there is something incredibly cathartic to watch rich white people get owned by a free market for once
Are you seriously that dumb? We just had a recession that owned rich investments (which have nothing to do with race). Last time I checked, poor people didn't do too much heavy investing. Also there are some poor people who are white. I don't know if you realized this.
You are totally the worst troll.

Yeah fandeath the upper class has pretty much solely profited from all the shittiness of the past couple years. Corporate profits are up because they can cut pay and benefits + increase hours without people leaving for other jobs because there are no other jobs. The banks got bailouts and went on to have record profits with no problem. Rich dudes are doing a-okay and everyone else got screwed.

Not to mention the new healthcare law making buying insurance mandatory, effectively giving the insurance companies millions of new customers and no incentive to lower their prices
I think my point got a little lost. Yes, everyone suffered from the recession. The rich did suffer the least. But in terms of "rich white people" getting owned, nothing owned them harder than this recession did (bar the great depression). There is no way bitcoins lost rich people more money than the recession, as was Koshian's original argument.

Same reason I always replied to teefs. Call people out on being a troll enough times, other people start to see the pattern, and they eventually get banned for being awful. Not that I would claim any responsibility in the banning of teefs. I just like to point out when someone is clearly trying to make SE++ a worse place for everyone.

So the rich are just the upper 1% now? Aren't those the extremely wealthy and powerful? I thought anyone who made over $200K a year was considered rich in America. Certainly you wouldn't call that "Middle Class," would you?

Except everybody else is saying that said rich white people actually made a ton of money and did not lose it?
All of the talking up the Longshot gets makes me really want one, but I can't remember seeing any in stores at least as far back as when I worked at Toys R Us over the holidays. And they are a hundred bucks on Amazon.
This despite the official Nerf website still happily acting as if all iterations of it are still in production and should be available anywhere...

I lost my longshot a while ago.
Everybody stopped doing fun nerf things once we all moved out of the dorms though. It was just too much of a hassle to try to keep anything going.
Yes, the Maverick is one of the best bread-and-butter nerf guns there is. Looks cool (even cooler with custom paint), easy to mod from what I hear (though I haven't tried it yet myself), shoots well for its size, easy to operate.
And if you can actually get one of the old blue ones like in that pic then bonus, I like that color scheme better than the current yellow.

look the unemployment numbers don't fucking lie here (for a fun time, look at the other metrics outside of the U3, especially U4 and U5)
the rich are did well and are doing well, and everybody else has been fucked to death
Look, I'm not going to derail the thread any further. All I know is that many people who made over $200K a year got totally screwed, especially those that invested most of their money in stocks and bonds. I understand your point, but the top 1% making out like bandits does not mean all rich people made out like bandits by any means. That's all I have to say.

No. It's a new alternative currency that can't be traced and cannot be broken down into smaller increments. There is no equivalent to the cent in Bitcoins.
And I think one Bitcoin is like 30 bucks right now.
Also Bitcoins are made by crunching some algorithm or something. It just sounds idiotic.
There was a report about this on npr. They went to a cop who had access to the site and tracked sellers and buyers. Basically they just said lol this is so easy to track, nerds are fucking retarded. Now we know everything about them and they digitally signed that they were purchasing and selling drugs

but the fact that there is a limited amount makes it by nature deflationary and because of the mining thing early adopters are naturally rich
it's literally the worst system for a stable currency and it's being held up by libertarians and nerds
Wow.
That is even dumber.
I am amazed.
Why I fear the ocean.
Not so much on Nerf.
But the stuff I've learned on bitcoins was... not great...
We all do, Squirrel.
But now we need to know if we can use nerf darts as a form of currency.
And what the exchange rate is for bottlecaps. Mark my words. Bottlecaps are the future.

Modding em is fun, now and then.
How about them indeed!

who would do such a thing. Turn a Longshot into a pistol maybe.
But just putting longshot parts on a Maverick? That's a goddamn travesty.
should I get this gun y/n?
edit: wooaaa thread goes quick and improved dramatically

Nah, the maverick is cheap and popular but it is really prone to jamming.
You would be better off getting a nitefinder or a recon.
Oh yes.
You need one. It's part of being human.

my old roommate and I had several good diving-sideways-and-dropping-to-knees-and-cursing-an-unforgiving-god-type nerf fights with mavericks
he has a very good video on his phone of me advancing steadily toward him, firing like the devil and wearing an expression of absolute grim death
in that fight he had killed my daughter
the dastard

I had turned my Longshot into a carbine so I had some extra parts laying around and my glue gun was already heated up sooooooo.
