I wonder if the people commenting on these Internet forums would be slightly older than the target demo for SpongeBob.

This was not a good comment to read directly after sipping coffee

Idk why the movies cut out the part where the empire sent semen retrieval droids to the wreckage of the Death Star.

Uphold BNB thought.

I feel like the bigger a company is, the easier it would be to nationalize. A nationalized Ticketmaster/livenation would be pretty cool I think.

Epoch is launching that soon??

Un poco I think also more strongly denotes (or at least connotes) a small amount, whereas the connotation with “some” meaning a small amount is weaker (and it has no such denotation) so the translation isn’t great for that reason either.

That’s just the dying gasp of the miasma leaving your body. The migraines are how you know it is working.

Has plastic surgery gone too far??

No, but seriously, microplastics are horrifying.

It’s so odd to me that anybody is putting much thought into this without knowing what the narrative purpose of the choice is. Take shogun, for example - this has a British protagonist (although arguably Mariko is the protagonist). But this serves a strong narrative purpose - at the very least, it is a convenient (albeit common) device which allows you to spell out the culture, background, etc. for the audience under the auspices of that stuff being told to the character who is also unfamiliar with it. And from a plot perspective, that white character also helps fill out the christianization of Japan subplot.

It could very well be the same with AC. That they picked a black samurai outsider could be a relevant plot point. That it is this one in particular - who had close contact with Nobunaga - may also be central to the plot and story they want to tell.

Sorry, I’m not sure I’m following. Are you saying “if, in exchange for its cash, the government receives real property, it is not a bailout. In contrast, if the government receives securities, then it is.”?

To be sure, I think China’s bailout of the real estate sector is good here - if developers are slow rolling the construction of homes because they need to sell their inventory first, then purchasing the inventory (or having SoE do so, as the case may be) is good. But that doesn’t have anything to do with whether it is a bailout.

Apologies, I’m not sure I’m following your point here. Please correct me if I’m misinterpreting you (which is definitely possible). Are you saying “the government purchasing inventory from a business (for the purpose of helping that business/industry) that is struggling to sell that inventory is only a bailout if that business would have gone bankrupt but for the government’s purchase. If that business would have survived, then it is not a bailout.”?

You don’t actually believe what you wrote, right? Because back in 2008, the US bought 60% of GM’s stock and over a trillion in mortgage backed securities (the bad debts that destroyed the bank’s books). Yet, this was clearly a bailout, despite the fact that the US received property in exchange for its cash.

Won’t landlords simply pass through this increased cost to tenants?

Are people still commissioning expensive art? I would have thought AI would have eaten their lunch.

What is the tax advantage of the holding LLCs? Is it some state tax thing? For US federal income tax purposes, assuming these were wholly owned, they would be disregarded entities.

Colorful fabric fluttering in wind = neurons activate.

Legislative heads are the speaker of the house and the senate majority leader. Kamala’s power is just to cast tie breaker votes in the senate.

While I agree that Biden effectively has highest legislative powers, it is not because of the veto power (which is subject to override by congress anyway). It is because he has de facto control over the administrative agencies, which is where most of our legislation really happens, and because he has the power to write executive orders.

I doubt you will get good advice from people in this thread, since this is a highly specialized field of law that will also differ from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. I would recommend you look into free legal aid organizations in your area, as they often having housing clinics and can provide advice on the applicable law, next steps, and legal filings.
