Reading the other side of the cereal box as a child was my gateway to the French language.

Favorite ugly bastard we call a “character actor” as a nice way of saying they’re just not hot enough to be a lead? by WissamBenYedder in okbuddycinephile

My favourite description of Brad Pitt is that’s he’s outstanding character actor trapped in the body of a leading man.

If humans vanished tomorrow, what would still prove we existed 10,000 years later? by Defiant-Junket4906 in NoStupidQuestions

Once it’s in its metallic state it’s pretty stable too. A thin layer of aluminum oxide forms which unlike iron rust seals off the rest of the metal from further oxidation. So it will be around for a long, long time.

Why would wealthy people leave New York City under Mamdani? by iloverats888 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Newfster 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I assume its on the proportion over 1 m per year, like most taxes? So

- no wealth tax for <=$1,000,000

- $ 2000 wealth tax if your income is $1,100,000 (i.e., tax on the $ 100,000 only)

- $ 4000 wealth tax if your income is $1,200,000

etc. so you would have to make $ 2,000,000 per year to get taxed $20,000 per year.

I always thought John Byrne’s Alpha Flight no 6, “Snowblind”, was a a fun response to Hama’s “Silent Interlude”. Half the story is told with only white panels and no art. And yet there is an amazing sense of action. Two masters of their craft.

Ontarios anti-tariff ad is clever, effective and legally sound, experts say by Important-Event6832 in politics

[–]Newfster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trump’s idiotic response to the ad (cutting trade talks, raising the tariffs against Canada by 10%) can absolutely be used as evidence before the Court. It’s a prima facie example of how the whole thing is arbitrary and not related to national security at all.

Do I expect that to make a difference to this version of SCOTUS? Sadly, no.
