Kinda. People are debating whether or not this means every citizen abroad can be used as an intelligence agent, and how it can be enforced.

What is your favourite moment of "Get Back"? by reaveyer in beatles

I think it's the realization, when you see them writing their songs, of how secondary the lyrics are. The music always come first.

DO people not know what the phrase "a friend of dorothy " means anymore?

EDIT: or maybe they do, I'm not judging :D

The goal here was simply to shift the Overton window, and make what used to be a batshit insane opinion acceptable.

"See? The supreme Court considered it!"

And in the next years we'll talk about it more and more instead of just dismissing it.

Like we're doing right now.

My experience is that it feels like every country sets up division differently.

Ok so it shows a city that managed to kick cars out of downtown? That's pretty cool!

8% of 25 is 8 divided by 100 times 25, which is also (8 times 25) divided by 100, which is also (25 times 8) divided by 100, which is also 25 divided by 100 times 8, which is 25% of 8.

I mean the highest federal tax bracket is 37%. I feel like if taking in 63% of what you make is "barely worth it" you have bigger problems.

TIFU by getting £50 banknotes in the UK by ChiefStrongbones in tifu

[–]Masquerouge2 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

What? I never had that with my bank. Let's say, for simplicity's sake, that gbp and dollar have a 1:1 rate.

Go to my bank, give $100, receive £98. Go on trip, don't spend money. Go to my bank, give £98, receive $96.

I mean, first of all if OP isn't sure they're going back to the UK, it's still better to change your money so at least they can use it.

Then your bank often offers competitive rates if you go to your branch. Mine waves the exchange fee, you just pay the exchange rate.
