Uh, no. We both might eat mashed potatoes. Just because I eat the mashed potatoes with a fork and you suck them through a rotting pig intestine doesn't make it any less of mashed potatoes, but it clearly isn't a healthy or efficient method of consuming them. It is by no means the same thing.

I watched the entire 10 minute interview on Fox.
You read a zerohedge blog that included a 4 second and 3 second quote from the same interview.
 
They were mashed potato sausages in a pig casing to begin with.  I just ate them to see what they tasted like because I was curious.  
You had Zerohedge slice them open and scoop out a teaspoon of the mashed potatoes and then serve it as a side to a perfectly cooked porterhouse and a glass of Macallan 18 and now you think you know what mashed potato sausages in pig casings taste like.

I'll stop derailing this thread now, maybe we name an official 'fuck twitchyseal and his stupid opinions thread'.  apologies to OP.

Spectacular butchering of the analogy. Pot, meet kettle.

The FIFTY dollar base Hawaii piece is likely a prototype?

This would make it the rarest of the pieces you listed.  Anything above 300 dollars starts to get a little iffy as to who is actually going to be buying the ounce of silver, but 500 bucks or 500 in bitcoin or whatever for that thing is pretty much a fantastic deal.

I'm not sure about the prototype or how many were made and would probably ask the LD encyclopedia guy about it before dropping 500 bucks, but I am like 100% sure that the FIFTY-base hawaii piece is the rarest thing that you listed.

I thought it was odd I could never find any info on it. The only thing that makes me doubt this explanation is that it is numbered and it is not like number 00 or 01. I am pulling the listing for now until I hear back from Ron. If you do want to acquire it personally let me know and I will make sure you get a good deal assuming it is what you suggest. The listing price was just based on the fact that Dalas are very rare and desirable in their own right, let a lone a numbered and state hallmarked one. I will update this page when I get a reply. Thanks for the tip!

Forgot to mention I'm a podcast addict with many news related podcast subscriptions, posted a list here a few days ago.


You get any of your news from TV. That is all I need to know about your standards.

So do you.

The only difference is I watch the actual interviews on TV and you read blogs that quote snippets of the TV interview with commentary.  Why not just watch the interview and cut out the zerohedge commentary?

For example, you recently posted a link to a zerohedge blog which quoted two sentences from a Chris Wallace interview with Pences Chief of Staff on cable news.
"Trump Exposes Pelosi And Son's Ties To Ukraine-Linked Energy Group"
https://www.zerohedge.com/political/trump-exposes-pelosi-and-sons-ties-ukraine-linked-energy-group

https://i.gyazo.com/d011f7eec7fdf0da4076a026f379ff38.png

In my opinion, anything the VPs chief of staff is relevant and worth watching - the fact it's on TV doesn't mean it's fake.  There's plenty of cable news bullshit to sift through, but letting someone else sift through it for you just creates more bullshit.

Uh, no. We both might eat mashed potatoes. Just because I eat the mashed potatoes with a fork and you suck them through a rotting pig intestine doesn't make it any less of mashed potatoes, but it clearly isn't a healthy or efficient method of consuming them. It is by no means the same thing.

Also you:
I'm putting more effort into this post, and the same goes for TEC and duped in the two posts above than Duden put into that ZH 'article'.  It was obviously successful though.

As many as possible.

Where I work usually has CNN, Fox, FoxBuiness, MSNBC and CNBC on all next to each other.  If something interesting is happening we'll alternate which one gets unmuted.  In general I'm more partial to particular anchors over networks.  I prefer CNNs 7-10am anchors, MSNBCs Ari Melbur and Chris Wallace by far does the best interviews Sundays on Fox.

Anytime there's a "BOMBSHELL NYTimes, WaPo, WSJ, etc ARTICLE", I try to basically ignore the reporting and just read what the actual journalist wrote, even if it's really really long.

Also goes with any big government reports.  I try spend significantly more time reading the actual report than reporting on the report.  I read every word of the Mueller report over the course of 2 months for example.

I follow journalists I respect on Twitter. Rukmini Callimachi (@rcallimachi)  is an incredible journalist that knows a shitload about what's actually happening in the middle east.  Maggie Haberman (@maggieNYT) and Michael Schmidt (@nytmike) both have some very reliable high level White House sources, to name a few.

A bunch of Politicians on Twitter.

I check out Drudge report regularly to try and keep my personal bias in check and also go out of my way to read alt-right news sites like Breitbart and Daily Caller ,blogs like Zero Hedge and r/the_donald.  Will occasionally check out straight up Russia propaganda at RT.com and sputniknews.com

Really the only sites I just ignore are the ones that BADecker likes to post like naturalnews.com (almost entirely nonsense)


You get any of your news from TV. That is all I need to know about your standards. I like the "I am not bias" virtue signalling too. very believable.
2188  Other / Politics & Society / Re: TRUMP IMPEACHED! on: January 09, 2020, 11:55:17 PM
Trump is impeached by the house and will then go to senate for trial.

This is a fact.

And this is good. Why? Because it shows the common people that the House Dems are corrupt. After all, the only reason they are impeaching Trump - the best President since Reagan - is because Trump is cleaning up the corruption.

Cool

No one can ever clean the corruption. Once you kick them out, there will always be someone who will do it and replace their king. It's like a gang of drug lords. Governments always think they score high when they kill or arrest the most influential drug lord, but it's not like that. Someone will always sit in the highest chair.

There are scales of corruption. You might have a drug dealer on your block. Maybe they sell dime bags to teenagers. Maybe they sell Fentanyl laced heroin to kids. Are they the same? I don't think so. Corruption is like a jungle of vines, you can only really cut a path through it, and it must be maintained or else you will have to start over again. This maintenance has been lacking for some time, and we are getting dangerously close to transforming from a high trust society to a low trust society, and that takes entire generations to repair.

I don't know the guy so I looked him up. I wouldn't be surprised now if this is true.

Funny though I ran the name through Google and top results are all Fox while in DuckDuckGoGo it's just some sites like MIT's. It seems MSM is not worried about some academic/journalist getting hacked and not writing about it. 

Front page of Mediate, cernovich.com, zerohedge, breitbart, theblaze, daiilycaller and dedicated thread on bitcointalk...must be a slow news week.

Oh come on, there's a looming war and more hardship in 2020, let people have some fun.  Grin

Little known fact, they call him TwitchySeal because every time some one has ideas from sources he doesn't agree with he has a compulsive uncontrollable facial twitch until he can confirm his bias again.

I prefer Zero Hedge just because I enjoy reminding people it is an aggregator every time they try to criticize it as a source while totally ignoring the content. I hear a lot of people around here prefer eating their own vomit and then reporting on it as they spew it out, but I am not a fan.
Pretty much all your zero hedge links are blog posts written by 'Tyler Durden', the a pseudonym for the anonymous conspiracy theory/alt-right bloggers who work for zerohedge. (their true identity was revealed a few years ago)

Also, when I go to zerohedge.com the primary content is a list of Tyler Durdens 20 most recent blog posts.  Of those blog posts, 5 of them give credit to an author other than Tyler Durden.  It appears the other 15 blogs are written by the owner/founder of zerohedge.

zerohedge is an alt right/financial blog

If you're interested in what a news aggregator looks like, check out DrudgeReport.


The thread is called "What news sources do ya guys use?" not "TwittySeal Obsessively Beats His Wienerschnitzel Over Others Having The Audacity To Not Have The Same Opinions As His."

I thought "the a pseudonym" was Duden... make up your mind. "Pretty much all" of your generalizations are fucking bullshit. You remind me of those teachers in the 90's who would always say "the internet is not a valid source" regardless of who actually published it on the internet. The internet had valid sources even back then, but much like those teachers you are incapable of differentiating the value of anything you are not trained to accept.

At the very sound of the words "Zero Hedge" in your mind, like the sound of a bell, you are triggered to froth at the mouth by the mere existence of ideas outside of your bubble of confirmation bias. Knowing full well you would never be able to defend the ideas you have, challenged by the words contained within this venue of free thought, your only strategy is a blanket dismissal of everything contained within it to protect your precious and comforting confirmation bias.

Also, just for reference these are the current references on the Zero Hedge front page first 10 articles:

1. Reuters, Sky News Arabia, Fox News
2. Paul Krugman (direct source)
3. Reuters
4. Eric Margolis (author)
5. Bloomberg
6. The Guardian
7. the San Diego Union Tribune
8. Adil Abdul-Mahdi (direct source), The Saudi Gazette, Fort Russ News, Bloomberg, Egypt Today
8. The Baltic Dry Index, analyst Karel Mercx (direct source)
9. The New York Times, Business Insider, Stripes, The Nation, CNBC, Quartz, CBS News, Tom Dispatch, The Hill, CNN, Telegraph, Forbes, Politico, The Guardian, Washington Post, L.A. Times
10. NY Fed Repo Operations, Fed Liquidity Injections, Curvature Securities


What a filthy den of lunatics and conspiracy theories! Everyone go back to the controlled opposition Drudge Report! Not everyone has figured out Drudge doesn't control it anymore yet!

P.S. don't start emulating Twatler and Nutilduuuhhh with their pathological need to silence people who don't agree with them. Requiring the purging of ideas you don't approve of is mental illness. Unlike them, you have the ability to make a logical retort that doesn't rely on operant conditioning or social shaming, thus you don't require a means to silence any critical words spoken in your presence. You still have a choice to not be an angry impotent little girl taking her ball and going home to talk with it safe in her closet of confirmation bias.

The winner gets free loaded notes though?  Free contests are bad  Huh

Please read the op.

I have.  He is offering the winner a set of notes and the possibility to even be on the product itself.  Am I missing something?  I dont think the OP is devious. 

In the small little niche we sit in here I support possibly introducing our market to people who otherwise wouldn't see us here.

If an artist doesnt feel a set of these loaded notes is worth their time then they dont have to do it, right?  All contests are time driven, resource dependent in some way this is no different  Huh

Its not a free contest, it is dirt cheap/free labor and is destructive to the design workers. Don't participate in speculative work. If your boss says come to work tomorrow, but only one of you and your coworkers got paid, how long would you show up? This method is exploitative.
