If they're cheating then they won't hang on to those research spots for long.

I wonder how many people are anti-Israel because of the new settlements they keep on building in East Jerusalem? They are doing so despite broad condemnation.
throwaway6969··on Twitter Censoring Trump Supporters
You can't really tell without more data. If the overwhelming amount of responses are anti-Trump they might drown out his Tweet due to some automated trimming process. There could be anti-Trump tweets eliminated too because they weren't popular enough but he can't tell.
throwaway6969··on Chinese Buy One-Third of Vancouver Homes: National Bank Estimate
That is unfortunate. There's been a long history of provinces just screwing each other (Sask just recently put two homeless men on a bus to vancouver).I wonder why the federal govt doesnt have full jurisdiction on immigrant visas.

No, souls != property. People sell their property and get money for it. Generally they do sell to the highest bidder. There is no collective ownership. You have no stake in other people selling their own property. There is no "we". How does a hot RE market imply things arent going to end well? Fairly big jump. Toronto is the only other hot mkt in the vast country of canada. Calgary and other cities are seeing falling RE prices.

Hmmm, making up 1/3 of the total dollar amount spent on RE doesn't equal buying 1/3 of the homes. There is some numerical illiteracy here.

That's why Go succeeds too.
throwaway6969··on Chemical clears Alzheimer's protein and restores memory in mice
I wish I could vote this down. What does this statement really add except reiterate what was said previously?

Because people like you are quick to judge that there's only one possible motive. It seems like there was a dispute before the shooter left and came back with guns.
