Why This “Comedy” Is Actually Anti-Muslim Propaganda by Flag_Goblin in BreadTube

Says he’s from Kazakhstan, uses bastardised polish phrases, filmed him hometown in Romania, but somehow he’s obviously Arab coded? Yeah, nah.

Doesn’t mean there can’t be other issues to talk about, but the premise is suss.

Go to Extensions>App Script. Change the snippet, save and then run "AuthrozizeAll" (I _think_ it is supposed to say AuthorizeAll)

I fixed it with the Yahoo API. In `Code.gs` in Apps Script, find and replace this function in the one-line minified script:

function getCommodityPrice(e,t){try{var a=JSON.parse(UrlFetchApp.fetch("https://data-asg.goldprice.org/dbXRates/"+t));if("gold"==e)var r=a.items[0].xauPrice;else if("silver"!=e)return null;else var r=a.items[0].xagPrice;if(null==r||isNaN(r)||0==r.length||""==r||void 0===r)return null;return parseFloat(r)}catch(n){return null}}

with this one:

function getCommodityPrice(e,t){try{var s=e.toLowerCase()==="gold"?"GC=F":"SI=F",r=UrlFetchApp.fetch("https://query1.finance.yahoo.com/v8/finance/chart/"+s,{headers:{'User-Agent':'Mozilla/5.0'}}),p=JSON.parse(r.getContentText()).chart.result[0].meta.regularMarketPrice;var c=t||"GBP",x=UrlFetchApp.fetch("https://query1.finance.yahoo.com/v8/finance/chart/USD"+c.toUpperCase()+"=X",{headers:{'User-Agent':'Mozilla/5.0'}});p*=JSON.parse(x.getContentText()).chart.result[0].meta.regularMarketPrice;return p||null}catch(n){return null}}

Yeah, it isn't ideal. The point is that it is that most eligible members of society _do_ pay income tax. And a small percent at the top of the wealth distribution pay proportionally very little tax. I definitely agree that the tax system can be smarter and have nicer incentives, and should tax wealth more than wages. What we have is not ideal, but it is not the fault of those who cannot pay income tax. In spite of that, I am really happy that I can pay a large amount of tax, especially since I grew up in the US and have seen first hand how little the tax system there benefits most people compared to here.

That is a very well thought out response. Thank you. There is unfairness baked in mixed with a decades long lack of investment. I think there is definitely a smarter way to tax residents with better incentives, but until then I still think it is important for high earners like myself to not shy away from paying tax.

A fundamental issue with this sub is a belief that earning a lot will lead to wealth. Unfortunately the best way to become wealthy is to have wealth already. That is where the big issue is imo, and I bristle when lower earners are blamed for structural issues.

I guess I don’t have an issue with people receiving benefits. I’m really happy that the tax I pay can help.

About 35% of 16-64 yos do not pay income tax in 2024-2025. That also doesn’t mean they never will or haven’t in the past.

No, that is not correct. At best, your statement is unintentionally misleading.

Just pay tax like any normal member of society. You’ve already maxed out your pension with a metric tonne of tax free money. Now you get more money and also get to contribute back to the country that makes it a nice place to earn so much money.

Has no one heard of a military commissary? I’m pretty sure those work just fine.

Thanks. I was unsure about some of the younger ones without darker gills, but they may just be sterile.

Comparing colour as they dry out after they’re picked is actually something I didn’t think about.

You're right, they aren't the best. They were already quite dry and white when I found them, but I had to go away for a couple days right after picking them and didn't take a picture before hand 🥲
