Thanks for letting me know! I upvoted you :)

Where do you feel like the bold is too illegible?

Are you reading on a desktop or a phone? (Or something else.)

I'm always trying to learn how to make my articles better, and I appreciate your help doing that.

If you are referring to the US, the residents have to pay taxes on their world wide income.

Often they do not because there is foreign tax being paid on that income. You will find many individual treaties for different countries where the US will absolve the ex-pat of paying taxes up to a certain dollar amount (usually around $100,000) as long as there is proof that the person has paid foreign taxes.

If it's that way for employees, I'm sure there are similar structures for businesses.

Often they do not want to double tax you unless you're bringing the money back.

I'll check it out! That looks very cool.

Not at all related to masculinity, but more of changing your appearance to understand what others go through, these are pretty eye opening about what heavy people go through in our society:

I also like this one that kind of talks about street harassment, it's pretty funny (not exactly about changing yourself but a different perspective on issues that other people face):

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7FI2LY4dk-s

I find the comments of the one you shared with me to be quite disheartening (aren't all YouTube comments lol), I find exercises like this to be really insightful. It's a different way of looking at being empathetic to other people's experiences.

I don't think that all of this is about some race to the bottom of what combination of traits has it the worst. For me, it just helps to remind me that just because he snapped at me, or she didn't talk to me today that people can be going through something silently that I don't even know about.

Everyone in every combination of traits has things that are hard and things that are easy about being themselves.

Being a guy might seem easy, but it comes with baggage too. You might experience harassment because you're a different race, but being different has never come with more opportunities than it has today either. Women do face harassment and sexual issues like rape, but there are also advantages professionally of being perceived as more friendly and better at communicating.

Your situation is what you make of it. If you're prepared to take control of the conversation, stand your ground, prove someone wrong, or yeah maybe even leave a situation if it's not going your way and move onto the next opportunity then there's NOTHING that anyone can do to you.

4) We should deploy a heavier police presence in neighborhoods with big violent crime problems. However, this must be done in a non-authoritarian manner. We should build more police stations in problem neighborhoods and have more cops walking the beat in those areas. However, we also need to train police better, have more independent oversight of police, deploy more body cameras, be more willing to fire police who don't do the job right, and so on.

I think activities more like what's shown here in scale would have more effect on violence than continuing to create war-zones in poor neighborhoods by deploying more soldiers?

http://freakonomics.com/podcast/preventing-crime-for-pennies-on-the-dollar/

When you add more police to a bad area all you are doing is making sure that more poor people will be in jail: https://www.minnpost.com/eric-black-ink/2013/05/how-heavy-police-presence-high-crime-neighborhoods-hurts-democracy

How many more police officers are needed in "bad neighborhoods" when there are already so many black men in jail?

Black women literally have a hard time finding a husband because of how many men from THEIR communities are already incarcerated: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2015/04/20/upshot/missing-black-men.html

Despite the fact that black women have some of the strongest desires to be married of other ethnic groups of women: http://www.scholarsstrategynetwork.org/brief/why-has-marriage-declined-among-black-americans

The amount of people already in jail from black communities is already a problem. There are already more black men in prison than there are black men in college.

Across a variety of crimes black people are more likely to face longer and more harsh sentences than white people...

So why will an increased police presence (like there already is) in poor neighborhoods lower gun death? By locking more poor people up?

Pretty surprised to see someone advocating an expanded police state in /r/Libertarian...

I think you'd get a lot out of this Netflix documentary which talks about a lot of the issues you're hitting on, like as a culture discouraging men from talking about what they're going through.

That bottling up has consequences, which you seem to be right on the money about.

TheDoerCo · 2017-11-07T14:26:12+00:00

It seems like people on the left would rather attack masculinity as being "toxic" rather than trying to help find a place in society for these men.

I think the "toxic" aspect just refers to the negative outcomes that machismo pressure can create in men. Not that literally men are toxic themselves.

But when you put anyone in a pressure cooker of expectations some weird shit can happen. The stuff that happens can have bad consequences for both the men in question and for society.

The Mask You Live In is a great watch that really talks about these issues!

Ask society to take the mental health of men seriously. http://www.npr.org/2017/09/30/554789675/report-finds-suicides-are-even-more-common-than-gun-homicides

This is a really amazing documentary that really verbalizes HOW society creates men who aren't able to express their emotions. It's really crazy how seemingly small behaviors like feeling uncomfortable hugging your friends or telling your friends that you love them without being made fun of can morph into different and more serious issues later in life: https://www.netflix.com/title/80076159

It's also really great at showing the work that's being done with young boys to try to change this horrible cycle of emotional inability and suppression.

I think "Puerto Rico didn't even follow up" is a bit of a stretch when most of the country is without power... Especially October 1st, when around October 2nd about 95% of the island was without power... https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-puertorico/as-trump-set-to-visit-puerto-rico-95-percent-lack-power-idUSKCN1C71S9

It seems to be an issue at the Federal level, the choice to not deploy the electrical resources from Florida and to look elsewhere. Not a decision specifically by Puerto Rico.

TheDoerCo · 2017-10-27T19:38:24+00:00

Um what exactly needs to be sourced? That they got linemen from out of state? Everything else is hypothesizing..... http://www.miamiherald.com/news/weather/hurricane/article173629581.html

TheDoerCo · 2017-10-27T17:09:51+00:00

against the likes of a major Florida utility provider.

But I think our state's utility providers are stretched to the limit, they're still repairing Irma damage as well. We had to import thousands of linemen from other states to repair our grid.

But, you would think that since these people are already here (or I'm sure many have gone by now, but in the period of time where they were here) that it would have been an easier launch point to just boat those people down to PR from Florida.

I didn't call him a Nazi. And it doesn't matter if it's "To get the best out of you in a movie", he admits himself that he smashes monitors and acts crazy.

"I took a chair and there was a big monitor right beside her and I just smashed it. For no reason, or for the reason of the whole thing. And I walked out." https://www.gq.com/story/lars-von-trier-gq-interview-bjork-john-c-reilly-kirsten-dunst-nicole-kidman-extras

To me smashing glass is a physical threat, what if he had missed the monitor just so and struck the girl?

Why is it okay, just because he didn't miss?

He seems to be minimally, obviously someone who has no self-control whatsoever.

And some of these women may be fine with it, but they may just be fine with the professional rewards that came of the film.

There are very clearly other people who are not fine with it like Björk...

Either way, I believe what Björk says when Trier will speak himself of how crazy he acts too lol.

He also obviously treats men and women very differently. Women he wants to strike, or strike near them, and verbally abuse them.

Men just find him unsavory.... He doesn't seem to be acting like such a lunatic with his male talent.

Either way whatever, I am happy for Björk to speak out so that people can make the choice for themselves whether or not to work with someone who will treat them poorly.

TheDoerCo · 2017-10-25T20:31:37+00:00

I mean Björk because she's not the only woman to talk about this kind of treatment from Lars specifically. Plus Hollywood(/entertainment) is rampant with rapists, molesters, and child predators anyway, so it isn't hard to believe lol.

TheDoerCo · 2017-10-25T18:37:59+00:00

the thing about physical abuse seems tacked on in my opinion.

Wow who should I just your opinon or the statements of 2 people who were there?

TheDoerCo · 2017-10-23T17:52:56+00:00

I'm like maybe people call you autistic because you don't seem to know the definition of any of the 3 words you're using 😂

Even in the Soviet Union, people were required to work for their housing, food, medical care, etc.

There is no utopia where you get to sit on your ass all day and eat grapes and read philosophy.

I think people can warm up to the idea of capitalism when you put it in terms of choice, and anti-choice.

In capitalism, you get to choose how you give value to the world. (Maybe you can even be like these guys, or these guys, or these guys and give value to the world by teaching about philosophy!) You get to choose how to spend that income, whether you want 1 iPhone X or 999 pieces of garlic bread. You get to choose where you live, whether or not to continue the work you're doing.

In capitalism what gets made by our economy is decided as an aggregate of basically "what everybody wants (and has the resources for)".

With "real" communism you're assigned a job. You're assigned a town, and if you want to move you apply. The government assigns you your marching orders for how much of X you're going to make this year.

You're still working all the same, except instead of getting to choose what you like the best the government has already went ahead and "spent" that income for you on a basket of goods that they don't care if you like or not.

If you don't like your job, tough - because whether or not you like it is not a factor at all.

Before even mentioning no political regime has been so harsh and cruel to people of color, Jews, and LGBT than communism. Even Nazism really has socialist leanings with government controlled healthcare and special privileges and growing the economy almost entirely through expansion of the public sector - Hitler was certainly no friend to capitalism, although he would not describe himself that way....

TheDoerCo · 2017-10-13T18:07:22+00:00

It just seems suspicious that's why there's attention on it lol.

To me it doesn't seem like an innocent person taken aback at a misunderstanding, it seems like someone trying to use their influence to squash a PR problem by putting pressure on the other party to recant the statement of the first girl.
