Bye,

What’s wrong with potato salad?

Bye,

Ro Laren though

Bye,

Can we do mandatory civil service instead

Like that would actually help people, building infrastructure, national parks, gaining skills and trades, maybe helping reduce obesity

Bye,

USA neighbor here,

66% is insane, like if I saved up $500k to retire, I’d like to be selling some every year, like 5% (actually a little more but this is for easy numbers). That would get me $25,000 per year, then I’d pay capital gains tax on that and have about $20k left over. A modest retirement, could move to somewhere inexpensive and retire on that.

A 60% capital gains tax means I would have to save 1.5 million dollars to achieve that same retirement.

Bye,

Thanks for the info, that makes perfect sense. Seems like a good idea to tax people making tons and tons of money at a high rate then!

Bye,

If you save money for retirement you’re ideally selling gains off of that money. Like you have 500k invested in something safe like bonds, it’s making maybe 5% a year, so you live off of that 5% in early retirement and a bit more than that in late retirement. Then you have money leftover when you die, so your heirs can have it.

Bye,

Just fucking sink them

Bye,

How are they going to know it wasn’t Ukraine

Bye,

Why is the right becoming more popular? What changed?

Bye,

Is this because they waited too long, or because the answer is something other than anti-immigrant sentiment?

For example, there’s this statistic that almost everyone dies shortly after having CPR performed on them. Paradoxically, that doesn’t mean CPR is bad: it absolutely saves lives. It’s just that they do it too late on a lot of people (and also perform it on a bunch of people who are going to die no matter what but that’s not the point of this anecdote).

Bye,

No. In the US at least, wages are up for blue collar work, and that’s where the economy was most vulnerable. Inflation has been bad but it’s coming back under control and wages can outpace it in the next couple years, median wage growth already has (yes I have a hard time believing this too, but that’s the numbers).

The last financial crisis had a flagrant cause in default-prone loans. There isn’t such a problem right now.

The largest crisis we are running into is a crisis of propaganda, where people are being told “everything is terrible” when in fact the numbers show that everything is pretty great… except for white collar tech workers (me!).

I think the tech market will rebound the second that the fed lowers rates again, because tech is fundamentally capital intensive and speculative. So you need cheap money to fuel tech. Video games deflated/corrected a bit but that’s fine, those people can work on other things.

Bye,

your friends

Single player supremacy

I’m still enjoying civ5 without any DLC

Bye,

They’ve been raised on systems where you don’t need it, and they fundamentally don’t understand how one talks to a computer. It’s actually quite a bit to learn, and if you didn’t grow up doing it, it seems like a big cliff.

Bye,

Safety standards caused passenger cars to get larger more than anything else (trucks got bigger because of weird fuel economy regulations).

Roll back safety standards and we can have small cars again. It’s probably worth the amount of excess deaths it will create, but someone should do a study.

Bye,

Absolutely true, it’s why there aren’t any more fun pop up headlights, or hood ornaments.

Bye,

You shouldn’t be surprised.

People who work declining agriculture and heavy industry jobs want easy solutions. Republicans promise them easy solutions (tarrifs, bring the jobs back, stop immigration). Democrats bring up difficult things (retraining, actually nothing else).

So of course they want the easy solution. Who wouldn’t (doesn’t matter if it will work or not, the hard one sounds too hard for them).

Dems need to find easy solutions to get those people on board, otherwise they are screwed. Biden has started doing this by embracing tariffs on China (which are not working, but are VERY popular among the people they are slightly hurting).

Bye,

Boycotts don’t work against Walmart because many folks (their core demographic) have no choice but to shop there.

Meaningful legislation and regulation is the way forward.

Bye,

Thanks for the explanation.

Bye,

What is skibidy

Bye,

Is that instrument cluster from a jeep zj?

Bye,

Thanks for making me feel good

Bye,

This is some Fox News shit, she had a bad dog that bit people and shot it, big deal. That’s how life is in the country. This seems like sensationalistic garbage to get clicks. M

Talk about the actual issues. Talk about how these fascists are trying to take over the fucking country. Talk about how they are trying to enslave women’s bodies. Or roll back rights for sexual minorities. Etc etc etc.

Bye,

He is as anti Israel as he can be. Usually anything less than full throated support would lose the election for a candidate of either party. And he’s still managed to condemn them a little bit, and is building a pier for aid delivery to Palestinians so fucking hmas can’t steal their aid. Like there really isn’t much more you can ask of a us politician without basically asking them to forfeit the election.

Bye,

You mean the people who are making a sequel?

Bye,

It probably is though.

Bye,

BRB buying Raytheon stock

Bye,

Supporting the genocide probably helps him in the polls.

Bye,

Needs one more syllable before The Simpsons Hit and Run. Like if the game “Black” was right before it.

Bye,

Pretty sure Kissinger said that; the us does not have allies or enemies, only interests.

The broken housing market is merging with America’s polarized political culture (fortune.com)

It’s no secret that America is an increasingly polarized nation. It stands to follow that our places of residence would also be divided. But instead of a donkey and an elephant, the new emblems of each party might as well be an unowned apartment in a big city and a home in the suburbs. Just consider what Aziz Sunderji has...

Bye,

Same and I wouldn’t either.

I think this is just some more urban rural divide stuff. It’s a lot easier to be a homeowner in rural places, since cities have much more expensive real estate and renting is more common. So rural people are more likely to be republicans and urban people are more likely not to be.

Bye,

They aren’t over hiring relative to the number of people it takes to make a game.

They over hired relative to the number of people it takes to get people to buy the game.

Bye,

YES

honestly I’m ready to ban the internet. This whole thing was a huge mistake. We are not evolutionarily equipped to handle this much connection.

Bye,

We had the million man march and stuff way before the internet. I’m not sure why I think this, but I think it may prevent organization more than it enables it.

Bye,

I don’t think anyone is interested in sanctioning their own proxy state.

So lots of places should sanction, but the USA will not.

Bye,

I wish Ubuntu was just xUbuntu by default and that xfce didn’t have like 4 different settings menus for no reason. I’d also like it if there was a minimalist icon theme by default, and a dock like old school vanilla Ubuntu.

Oh and better multi monitor support

Bye,

Electric cars sound great, it just sucks that they are all luxury vehicles right now. Like there’s no $3000 used electric car out there for regular people to buy. Hell there isn’t even a new $20k electric car.

Most people won’t do mass transit because they’ve been socialized to see it as gross. And it is gross. In my town there are always crazy people riding the bus harassing the driver because they are lonely, and the bus smells like pee. And the bus never gets you there faster than a car, so why ever ride it.

Bye,

I think it’s totally legit to hate nvidias proprietary thing. You just have to realize that we live in a time when arguments are never in good faith, especially on the internet. “It looks bad” may as well mean “it hurt my feelings”

Bye,

In homeworld 2, it barely matters. It’s just a really good rts, with great visuals and a wonderful story.

In homeworld 1, the 3D part totally matters in a lot of missions, and it’s really fun and cool.

The appeal is “spaceships, space Middle East, cool music”

Bye,

Can we yet dispense with the fiction that hamas is fighting some just war?

Hiding behind civilians and intentionally using their deaths as propaganda is terrible.

Also, free palestine, fuck hamas, fuck likud, fuck Iran, and fuck Russia.

Bye,

I was in the used video game store today and they had a huge bin of Blu-ray’s, including really good movies, for $3 each.

It’s dead

Just finished my first playthrough of Prey by Arkane Studios and WOW.

Can’t believe it took me so long to get around to playing this but I’m so glad I did. Dishonored is still my favorite of theirs but now I’ve played all their games and they are easily my favorite studio because of their rich storytelling and immersive world design....

Bye,

Tried it, game was too hard for me. I think it’s the kind of game that rewards you for investing a lot in it, which isn’t for me. It also didn’t really hold my hand enough. I play only a few games a year and I don’t have time to live in a games world and figure it out.

I imagine others like it for those reasons.

Bye,

How about they buy sega instead

I want more sonic mania games and apparently sega won’t make them.

Bye,

Yeah never being in a game where you feel like you’re actually good is one of my issues with halo infinite, and it’s why I stopped playing it.

No more multiplayer for me, just single player games from now on.
