it would be very tempting to me, to turn the car over to the slowmow guys for general slow-motion abuse.

unless I could convince mythbusters to get back together for something fun.

I stand by my assumption that it’s all based on who gives the best blowjob.

Definitely true, of course,

he could still win. here’s how:

I’m thinking it’s trying to say:

(2/6) + (1/6) = (3/6) = (4/6) - (1/6)

But either in “colloquial English for those who want to give other people aneurysms” or “colloquial English for those trying to sound smarter but aren’t”

Basically that the degree of difference between a half and a third is the same degree of difference between a half and two thirds- and that degree of difference is “one part”.

“They have investigated themselves and insist they’re not guilty. Aid groups are lying!”- Blinkin, probably.

“I wouldn’t say that, no, I’d say it was good reporting, actually,” -Corpos; in a horribly fake British accent

Did fox give him an employee of the year award and a $5 visa giftcard?

(Oh… look article doesn’t say. Probably a REMFIE participation medal.)

poor gen x. they’re either boomers or millenials. Gen X doesn’t exist.

(/mild sarcasm)

And the peppers that troll the fuck out of your temperature receptors?

I dunno. Maybe the first sentence saying not to dismiss it as propaganda?

All of the major and many (most?) of the minor independent news outlets are also propaganda. (See: Washington Post being Bezos’ outlet. Fox and Murdoch, too.)

The only real difference is VOA belongs to a government and not an oligarch.

It’s literally funded by the federal government as propaganda

A fact that has been recognized by the Smith-Mundt act; which, until 2013, barred it from publishing where US citizens were likely to see it. Because. They didn’t want the incumbent to use it to propagandize voters.

It’s going to be interesting seeing the change at VOA after trump takes over.

It was literally illegal for it to publish articles where Americans might seem them (or broadcast radio,) until after 9/11 when they decided American propaganda needed to hit the internet.

Remind me again, which ones are the ones that do the exploding thing?

I’ll be betting on that one for the 100m dash.

yes, it does.

They may chose to not (for example, Musk,) but yes it does. And the LLCs offer a lot of other advantages. (like, if you split it into multiple LLCs, they technically have different reporting requirements. So. like. hostile take overs.)

The shares held by LLCs are still voting shares. and since you control the LLC, they vote the way you want. One of the big advantages is location- siting the LLC in someplace that has favorable regulations (maryland,) or tax structures (Florida, texas,) lets you live anywhere you want.

They also provide protection against lawsuits (for example, sachler family and purdue pharma.) and that protection goes both ways, (for example, Ruddie Ghouliani’s troubles. they’re used to hide assets. a forensic accountant might find it, but not before they get protected.)

But as for privacy; if you were careful setting it up- and hired a service out of maryland to answer the phones as a ‘representative’- then all any one would know about the LLC is that number and that rep’s office as the adress. (fun fact, there’s like two addresses used for like… most… llcs because that service is useful.)

I have to assume some of them are fiction.

mostly because it seems a little improbable. Like turning skin transparent? … why…?

You understand that most people with significantly-sized investments start using things like LLCs and trusts to invest instead of just holding it in their name? sometimes you know who owns the LLC, most times you don’t.

And the LLC owns the shares; so that’s whose name goes on the ledger. the vast majority of even the modestly-rich spend a great deal of time, effort and money to ensure their privacy. Musk is one of the rare dumbasses that publicly broadcasts it. (probably because he’s an insecure little bitch.)

It should be noted that, aside from petty human concerns like flooded roads and properties, beavers are much better at controlling flooding and generally protecting ecologies than humans.

Go watch Fringe. It’s probably one of those.

I use muhle’s open comb head with feather blades.

Can’t go back to cartridge shavers.

(And for the love of all that is holy people, dump the goop. TOBS cream, or even the expensive French soaps like Martin D’Candre are less expensive per shave and just better.)
