My man heard of CJK input methods and thought they were a study guide. Then threw in English and French to confuse the enemy. Props to you dude! That said, you're a walking i18n nightmare.

That could be true, I don't know honestly.

But then it's an issue of bad fee structures, or rather overestimating defaulter numbers. It's not like the amount of money you make from fees reduces as your interest earnings go up, so - if this is indeed the cause - the only thing I can conclude is that to meet their total projected earnings they assumed people would default en masse. Bad long term business and slim margins if you ask me.

At the same time I have a hard time not drawing a parallel between this and GS Marcus. Apple had nothing to do with the latter and both went under (effectively), with both being forays into regular consumer services for GS.

Then again I'm just an armchair general. What do I know.

That's just mismanagement and inflated input costs. The average cc company is happy either way. Idk what it is with Goldman but they mucked up consumer banking too.

True, but the business still pays them plenty. It's not so much that they lose money, it's they they earn less.

I've only really spent 2 minutes looking at the man's wikipedia page to check for any obvious clues but I couldn't find any.

Sauce for him being a fascist please? Because that's a pretty heavy accusation to throw at someone, living or dead.

Truth be told, once I made myself live without extensions for a week, I realized I never needed them in the first place. Gnome has a way of making you discover a slightly different way of doing the same thing that in hindsight just works better with the overall system than an extension would.

But to each their own...

The trouble with that is that it shows a certain amount of respect

You know, you may have just changed my mind

This reads to me like a fairly leftist meme though, just more on the classical Marxist side.

Not missing it, just not addressing it. The topic wasn't of particular interest from that angle. Not to me anyway.

It's not that I dislike the word liberated, it's that it's completely inaccurate in this case, and those kinds of inaccuracies do have consequences, however slight at first.

Defeated is a good word. Invaded is another. Liberated isn't.
