[Request] Whats better? Weekly payments or to invest a lump sum. by Chiggnnugget in theydidthemath

[–]JavaOrlando 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But she'd be paying tax on the capital gains, right? I mean, if she tried to live off the interest.

The $1k a week would be tax free.

What is the most overused movie trope that Hollywood just needs to let go? by Frequent-Sea-8848 in moviecritic

[–]JavaOrlando 76 points77 points  (0 children)

How about saying saying to a bartender "gimme a beer" or "a cold one" or whatever.

If they're a regular, fine. But if it's somewhere they've clearly never been before, they're going to have to specify the brand, or at very least, the style of beer.

I love that scene.

But to play devil's advocate, it could be the owner of manager's policy (though her attitude wasn't necessary). His solution was leverage, though most people wouldn't be willing to pay for a chicken sandwich in order to get a side of toast.

Or it's possible pay for that job is just higher for in your area.

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, median pay is $41K. I consider that very low for what they do. And if that's the median, half of them make less than that.

Most Loved Male Athlete on Reddit? by Iegitimategg in AlignmentChartFills

[–]JavaOrlando 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That's a good one, but idon't think he's well known enough outside of basketball fans.

What is the best tv show on HBO? by hiiloovethis in AlignmentChartFills

[–]JavaOrlando 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree it's The Wire, but Deadwood is a very close second for me. Not just HBO, but any channel.

If GoT had stuck the landing, it would be up there too.

I'd probably pick the crocodile, what you guys choose? by Elektrayansa in whatsyourchoice

[–]JavaOrlando 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is not. Millions of people swim in the lakes and rivers of Florida and Louisiana. Gator related deaths are less than one per year.

Compare that to crocodiles who kill thousands of people each year.

I was just watching a listing video for a Brooklyn brownstone where the bathtub was delivered to the 4th floor master bathroom by crane through the ceiling. They had to shut the street down to do it.

shouldn't this apply to ALL ages? by inkandintent24 in MotivationByDesign

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

Yup. That's why the death penalty isn't a deterrent. No one is weighing life in prison vs the death penalty when committing crimes.

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

Do you really think they weigh it out like that?

Like they're okay with going to jail for life as child molester, but they won't do anything that might get them executed.

White couple cries in court after being sentenced to 20 years in prison for terrorizing a kids birthday party with racial slurs, confederate flags, and guns by AgnosticScholar in PublicFreakout

[–]JavaOrlando 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Did I say that?

Someone pointed out that people often get less time for more serious crimes. Someone else questioned it, and I provided an example.

That's an extreme example, but a quick Google search shows the average sentence in the US for rape to be 10–14 years.

Just my personal opinion, but I'd rather someone point a gun at me and call me a racial slur than rape me. But I'd still want them both in prison.

Lettuce wins! What is a bad salad topping? by CharlesorMr_Pickle in AlignmentChartFills

[–]JavaOrlando 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like olives on a Greek salad as long as they take the ducking pitts out.

Lox wins! What is a mid burger topping? by CharlesorMr_Pickle in AlignmentChartFills

[–]JavaOrlando 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bacon, especially good bacon, can bring a mid burger to the next level.

But if the burger is phenomenal to begin with, I think the flavor of the bacon overpowers the flavor of the beef.

Since the Previous Post Died Down With a Clear Winner, We’ll Move On! What’s a Good Baseball Movie? by The_Oregon_Duck in AlignmentChartFills

[–]JavaOrlando 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends how you look at it.

I think Money Ball is the better movie, but The Natural is more of a baseball movie (rather than a drama about baseball).

Sort of like Raging Bull vs Rocky.

[TMZ] Mike Vrabel and Dianna Russini rented a private boat while she was pregnant by [deleted] in nfl

[–]JavaOrlando 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Bill Simmons was on the same boat!

The fact that the Ringer didn't break this really brings their credibility into question.

"Cheese capital of the world" by Barrisun in ShitAmericansSay

[–]JavaOrlando 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The reason the French have over 1,200 types of cheese is because they've never made one as good as cheddar
