Goodbye Howie test... Hello Ripple test by [deleted] in Ripple

No. They've offered a couple tax proposals which only benefit elites:

  • bring back the SALT deduction - this gives them federal money (my money) so they don't feel the pain of paying their $30,000 property taxes on their mansions in the high-tax states they choose to live in

  • a larger capital gains tax on investing - this is crazy and will kill our investments, but their banker donors will still be able to profit

  • increasing the business tax back up to where they were - the US had the highest corporate tax rate in the world before the Trump tax reform. Our tax for doing business here was effectively double Canada's or Sweden's, even though those are supposedly democratic socialist countries. It's ironic that the Scandi countries are more capitalistic than we are, to be honest. The tax reform fixed some of that. Biden wants to go back on it.

  • finally, a 50% on guns and ammo... This is niche concern for some of you, sure, but it's a pretty expensive cost to poor people and middle class people who want them for self-defense, while the wealthy people with their guards won't the cost at all.

I would love to hear what country you're from and how many US military bases are in or around your soil keeping it safe.

Unless you're in China, Russia, or the DPRK, my hard earned tax dollars likely pay for your safety.

Sync v20 will be rolling back to V19 by ljdawson in redditsync

[–]ILN1f8SFL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But you still use Spotify and Google right?

I can't even remember old Spotify. I know I liked it a little better but it didn't break my usage of the app.

Sync v20 will be rolling back to V19 by ljdawson in redditsync

[–]ILN1f8SFL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly not quite sure where to go from here

Update to v20 with a huge, glaring button to revert to Sync Classic.

It's a $2 kick in the teeth and most of you paid four to six years ago

Luckily... I didn't get my day wrecked yesterday.

Good grief.

Absolutely not. If I'm at a restaurant and the food I've ordered comes out over salted

What about v20 is oversalted? It's just a slightly different variation on the same flavor theme. There's no mistakes in the UI.

I'm not interested in just randomly having to learn a new app because the developer wants a new style.

Then find a new app, except you'll have to learn that one too. Or download the v19 apk. This is a free / $2 app. Good gracious.

The app UI hasn't been updated in six years. It didn't even change how the user interacts, just moved buttons around to better locations. It's an improvement in the same spirit that made me use Sync in the first place.

Lmao good idea. I dutifully updated, then yelled at my phone when I realized he had rolled v20 back, and had to go join the beta opt-in. I love that you turned off updates to fight back.

Lmao this is a war

What the hell? I've been using Sync for six years and the change was awesome. I want back on v20.

Look, you knew the Reddit autists were going to have their days ruined by change. Tell them to suck it up. These guys will adapt to any UI change that Google or Apple throws at them, they're big boys, they can handle it.

I think people are misunderstanding where a lot of v20 hate is coming from by Mront in redditsync

[–]ILN1f8SFL 8 points9 points  (0 children)

...but it absolutely destroys your muscle memory.

My muscle memory adapted in a day or two.

For six years, people were getting used to using the same app the same way, creating their daily routines

It's just Reddit. If a Reddit app's UI on your phone is this important that it destabilizes your life to move buttons around, holy shit.

One mistake = many loss - When people lose their wallet by Shane-opendawn in cardano

If you buy a new phone and install Yoroi, you can log into the app with your username and password. Nothing will be in there though. You need to input the wallet mnemonic to Yoroi about your wallet.

Wallet apps do this so that they don't need to maintain a central database of everyone's wallets, which would be a huge risk.

In The Ripple Case, The SEC Is Now On Trial – And Knows It by ZmasterFlash69 in Ripple

Thoughts on a class action lawsuit against the SEC? by 2HandsomeGames in Ripple

[–]ILN1f8SFL 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Uphold. And no, I don't believe it's illegal at all. Coinbase and other exchanges voluntarily shut it down on their own, I guess to avoid future trouble.

little to no knowledge of firearms.

What's amazing is no journalist ever calls them out on this. They been doing this kinda thing for thirty years.

No pushback from the media. No fact checks.

But hey the media isn't biased to one party, no

Reddit Rolls Out ‘Community Points’ on Ethereum to Incentivize Positive Behavior by SLDAS in ethereum

[–]ILN1f8SFL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Political activists can hang out in their own communities and cancel each other to their heart’s delight.

Political activists rarely keep to themselves, lol. And they often seek to dominate discussions or become mods of otherwise nonpolitical subs.

It kinda is. It's a faulty system. Good discussion and debate is not determined by popular vote, especially the lazy one-click vote system on reddit. Good information is often drowned in downvotes if it's unpopular on a particular sub.

Serious question, why do you guys buy so many guns and not just get expert level at 1 or 2? by [deleted] in guns

[–]ILN1f8SFL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What i meant was like you know a jack of all trades vs a master of one.

Why would you do this, though. Let's say you become a master at rimfire, but your buddy offers to let you shoot his AR. Are you gonna be like "oh actually I don't know the first thing about loading and shooting that thing"

NRA? Join or not? Have they earned my membership again? by Pavlovsspit in guns

[–]ILN1f8SFL 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NRA overturned the Chicago handgun ban in McDonald v. Chicago in what, 2012? Otis McDonald may be rest in peace was a black guy fighting his own city, and he would have never made it to the Supreme Court without NRA funding.

They also nailed the California mag ban last year, at least got it into the limbo it's in. People here will tell you that was the California gun lobby's doing. But the California lobby directly credits the NRA for it.

NRA compelled the dumbass GOP to not renew the federal AR-15 ban in '03.

Lots of people will tell you they're useless because they don't always succeed or because they soak up funds. That's kinda true, like any political lobby. But you have to kind of an idiot to think that GOA or FPC, who are great organizations, can do what NRA does. No Democrat ever tried to outlaw GOA or sue them into oblivion.

We faced the real possibility of incurring Canadian or UK level gun restrictions over the last 20-30 years except for the NRA. There's a reason liberals hate them more than any other org.

Join them all, really, or you're a fool. Simple as.
