@stankdawg I do this when my wife watches football. I occasionally shout “Interception!” before the snap and I am right two or three times during the season. No one remembers the 197 wrong guesses.

@stankdawg Yes. Exactly. People shout “X is going to fail because of Y!” When Y is the meme crisis that they heard from /u/pussydestroyer2252 on /r/superstonksecrets and then they plug 15 million things into X. Then when one of them works no one remembers the 14999999 wrong guesses.

No no no. We are just spreading #doomporn. None of us have a clue what we are talking about. The fact that all of our predictions have been coming true is total coincidence.

@BakerSt1988 @sunnydayrealaf @theserfstv All I’m asking for is common sense car control. Why do they put their convenience over the lives of others? Besides, does anyone really *need* a car that travels more than 10MPH? If it saves just one life, isn’t it worth it?
English
@innismir @sunnydayrealaf @theserfstv Ah so not anything useful like hunting, just for fun. And your dumbass thinks this is comparable to cars that people actually need to travel places like their job. It’s unfortunate you prioritize your joy via guns over the lives of children ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@Horatioyuletide @sunnydayrealaf @theserfstv What’s the point of any hobby? I know people that juggle. What the point of that? Nothing. It’s a skill.

@innismir @sunnydayrealaf @theserfstv I can see the attraction tbh - they go BANG and I get the escapism of target shooting. I also see the attraction of hunting my own food. That said I'm glad I live in a country where it's restricted

@Horatioyuletide @sunnydayrealaf @theserfstv I don’t own a gun. Wife forbids it and I respect it. But I still shoot.

@sunnydayrealaf @theserfstv Each time I have fired a gun I haven’t killed anyone. Am I doing something wrong? 🤔
English
@theserfstv It's always a flawed argument because cars are built for a specific transportation purpose and the fact that they can be dangerous is a by-product of their design.
Guns do not have a purpose outside of killing something. That's the entire reason to use a gun.

@stankdawg Remember when Gundlach turned negative on municipal bonds in the early 2010s saying they were going to fail and were the next subprime loans? Good times. Good times.

Just because he “thinks” this might happen doesn’t mean this will come true. If people cannot predict the future with 100% certainty, then it must be #doomporn #sarcasm

Expect something 3x to 5x larger than 2008-2011 in terms of QE, bailouts, stimmy checks to re-inflate. "If we have a recession against this financial system, I think the Fed is going to have to act very dramatically," says Jeffrey Gundlach 🔊

@nctowncrier @BulwarkOnline @SykesCharlie Sinve you want to ban MSRs because they are on that list, would you support reducing restrictions around handguns because they aren’t?

"A majority of Republicans say that Trump either broke the law or 'engaged in unethical behavior.' Less than half think Trump 'did nothing wrong.'" Not great (for him).

Indianapolis #Colts owner Jim Irsay was asked about fully-guaranteed contracts and the #NFL: “As an owner, I do not believe in fully-guaranteed contracts. I think that a percentage is one thing, but from what I’ve seen from the NBA and baseball, I don’t see it as a positive competitively.”

In a hundred years Agatha Christie will still be widely read and you’ll be on a syllabus for a grad course no one wants to take
Joyce Carol Oates@JoyceCarolOates
Agatha Christie is not revered as a stylist, nor as a writer reflecting sociological realism; rather, her plots are clever & usually provide some sort of "twist." changing her language will hardly matter as it would in a more literary writer (Twain, Faulkner).
