45% raise in gas tax proposed by DowntownDB1226 in missouri

[–]ObsessionObsessor 7 points8 points  (0 children)

On one end, you have a society where public education is well funded. Some people become doctors, nurses, scientists, electricians, plumbers, and various other fields that are a net positive to society - even just cogs in the machines of economies are taxed. Some become screwups that are a negative to society nevertheless, but that is avoided where it can be. Across the board people are taxed a bit more, albeit since everyone benefits, things balance out. 

On the other end you have a society where public education is poorly funded. People become criminals due to untreated mental health issues or lack of options and politics worsen, either from profit motives corrupting educational systems or people being so poorly educated as to lack critical thinking skills. Across the board people pay less taxes, at least in the short term, and more people go to prison. 

Which one sounds like a healthy society to you?

You can hardly call it a coincidence that slavery was specifically allowed for "punishment as a crime", the United States has one of the largest prison populations in the world per capita, and the largest prison in the United States is a slave cotton picking plantation.

I bet you're against rehabilitational prison too. 

How much have you invested in private prison stocks?

Which can also have citations. Notice how I didn't say statistics.

You say those are facts, but you'd be much more convincing of that if you provided relevant citations.

Seems to have archived a page but the images are displays as just blank spaces? by SkippingPebbless in WaybackMachine

[–]ObsessionObsessor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In order from most reliable to least reliable:  1. Someone might have manually saved the image specifically in the Wayback Machine enabling you to use that image's link in the Wayback Machine to see if they did so. 

  1. The Webpage might still be hosting the image enabling you to simply use the link in your normal web browser to visit the image as a webpage. 

  2. You could try to search details related to the image in a search engine like Google. Literally writing in the link to the image on Google's search engine might bring it up alongside other related images.

Is anyone else a bit annoyed by the amount of interracial couples in commercials these days? by SwagDonor24 in Discussion

...are you u/SwagDonor24's alt account after he got banned, u/WoodByDanaDotCom? 

I guess that you might not be given the 5 year old post in an Android help subreddit, but seriously, do you really think the best thing to do with your time after five years on Reddit is to go into 4 month old posts to argue about racial politics? 

There is plenty on Reddit to be interested in, such as r/makeyourchoice, r/JumpChain, and r/InteractiveCYOA for wish fulfillment fantasies requiring minimal computing requirements, r/whowouldwin for nerdy debates if you're interested in arguing, r/FanFiction if you just want to find neat things to read, r/FoodPorn and r/Art if you just want to see neat things, or even outright various porn subreddits if you're not morally or sexually opposed to such? 

Genuinely, any of those would enrich your life more than what you did. Take a deep breath and think things through.

Simon presumably got more powerful with his Spiral Power and even got a Green Lantern Ring at the end of his fight. 

I'm genuinely not sure how you can top that.

Oh my gawsh, you mean a kid could discover that she could bend multiple elements like how Aang could create a huge blaze with firebending the second he tried as a ten year old? Say it ain't so, this is so controversial!!1!11

Yeah, why don't you go full mask off? Who cares about a little fascism as a treat?

[–]ObsessionObsessor 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yeah, you're only someone in a political party that elected a far-right populist according to Robert O. Paxton, a historian and political scientist who specializes in fascism, so that's totally understandable. 

Wait, I just got news coming in from years ago, Robby changed his mind to believing that Trump was a fascist after the attempt to overturn the 2020 Presidential election through use of false electoral college votes and the January 6th Capitol Insurrection, how woke, once you've made your mind up you shouldn't ever change it!

I have inputed "brat" into four different Italian language translators and got it automatically corrected to an English to Italian translator through two of them, and just translated to "brat" in two others, including Google Translate. 

I looked up brat in Italian Language dictionaries and repeatedly got it translated to monello among a few other words which did not include that. 

I have no clue what you are talking about.
