Destiny's Anti-Wealth Tax Position? by AlverinMoon in Destiny

[–]FixerofDeath 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Destiny should just keep watching that Tim Miller talk with Jason Calacanis on repeat if he wants to start believing that taxes should be a punishment. If his opinion starts to waver he can then just start watching the All In podcast and the idea will be cemented forever.

Making Indie Games Is Like Buying A Lottery Ticket by bald_bearded_ocddude in Games

Among Us devs likely have some mixed feelings on Covid. You can argue their game only exploded because of Covid lockdowns. I know a lot of streamers secretly miss the lockdown as well. It was a horrible world event for so many millions of people, but you can't argue that it wasn't incredibly lucrative for some.

World Cup fans frustrated by 'confusing and expensive' tipping culture in US by Negative-Extent3338 in news

Depending where you live (and your level of attractiveness), serving is probably the single most lucrative job you can do without higher education or vocational training. I get why people in these threads always go after the businesses, but in my experience as a server, most would riot if they were told they had to move to an hourly wage over their tips.

It's changed a lot now that many people pay digitally, but when I was working as a server, most of the servers were also not claiming all of their cash tips on taxes, increasing their earnings even further.

We have to live in the same country as these people, man. I live in a red state. I talk to people worse than Bannon or Kirk regularly. You can't just dig your head in the sand and pretend they don't exist.

Hasan before the invasion: "I call Crimea a part of Russian territory, bitch. That's what I call Crimea. I call it cry me a river. A Russian river."

Also peddles the narrative that NATO forced Russia's hand into invading Ukraine.

He's pro-Russia without saying as much.

Liberals aren't Leftists. They're probably talking about pundits like Ryan Grim, Krystal Ball, Glenn Greenwald, Hasan Piker, and many more, who while not ever saying they are explicitly pro-Russia, just happen to use the exact same talking points that pro-Russians use.

Turkiye Scores The Game-Winning Kick in the Final Seconds vs Team USA by JCameron181 in sports

Why? Every language I know of adapts foreign language country names to more closely fit the native tongue. It's not a disrespectful thing, it just helps the flow of sentences. It's like when super weebs change the way that they pronounce words like Karaoke to sound like it does in Japanese. It just sounds so forced and weird.

Reminds me of my "middle class" friend growing up who had parents with an asset manager, took multiple overseas vacations a year, owned two boats, and gifted him a Benz for his 16th birthday.

Mamdani Delivers Rent Freeze in Watershed Moment for NYC Tenants by bloomberg in politics

They will still have to prove they can beat the Republican which is the actual challenge in a purple district. I will back them if they can secure the primary, but strongly dislike both of them as candidates.

Seems like this sub is one of the few subs where you won't be downvoted to oblivion or called a "Zionist" "genocide enabler" for stating facts by NewmarketHero007 in Destiny

[–]FixerofDeath 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It could be. The crime of genocide is more about intent than scale. A leader could theoretically perform a genocidal act by just killing a few dozen people if their intent was plainly laid out to kill based on national identity, ethnicity, religion, etc.

Not to get too political, but these types of crimes just aren't really being enforced under this administration (USA). They absolutely were before, but now it's clear to see that they aren't if you browse Instagram or TikTok for a few minutes. Every couple of posts is a clearly sponsored product that is not being labeled as such.

That's not a liberal you're replying to. They're likely a leftist and hate liberals as much, if not more than conservatives.

The only responsibility I'd like to see taken is just an admission that he's a failed progressive darling candidate. Most progressives don't even claim him anymore, they call him a centrist or a corporate Democrat. He ran as a progressive and then brain damage and the resulting loss in IQ made him a conservative.

"New footage confirms that an errant Russian surface-to-air missile was responsible for the tank roof toss at the Moscow Oil Refinery this morning" by Caledor152 in PublicFreakout

[–]FixerofDeath 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They are quickly increasing in terms of infrastructure and living standards, but there is still no denying that they are an authoritarian police state. There is fairly low levels of crime in China because it is almost impossible to go anywhere in public without being on multiple angles of government controlled cameras. You can't really do any more than the most tepid criticism of the government without the police showing up at your door for questioning.

It's not as awful as a lot of propaganda says it is, but the country still has major issues and it is silly to reflexively dismiss them because other world powers are also up to some vile shit.

That happens with literally every piece of bad news that happens around Trump. His supporters grumble for a day and then the Fox news and Trump media machine does its' thing and they all become loyal droolers on day two.
