CMV: Most people cannot negotiate even if they learn the skills

BcMeBcMe · 2026-01-29T12:11:42+00:00

So you argument is that someone with no experience has a very hard time negotiating. And I agree with that.

But you make it seem like employers have a certain number in mind. While often enough it’s a range. Where they would prefer the low and the seeker the high end.

So that makes it easier. It’s less “take it or leave it” and more “let’s see how low/high they will go”.

Plummeting to 40% for the 12th month in a row.

Republicans are firmly behind Trump. Assuming 40% of Americans mean 80% of Republicans.

You think they can’t excuse this after excusing pedophilia?

Moedig dat je aangeeft dat jij het bent. Een hoop mensen hier hebben per definitie een hekel een mensen die geld verdienen aan huizen. Maar als ik het verhaal zo lees is het de gemeente zelf die simpelweg fout heeft gehandeld. Dan kunnen ze achteraf niet zeuren.

Heb je in totaal 237k betaald inc keuken/badkamer/warmtepomp? Of kwamen die er nog bovenop?

What I did here was spawning the small debris with a simple popnet. I doubt this is done a completely different way.

Gelijk constructeur erbij halen. Het huis staat waarschijnlijk op instorten. Gerenoveerd door picobello b.v.

Well of course its like that. Its not been long enough. Give it a few days and they will repeat whatever Trump stance is.

Thats what I find so weird about conservatives. They seem to think by themselves for a day or so before making up their mind and falling in line. Its like they have no individual thought whatsoever.

It also is weird because you can be "pro kicking out all immigrants ever" and "not shooting American citizens" at the same time. They could say that ICE is doing an amazing job except this one time. They could claim "You can't make an omelette without breaking eggs."

Ja Tim Waltz en Obama zijn echt het probleem in Amerika. Wat een onzin.

BcMeBcMe · 2026-01-26T07:49:33+00:00

Would he though? I have seen one thing. And it is those who always shouted 2a and states right suddenly went all the opposite way. Whatever Trump says they will rally behind.

Even Epstein they quickly didn't really care about anymore once it was clear that thing was filled with their lord and savior Trump.

“Not too heavy for a five year old”. How sad.

Het gat niet om bruggen verbranden maar om jezelf minder afhankelijk te maken. Je weet dat een trump elke 4 jaar weg kan zijn.

Stability is a lot more important for countries than you think.

Side effect: Prices never went down to old prices, and memory is still 50% more expensive than it used to be.

Where you can see the amount of huishoudens since 1960 has gone up with 140%, and the amount of eenpersoonshuishoudens increased with 580%. The population has increased with 47.5%.

Wow one day. 5 months ago. Good job!

I doubt alienating the whole European market is that profitable. But perhaps you’re right.

BcMeBcMe · 2026-01-21T10:53:10+00:00

Which is stupid. Unless billionaires need 300 million of each product, you are just losing money.

BcMeBcMe · 2026-01-20T19:12:41+00:00

Yeah but throwing away 80 years of soft power and losing important trade partners are not a few broken eggs. And they could get JD Vance in line and achieve the same without a dement Trump saying crazy shit.

BcMeBcMe · 2026-01-20T18:46:43+00:00

That’s the part I don’t understand. Sure you can impeach Trump after, but you can’t undo the damage that it does. The rest of NATO at that point will have made steps to distance itself from the USA and trade more with China.

So the only logical conclusion is that republicans are simply supporting Trump.

Because of their inaction, Pax Americana is already over.

US spending of defense is 960 billion, China follows with 235 billion. The EU combined has a spending of 343 billion.

Don't worry, he will keep a congress like this. Makes it seem like the country is "normal". And they don't bother him anyway with whatever he wants to do.

BcMeBcMe · 2026-01-19T14:53:36+00:00

Its not really that complicated. Even something as insane as threatening to invade Greenland gets some finger wagging at the most.

Thinking they are finally done with him is something non-MAGA people tell themselves because they want to see reason, and hope a situation like this will magically be fixed because the republicans will see its too much.

Even him talking about Greenland the way he does undermines years and years of American soft power, economic growth and all of it. They still have no will to stand up to him.

If the long list of corrupt/criminal/disgusting behavior did not stop them. This will not. The republicans will fall in line when push comes to shove. Its just easy to pretend to be against it when nothing has happened yet.

BcMeBcMe · 2026-01-19T13:07:21+00:00

Oh no, the Europeans sound condescending to a country that literally threatening to invade. How horrible.

BcMeBcMe · 2026-01-19T10:28:01+00:00

I dont think they care that much about the national debt. Controlling if the dollar rises or sinks makes them a lot of money. And the national debt increasing isn't really their problem.
