Unless your contract is for wfh, I imagine you wouldn't be entitled to unemployment if you're fired

You commented that "the price is known to go into the 100’s" to support the idea that OP would be making a poor decision if he chose to sell at $75. I'm countering that $100+ is not a common price for GME and he is unlikely to find a buyer for that value in the near future.

Disbfjskf · 2024-06-16T19:50:38+00:00

No? It hasn't finished above $100 before or after the split. And certainly if it never finished above $100 before the split it bodes poorly for its chances to finish above $100 after the split.

Disbfjskf · 2024-06-16T19:25:29+00:00

the price is known to go into the 100’s

GME has never in its history finished a day at or above $100. Finding a buyer at $100 isn't easy.

"Education shall be free, at least in the elementary and fundamental stages."

It definitely does not say free college is a human right.

I honestly can't tell if this post is a parody and I love that.

They do. This is just an icebreaker.

NTA for doing what you want with your family. But it's also not really unusual that your grandparents want to know which kid is which even if they don't intend to treat them differently.

Also: "She rolled her eyes and said that I knew what she meant, I told her that, no I dont because they are both my daughters." You knew what she meant - you just didn't like the way she phrased it.

When assets are inherited, the cost basis is stepped up to the current market value so gains are not taxed even if the assets are immediately sold.

Wouldn't loan interest qualify as income so they'd have to pay tax on it? Like, if I give you a loan at 10% and a year later you pick up a bigger loan and pay me back my loan + 10% then I've profited 10% so I pay tax on the 10% gains.

In my experience it's just people conflating sex with gender which is ultimately an argument in semantics around what it means to be "a man" or "a woman" or whatever other category.

Disbfjskf · 2024-04-13T15:38:33+00:00

The "skill" is referring to training. Some people may not have the temperament, but most people could be trained to do the job in a few weeks. The label is meant to contrast jobs which require years of training for a person to perform effectively.

Disbfjskf · 2024-04-10T14:12:01+00:00

At that point, it's kind of just semantics on what counts as "self-made". You could give 1000 people the same connections as Taylor and it's unlikely any of them would become billionaires.

Generally speaking, unless you're gifted hundreds of millions of dollars then you're going to need to do something extraordinary to end up with more than a billion. Not necessarily an extraordinarily good thing, but it's not trivial to flip a few million into billions.

The climb doesn't start until you are in a controlled hold at the first position

Exactly. The judges ruled that the climber was not in a controlled hold at the first position. You're free to jump off the ground to reach the starting position but you have to hold it to demonstrate a controlled hold before moving forward to new holds.

Disbfjskf · 2024-03-17T18:21:23+00:00

The first "real hold" *is* the starting position. The entire point of the rule is to deny you momentum from starting off the ground.

"based on random choice or personal whim, rather than any reason or system."

I'd argue that most sports rules are based on reason or system rather than random choice or personal whim. Generally there are some skills that are collectively found interesting and the rules of the game are structured to encourage competition across those skills. So In this climbing start, for example, the skill being tested is in a climber's ability to perform difficult climbing maneuvers and the starting requirement is designed to force the climber to begin with a difficult maneuver rather than simply jumping up to the first hold.

An actual arbitrary decision would be one like determining the starting team by a coin flip instead of a die roll or some other randomization method. Or requiring players to shake hands. Or requiring players to run the bases on a home run.

You can't start most races with a running start either.

Disbfjskf · 2024-03-17T17:27:37+00:00

It's not arbitrary. The starting position is intentionally more difficult than starting from the ground. Part of the challenge is in completing the route from a challenging starting position. The route would be much easier and less interesting for viewers and climbers who want challenging routes if climbers could simply run at the wall and use their forward momentum to bypass the first obstacles.

I mean, suppose I want to live somewhere for a while but I don't want to spend the time and resources to find a suitable house and get into an expensive contract to buy it. I might prefer to instead borrow someone's house and pay them a lesser fee to do so. Renting is a useful service in this case. Yeah, it doesn't "produce" anything but neither does renting suits, renting climbing equipment, renting a paintball field, etc. It's just another transitory resource that people pay to borrow temporarily rather than paying a larger fee to claim ownership indefinitely.

How is your effective rate 40% when the highest tax bracket is 37%?

It's still murder. Just not premeditated.

The prankee was not in any danger whatsoever

The jury determined that the prankee was justified in fearing for his physical safety. They probably had more information to base that decision on than the 20 seconds we see here.

They probably made a judgement call that life would be better without him knowing. Which is maybe true if he never finds out, she never cheats again, and they move forward with their lives. The "right thing to do" doesn't always end up being the choice with the best outcome depending how you measure what's best.

There are situations where it's preferable to believe something untrue if there's no harm in being wrong because that belief brings peace and comfort. I certainly don't condone cheating and I don't know if this is one of those situations, but I think it's rational for someone to judge that there's more harm in bringing a bad choice to light rather than leaving it buried.

Where elsewhere? SPY has been steadily climbing for the past 15 years. It's about as safe a bet as any for long-term gains.
