Donald Trump running for president

I'm proud of the cubs, I liked both teams. Just sad about the end of the world, nothing against the Cubs lol

I was happy for Chapman who became the happiest man on the planet last night. Hope my Yankees can steal him back next year.

As a Yankee fan I was neutral. As an AL fan I wanted Cleveland. As a baseball fan I couldn't help but want the Cubs.

The Yankees know what they're doing but in hinds sight letting go of Chapman (valid - banned for domestic violence charges - Yankees zero tolerance) and Miller made them more free agent marketable and more expensive to reaquire. We need starting pitching and and bullpen pitching and they're both very good.

They are going through the processes....its what many people expected to happen to try to stall as much as possible.

Brexit being failure is only a win for the richest most powerful of the global unelected elite and only a catastrophic failure for the future sovereignty of England.

If you say so ax1.

According to you, the USA should become divided as well then. Let's break up the states. There's no need for unity or trade deals.
 
The Brexit won't fail, even though it came about due to nationalism it will have a bunch of long term benefits economically.

The states are SUPPOSED to be broken up with 50 mini-countries governing themselves with the federal government only setting the base laws of the Constitution and Bill of rights (unlike the trillions of laws and regulations set by the EU.)

If you want to make trade deals, pick up the phone. Its not complicated.

lol it is pretty complicated. There's a huge trade deal getting blocked by Wallonia right now, causing a big stir/mess. But hey, maybe someone just needs to "pick up the phone" lol

No its not complicated at all. There is no need for an overseas big banker corporate group of unelected officials stepping in your way with their trillion page regulation book to help make these trade deals for you.

Wallonia has absolutely nothing to do with what Im talking about, they are just stuck as part of the problem which is the EU.

And that IS how it is run. Ever heard of the 10th Amendment? Most laws that affect Americans are still made at the state level.

Granted, there is more involvement of the Federal Government now than there was in the past. Most of it has to to with funding.

First, the Federal Government doesnt give a damn about the United States Constitution. 2nd, your second statement is excactly the problem but much worse and much more to do than funding. Obamacare is one example along with many other unconstitutional laws that have been tacked on for decades and decades such as the national income tax, national anti-2nd Amendment laws, Social Security....the Patriot Act and NSA, war on drugs, I can go on and on....

And the fact is all the government needs to do is declare a state of emergency and all states lose all their powers and the executive branch of each state also loses its powers under FEMA and emergency powers when the country is divided into 10 regions controlled by designated Federal Fusion centers.

Why should Wallania be subject to trade deals done by big bankers and corporate elitists that dont give a crap about them and their nation. The EU only cares about the EU, its own flag and anthem.

Wallonia, and Greece, can exit the union imo

But nope, I took my tianeptine this morning lol... and I'll admit, I post impulsively when I've had too much caffeine, which is usually around this time and again around 3-5PM daily lol

lol sounds good. I really need a stim break actually. My caffeine consumption is out of hand. I get 6 shot americanos daily, along with 1-2 cans of monster, and smaller 2-shot americanos inbetween. I let it get out of hand because of some tight deadlines I had at work while dealing with a big breakup, wasn't sleeping much. Now I'm kind of hooked on this amount of caffeine.

I've taken about 1.5 weeks off around Thanksgiving this year. Going to use the time to heal from extensive ink work I'm getting done but also plan to ween off caffeine in this time. If anyone has any tips, let me know... it's going to be rough. I plan on taking about 2-3 months off stims but weening off will be pretty tough.

I never cycle off but it sounds like your consuming much more than I am.

I would plan the break incrementally and cut back over a couple of weeks...if you go cold turkey you may get severe headaches/lethargy, I know I do.

Is there a reason you cant just give yourself a 400mg-800mg limit a day and take it from there?

That sounds good, but yeah I really need to give my adrenals a break for a while. Definitely weening down over time and then taking a long break. I've been making a point to get my sleep hygeine in check. Going to bed much earlier and getting up earlier now too. Makes me more productive at work, and by the time I show up for work, I'm wide awake. Problem is, I get headaches even when weening off. I've never actually successfully weened right off, which is why I'm going to try it over some down time from work. Just planning on staying low key in that time, not much going on.

If you get huge cravings as you cut down maybe you can get decaf shots just so you get that habitual experience part in. Keep in mind, decaf does have caffeine so if you want to be totally off dont drink decaf. Maybe you can plan to drink Postum or something else you may like in replacement so you dont lose that endulgment so your not fighting both habitual tendencies and chemicals withdrawal at the same time. Its hard to replace tasty coffee though.

Thanks. Yeah, decaf and yerba mate will become part of the weening process. I'm thinking yerba mate will replace monster for now. But you're right, nothing will replace coffee :( I'll eventually have to stop the decaf too.

I may run a keto diet (CKD) during this time because I always have plenty of steady energy on the diet.

Here's a quote from the founder of your beloved "Institute":

“”Nothing, however, is as ill founded as the assertion of the alleged equality of all members of the human race."
—Ludwig Von Mises, Liberalism, p. 28

Sounds like a nice guy :boggled:

Seems that they are anarcho-capitalists, and think that we were better off under a monarchy.

No wonder you don't believe in racism, seems like you are denying the white supremacist roots of the Mise Institute and Rothbard. See how this piece strikes you: Invalid Link Removed
 
People aren't equal, it's nothing to do with race or ethnicities.

Amen! I believe in giving everybody an equal opportunity, but every single person born equal doesn't make sense no matter how many times you say it or wish it. The everybody gets a trophy approach doesn't help anyone.

I guess I have to explain this too lol no one is equal and no one is entitled to being treated as a equal but everyone deserves equal opportunity. Rothbard didn't believe in the civil rights movement and 1st generation feminists because the route of those causes were Marxist. Again like I've said before you cannot force people to integrate, you read a article giving half the story without any logical reasoning behind it. He saw some African Americans as a threat to private property and the free market so being the radical that he was he didn't think they should have rights.

You must understand, he believed that radical actions were needed to preserve the free market. Plenty of people love to discredit him and the libertarian movement with these statements but only those who choose to not understand won't.

Praxeology was used to determine those ideas, a posteriori knowledge is gathered by experiences and observations, they can change when new data is gathered. This is how now we have determined African Americans IQ were manipulated by the environment they were raised in and back then this idea wasn't so. The woman's suffrage movement those had Marxist tendencies so I agree with that point even those some feminists were individualists/libertarians. I believe over time individual IQs can be balanced out if poverty was exterminated.
 
In layman's terms anything that had a hint of Marxism was bad and if any person(s) posed a danger to the free market they were bad.

LOL nobody in here is saying give everyone a trophy, or anything like this... I'm pretty sure it's common sense that when we speak about equality, we're talking about equal opportunity here. Fvkc sake...

How equal opportunity comes about is having a equal playing field not handing out privileges by forcing private businesses to accommodate to certain people no matter what even if it seems like the right thing to do.
