Mexican border, all shockvalue promises to make yourself more likeable to the public. To be honest he could probably get rid of drug use in 6 weeks, but it would be a most ugly show to watch. If he can fulfill his promise in more time but with less violence it's always the better option, but I fear that's just not his thing.

science without religion is lame


What's the lame thing about science without religion? If there are logical science principles and laws(if you want to call them this way) behind everything in existence and these laws prove that religion is made up and untrue, then what? We'll keep obeying religion even though there's no truth to it, just so we aren't lame?

Even if science by itself is lame, then how come religion is not?

Yes 1 post is 1 activity, but you can only get 14 activity every two weeks every post more than 14 in this period won't raise your activity, which doesn't mean you should stop posting for example if you're discussing something in some very hot topic. That means you can post every day and get 1 activity a day or you can post 14 times in one day, come back in two weeks and do it again, though I don't see a point to this Cheesy

It's all very well explained in that thread about the ranks people showed you.

I'm sorry, but once the transaction is out I don't think there's anything you can do to get confirmations to come faster. You'll just have to wait for it to go through or get returned to your wallet. I'd refrain from using BTC for quick payments until they fix the issue with miners spamming the network.

I am still having doubts about whether her sex change operation was voluntary or forced. Perhaps the CIA forced Manning to take the sex change operation, to teach the whistle-blowers a lesson?

If that's the case Manning could easily sell the rights to her story to a publisher or a movie company and get filthy rich. Only has to escape to Russia first Grin

Wouldn't worry too much about BTC staying at the top. What does bitcoin have to be scared of? XRP? It's already going down massively today 17% down and that's only the beginning.

There is ton of free or leaked ebooks on how to get 50$ a day.

Yea, but I'm yet to find one that works. There's a reason they're free XD

OP have you tried the services subforum? If that doesn't suit you you can always go to deepweb, but be even more weary of getting scammed there.

The government and the military will have fossil fueled machines long after us civilians stop using them. I've already prepped a few barrels of gasoline in my basement as a long term investment for when gas prices go to the moon.
