My point was they’d still have some need to launder money. Or do you think it was just a walk in the park to get tons of gold and avoid all the people you’ve just robbed?
Even if laundering money was just as easy for some as going to the right port and melting it down DOES NOT erase the long history of laundering and subterfuge.
A single time period with single instances where pirates were the police does not magically remove the MUCH larger history of civilization.

Because snake oil as a general thing is here to stay. In fact, it’s never been more convincing to morons and rubes alike.

They still needed to interact with society. Do you think most ports weren’t controlled by some kind of authority that you’d have to get some kind of either favor or believability with?
Pirates weren’t pirates just to pirate things… not the successful ones, anyways.

Ahh yeah, I’ve had plenty of issues with that too. I’ve no idea when it started to just work for me. I just started to give ‘er an angled yank and it started working. It kinda’ reminds me of the stories of how F1 cars perform. They have so much down force that you pretty much have to rocket through the corners to keep grip up. If you try to tip-toe up to the edge like with a normal car, you’ll just slide out before you reach peak performance, bacause faster means more grip.
Like with the tape guns, I think some require you to be a bit rough with it and the little flappy plastic thing, or else it doesn’t bite enough to cut the tape.

No. No one needs faith to understand where knowledge is lacking. You speak as if you’ve never had a question to answer in your life. Genuinely, a pathetic experience of the unknown.

They weren’t worried about the tax man, but only a fool would believe there were zero authorities that would question someone suddenly coming upon wealth.
It’s not paying taxes but producing plausibility that laundering provides.

It’s supposed to be taped ‘to’ something by the time the blade is supposed to get involved. The object should be doing the holding of the tape unless it’s just super light.
Still a bit annoying if you only need a length of tape not stuck to something, but then that’s precisely not what it’s designed for.

There has always been better ways to launder money than simply sitting on it.
- Comment on Uncovering the Deceptive Logic That Exposes Jordan Peterson - YouTube 6 hours ago:
Yes, theory. It is NOT scientific fact. It is only supported because there is much evidence to support its occurence, NOT because scientists have “faith” in it. There is DATA behind it.
Also, there is new data that brings its occurence in to (some) question, and scientists are looking in to it, as opposed to idiots who would merely “have faith” that it occurred and not further examine it.
Again, your insistence on using “faith” only proves how little you understand of science or its products.
- Comment on Uncovering the Deceptive Logic That Exposes Jordan Peterson - YouTube 6 hours ago:
No, faith is not involved in science. At all. Jnless you’re a terrible scientist.
The ENTIRE POINT (well, an extremely important axiom of good experimentation) of a good experiment is it has to be falsifiable. Faith means nothing to an experiment. Faith has no home in science. They didn’t have faith that experiments would work. They had proof that experiments would test something that should be falsifiable.
If you run an experiment where the results cannot be proven one way or the other, it is a bad experiment. Period.
Your insistence on wedging the word ‘faith’ in to experimentation is only indicative of your utter lack of understanding of the very core axioms of science itself.

Second hour. 74 minutes is not the first hour. SMH, no wonder people think “AI” is smart if this is what they’re working with…

I mean, just because it’s not for “all ages” shouldn’t imply NSFW… This is like PG area, which is also not “all ages”.

The irnoy…, it’s palpable… Have fun wallowing in your ignorance. I will not suffer your pathetic sealioning any longer.
- Comment on Back in my day this MF was .29 cents and was THICK with INGREDIENTS 1 week ago:
No, their rampant greed and constant funneling is part of the problem absolutely and completely. Besides, this specific person is hardly a prime example of a grossly overpaid CEO when many are taking home much more than 3 mil. They’re still responsible for the structure that funnels all that money upwards.
- Comment on And nothing of value was lost 1 week ago:
Again, just because they are also humna beings does NOT mean they deserve respect or even life.
- Comment on And nothing of value was lost 1 week ago:
I’m not arguing in bad faith for disagreeing with you… rofl what a pathetically childish attitude you have. No wonder you don’t understand this conversation.
- Comment on Sony calls Tencent game ‘slavish clone’ of Horizon in new lawsuit 1 week ago:
Yes, and thusly demonstrating you’re too dumb to understand the basic concept of hyperbole or analogy. Thank younfor further proving it.
- Comment on And nothing of value was lost 1 week ago:
YOU didn’t say celebrate. I said you’re shaming others for celebrating. Again, work on your own reading comprehension before you attempt to take the high road…

Even if it’s total BS … wtf is an “aura-gap” relationship??
Is it a relationship where they basically ignore each other or something?

Well, not when you find out it’s corn and silicate filler. They’re selling you flavored sand burritos.
- Comment on Back in my day this MF was .29 cents and was THICK with INGREDIENTS 1 week ago:
Well you forgot to factor in the CEO pay and “line go up” requirement, so clearly you’re not a finance bro!

You’re the one calling their “HELL” example inaccurate, you fucking mushbrain.
- Comment on And nothing of value was lost 1 week ago:
Where did I say celebrate death? I said the horrible ideology took a loss. and you claim I’m the one that needs to work on reading comprehension…
- Comment on The stand makes the difference 1 week ago:
Easiest way to start out is to put your arms straight out in front of you and let your legs go wide. Unless you have one hell of a beer gut or weak twigs for legs (or actual health issues), it should become pretty easy with just a few tries.
- Comment on The stand makes the difference 1 week ago:
IMO it’s more about balance than flexibility. My lower legs don’t go past maybe 25-30 degrees off straight up to get 80% of the way down. If I put your arms forward, I can all the way to my ass almost touching my heels without going past maybe 35 degrees.
