  1. I wish there was a law banning law enforcement officials from collecting money from victims of crimes before they work on their case.

     

    So often, police won't proceed with the investigation unless the family of the victim coughs up money. Police will claim their vehicles have no fuel, they need money to eat at restaurants, etc.

     

    Police should do their jobs without expecting victims to pay them off. They are paid with taxpayers' money. That should be more than enough.

     

    Police who ignore the pleas of victims to help them seek justice unless they pay up should be fired.

     

    This could actually qualify for Bribery under the Revised Penal Code.

  2. Today's music is garbage lyrics are too shallow,80's and 90's are better

     

    do you agree?

     

    Perhaps you can list down a few "better" songs from the 80's and 90's so that we can have a benchmark on what is "non-garbage lyrics"? I agree that those eras produced a lot of good music, but I can also think of music from the 70's or the 2000's that are just as equally good. Each era has its own fair share of epic music I guess.

  3. yeah I read about that.

     

    he was one of the early miners, and with a brainfart he decided to buy a new hard drive and threw away his old one

     

    I think the total value of his bitcoin wallet was somewhere around 9M USD, and there were reports that there groups of people with metal detectors trawling garbage dumps in the UK (where it happened) looking for his hard-drive.

     

    there was this other kid, who was down on his luck, posted on reddit.com asking what he should do, apparently he was strapped for cash and couldn't pay his student loans and was behind on his rent etc. etc., so he consulted reddit and told them that he had some bitcoins. When they asked how many bitcoins he had, he said 917 bitcoins. His bitcoin wallet made him a millionaire, and turned his life around literally.

    my biggest regret about this, is that I didn't take Bitcoin seriously when I learned about in 2012. Some guy told me about this but I was hesitant to put my money into something that I thought was Monopoly money lol. Now that I'm reading all about this in the news, man I could never have been more wrong.

     

    Now, I'm looking at other crypto currencies to gamble on.

     

    So if the amount of bitcoins that can be mined is limited, does this mean that the world market just lost X number of bitcoins because it's now in the dumps somewhere, with the likely scenario that the hard drive is now corrupted and all its data lost?
