^^ did you watch the video? You know what the very best evidence is? Physical evidence. Physics doesn't just stop working because you want to believe somebody cheated. Refusing to divulge the contents of personal text messages does not a guilty person make. Perhaps you should reconsider the essence of "proof." I hope you never sit in a jury.

14 yr-old genius horn-dog boy constructs a secret passage from his bedroom closet into an enormous underground sex dungeon / amusement park / private movie theater, where he keeps many many concubines for his pleasure. For some reason his parents never discover the secret passage.

@VH_Kicks, regarding the whole deflate-gate stuff, did you know that an MIT physics professor actually worked out the physics of that whole deflated ball scandal? Turns out that air pressure actually responds to temperature... who knew? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wwxXsEltyas

@Random, the same could have been said about the 10 yr yield in 2007; it hadn't changed "much" since 2002.
I think the main reason why it may be that "this time it's different" is because we're at a critical junction that will force a decision about the next major trend in interest rates. For the past 30 years or so, yields on treasuries have been in a descending channel, but now that rates are so low there's more uncertainty on whether or not the trend will continue. Previously, rates bounced back and forth between the descending channel, so if it was near the top edge of that channel then you could reasonably expect it to fall. But now, if we continue with that same trend, then yields will inevitably fall below 0. How long can interest rates be negative? And how negative can they get? The whole idea of a negative interest makes no sense, so it's questionable whether or not the trend will continue. On the flip side, a new upward trend could begin, like we had from the 60s to 1980. But those two options are EXTREMELY different economic conditions, and it's doubtful whether or not it's even possible to begin a new uptrend without financing the government's massive debt with helicopter money. It's like we're between a rock and a hard place, which probably explains why gold has been bought up so much recently.

^^ haha... not that exactly, but you’re not that far off. I have so many Excel spreadsheets and analyses, a lot of them are not even for finance stuff. Most of them are, though. You guys should really pay attention to Bitcoin... it’s coming out of its winter phase and by the middle of 2020 it could really be making big moves, up to 20k, 30k, 40k... maybe 100k by 2022.
But, being the kind of guy who makes spreadsheets... I don’t get a lot of pussy, unfortunately. Instead, I make $8k on one Bitcoin trade and then make an appointment for pussy.

^^ Let's vote in Andrew Yang.
It will be interesting to see the Conference Board's LEI this month, it was flat 2 months ago and down last month. If it's down again then we will have three major signs of a coming recession: Inverted yield curve, leading economic index going down, and major declines in tax receipts on corporate income. You just watch, that really low unemployment number is going to start to creeping upwards.

The practical reality of this theory is a little more nuanced due to the presence of business cycles, booms and busts in the market. It's not a boring roller coaster!
If a person decides to start investing at age 19, he might be lucky and begin his investing career at the bottom of the market, e.g. 2002 or 2009. But, he also might be unlucky, and begin his investing at the top of the market, e.g. 2000 or 2008.
It has been shown that the performance of your portfolio during the first few years of your investing career has a significant impact on its balance in later life.
Moral of this lesson is that it actually CAN be smarter to simply SAVE and wait to invest if you are convinced that you are at a market top. How can you tell? Use the indicators that are available. Leading Economic Indicators, CAPE ratio / PE ratio, corporate tax receipts chart, unemployment level, etc.

I don't think the main attraction for mongers in those Canadian cities is strippers... probably more about the escorts, because prostitution is practically legal there.
It is a good destination though. The USD/CAD exchange rate is pretty good, and there's not much of a language barrier because English is so prevalent. If you're more attracted to the French Canadian look than the Hispanic, then it's probably better than Tijuana.
No clubs in Canada like HK, though...

^^ kinda makes me think that maybe a restriction better than "must be 18 or older" would be "only for handicapped or non-virgins"

As far as I know, Andrew Yang is the only presidential candidate who is actually running on the promise of enacting full-blown universal basic income. Not just an expanded welfare system, a truly universal income given to every American citizen (over 18 yrs old) on a monthly basis.
Mr. Yang is debating some other candidates tonight. Let's hope one of the moderators asks a question about UBI to see how they all respond.

@Liwet, to each their own. I think Civ6 is pretty great by itself, so $18 for dozens of hours of play time seems like a sweet deal. Although, I only play single player. I’ve read that most online multiplayer is on GS, so I guess that makes sense if you’re holding out for that.

I was 25 years old. I was in bed with an escort at a hotel in Miami. She sucked my dick and I came in her mouth.

The review is terrible.
"I stopped by the other night hoping to see Olivia again..."
- Who the fuck is Olivia? If you read a book that just starting talking about some people with any description or history or context, you'd throw the book away!
"Paid my cover and took a seat in the center of the room so I would have a good view of the stage..."
- How much was the fucking cover charge?! Do you think I read reviews just to read about YOU? What the fuck? I read reviews for information, dumbass! And then you took a seat in the center of the room.... what, was there just one chair in the middle of an empty room, and stage? That's it? A chair, and a stage, in a room. Give us something! How were the seats arranged, were there any tables, were the seats comfortable, where was the bar in relation to the room, where was the bar in relation to the stage, how big was the stage, how many polls were there, how high were the ceilings, how was the lighting, how was the music, was there a DJ? So many questions, ZERO ANSWERS!
"When I ordered my drink from the waitress,"
- How much did you pay for the fucking drink, and what was the drink??! Was the waitress cute? Did she take a long time getting your drink or was it immediate service?
I could go on. But seriously, the entire review really reads as an accounting of your own personal and subjective experience. That is not what the reviews are for! I want useful information that will allow me to make an informed decision about whether or not I should go to the club!
Your review deserved the rejection that it received.

I agree. Founder, I've been making comments for several years about statistics. This site is probably sitting on a mountain of data that's just waiting to be analyzed.

If I want to get my dick sucked in a strip club or hotel, am I better off staying put here in Pennsylvania or are those opportunities in much greater abundance in Las Vegas? Which clubs?

Depends what you like. If you like big fat asses then pretty much any place will satisfy. If you like girls who are actually attractive then Delilah's is the best for that.
