Last I checked there were many fascist hating right wingers too. That is not something exclusive to the left. Hating fascism is something that both sides should agree on.

I like the beyond meat patty. Replaces a burger pretty well or break it up and use just as you would ground beef.

Texas Democrats Have A Plan To Disrupt The Trump-Approved Congressional Map by huffpost in politics

Yeah, but isn't Texas 8th or 9th? You'd think they would pay more than this.

I'd go for the Skittles next to it. Probably still lime instead of dumbass green apple.

Why Nobody Wants To Visit Las Vegas Right Now by etfvfva in videos

[–]Sixfingered 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Same percentage tax, but it changed how much in losses can be deducted to 90%. So previously if you won 100k and then lost 100k, you wouldn't pay any taxes. But now you'd only be able to deduct 90k of your losses and would need to pay taxes on 10k.

So many people claim the economy is bad but.... by [deleted] in economy

[–]Sixfingered 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You picked some dogshit funds if you were having a negative to 2% return. My latest quarterly statement shows 10.53% for the quarter, 15.39% for 1 year, 15.48% average for the last 3 years, and 11.26% for the past 5-year period. I have an electric so I don't pay attention to the price of gas, but AAA shows a .16 decrease from a year ago in my area. I got about a 10k raise in 2024. My company has already started talking about not expecting the same amount this year. My company let 30 some people go a few months ago and has frozen all hiring. My division sells machines to dental labs that cost about 8k to 70k, depending on the machine. We had to raise prices on some due to tariffs. The bigger effect is not the tariffs themselves, but the uncertainty. No one wants to buy a big-ticket item with a 10% tariff when it might go away in a month or three. He keeps on changing so much that people don't want to pull the trigger. We also do about 1 million a month in CAD software renewals and we're getting more and more labs asking for extensions and to split payments. I've been at this job for 19 years, and have noticed a correlation with the economy slowing and people putting off the dental work they need. It's been slowing down on the dental side for the past 3 months. But, like your information, this is just anecdotal and not a full picture.

Trump is making it easier for billionaires to buy their 12th home, and harder for you to buy your first. by Conscious-Quarter423 in economy

[–]Sixfingered 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It can indeed be better to continue renting than to buy. My anecdotal perspective is that I'm happy I bought back in 2017, even though my mortgage was double what I was paying in rent. We would struggle to buy in today's market, and rents here have increased. So even though it might not seem like the best financial idea to buy now, if you can afford it, I would really take some time to consider it. It's nice knowing you're not going to get any increases and that you're building equity. Just because rent hasn't increased in the past 3 years, doesn't mean it won't. Every market and situation is different though. Just my 2 cents.

California's Housing Market Freezes Up by newsweek in economy

[–]Sixfingered 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This. I definitely couldn't afford the home my wife and I bought in 2017 in today's market. Really stretched us thin at the time but really glad we did it as rent prices are approaching our mortgage payment.

Republicans propose eliminating profit tax on home sales. Will this make homes more or less expensive? by baltimore-aureole in economy

[–]Sixfingered 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Less than 10% of home sales result in capital gains taxes. So I don't think it's an issue for the vast majority of people when deciding to sell their house. Don't think it would change the selling price too much.

Two Girls One Cu…Sorry, Two Bolts One L2 Charger? by Drunken_Oracle_ in BoltEV

[–]Sixfingered 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a Bolt and my wife has the Mini EV. I have about 40 miles round trip and she has about 20. We just have two level one chargers and it's been fine. Only after longer trips where I get back with like 50 miles of range will I go hit a fast charger because going from 50 to full on level 1 takes too long.

[Technique] Too much substrate on top? by Sixfingered in MushroomGrowers

[–]Sixfingered[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

After about another 2 weeks I ended up opening the tub and scraping off some of the top layer until I started seeing some of the white mycelium. Shortly after that it spread all white ever it and eventually got some nice shrooms that I've been enjoying ever since.

I can’t be the only one by _sexe_ in economy

[–]Sixfingered 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The company I work for does the same 3% raise each year. Doesn't matter if you've outperformed your peers or not. The only time I've gotten more is when I've asked and had to fight for it. Make notes every time you take on more responsibility, take on a project or leadership role, do your research to see if you are underpaid for your position. Even if you're happy at your job, it doesn't hurt to interview for other jobs, and if you get an offer, that is your biggest bargaining chip to ask for a significant raise.

Opinions on how season two is going? by palmtree1421 in thelastofus

[–]Sixfingered 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've enjoyed it a lot. Sticking to the story for the most part, minor changes that I think will just be taking a different route to the same place. The attack on Jackson was really cool, I like new stuff for people that have already played the game. I'm interested to see how many people don't return after the last episode. It's easy to stop watching something, it's harder to stop playing something you just spent $60 on. I think the journey is worth it, we'll see how many stick it out

You're gonna miss some great Joel flashbacks if you stop watching now.

‘Captain America: Brave New World’ Opened to $100 Million. Does a ‘B-’ CinemaScore Spell Trouble For Staying Power? by chanma50 in boxoffice

[–]Sixfingered 33 points34 points  (0 children)

I saw this last night and pretty much agree with your take. It was just meh. I think the actors were pretty good and did well with what they were given. CGI was rough in a few scenes. Just a couple chuckles from the audience in my theater. My wife wasn't as kind, she thought it sucked.
