That’s why you go to the references on Wikipedia and cite them instead.

Article.

So, this dude who figured out Bernie Madoff was running a pyramid scheme says General Electric is involved in a $38b accounting fraud, saying that’s worse than two similarly massive corporate scandals... but gave an advance copy of his report to a hedge fund and he will receive a share of the profits they get as a result of, presumably, short-selling GE stocks, which dropped by 11% on the heels of it.

Nobody beyond the GE CEO seems to have a problem with that, and I am unsure how this does not constitute some form of insider trading.

I bet sooner rather than later.

There are better ways to frame an argument than “everyone is fucking retarded”, min.

There is a magic word for that. "Hello." It's pretty much a handshake protocol where both parties agree to listen to each other for a little bit~

Except for when they don't! Sometimes, people are just complete assholes and will completely, blatantly ignore you for no real reason.

Most aren't, though. It's just getting the guts to actually throw yourself out there that's the tricky part...

Depends on the situation. People on the way to and from places are generally disinclined toward communication from strangers.

Folk in shops are good to practice with, at least saying hello, as they are generally told to do at least that with everyone. Just a case of getting comfortable and reducing that anxiety.

No problem. It’s not really an obvious thing since it doesn’t tell you the possible outcomes or the conditions for them. I found out via the CKII wiki.

Use the character finder to search for people outside your realm within diplomatic range that have >15 learning. You may want to filter by your religion and culture, depending on how much people like you or whether or not you care about the opinion penalties for foreigners and/or infidels. You may have to give people a gift of 15 gold to come to you.

Alternatives are looking for the mystic trait, and another trait I can't remember, unless it's just renowned physician and I don't think you can invite someone to court with that trait as they are usually loyal servants. If you're within diplomatic distance of China, you can just give them stuff 'til you get enough grace (I think it's 250, might be 500) to ask them to provide you with a physician.

Stopgap measures include choosing lifestyles that give you the +1 health bonus. Hunting is probably the best one, as you get the +1 bonus from choosing it, +1 from the dog, and potentially +1 from the "train your dog yourself" event, if you already have... the diligent trait certainly, I think also the patient trait.

According to the Beeb article I read on it he asked his wife if it would be a good idea, she said he was a silly little boy or some such. He asked his sister to film it, she said it was a stupid idea.

Now he’s being prosecuted as a terrorist because he didn’t think people would freak out when a heavily armed man goes into the same brand of store that was attacked just days prior.

I think it’s this level of idiot that shows why we need better gun control laws. Perhaps if he went to safety classes he wouldn’t have done something so asinine.
