    It was just bad timing on my part. I had all that money sitting on the sidelines for years waiting for a crash. I should have put much more of that money in when I did my first big buy in 2020, which made me way over-confident after getting very fast 58% returns. It's a lesson, for other...

    The Greatest Lie Ever Sold: George Floyd and the Rise of BLM (2022)

    You're the one embarrassing yourself here: Again, for the 10th time. A mobilization order would have had to been signed by the president. If he wanted National Guard from other states (which he would need to hit the 10,000 number) that requires federalizing NG from other states, which also...

    Yet when I went into 2022 with over 300k in cash, everyone here and everyone I know IRL that knows anything about money was telling me that I was fucking retarded, and then I was actually retarded by listening to them.

    The Greatest Lie Ever Sold: George Floyd and the Rise of BLM (2022)

    Again, this all misses the point. Trump has claimed: He ordered 10,000 troops but it was rejected by Nancy Pelosi - This is an obvious lie. Nancy Pelosi has no part in this process at all. He ordered 10,000 troops but it was rejected by Mayor Bowser - This is also a lie. The Secretary of the...

    You're embarrassing yourself. "“I was never given any direction or order or knew of any plans of that nature." - Miller. If there were any plans at all, it would have to go through him. Period. Also, Trump said he “suggested & offered" up to 20,000 National Guard troops be deployed...

    The Greatest Lie Ever Sold: George Floyd and the Rise of BLM (2022)

    You've missed the entire point, his own acting Secretary of Defense says he didn't request 10,000 of any National Guard troops, DC or otherwise. Trump keeps claiming he did, and that Nancy Pelosi (who isn't part of the process in any way) denied it.

    The Greatest Lie Ever Sold: George Floyd and the Rise of BLM (2022)

    He repeatedly says he ordered "10000 troops." Lately on Truth Social he says 20000 troops, because "and then we doubled it!" I guess? His acting Secretary of Defense, who he directly appointed, says it isn't true. Assuming he actually was informed enough to know the size of the DC National...

    So you're agreeing that the entire Republican narrative that Mayor Bowser and Nancy Pelosi are responsible for the fact that the 10k or 20k armed National Guard riot control (that Trump never actually requested) weren't deployed is complete and total bullshit, along with everything else they've...

    The Greatest Lie Ever Sold: George Floyd and the Rise of BLM (2022)

    You're either stupid or intentionally missing the fact that they're not authorized to have weapons or do anything. Further, only 340 troops out of 1100 were authorized, and the "QRF" mentioned is only 40 troops. This idea that Trump ordered 10000 or 20000 DC National Guard (as he has claimed)...

    WotC tried like 6-7 times to build a good digital MTG experience and finally got to MTG Arena, which is fantastic from a playing experience, and the only real limitation of the gameplay experience is that it's still limited to two players and I don't see that changing anytime soon.

    You're being fed a lot of bullshit. Trump didn't request "10000 DC National Guard" because DC only has 1100 National Guard troops, and 340 of them did get activated on January 5th to assist in a limited capacity. It requires the Secretary of the Army and the Secretary of Defense to authorize...

    You didn't read. They don't have to be armed. The "insurrection" is just an excuse to get Pence out of the Capitol, which merely requires the perimeter be breached. There was never an attempt to overthrow the government by force. The plan was obviously to take Pence to a secure location long...

    Just because you spend a lot of money doesn't mean the right shit is outputting on the right channels. It could just be that this game heavily benefits from outputting 7.1 audio to virtual surround, something you don't get on expensive DACs, but do get on comparatively junky Sound Blaster...

    Well, no, the high power ammo works a lot like the different barrels do. It has a slower rate of fire and usually a lower capacity and more recoil. The different attachments and ammos let you customize your weapons a LOT in realtime. The ammos are usually the first unlocks for a weapon...
