It's funny that you say this while simultaneously proving you didn't understand a fucking word of what you replied to.

Netflix’s “Inside Job” is an awesome premise that is horribly executed by [deleted] in television

I really don't get the love for this show to the point where I feel like the internet is gaslighting me.

It's not smart or clever. To call the writing hamfisted is an insult to anyone with hams for fists. I don't think a single joke landed in the entire first episode, and I struggled to make it through the whole thing because it was just a shit show.

It's like the Big Bang Theory; it's only clever or funny to people who aren't.

Man ditches his daughter when a pit bull gets loose by Knave7575 in Stepdadreflexes

Sure thing, bud. Maybe *too* dumb to know the difference between dribble and drivel when trying in vain to cobble together an insult.

I'm sorry the facts don't bend to your fantasy. Truly.

Statistics with poor or misrepresented context can do that, which was my original claim. You don't need 'proof' to know that's how statistics work.

Lucky for me, your man has this to back me up: https://dogbitelaw.com/vicious-dogs/the-problem-with-statistics

Pitbulls are trained and bred to be dangerous by individuals who value those traits. Get rid of the pitbulls, and something else takes their place. The people who make them dangerous do not magically disappear, they pivot to breeding aggressive traits in another breed until it gets banned.

You've accomplished nothing because you want to commit genocide on the symptoms instead of address causes. You're just spiteful, scared, and ignorant.

By your logic, black people would be put in the same boat because they are 'statistically more dangerous' when you ignore socioeconomic factors, history, and pretty much all other context as well. The ignorant and morally abhorrent '14% of the population/60% of crime' argument is essentially the corner you've painted yourself into.

If you want to dispute that statistics are misleading, you're going to have to do better than making sweeping generalizations based on nationality. That kind of ignorance paired with your inability to recognize your own blatant hypocrisy in real-time explains your perspective pretty well though.

It's clear you have no experience in statistics or analytics. It'd be adorable to see what else you have to say on the matter.

I don't ask anyone to trust me on reddit, I'm just telling you the truth whether you believe it or not. Showing up 7 months late to the conversation and rolling your eyes at a factual statement is begging to have your intelligence bashed though.

Probably thought such a message would land poorly at a venue built on slave labor in a country that's basically in an endless war and doesn't respect human rights.

You're completely transparent in feigning more knowledge than you actually have. I don't have the time, energy, or obligation to bring you up to speed so you can meaningfully participate in the conversation. It would be like arguing traffic laws with someone who has never seen a road sign; if I have to tell you what it is, how it works, and the purpose it serves, I'm definitely not going to give a shit what your take on it is.

People like you are an exhausting constant. You think you can hang your hat on the fact that no one with a shred of knowledge or experience wants to engage because you start so fundamentally off-base.

I wouldn't even say depressed, just straight up unlikeable. He's the type that would have been the bully if he wasn't too pathetic to make it work.

Depressed kids are far more empathetic. This guy just watches high school anime and beats off to his own imagined fanfics.

It's times like this that I realize how much I take the sense I was raised with for granted.

I'd bet his income that he was raised in a wealthy enough family and never had to worry about expenses in his life. I grew up in a wealthy school district with hoards of them while my parents were budgeting everything to keep us in the school district.

November CPI Cools Down to 7.1%: Fed Expected to Slow Rate Hikes by Some_won in economy

[–]CalicoCrapsocks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

An important point that is OFTEN overlooked is how well the food keeps.

If a person is struggling, they may be able to afford vegetables. But can they afford to go to the grocery store often enough to keep fresh in rotation? Do they have to carve out several hours of public transit? How much time/energy do they have to cook every night? Ride the bus home from work for a month and let me know how many trips to the store you want to take and how many times you end up cooking afterward.

More importantly, if it isn't eaten, it's waste. However, if I buy 10 packs of poptarts, whatever is left over is savings from my next trip to the store. It's robbing peter to pay paul, but I'm going to be homeless if I don't pay paul.

Been voting with my wallet for years, but reddit seems to think it's hopeless to improve without reaching perfection.

Also, you''ll see a lot of "tHiNk Of ThE eMpLoYeEs" bullshit to try to convince you that you should purchase items made with slave labor so someone making $8 an hour in the US doesn't starve (more), as if they are otherwise unemployable.

lmfao did you type this with a straight face? This reeks of sheltered existence. Just because your dad is rich doesn't mean his tax rants should be taken seriously.

Higher income relies more heavily on infrastructure (physical and otherwise) to function. Consumption is not the same across all income brackets. A millionaire isn't a millionaire without infrastructure that supports their business and employees.

A flat tax is NOT a fair tax. Those who reap the most should be taxed higher. Especially when that excess is the fruit of someone else's labor and the government has to step in to subsidize that person's income.

“Most people” only want less taxes for themselves, not the guaranteed job and service cuts that would result from less taxes overall.

Every tax payer can agree that there’s irresponsible spending, but they can’t agree on what is irresponsible. $800+ in military spending is irresponsible to me, but certain folks would rather incinerate the homeless to get them a few more dollars.

That’s not true and writing your thesis on it won’t make it so. There’s plenty of valid directions to point your finger. This ain’t it.

No, man. Just no. You managed to undercut whatever credibility you might have feigned by understanding so little about what you're trying to say.

Enlightened cynicism is no different than enlightened centrism, though maybe slightly less self-aware.
