do you eat horse bacon?

You had my interest, now you have my attention.

I have never tried it but now I don't know if I can hold out another day without knowing the taste... Is it good?

My first visit to Japan, co-workers took me out for a proper night of Japanese co-worker carousing. Was enjoying plenty yummy foods, along with the free-flowing beers, sakes, and highballs. I think they got on a wink-wink tack of 'freak out the foreigner'. Food got odder and odder. No problem. At horse sushi, several others begged off.

Wasn't bad at all. Must have been colt.
Horse sushi was interesting. The meat part was nice, the fat wasn't my thing. Raw chicken was surprisingly good too. And tuna with raw egg yolk. Was grossed out at first then got addicted to the latter.

Not sure I could get into all those grilled intestines though.

If you like your bacon soft, like ham I’m going to have to suggest the feds confiscate your computer & check your hard drive for child porn. I don’t trust anybody who likes their bacon soft. Definite weirdo sign!

I did always hate the FAT on meat especially with bacon, and those that eat it grows ....
I used to hate fat and always cut it off everywhere. But that was until I found out that fat isn't supposed to be a chewy rubbery piece of shit and can be juicy and tender.

Wait. Are people who like soft bacon better or worse than people who do not like bacon at all?
Better. There are places for soft bacon. Especially when they're thick chunks in a strong broth.

Bacon strips however must be crispy.

I like how you ignored me with a nice long response full of virtue signaling. Good going smart one. Stupid is to think Japan and its ridiculous money printing hasnt had terrible consequences for the birth rate of the nation. Having all your women in pantsuits and pursuing careers instead of giving birth can be awesome for the economy for a little while, but then demographics kick in and you have a nation of retired old people with no kids.

https://i.imgur.com/2q4jzUx.png

If the blowjob jokes got you butthurt then maybe lighten up a bit, its not that serious.  Wink

You are only showing how little you know about Japan.   It has been insanely hard for most women in Japan to work more than a few years and that is still mostly true.   The declining birthrate isn't from woman working in Japan.   The workplace in Japan is only slowly opening up to women.   While there have always been some career women in Japan, on a percent basis it has been very low.  Most women only work a few years at most and stop as soon as they marry.  

In fact the declining birthrate in Japan shows the failure of sexism in the modern world.

PS. No butthurt here ... the vulgar comments only show extremely low IQs.   
People like you are why I quit Economics and left for places with substance. I can't thank you enough.

As someone that has some macro economics background and who is also married to a Japanese woman I'm going to ignore the profound stupidity presented in this thread.  

You completely ignored the fact (as I mention in my post above) that in a vacuum, if you allocate 50% of the resources to men and 50% to women, the male group is always going to vastly outperform the female group to the point where you can almost consider women holding any resources at all malinvestment for a civilization that's trying to compete against other civilizations.  Then factor in women have no interest in marrying men who are poorer than they are and you're self destructing your own civilization on purpose by trying to artificially rig some 'equitable' outcome.

I'm pretty sure you couldn't even pass a typical Japanese high school math entrance exam.   That isn't that high of a bar either.   It is a profoundly sad truth that idiots don't know they are idiots. 
You might want to be very very careful with your assertion if all you can and feel like doing is throwing around personal attacks.

We joke about "economics backgrounds" in the same manner you just did by the way.

Economics is one of the biggest Dunning Kruger circle jerks humanity has brought forth so far. Your Nobel prizes are sub-sections of individual questions in multi-question weekly undergraduate assignments in real sciences.


Of course there are some, very few, Economists that are worth their salt. But they're so rare that they might as well be unicorns.

OT: Coming at ya from the "omg-really-you-don't-say" department.   Roll Eyes Roll Eyes

The stock market would be much lower if it weren’t for companies buying back their own shares
https://www.cnbc.com/2019/05/25/the-stock-market-would-be-much-lower-if-it-werent-for-companies-buying-back-their-own-shares.html




Well to be fair a majority of every day stock buyers have zero fucking clue how the market works.
This hinges on the premise that the lack in demand through buy-backs would not lead to an increased demand due to the lower prices.

Article sounds like FUD aimed to further stress that "the stock market is due for a correction".

Wonder how much of this apparent incompetence in "research" and reporting is coordinated.

I'm exaggerating a little of course. But $1m used to be "retire money". Now it's at best "you better watch out and don't become complacent" money in many places.


Of course one shouldn't forget the standards of living. Even in a "shithole" the food is worlds better than what kings used to dine on. I wouldn't want to live in any time preceding ours, regardless of money or status.

Ah, it's a number that I got in a calculation (for a projected scenario), not a coin that I may or may not have.

TL;DR: too high a price of bitcoin (in the multiple millions) will result in a drastic increase in global millionaire numbers (if hodlers do not sell en masse), which is unlikely, therefore the price in the multiple millions is unlikely.
My calculated upper bound price of btc that does not affect the total number of millionaires too much is about $1mil/btc.
You are missing a number of factors. There will be the first trillionaire not too long from now. The global population is steadily increasing. Global economy growing. Inflation isn't going to stop anytime soon. To name a few.

It's a given that the number of millionaires will grow by an order of magnitude within our lifetime. Heck, what even is a million these days? Unless you move to a shithole, or resign to a very modest life you won't really be getting anywhere.


How much of that money will land in Bitcoin is another story. But "too many millionaires" is not an argument against it. I don't see multi-million BTC as implausible in 2030-2050 and certainly not beyond.

It is BEST that we can do it alone! After this, you will become a higher level than yourself, and you will find that with your problems, you will always have to remain alone (this is a fact), but you will already be ready for this!
I think so.

Personally I find human beings a pain up the arse in all circumstances and if I was feeling down in the dumps the last thing I'd want is one sat in front of me attempting to empathise. I'd kick their head down the toilet and go off somewhere to be on my own.

Most people do not feel that way and that's fine.
I'm between LFC and you on this one. When I was depressed I'd very much prefer being alone. But when people appeared around me they wouldn't be able to tell.

Although I'm not sure if the situation would change if I was forced to be around people constantly with no means of retreat.
112  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: May 24, 2019, 05:33:29 AM
The price is about $3k higher than it should be at this part of the cycle.   We are already higher than what the December 2019 peak should be. It’s all gravy.



Am I the only one kind of wishing their lives away until a point in the future, probably late 2021 or something?
Doubt it. I've been wanting a fast forward button for a while.

Although it's probably best that we don't have one, at least for as long as our life spans are limited.

Just imagine a bunch of people racing towards the end. Roll Eyes

On a semi serious note..just talking about things can be helpful for some. Hope you feel better soon.

I already do feel like a bit of a load is off, and seeing Bob and LFC open up first helped. I just need a more positive outlook I think.
You can actually "reprogram" yourself in away you want. It takes forever and it sounds cliche and feels retarded, but it works.

Brain constantly creates random thoughts based on your past, it's up to you to choose which you focus on or if you want to add others. What you focus on becomes a feedback loop that eventually turns "real".

I think the basic mechanism is the brain not wanting to do anything new actively, since that's expensive. To combat that it'll try to tell you that you "can't do it", "it's stupid", "pointless", "cringe", whatever it can throw at you so it can just keep the same old program on repeat.

Possibly also why people sometimes have to hit rock bottom only to then miraculously change.

Or why people believe that hyperwaves apply to everything because they already worked in the past.


Also, I'm not sure if depression is actually bad. It might be a mechanism that is supposed to get us to stop doing what isn't working and seek out new solutions.


Just random SOMA that may or may not be accurate. If I had to bet on it I would say it is to some degree, but I'm no neuroperson so I don't really know either way.


Anyway, best wishes.

Fast forward 2021: trillion

I think that’s a real possibility
Only if USD has crashed insanely, 1btc being a trillion would be chaotic. Anyone who has done a faucet would be wealthy.
$1 Trillion market cap is like $70k per coin or something, too lazy to get the exact number.

Just a random observation:

This hour (4 PM Manila, 4 AM New York, 9 AM London) seems to be when its the quietest in this thread.

Europe is still waking up, the late night owls and early risers are all asleep in America...

Things are in full swing across the Asian continent, where there aren't many English speakers, and then of course Oceania, where we seemingly don't have any WO representatives (maybe bones if I'm not mistaken).

See? That was a solid half hour between posts. Nuts.

OK time to stop procrastinating and do my goddamned work.
Actually I am a not English speaking European, bored at work and bored in this slow thread!

go back to work lazy Spagetti Fresser says the Stechschritt Nazi!  Grin

Ahah why that? You (ze germanz) are going to pay my debt in the end in this flawed EU!


I don't pay anything for you I'm official poor on FIAT like you.  Wink
You pay indirectly by just living in Europe.

I've been browsing jobs out of pure boredom and possibly a tiny bit of FOMO. And for the exact same position I would earn around four times as much in the US in gross salary. With net salary the gap widens even further, in favour of the US.
Even if I'd take a $1000 per month health care plan I'd still come out more than 3.5x ahead in the US. Down to 2.5~3x if I picked an apartment close to the company in a place like California. This number at least doubles to triples further for countries that are not the UK, Germany, France etc.

It's no wonder that Europe lags behind in every regard when it punishes entrepreneurs and employees so hard for ambition that the only sensible financial move to make is leaving Europe to its demise. Good thing for Europe that most scientists don't care about their real value and work for slave wages that don't match their skill, otherwise there would be nothing left here.

But we don't have a retard like Trump as our POTUS and much less other retards with private weapons at home.
Grin
We have other retards as "leaders", not like those sock puppets matter. And I'd take Trump over 25-30% the income any day of the week. Not even a decade of that and you can retire in some cheap country off of the difference alone.

And as far as guns go, people are getting stabbed and shot left and right in the UK. Which begs the question.
