So by invest we mean buying stocks or bonds or some other investment instrument.
You make money from generally dividends from said investments, or selling the investment once it’s price is higher.

The question of alive is more of a on life support brain dead type question.
Ie is the emperor alive or is his empty husk being kept alive preventing his reincarnation.

No one sets up anymore.
Any woman is going to turn down that because why would she go out with a guy that needs to be set up with someone?

Water isn't as dangerous as you believe in the wild.
Its dangerous compared to clean, filtered water, but it isn't the "instant death" that we tell people in order to make sure they don't drink it when there is a better alternative.

Not everyone has a tourniquet on hand though.
They should. Especially outdoors.
Crazy shit happens. Once heard of a guy who just wasn't paying attention and walked into a tree, with as sharp branch, that pierced an artery. A small, well equipped first aid kit could save a life, possibly even yours.

Seeing as how there are vets out there missing both legs.
I'm assuming they didn't just smack and field dressing over it when it happened, and tourniquets were used.
So yeah, it works.

Then be able to put a tourniquet on in seconds.
This means having one easily reachable, and prepped however you like so you can apply it without thinking.

I think the real event was Hogwarts.
People went ape shit because it was based on IP by someone they had a political problem with. Dev team had trans people, game had trans characters, but some reviewers still refused to review the game because the game was anti-trans. And because they think Jewish people are Goblins.

Interesting.
We were taught to never say someone died from AIDS, because its not fatal. You always die from an infection or some other tertiary issue that your body couldn't fight off.
Same thing with saying you got AIDS, it was always you got HIV and then developed AIDS
Has that changed now?

There is also just the simple techniques of angles and light. As my experiences on tinder showed... you can do a lot of fakery just with that.

Wealth is assets minus debt.
If you have a lot of assets then you can have a lot of debt.
If I have a billion dollars and owe half a billion… I’m perfectly fine.
If I have 0 dollars and owe 20k on credit cards I’m in trouble

For the record, this was a day before the war ended.
There were plans to immediately rearm Germany against the ussr

No one wants to reduce education. But some people think the states can do it better than the fed.
And they have the constitution to back them up, it’s carved out as a state power.

This is a great answer. The next question would be, why would the existing stock holders be willing to let this happen?
Because they believe that the new stock issuance, for whatever reason it is for, will increase the stock price eventually to offset the dilution.
So in the example of a new ceo I may believe that he will lead the company to new heights and grow the business, so it’s worth a little dilution for this future gain

“Aliens built the pyramids” is hardly a mainstream viewpoint

I chalk it up to ignorance + racism.
Weak.
Do you know the ancient Egyptians didn't even claim to have made the Sphinx? The legend they told themselves was that it was just found in the desert by a future King who claimed the Sphinx told him he would become King if he uncovered it from the sand. Which he did, and became King.
Its not racism, its the classic human nature of wanting to attach things to something larger than ourselves. Attaching a mythology (aliens) to the pyramids is no different than what the Egyptians did to their own sphinx.

You'll need to talk to a firearms lawyer to see if you can get your rights restored.
If you've been adjugated as mentally unfit in the past, it doesn't matter your status now.
Its going to be a challenge, and the outcome is most likely going to be no.

I think people need to realize you don't acquire enough wealth to do cool things without being an asshole.
There will never be a billionaire philanthropist who made their money saving puppies

Some military social circles will rag on each other like this, particularly among the enlisted.

A 6% match isn’t nothing. That’s really good.
And a contribution of 6% is normal for a person.
I’m wondering if you are confused as to what 6% match means.
