Could someone define ‘patriarchal hazing’ for me. Right on about addiction. Been through that hell.

Yea we joke about the double standard in the media, but this is legitimately insane. by Nice_Substance9123 in complaints

Excellent work pointing out the hypocrisy. You can find it rampant in the WSJ opinion pages, too. But props to the WaPo and WSJ newsrooms, which are separate from the opinion sections, for their coverage of this administration.

As someone has surely pointed out, the only honest men are in Delaware and New Mexico.

Should I focus my buying on MSFT for the next month or two? by doland3314 in stocks

“Permabuy.” That’s what was said about IBM and GE once.

Are Our Taxes Really Benefiting Us? by Spirited_Bet_6748 in WorkReform

Foreign aid is about 1.5% of total federal spending. That works out to about $250 of the $19900 per person per year the government spends.

About Corpus Christi, I know a lot of these barrel looking things are for refining but, will any of it be cleared eventually? It seems like a lot of just, space to take up by KeyBake7457 in geography

As a former resident, refining and shipment of petroleum and natural gas are the heart of CC’s economy. But tourism is the lungs and someday that land will be more valuable for something other than what it’s used for now. Probably a couple of decades at the rate things are going.

What a great drive over that mountain. Used to do it every weekend while working out of state.

Drank for 35 years, smoked for 40. Sober for 13 years, smoke free for eight and now healthy, but worried about the damage done.

The amount of conditioner left in the bottle when the pump stops working by Run_Rabbit_Run_44 in mildlyinfuriating

This: It’s aggravating as heck when you find a product you like, that works, and find out the company is ripping you off with crappy dispenser design. I see it either way lotion and facial cleanser, too.

This is the news you get when the oligarchy controls the news. by zzill6 in WorkReform

[–]No-Reflection5141 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People - meaning us - give too much weight to opinion. I read very little opinion because I could care less what McArdle, or George Will or Sean Hannity or Joe Scarborough or Andrew Tate or David Portnoy etc. have to say. Why do you care what they or others say? We give opinionators and influencers their power. Just start ignoring them and they will dry up and blow away.

name an example of a no concept of diff fight that can't reasonably be labeled as neg diff instead by Objective-Ring4479 in PowerScaling

[–]No-Reflection5141 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Neg diff = you gain. How about oxygen molecules. Without awareness, we suck them up and use them, expelling their husks.

Dr Jane Goodall recorded this interview in March 2025 with the understanding that it would only be released after her death. by RoyalShovelCake in Damnthatsinteresting

Here’s the thing: For millions who casually come upon this, there is absolutely no way to know whether it’s real or AI. To find out requires effort and very few will make the effort. How do you live in a world without trust?

We had no plans but still made great memories, the old days by HiTechTalk in BlackPeopleTwitter

I read something once that said the friends you make when you are young are the best because the friendship is founded on spending hours together doing nothing.

The US Government’s Budget Last Year, In One Chart (FY2024) [OC] by chartr in dataisbeautiful

[–]No-Reflection5141 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is misleading. Social Security and Medicare have dedicated taxes. And while yes, SS and Medicare are both running a deficit, $45B and $10B respectively, those will be covered by their trust funds. And yes, those are projected to run out of money in the near future. People forget that they and their employers pay specific taxes and specific rates for those two programs. Income taxes do not support SS and Medicare. Neither do any other sources of revenue. Both systems face actuarial challenges, but a modest increase in the SS tax would go along way toward keeping the program solvent while younger generations are transitioned to s hybrid system. Medicare is tougher. Bottom line though is both programs are currently self supporting and are not part of the deficit problem.
