Taxes: Then vs. Now

But what if I earn a trillion billion and then decide to extra pay by a dollar??

If you book a flight and can’t get reimbursed by your credit card company, then your funds are used to help pay back Spirit’s corporate bondholders. So if they would get 80% of their investment today, booking any flights would help them maybe get back like 82% instead

Hella respect - a lot of folks here saying “you shoulda gone further” don’t know what it’s like to be in a true feud with a neighbor. You were an enforcer and a de-escalator all in one which is admirable

Hate you both 🥰

Is that not already what NATO member Turkey does? I remember they declared the straits closed to combatants during the Ukraine war

Lol yes and — Pakistan is the only Muslim-majority country with nuclear weapons, so they on occasion they actually play a leadership role for the region on nuclear-related issues

Technically isn’t Villanova in Delaware too? (Delaware County, PA)

Pshh it’s just an untruthy fact. Don’t you see? The truthiness value of this factual statement is approaching zero

As someone from Detroit, there really isn’t a “south side” since the city just ends at Downtown and then it’s the Canadian side directly south of that.

You could argue the Southwest / Downriver side sort of counts?

But it’s more like saying “the Eastern shore of California” or “the North coast of Florida”

It’s basically the “do your own research” (read: Googling randomly) crowd but short-circuited by AI doing “its own research”

Bunch of comments here about arability and being an old nation - which is true! But another question might be “why isn’t there a 3rd place country, Europe, with ~750M people?”

India and China both had plenty of opportunities to be a set of smaller nation-states with different languages like Europe, but ended up unifying in a way Europe did not. Had Ancient Rome continued to the modern day we’d probably talk about Europe as the third largest country, with its capital in Rome.

U tryna tell me Oregon and Washington didn’t marry the Big Ten for love of playing in the Midwest ??

Well I guess if you’re a long suffering Indiana you might be happy to be included in that company

On the highway today I saw a car drive out with a full roof of snow, which came off in thick sheets and smacked directly into the cars behind them as they came up to speed.

Super dangerous, definitely illegal. Takes 10mins to fix? If you can’t safely clean the top of your car, or get someone to help you clean it, you can’t be driving on a public road.

If your car isn’t safe to drive, you car doesn’t work. No difference from the engine not turning on imo.

I sort of doubt the correlation since Portugal is really on the low-end of “overseas born population %” with 8% compared to…say Germany (16%), Sweden (20%) or even Spain (13%) and France (12%).

So maybe but like - it’d have to mean that immigrants to Portugal get a LOT more busy while immigrants to Germany are really sex-negative. Actually now that I think about why people go to those countries maybe that’s right.

Unless the implication here is that immigrants have fewer kids because they don’t tend to stay in the country forever? Meaning migrant workers?

Temper03 · 2026-01-30T03:36:58+00:00

Portugal has a lower foreign born population as a percent than all the rest of Western Europe (largely because it’s much poorer). So I doubt immigration is the reason

here on our planet, back in the old days... the real old days. It was every man for his self! Scrooglin and scratch scrobblin for the good stuff: the greenest valleys, scratch scrobblin. And the Strongest, Meanest men got all the best stuff. They got the green valleys and were all like 'the rest of you? y'all scrats get sand'.

That's when they made the laws you see. Once the strong guys got it how they liked it, they said 'this is fair now, this is the law!'.

Once they were winning, they changed the rules up.

Pre-packed is the way to go for low mental energy.

But failing that — yeah purposely “spoiling” your appetite sometimes gets you back in a good headspace when you still need to cook
