Call me crazy but I remember a few of these exact circumstances over the years. Always passed off as an accident or suicide or something.....

So it's not just that. No stock truly exists in a vacuum. For example, you invest a ton of money into stock A and it does well. You then use stock A as collateral to buy stocks B, C, and D. Now stocks B, C, & D need stock A to stay high or they are at risk of having the loan fall apart. And then say stock C does really well, then you might use that ones value to loan/purchase stocks E, F, and G. And so on and so on.

All investment companies and most banks are like this: they don't sit on your money, they reinvest it. Some safe bets and some risky bets, all managed to hopefully balance out to net gains.

For a variety of reasons, Tesla stock has been selected as one of these safe stocks. And it's now believed that Tesla stock is involved in so many other trades and agreements and loans, etc that it can't go down. Not in a "it's physically impossible" sense, but in a "this is a house of cards and that one card is structural and the whole thing might collapse if we remove it" way. And also, because of its intertwined necessity, it keeps getting pumped by other means because the market needs growth and it's one of the "keystone" stocks.

It's a house of cards built upon gambling with the economy.

Outdated? You mean the euphemism treadmill took them over? Exactly like I'm warning about pedophile? Oh no, it's exactly what I said.

Eat shit and die.

Oh, don't worry, it's not what you think. I redefined "eat" to mean "live" because eating is how you live. "Shit" now just refers to something long. And "die" is used ironically now to mean "prosper". So really I said "love long and prosper", the words just evolved is all. You shouldn't take offense. Language evolves. It's perfectly fine to take established words and completely change them like you said.

So again, eat shit and die.

Pot of crabs.... were just a giant pot of crabs pulling each other back in.

Cool so if anything can mean whatever we want then you're a cantaloupe. I just redefined the word to mean people like you. I'm not wrong, language evolves!

Yeah, we can play these stupid games, but we just become dumber in the process.

Creep, pervert, degenerate, abuser.... The words are there. We don't need to co-opt another. All you'll do is speed up the euphemism treadmill. Once pedophile is meaningless, you'll have to come up with a whole new word to describe it and just start the process over again. But sure, have fun reinventing words that already exist because your vocabulary is so diminutive that you lack other coherent verbiage to describe how you feel.

Also, don't we deride the other side for spouting rhetoric to twist things to meet the definitions they want? So why is it ok for us to do the same? This is just the clown meme. You're following their exact playbook while wearing a red nose and poofy hair and claiming you're somehow different and superior.

Nah, you're just a bunch of gaggling morons too. Imbeciles. Mouth breathers. Mentally deficient. See how language can be fun? Look at all these insults I have available to me and not once did I resort to calling you something like a "dragon fucker" just to sound outlandish. I used accurate descriptions of your lack of mental ability and reasoning skills.

Maybe try that?

I literally read the Wikipedia article you chastised the other person for not reading. I'm sorry if facts offend you.

Eat shit troll. When the right does this it's "propaganda and reprehensible" but when you do it it's "justified by the ends". You're no better than them spouting bullshit to fit your narrative regardless of facts.

Maybe reread my comments - I can Jerry Seinfeld a disgusting pervert who takes advantage of emotionally immature and vulnerable girls. Notice how I call him out for being a piece of shit and don't lie at the same time? It's possible.

Learn more words you retard. Don't be mad at others because their vocabulary is better than yours and they can express themselves more eloquently than your backwards ass.

30 states have an unrestricted age of consent at 16. Only 7 have it at 17 and 13 have it at 18.

Maybe educate yourself before calling someone out with something blatantly proven wrong.

Yes, and due to usage, "literally" now means "figuratively", effectively diluting the word and making it useless. Plenty of us aren't pedophiles but rather pedants and autists who just want to see things be said correctly and clearly. By the new definition, an 18yo having sex with a 17yo would be a pedophile too, but does that really seem accurate?

If we start exaggerating everything then soon we will be as bad as the other side that does it for literally everything as well(am I being serious or hyperbolic with my use of "literally" here? See how it's unclear?)

Again, tiring to have to say this, but I don't support pedophiles. I just support clear, accurate language. Call it the horrible thing it is, but call it the right thing. Be accurate in your insults lest you just become "the boy who cried wolf". Use the word too carelessly and it loses its deservedly negative meaning.

Edit: For example, it would be better to call Jerry a "gross, sleazy pervert who preys on emotionally immature/vulnerable girls to take advantage of them". You can be plenty insulting, descriptive, AND accurate. "Pervert" was already right there and definitely doesn't have a positive meaning.

Second Edit: also, "local age of consent" means that in some places where the age is lower, say 13/14, it's NOT pedophilia by the new definition even if the person had delayed puberty. So some actual pedophilia wouldn't even be pedophilia with the new definition. It's an appeal to authority rather than science.

Bullshit. Most people are a paycheck from collapse and you're over here with maids, single income household, and enough disposable income to buy your kids APARTMENTS. Let me guess, after uni they will rent out said apartments and use that to fund their houses while being landlords?

You are so beyond out of touch with the common person.

Main backups are only done a few times a year. I just grabbed this years and last years for now. I would suggest multiple versions just so you can potentially cross reference and see what changed between updates. For example, what was removed can be just as informative as what was added.
