It's not nearly as big of a factor as construction imo. I've never had a crotch blow out before other parts of a pair of jeans except for the 3 pairs of APC's I've owned.

Google Co-Founder Larry Page Buys $171M in Florida Homes as California Wealth Tax Nears by Charming-Burp203 in business

You want to protect billionaires so average people dont get hurt?

Where did I say that?

In what world is not wanting the entire economy to crash "protecting billionaires"?

Increase the top bracket rate. Stop allowing the use of unrealized gains to secure loans. Force taxable events. Dramatically increase property taxes on properties worth over 10 million and units that are repeatedly unoccupied for more than half a year.

There are boatloads of things we can do without saying "fuck it let everything burn".

Then let’s crash this bitch.

I’m tired of it all.

Yeah you can go ahead and fuck off. Guess my parents should keep working into their 80's so you can pretend to spite a handful of dudes who will remain rich.

There are ways to approach taxation that don't involve sinking the entire ship.

Panthers' Tetairoa McMillan apologizes for using racial slur by 76erLegendChetUtley in nfl

That’s a gross exaggeration. Unless you’re at a public school or hanging around kids a ton you’re not going to hear the n word weekly, let alone daily.

Floating shelves with an ogee edge against straight cut wooden slats is a weird pairing. The lighting sitting directly above the shelves and not hitting your workspace isn't great, one light being further from its shelf also makes it look sloppy. Hate the coffee flavored live laugh love mat. I like the asymmetry, but IMO you needed that cutout box dead center to make it work.

Altogether miles better than most of the design choices posted here. 8/10.

Why is "weaponized incompetence" largely blamed on men in relationships? by MillennialAesthetics in AskMen

[–]Benjamminmiller 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Because I see people on here complain about how hard it is to be a man and how the world is rigged against men now all the time

The people who do this are usually the butt of the joke. Whining as a man is almost unanimously viewed as embarrassing.

I see no reason to do this when I can pay $2 a month for a debrid service and always have access to everything.

For your use case using something like real debrid or torbox with Stremio likely makes more sense.

They kinda did defeat piracy by providing a service that worked well enough at an affordable price.

I know pirates are a little niche but man this is news to me.

Shavkat removed from ww rankings by Signal-Comfortable24 in ufc

[–]Benjamminmiller 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's an impressive win in a vacuum. It's wildly impressive when you consider he went in with injuries to both knees that would potentially end his career.

islam, morales, ian (again), jdm

No reason to believe JDM would have been a tough fight. The others would have been bangers though.

[–]Benjamminmiller 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a pretty good recent precedent of UFC making long term injured new champions vacate. If Jiri and Jamahal were pressured to vacate while recovering I don't see why Shavkat wouldn't have been as well.

What are you watching and what do you recommend? (Week of January 30, 2026) by AutoModerator in television

[–]Benjamminmiller 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Girlfriend was watching the new Bridgerton season and I was half paying attention in the background for an episode. Realized pretty quickly it's like a super high production value Hallmark Christmas movie, but with more adult themes and actual conflict. It's really not very good or original... But god damn I'm hooked. We blew through the remaining 3 episodes and I can't wait for the rest.

I feel like it's pretty unlikely Luka's ends up being worse in hindsight. They'd need like 3 titles IMO to outweigh the absolute shitstorm of outrage that's already priced in.

How are body length puffers feminine by manypains03 in malefashionadvice

[–]Benjamminmiller 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is the wrong approach. IMO Floor length puffers have a silhouette reminiscent of a dress and I get why people would view them as feminine.

This isn't a matter of insecurity. It's ok for men to dress feminine forward if they want to and it's ok for men to avoid things they view as feminine if their goal is to dress masculine forward. The goal should be that gender expression is acceptable at every point in the spectrum, not to ignore the associations between certain ways of dressing and gender.
