What if, now hear me out, what if the entire planet is a witch sacrifice altar where beings from other dimensions are sent and incorporated as humans and they live their lives full of confusion, suffering and pain and then they all have to die and that collective sacrifice feeds the pan-dimensional deity that lives beyond the black hole known as the Great Annihilator?

The Panthers did not hold women in the same regard as men, and thus, their female membership was non-existent.

Yeah, you're right, I'm wrong.

If it's any consolation, they are going to end up as slaves to the security forces that they will have to set up. Once the economy collapses it will be might makes right once again.

Gold is agreed upon as a store of value. There's always someone willing to buy it. You're right that its intrinsic value as a material is lower than the actual price but people's belief in gold is the same as their belief in a fiat currency.

The difference is that gold is a physical asset, so that no matter what the rate of inflation or the fluctuation of the market price if you have a tonne of gold you will always have that tonne.

Also it is not administered by a central bank with a political agenda.

Lastly gold is rare and finite. Eventually there will be no more gold to be mined.

The problem with IPA's is not that people enjoy them or that brewers brew them and pubs stock them. The problem is that there's so many of them, all purporting to be slightly different, that it's pushing out other kinds of beer. The amount of times I have walked into a pub and there's somewhere between three and seven IPA's and I ask if they've got any stouts and the answer is, "We've got Guinness."

Probably should have started with a small leopard rather than choosing to back an obese leopard with a looong track record of chawing on people's countenances.

I think you all need to go ahead and have that second Civil War, clear out the dead wood.
