It's kind of hard to come up with things that all women want. For men it is easy - we all want sex - it is on our minds 24/7 and it drives a man's thought processes and long-term decisions every day.

For women it is a bit more complicated, but I think the biggest thing is to be wanted by men. Kind of like men boast about getting as many girls as possible, for women it would be an achievement to have as many guys going crazy over you.

Not very exciting matches happening today but with this World Cup you never know, there may be surprises.

Nice stats...lets hope its not a pump

Ofc its a pump. Every single coin that goes up this rapidly is being pumped, which also means it is going to get dumped. It doesn't matter if the coin is great like Veri or Monero - it is still going to get dumped after a few days / a week. Of course the price will rise some time after the dump, but it will first get dumped and forgotten for a while, until there's new news about the coin or somebody decides to pump it again. Unfortunately that's the way things work in the altcoin market.

Lost, best tv show ever made
then breaking bad, dexter (first 4 seasons), prison break (season 1 only)

the finale for lost sorely disappointed me.. and dexter too. i'm probably not in the minority here. dexter was bad after season 4, cuz they changed producers.

Lol yeah Dexter took a nose dive after they changed the writers/producers. In my mind the show basically ended at season 4. I can't believe they ruined it so badly. Lost also reduced in quality after season 3, but it wasn't nearly as bad as Dexter. Either way though, I don't think I will ever rewatch these shows even though I love them, because the finales kinda ruin the whole story.
185  Other / Off-topic / What is the thinking behind bailouts of large coprorations? on: June 25, 2014, 04:19:44 AM
So I looked at this list http://projects.propublica.org/bailout/list  and it looks pretty insane - 611 billion dollars total in bailout money for large corporations in the US. I'm assuming most of that is taxpayer money.

All I really know about the bailouts is that everyone seems to be very upset about them. And on the surface level I agree, why would failing companies be kept afloat by taxpayer money? The whole point of capitalism is that competition will make the best companies survive, and the ones that aren't up to the task are cut. But I'm not an economist and I don't know enough about this. What is the explanation behind the bailouts? Are they actually a good thing for the public and the economy? Why or why not?

Ugh, isn't Forbes allowing almost anyone to post articles on their website? I think most of us think that this really matters because the name Forbes has so much weight and reputation behind it, but I'm pretty sure this is just a random contributing article, not someone actually working for Forbes.

Bitcoin doesn't need to do anything except wait for the existing financial systems to fail once again. Greed and corruption will cause another USD crash because nobody in governments has any balls left to clean it up. And I think the next crash is going to be worse than the 08 one, because it doesn't look we really learned anything from it - none of the scumbags that caused and played a role in it went to jail, and large companies were bailed out. Bitcoin and cryptos may not become the next world currency until far into the future, but with every year we are growing as a very attractive option for people who are tired of the corruption and ineptitude of the mainstream system.

Cryptonote (Monero, Boolberry, etc) / Vericoin are just starting to heat up. Still time to get in before they cross over into 0.01+ territory.

Sold +50K VRC for 0,4 BTC a month ago  Cry

Poor decision, this coin has as much potential as Monero, which is up to 0.01 almost. It is still dirt cheap right now, I'd imagine Veri price by end of year to hover around 0.01 if the Devs continue being as active.

Spain decided to finally show up in a match that no longer matters. Too bad :/ but like Xavi Alonso said, they didn't have the mental and physical form to win the Cup with the same team from before.

Don't know if this one been mentioned yet, but I just saw arguably the greatest action movie ever - The Raid 2. If you saw the first one, it's more of the same but with a good story and even crazier fight sequences.

This movie is completely below the radar of most people because it's made in Indonesia, but it's an action masterpiece.

WOW what the hell is going on! What a late goal.

edit: Portugal is officially still alive in group stage. What a dramatic ending.

Ronaldo looking so disappointed with his performance. Shaking his head and muttering to himself after every failed shot on goal.

So apparently Clint Dempsey has a Rap Album coming out. I think a lot of people will buy it now that he literally took USA past group stage.

Jesus that was total rape. Complete failure of Portuguese defense.

Wow the curve on that ball. The keeper was totally unprepared for it to go in the net.

Boom! 1:0 Portugal. Things looking good early on for Portugal. I just hope Ronaldo scores a few.

Mark Karpeles is laughing straight to the bank. And it does look like he will get away with it.

The War on Drugs (and not just in the US, although that is the worst-case example) is a giant joke of the dying beliefs of a conservative society. It is going to end soon, but the thing that upsets me the most is that nobody will go to jail - particularly the private prison industry that makes millions if not billions off this joke of a policy. Just like Chenney, the biggest criminal in the US government is still living lavishly after his role in Iraq.
