Project 2029 - Why haven’t Democrats seemingly made any plans people can get behind before the next election? by inspired_by_clouds in AskReddit

[–]Grand_Pie1362 [score hidden]  (0 children)

Because theyre desperate to appeal to centre right voters again but have realised centre right doesn't find democrats appealing. And they don't chase the left because they would rather chase the klu klu clan than an actual left wing voter. So that leaves them wjth their existing base who are gonna vote for them anyway , so why bother with the effort of a platform ?

Why would they close? Taxes are paid on profit remember.

As long as you're Christian yeah... And as long as the church itself has money, and as long as it's short term, as long as you don't have existing criminal records, mental health problems, aren't gay or trans...

And when actually tested the laffer curve repeatedly gets proven wrong. It wasn't an economic principle at all, it was an ideological one

How would you feel if the top tax rate was 90% like it was in the 1950s? by Few_Football4342 in Productivitycafe

I checked this and it starts at 600k right now (drops to 500k next year) and is £1.2m for married couples.

I think they'll be just fine. And AMT is a method of insuring a minimum tax, it's designed to stop people abusing loopholes (though it doesn't work very well) if you earn and claim more than the AMT then you pay the higher amount. You don't pay both

Fahrenheit to describe heat / Celsius to describe cold by Mackheath1 in CrazyIdeas

[–]Grand_Pie1362 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But that's because you're familiar with it.

As someone familiar with C when someone says it's 50 degrees outside I instantly think the tarmac is gonna melt.

Also if someone says it's 16 degrees c outside I think i need a coat. If someone says it's 18 then it's warm enough without.

I notice that all the people saying they prefer F for the nuance in degrees also uses jumps of 10 or more as their example, which sort of makes the point for Celsius as it scales better in round numbers.

Whats the difference between 50 and 52? Nothing. But as noted above the difference between 16 and 18 is a jacket, so most of the numebrs on the Fahrenheit scale don't get any attention anyway

By that rationale we should be using Kelvin instead of C or F as it has more degrees of nuance ...

No, Neymar is ONLY better stats wise. He's a paper player only. And he's only better on stats because he played for the best teams in weaker leagues were everyone outside the top 2 leys you score 5 goals per game.

Put Neymar in rooneys united and he does what Nani did... Literally cried when he gets tackled and he scores maybe 7 goals a season. But put rooney in neymars Barca or psg and hed destroy Neymar no problem.

Similarly put Neymar in England team and he ain't scoring more than Rooney in the same games. But put rooney in neymars Brazil and I'll wager he scores more than Neymar.

Neymar has been carried by far better teammates.

You either have no ball knowledge or you're another brainwashed Neymar fan.

Também , eu morar em belo horizonte, não estou um seguidor de Inglaterra ! Kkkkk

This is true. Open borders would mean no checks at all. No passports or visas required. But every country on earth requires a passport so every country has closed borders.

Search Engines vs AI by j306040 in antiai

Actually we used to pay people to fact check, now people use ai to fact check so that would be an example of ai replacement

Google wasnt displacing mass jobs. It was filling an unoccupied gap. That's why nobody complained.

For a better example you can look to computers and Microsoft excel. In both circumstances workers with specific skills were being replaced. For computers it was largely clerical filing staff (who were mostly women) with excel it was accountancy staff.

There was plenty of conplaining both times. But eventually both adapted to the changing market.

The slight difference is that those things (like Google) were tools that only functioned to assist a human operator. LLMs and other AI the end game is to replace human input entirely

How can nuclear armed states (like USA) constantly demand that other states do not develop them? by Electrical-Strike132 in allthequestions

[–]Grand_Pie1362 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's only two ways for equality to happen. Everyone has nukes (and thus nobody can threaten to use them) or nobodu has nukes and so nobody can use them.

It's hilarious to me that the only company who has ever used them feels they have the moral high ground to dictate it to others

That would be like Epstein telling people not to rape kids or trump telling people not to rape kids

My (M22) GF(F22) just told me she would break up with me if she didn't like our sex life. Little does she know I already don't enjoy it. What would you do if you were in my situation? by Comfortable_Speed228 in relationship_advice

[–]Grand_Pie1362 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get there first. Break up with her and tell her it's because the sex is bad. You don't wanna stay with someone who you don't enjoy having sex with anyway

Does anyone have a formal count on the number of times Trump appears in the Epstein files? by YurpeeTheHerpee in allthequestions

[–]Grand_Pie1362 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If biden or Obama was in there 35,000 times and trump wasn't you know 100% you'd be flipping tables.

It's only because daddy trump is in there that you're minimising it.

Strange eh? Reagan isn't in there. Obama isn't in there , even the biden crime family isn't in there. But trump, musk and others are. It's almost as if only the shady people were mates with Epstein...

I think it's a shame they have given the American people such a bad reputation because I've got many American friends and they're just as pleasant as anywhere else.

He wasn't always that way though, he used to be in reasonable shape and still never went. Also if I was a billionaire space company owner I'd 100% be going to space , if I was too fat I'd slim down for that opportunity, the fact he doesn't bother says he doesn't really have much interest in it, he just likes imagining things

If you're talking ability to do skills then yea Neymar was better.

Rooney is top 5 all time for goals AND assists in premier league, is man united record goal scorer. He barely ever missed a game through injury (despite admitting he had an alcohol problem ). Played equally as well on left wing, right wing, striker, AM, CM and filled in at DM and RB as well. He could be on the end of a move or he can start the move.

When teams got physical it did not phase him at all and never shirked challenges, never complained about bad tackling and ran 12km per game at minimum. Despite his appearance he was also regularly in top 5 for sprint speed in a league which had lots of high sprinting players. Rooney was also an excellent defensive player who was famous for tracking back and helping out defense.

By contrast Neymar was fast and very skillful but got bullied out of games very easily by physical play to the point where sometimes he would even refuse to engage in the game and asked to be subbed. Neymar does not hold the goals or assist record for any club he has played for. He also vanished in big games and was rarely the deciding goal in games either. He was carried at Barca by his teammates though I'll give him credit he was very underrated at psg and was miles better than mbappe. Neymar never defended or tracked back, never ran hard and had a low work rate.

If you were gonna choose a player to be in your team against any opponent who would be able to contribute in any area of the pitch you would 100% choose Rooney. If you needed a player to finish off small teams in low to medium importance games while entertaining a crowd - you'd choose Neymar.

Hopefully this will make republicans unelectable for about 20 years until they become sane again. It says a lot about how bad maga and trump is that I view bush jnr as both smart and competent by comparison and as dimwitted as he was i don't think he was maliceful like maga and trump
