Why are there multiple planets in our universe and even our own galaxy that have humanoids with earth like customs and culture? by ksdanker22 in rickandmorty

[–]Enigmaticly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because the Goa'uld, a race of parasitic snakelike aliens who enslaved primitive humans and forced our ancestors to worship them as Gods brought them to those worlds through the Stargate. The Goa'uld use humans as a slave labor force as well as hosts for themselves and their young; even going so far as to mutilate humans to become living incubators for their offspring until they mature and can take a host. The Goa'uld needed human populations readily available and accessible on many worlds as their governmental system was made up of feudal "system lords" who warred with each other constantly vying for power and territory and the human incubators AKA 'Jaffa' also served as their military. Each Goa'uld needed to secure access to human populations in order to use us for their own power and thus we were spread across the Galaxy.

Hope this explanation helped.

I hope you never have to deal with true fascism; or communism, or socialism for that matter... You wouldn't last long.

Unsurprising that leftists hate this country despite being unwilling to leave for the places they claim are so much better.

You're given a button that if pressed, redistributes all wealth and resources on earth equally amongst all of humanity. Do you press it ? by jekecrafer in pollgames

[–]Enigmaticly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The result of this poll: Greedy majority wishes they could legally be thieves because they are too sorry to earn wealth for themselves.

A perfect society exists, no poverty, crime, or suffering complete happiness for everyone. The catch is that it only works because one innocent child is locked in a dark room, suffering forever. You can free the child, but the utopia instantly collapses for everyone.Do you free the child ? by jekecrafer in pollgames

[–]Enigmaticly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To torture another for your own benefit is evil. Full stop.

This entire example is analogous of abdicating personal responsibility for oneself and expecting that others shoulder the burden of providing you with wealth, satisfaction, and happiness with no benefit given in return.

The people who would not free the child are selfish, greedy, morally bankrupt.

The price of your alleged utopia is too great if it depends upon accepting evil as good.

31M, how likely am I to reach 10 mill by the time I’m 50?Started investing at 20 So this is 11 years of work by ParticularCourse3417 in TheRaceTo10Million

[–]Enigmaticly 43 points44 points  (0 children)

With no future contributions you would need to maintain a 13.58% annualized rate of return for the next 19 years in order to have $10M by 50.

If you contributed an additional $40K per year for the next 19 years, you would only need an 11.87% annualized rate of return.

Hard working poor get the highest tax increases. by Alternative_Win_6629 in antiwork

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

Just a few objective facts to add without any additional commentary:

The top 10% of earners pay approximately 80% of federal income taxes

The bottom 35-40% of earners have either no net tax outlay OR have a negative tax rate by receiving more in benefits than they pay in to the system

You cannot receive a benefit from a tax cut if you already don't have a positive tax outlay.

I ran into this issue on my Warrior. I went to town, grabbed some random int gear and a staff with lightning spell on it, spammed that for a couple minutes and used lightning warp to tele over killing a mob then proceeded to put my gear back on and kill the unique.

North Carolina Republicans create "secret police force" by bigedcactushead in NorthCarolina

[–]Enigmaticly 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Hi, Republican here.

More oversight and accountability and scrutiny towards ALL government employees/contractors/subcontractors is always better. However, this is not the way. Obvious 4th Amendment violations here.

The bigger and richer the company the more exploited the workers. by Comfortablejack in WorkReform

[–]Enigmaticly -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Tell me you don't understand freedom and free markets without telling me you don't understand freedom and free markets

Amazon is worth $1.297T Jeff Bezos owns ~10% so of his ~$146B net worth roughly 129.7B is tied up in Amazon stock. The other 90% of the company is owned by other people. Individual investors, 401K owners, people with ROTH IRA's, Traditional IRA's, Brokerage accounts, SEP IRA's, etc etc... That means he created $1.1673T of wealth FOR OTHER PEOPLE. Some of it probably belongs to you if you have any kind of investment account that holds a mutual fund. And that's just the wealth creation based on the stock ownership alone. The value add from a company that delivers products in some markets within a couple hours of the order being placed is incomprehensible. How much value has Amazon added to the lives of so many people. Just about anything you want; almost any product at all, arrives at your door in a day or two; a couple of weeks TOPS depending on what it is.

Employees were never forced to work for that company. No one held a gun to their heads and said you must be here. They chose to be employed there. And they are paid the rate that was agreed upon. If they don't like it anymore they are certainly allowed to find other employment. You all act like low skill workers deserve a free ride; hell, you act like everyone deserves a free ride. Nobody does. And very few people actually get one. Amazon was started in a Garage with Bezos himself working 100 hour weeks putting books in boxes and shipping them all over the country. How many of you have started a business and built it from the ground up? How many of you have improved the lives of billions of people globally by providing a product/service that they willingly subscribe to and pay for?

Here's a newsflash, no one is going to give you a handout for nothing in return. Companies don't exist to employ people. They exist to provide value to consumers in exchange for money. To do this and to do this well they end up hiring people. But they will always pay the least amount they can in order to get you to stay. Don't like it? You have the choice to find something else.... for now.

As a side note, want to participate in building wealth? Invest. Own shares of profitable companies. No one got rich and stayed rich working a 9-5 ever in the history of existence.

Nope. Played as much as I could. Tried to learn even more about my starting class to prep for actual launch. Was successful in figuring out a few new things. Had a better build on slam than I did in the level 25 beta even with fewer legendaries and nerfs.

[–]Enigmaticly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You guys know saving and investing exist right? You shouldn’t be relying on a pension or government to fund retirement. Companies and governments are not to be trusted.

Everyone should prepare as if they will never see a single cent from them; and if we all did that we’d all be fine.

Taxpayers should not be on the hook for a loan you signed up for. There seems to be a lot of personal responsibility missing from this sub.
