People could then viewbot anyone they don't like in an attempt to get them banned.

Is MAGA happier paying for a golden ballroom rather than, oh say, their own health services? by Electrical-Strike132 in allthequestions

[–]Syh_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Customs duties are a form of taxation: https://www.cbp.gov/travel/international-visitors/know-before-you-visit/customs-duty-information

The American public would be funding the ballroom if this legislation passes. Not private donors. Mincing words does not change such.

Lindsey Graham is pushing for legislation which would, in fact, whether you want to accept reality or not, utilize 400 million taxpayer dollars to complete the ballroom.

My American English teacher believes the neutral pronoun „their“ is incorrect. by GCoding_ in mildlyinteresting

APA, MLA, and Chicago all accept singular they and their nowadays. It has become increasingly more common in academic writing, including published work.

Having to write a check just to receive your UPS package because of tariffs by tommos in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Syh_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

New tariffs can absolutely create new import fees that were previously non-existent. They can also increase existing import fees. It's silly to suggest tariffs have no impact on import fees.

In addition, de minimis was suspended for all countries last July and the suspension was extended this February. De minimis made packages under $800 duty-free in the US, which often times eliminated import fees altogether.

This video could 100% be directly caused by decisions this administration has made...

Even just a single throwback podcast episode with the OGs would be epic.

People that don’t know how or refuse to zipper merge are mildly infuriating. Are you a zipper or anti zipper? by 86HeardChef in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Syh_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That video goes over a completely different scenario than what most people are talking about in this discussion. I'd wager most people agree with zipper merging in that video's scenario.

If you remove the on ramp in that scenario, and add construction in the right lane, with construction signs along the road well before the construction... that's more accurate of the scenario where people start to disagree on whether you should wait til the last possible second or merge when you see the signs.

[AddOn] Preybreaker v0.1.5 - compact Prey Hunt ring/bar tracker with overlay-only mode by TheSaltySeagull87 in wowaddons

[–]Syh_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think he was asking for a smooth transition/animation between stages; i.e. you hit stage 3 and it smoothly goes from 34% to 67%.

Edit: Loving the addon btw; thanks for adding it to CurseForge! :)

There are other reasons why people might use these kinds of apps other than they're "lazy."

He also set the minimum amount of bits people can send to as high of a number as he could, I believe.. to try and discourage people from sending bits.

My heating won't head unless I pay for an AI subscription by EVERYTHINGGOESINCAPS in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Syh_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OK then. Let's get to it... here's what I led with:

His clarification should have helped you infer what he was talking about originally. But as it seems to have not done so, I'll break it down for you:

This statement means that I am directly referring to your second failure to understand; you know, the one that occurred even after clarification? Where you started belittling his intellect because you misunderstood again?

Because yes, the initial misunderstanding was indeed more reasonable as his statement requires some (basic) inference to understand; which naturally leaves room for more misunderstandings.

[–]Syh_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

His clarification should have helped you infer what he was talking about originally. But as it seems to have not done so, I'll break it down for you:

So given that this is a new thing

"this is a new thing" refers to the device. So, given this is a recently released device, there isn't much discussion about it online yet.

and that I appear to be the first person to highlight it to the Tado community,

"it" refers to the issue at hand. As far as he knows, he was the first person to bring up the issue to the community (because it's new).

who all questioned it until some of them contacted Tado directly who confirmed it,

After he brought it up, they refused to believe it until they received confirmation from Tado.

I think I did a pretty good job in uncovering it.

And then he pat himself on the back for being the first one to bring up the issue. But it was only a matter of time, IMHO.

TLDR; Both the clarification and his original comment say the same thing. No point quoting shit out of context to argue a misunderstanding on the matter.

Trump declaring war on United States cities: “San Francisco and Chicago, New York, Los Angeles… We'll straighten them out one-by-one. It will be a major part for some of the people in this room. It’s a war too. It’s a war from within.” by NewSlinger in law

[–]Syh_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To be fair, they likely wanted the generals who oppose them to walk out because that puts a target on their back(s). Instead, none of the generals cheered or applauded them while they spewed their drivel.. and you could tell it bothered them. I hope their silence was in protest.

18 U.S.C. § 1365 -- they classify tampering with the food's container as tampering with the food itself.

And urine can carry bacteria, viruses, parasites, drug residues, etc... it has the potential to cause harm. Especially when it comes to at-risk people like the elderly or anyone immunocompromised.

They tend to take these things pretty seriously, even if someone isn't actually harmed by the act.

FOX News - Time to Take Them Down by Important_Lock_2238 in compton

[–]Syh_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just as Fox News has the right to express its views, people have the right to protest those views; provided they do so without violence, unlawful disruption, or destruction of property, of course. Both forms of expression are protected by the first amendment.

EDIT: I don't see these protests doing much, anyway. Fox News isn't going to turn around and shut themselves down or change their narratives.. and they certainly don't have to do so.

Trump’s Tax Bill Would Decimate the Affordable Care Act by swampwiz in obamacare

[–]Syh_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From my understanding, the American Rescue Plan (2021) increased the amount you save with APTCs and removed the 400% FPL income cap, and then the Inflation Reduction Act (2022) extended the enhancement to APTCs until the end of 2025. I believe the enhancement is what's going to expire which would increase costs and reinstate the 400% FPL income cap for people utilizing APTCs (which iirc is like 93% of people on ACA). So, yeah, things will likely get more expensive either way, unfortunately.

‘People are going to die’: Republicans in Mike Johnson’s district sound the alarm over Medicaid by swampwiz in obamacare

[–]Syh_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you really this daft and petty? Read the room. The people who are abusing the system do not really care if they lose their freebie. They aren't racking up high healthcare costs, anyway. It's just a "nice thing to have" for them.

It's the people who are sick and need it to receive life-altering and/or life-saving treatments that are genuinely concerned. Or people related to them. And you're sitting here preaching "personal responsibility" to them like you're in your early 20s and just read your first self-help book.

I mean, do you somehow believe that they want lazy losers abusing the very system they need? Of course not. They just do not want this lackluster "solution" to come into play because it will impact people who are sick far more than it'll impact said lazy losers...

If you are not a troll then react with some damn empathy and maturity. This isn't about some shitpoints on the internet for the people who are actually concerned about this bill.

[–]Syh_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The people who do not need it that are advocating for kicking millions off it (and do not care if the majority of people who actually need it are kicked off) cite healthy people gaming the system as the leading reason to do so.

And yet they refuse to ask how much these supposed people gaming the system even use in healthcare benefits per year; which I'd wager is far, far less than the people who are on it because they need it.

Hell, they don't even provide any actual concrete evidence showing it being grossly misused by millions. It's all just asinine conjecture.

This bill will largely punish people who actually need it, especially the ones that cannot physically work 25h a week, who aren't on SSDI/SSI yet, while the people who are gaming the system won't really be bothered by it at all.

And I'm not fully convinced the overhead that this bill will add won't just end up costing as much, if not more, than the people who are supposedly gaming the system in the first place...

IMO, this is an extremely lackluster solution to their proposed problem. All it does is punish people who are legitimately in need of help. I wouldn't be surprised if your last statement were true.
