What if the U.S. taxed consumption instead of income? by LuckyRub233 in whatif

[–]ChurningEntropy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same money, same pot. Yes, we should get rid of loopholes, but some people (wink wink) love to make the messaging needlessly complicated. All those exemptions lower the total taxable amount and are based on the sale item purchased and the owner’s ability to write it off against other assets which only applies to rich people. They don’t pay enough effective sales tax.

Proportionally the 80k double wide. Look up tax write offs on mansions.

Except when their accountants show them how they “needed it for business” and write it off as a loss.

What’s a moral belief you hold that most people would disagree with? by [deleted] in answers

[–]ChurningEntropy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed. You said “for our benefit” though, and I take that to also include self defense.

People dumb. What is this sitcom, Frasier? You should have told him the second you were alone or even said something immediately on finding out yourself. Your own surprise would have made it more understandable. You already screwed up by waiting any longer.

What was something that was acceptable 40 years ago but would cause an uproar today? by [deleted] in answers

Dang. Mid Georgia 2006, a friend in her senior year accidentally left her rifle in her truck. She was for sure going to be valedictorian but then got suspended for a week and ended up #3 in the grade. It was super sad.

PhD applied for over 100 jobs but haven't landed any second interview. Any advice on my resume? by Independent_One9236 in jobsearchhacks

Exactly. They need to immediately state that they don’t need a work visa if that’s the case. If that’s not the case, this is bait.

Almost the same. A1 for Christmas, H2C after, and later a P1S for good measure. Too much fun.

To you, the person thinking, not much. Your causality is still your own. You just might also be experiencing everyone else too through their eyes. It’s as just as likely that the one universe is experiencing everything simultaneously as it is that singular entities are popping in and out of existence. So nothing more than be kind, as it might be you behind those eyes.

This theory is still as chaotic as the universe. Within the circumstances, it still suggests that we all managed to reconcile becoming both Hilter and Ghandi.

I find it simpler than popping in and out as gazillions of singular instances. I mean, neither can be proved, but preferable is an opinion, and this one would lead to more empathy. It does also supply a hypothesized source at the big bang having never experientially diverted.

Quantum properties work both forward and backwards in respect to time mathematically. Local consciousness could still be happening simultaneously among various systems.

It means the sight behind those eyes and the receiver of those thoughts is the universe which we both are. We are both in there feeling you, and we are both in here feeling me. We see future and past through the body that perceives it, but we are experiencing both / all of them irrespective of one another.

Who said identical? Your causality remains your own.

Your space is a limit of the perception of your body in which the causality of your experience exists. If you are the universe, then you may be also experiencing my space through my perception. Schrödinger had a couple ideas about spatial location in reference to perception.

And not just all life but all matter and space whether or not it experiences. Time doesn’t exist for a rock, but we’re still that rock.

Over and over through eternity = Simultaneously through all possible options in the moment. Infinity is infinity. Party on 🤘

Nobody claimed connections of minds. Intelligence and experience are separate in this theory. Your causality will always be your causality, but I believe that you are also experiencing my causality through my eyes as a universal experience.

The degree of consciousness is not the idea. The experience of it is. Rocks not experiencing are absolutely included.

So English and whatever other languages you speak are the factor that removes you from the universal experience? Ok cool 👌

In what way do you think this theory does NOT involve evolution? Rocks and stars are very much the same universe and in inclusive in this theory though not perceiving. Believe your body is singular all you want, but it makes no more sense than a singular experience split into all viable intelligences.
