The CIA is believed to have spearheaded several attempts to kill God over the years, but these schemes have been foiled each time due to the difficulty of preventing an omniscient being from obtaining advanced knowledge of an assassination plot.

I think if everyone watched this a bit more often, we'd be much closer to world peace.

An interesting article about online pricing and retail

https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine...us-all/521448/

Quote:

He and his team at Boomerang have built a massive system that tracks prices and has informed billions of pricing decisions for clients ranging from Office Depot to GNC to U.S. Auto Parts. But its software engine isn’t built to match the lowest price out there. (That, Hariharan notes, would be a simple algorithm.) It’s built to manage consumers’ perception of price. The software identifies the goods that loom largest in consumers’ perception and keeps their prices carefully in line with competitors’ prices, if not lower. The price of everything else is allowed to drift upward.

4 grams of pure drug or 4 grams of drug + whatever the filler mass is? 4g of pure oxy is like 800 doses. It's Florida, so I'm guessing 40 pills will get you a trafficking conviction.

Hey for all you "Sam Harris isn't a racist" dumbasses, in the latest episode of his podcast he talks to Charles Murray, I'm sure you all will love it.

Please tell us what racist things Harris and Murray said in that podcast. You must know it was racist as you clearly listened to it already.

Who is Charles Murray btw?

That would require pvn to take a stance or make a point, which is antithetical to his being.

yes basically. Worst thing i've ever done in the process of selling drugs is park in the patient-only parking. Pretty good argument for legalization imo.

Chelsea would have been 1000% better candidate than Trump.

That dummies voted for trump, didn't vote or voted for third parties doesn't change that or that almost anyone should have beaten trump running away.

He literally made a point in that post!

I mean, not a lot of gratitude from the Harris fanclub here when pvn was so kind to alert you guys to new #content.

I literally can't imagine how someone could see pvn make that post, not know who Charles Murray is, NOT listen to the podcast, and gamble that pvn must be doing race pimping and try to own him.

For ****'s sake, the podcast ep is titled "Forbidden Knowledge".
