Now that it is Black Friday over here in America - the official start of the Christmas season - I thought we could share some of our favorite Christmas songs (you can only make this topic once a year :P) Here are some of mine Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas (Frank Sinatra). Sort of depressing, sarcastic feel to it. It gives it a different feel than other Christmas songs. Not sure if anyone feels that way. Linus and Lucy (Vince Guaraldi Trio). This is the theme song to the Charlie Brown Christmas special. Not sure if its considered a Christmas song in non-American countries. Sleigh Ride (Leroy Anderson). Non instrumental versions suck, no offense. My all time favorite: The Christmas Song (Nat King Cole) edit: MY VIDEOS WON'T IMBED GAH

Still not used to yuanrang in orange. Btw you need to change "pm me" in your signature to orange.

I do mutual funds. I’ve been thinking about doing bonds too.

Casual Friday!

(I am referring to the European figurehead sort, not hereditary dictatorships.) Monarchies seem completely outmoded in modern democratic societies. At best, they act as an extra-governmental feature. I can only think of several benefits to maintaining a monarchy-- 1. Tourism 2. Connection to History 3. A stable (but powerless) head of state. I live in the United States, where there is no official monarchy. I was wondering what people from limited monarchical governments (e.g., UK) thought of monarchies in the current world. Harmless? Silly? A way to keep national identity?

Past weekend :(

Yikes lots of text but exposure does create “acquired immunity” to the pathogen in many cases. (This is how vaccines work.). The continued existence of some pathogen diseases does not mean acquired immunity does not exist, but it is not always absolute for whatever reason. I think a complete lockdown is now unfeasible and we should use volume control, vaccination and masking at this point. I hope we can get better masks instead of these minimally protective cloths.

We should move this to the announcements section. No need to add “Congratulations to…” because that would not adequately communicate our bleak despair.

I remember Aabid posting “wow seeing these forums makes me so nostalgic!!” four months after he quit.

In my opinion, the upvote/downvote idea is not worth it. I can't think of a significant plus that it brings to the enjoyment of the forum experience and it has several minuses. The main negative of the system is that it gets (some) people caring about votes, causing people to intentionally try to get upvotes/downvotes because they think it increases their relevance on an internet site or causes people to bully a member of the site by downvoting all of their posts. So I was wondering what other people think. I may be the only person who feels this way. We have already had trouble with this already and we've only had upvotes/downvotes for maybe a month. I suggest going back to only the upvote system (which would solve in my opinion the main problem) or just get rid of the system entirely. Don't be afraid to voice your opinion on this matter and let's keep this discussion non-personal (e.g. don't bring up any too specific incidents).

20 minute breaks every four hours? Pathetic!

Some say Yuanrang is secretly Magnus Carlsen.

Can’t wait for the theta variant!
