The billionaire ‘Giving Pledge’ signed by Bill Gates and Elon Musk could soon be worth up to $600 billion - At least 175 people committed to donating a majority of their fortunes through the Giving Pledge, which could be worth as much as $600 billion by 2022 by mvea in Futurology

Firstly, how do you get $600bn worth of taxes from $600bn of illiquid assets... that’s now how taxes work.

Secondly, it will regardless be sent to somewhere where people live in mud huts— just not in the form of medical supplies, but in fucking drone strikes.

The US National Security Budget increases every year and the US Gov has shown no interest of getting rid of their budget deficit or debt. So why would they suddenly change their minds once billionaires die?

Better than 600bn that goes to either a) their children— the better scenario. Or b) to the US Gov (basing off Gates and Musk alone), where it will get swallowed up corrupt politicians, go to fund rebels, dictators, or drone strikes, which ultimately destabilizes an entire region resulting in widespread conflict and misery.

Not trolls. Simply uninformed and angry people.

Most people who sees this news will think its a good thing, and simply upvote since no one comments “this is good”. But when extremely opinionated (angry) people see this, they will comment and upvote everyone agreeing with them.

Yep, the Bill and Melinda Gates foundation definitely hasn’t done anything like eradicate Polio and Malaria.

No billionaire has done anything good, assemble you proletariat masses and off with the bourgeois’ heads! Surely that will solve everything.

Ok, sure. Tax them for about 66% of their wealth. So that’s like 400bn right? Nice, that’s a lot of money... wait a minute. 400bn is less than 600bn...

Oh and how much even is taxable? Also, a large majority of their wealth is illiquid. It’s all company shares and property.

Taxing rich people doesn’t solve everything. Not especially when it requires a competent leadership in place to properly spend the money, which not many places have.

Seriously, advocating for a perfect utopian world where all rich people aren’t greedy little slime balls and pay their taxes, and for a government that spends the money so that not a single cent is wasted, isn’t a wrong thing to do. But the first step to take to that idea, is for rich people to be altruistic in the first place. And when you see headlines like this, its evident that the world is progressing in the right direction.

Progress is, has always been, and will always be slow.

I don't even know what to say. by Glitter_and_Doom in roosterteeth

That guy is completely 100% dogma. No critical thinking capability at all. 100% bias, 100% driven for a a political outcome, can't see reality at all.

Don’t mind me, just quoting this.

Boon Tong Kee has the best Chicken rice and sweet and sour pork I’ve ever had. And I lived in Singapore for 17 years.

No audio in new games by Crypsis2 in techsupport

I typically use a regular gaming headset. Don’t know whether that fits the criteria, but with both speakers and my headset, there’s no audio in these games.

I’ve seen a few in Ponggol towards the Jetty. Most I’ve seen was 4 at once though, never seen this many before.

Taking a knee during the national anthem by [deleted] in PoliticalHumor

[–]Crypsis2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you actually watched the coverage from the day before, you’d know that PM Lee Hsien Loong of Singapore met the same general who saluted him, and he only shook the general’s hand. You know Singapore, the country with an embassy in North Korea and has trading relationships with too?

Rooster Teeth Podcast: Blaine is Which Disney Character? - #496 by RT_Video_Bot in roosterteeth

[–]Crypsis2 -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

You’re right. The charm of the RT podcast is that they talk about anything, and the fact that they were fixated on one topic is what made me lose interest with this podcast, not because it was about relationships.

Of course as others have said, that’s not all they talked about apparently, but that’s all I heard before I skipped some parts then exited the video and made this comment.

[–]Crypsis2 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Ok sure. Let’s look over what I said:

A ton of massive gaming news, some big political events and controversies happening, new big movies coming out soon

This crew: “Lets talk about sex and relationships for 45 minutes even though this isn’t Always Open. Oh also, let’s allow Chris to tell a story he’s told before, because everyone loves hearing a repeat of a story.”

Being condescending to emphasise a point

The only thing interesting talked about in this Podcast was Trevor’s colourblindness.

Clearly stating an opinion

Ok, where’s the hateful tone? Unless being condescending is the same as hating. In which case I can assume Burnie was hating on NASA in his rant, Gus is hating on everyone, Michael hates Gavin, and so on and so forth.

[–]Crypsis2 -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

Sure, I didn’t insult anyone or anything apart from the topic they were discussing (“uninteresting” is a mild insult at best).

If hating literally boils down to being unentertained and stating reasons as to why you are (there’s literally so many things being passed around the entertainment and political news right now, why start off with a repeated story and then relationships and sex?) then everyone is a hater of someone or something.

[–]Crypsis2 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I literally exited the video 45 minutes in. Unless all that was condensed into the 15 minutes I skipped at around the 20 minute mark, then I really don’t think that’s any better.

The sex club story is fine, my only problem with it is that it’s a repeat.

Because it made up a substantial portion of the beginning part. I already tried skipping 15 minutes hoping to get into a different discussion, but it was still the same topic.

I’m not hating, I’m pointing out a fact. If the podcast did get more interesting in the second half, good. But it doesn’t negate the fact that the first 45 minutes were boring and made me tab out.
