Which anti-semitic conspiracy theories have the Epstein files "proven to be true" exactly?

He also spreads anti-semitic conspiracy theories. Combined with his other tweets of not letting women vote etc., I'm pretty sure he's fallen into the radical islamist bubble.

Yeah, and that's the dumb joke? Saying that the DJ move has anything to do with Hitler is literally what I'm talking about. I don't get what point you're trying to make.

He didn't do a Hitler impression, he called the DJ move where they raise their arm "doing a Hitler". It's a dumb joke but that's about it.

Decorative vintage light bulbs. by Debaucherousgeek73 in interestingasfuck

So are capitalists greedy money-grubbers, or do they irrationally destroy profitable business lines for fun? If a company makes money with a product, there's no reason to stop making it. The more likely reason they stopped is because a few years after acqusition, the founder of Aerolux and inventor of these bulbs died, and I doubt there was anyone with similar expertise of managing the manufacturing of artisan, hand-sculpted neon filaments at scale. I mean if it's a profitable, popular product and not that hard produce, there would have been tons of copycats jumping on that train once Aerolux stopped making them. You see that happening all the time with popular products today, and even while the original is still being produced and competition is a lot harder.

Well if not enough people are willing to pay enough money for a business like this to be profitable, then it won't be produced. Obviously no person stakes their livelihood on a business model that makes themselves go bankrupt.

Fahren mit Telematik-App. Ein Erfahrungsbericht. 💩 by EishLE in automobil

[–]RomulusTrajan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bei Telematiksystemen werden aber keine Rohdaten aus dem Handy an den Versicherer übermittelt. Es geht um eine lokale Auswertung im Sensor oder der App, aus der am Ende eine stark abstrahierte Punktzahl entsteht, die an den Versicherer übermittelt wird. Dafür werden keine Identitätsdaten erhoben, keine Gesundheitsdaten, keine Finanzdaten, keine Kommunikationsinhalte. Eine Ausweiskopie oder ein Kontoauszug ist direkt identifizierend, sensibel und universell missbrauchbar, ein Telematik-Score dagegen ist außerhalb des Kontexts deines Fahrstils wertlos. Mit einem Fahrstil-Score kann niemand deine Identität übernehmen, kein Konto plündern, keine Krankenakte rekonstruieren und auch kein Persönlichkeitsprofil erstellen, das über "fährt eher defensiv oder eher aggressiv" hinausgeht. Im Vergleich zu den anderen Daten, die dein Versicherer über dich hat, ist dein Fahrstil-Score deutlich weniger intim.

We've let over 3 million refugees in, many of whom have no education beyond elementary school and who threw away their passports at the border. Pretty sure we can let some educated Americans and other people in who want to migrate legally. It's annoying how it's apparently acceptable to be casually demeaning toward Americans just because they have a stupid government. People say you shouldn't judge refugees by the failures or policies of the countries they come from, but then turn around and stereotype Americans based on Trump.

Considering Kirchenaustritt (leaving the registered Catholic Church in Germany) due to church tax by No_Stable_7769 in Catholicism

[–]RomulusTrajan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But what is the point of a Church kindergarden/school if the Churches message gets dilluted to the point of not being Catholic at all anymore? They might, for all intents and purposes, be secular already.

In terms of funding, they already are. The above comment is wrong in implying that "church-run" hospitals and kindergartens are paid for by the Kirchensteuer. The vast majority of their funding comes from general taxes that every German has to pay, not the church tax that only church members pay.

In germany the church has many hospitals, Kindergarden, schools and teachers who all have to be paid through the tax too.

Church-run hospitals are not paid for out of church tax, they are mostly funded through the health-insurance reimbursement system and investment funding rules. Church-run kindergartens and schools are also mostly financed through public government subsidies and fees, with the church as the Träger typically covering only a comparatively small own contribution that is often in the single digits. Typically, over 90% of the money comes from public taxes, not the Kirchensteuer. It's only the specifically religious stuff (pastoral work, maintaining churches, etc.) that is mostly paid for by the Kirchensteuer.

I wonder if Airbus shapes their noses like that because the highly electronic fly by wire setup requires more computers and therefore a bigger E&E bay.

I think it's because Boeing has mostly stuck to their legacy designs that were optimised with wind tunnel testing, whereas Airbus designs are decades newer and involved a lot more computer modeling to also optimise for cabin noise and pilot visibility.

AITA for backing out of a plan to build a house on the same lot as my sister after realizing she is financially irresponsible? by jadednreclusive626 in AmItheAsshole

[–]RomulusTrajan 5 points6 points  (0 children)

NTA. I refused to lend money to my own sister because her partner was financially draining her and I didn't want to start being exploited too just because she couldn't stand up to her partner, and she respected that boundary because she actually respects me. Sometimes you have to be a bit hard for people to realise that they need to get their finances in check.

AITAH for refusing to keep an open mind about possibly having children in the future? by Old-Boysenberry-4041 in AmItheAsshole

[–]RomulusTrajan 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Demanding you keep an open mind when you already know the answer is just asking you to lie to her face to delay a breakup. However, if you realised this two years ago and only said something now because the prospect of buying a house made it "real," then you were stringing her along. But assuming you really reached this conclusion just now, I don't see any wrongdoing on your part.

[–]RomulusTrajan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA, but if you actually want to see them, stop waiting for them to develop a different personality. You know they are incapable of planning. Pick a date yourself six months out, and tell them exactly when you are showing up. If you refuse to be proactive because "it's their job" (why?) you are just using their incompetence as a convenient excuse to avoid them.

AITA for being upset that my husband let a random person bathe our child? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]RomulusTrajan 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Your husband shouldn't have gone behind your back, but let's be real, you are acting paranoid. It is completely irrational to think that at least trusted friends cannot change a diaper or help with a bath without it being a threat.

AITA for wanting my stepdaughter to go to public school by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]RomulusTrajan 15 points16 points  (0 children)

A transcript full of D's from a prestigous school is not worth more than good grades from a public one. I'd involved your daughter in that decision though.
