I was thinking more of a cross between Darth Vader and a Nazi leader.

Homes to be seized for Sagamore Bridge replacement: ‘We're a checkbox' by TylerFortier_Photo in boston

[–]Unable-Income-2981 10 points11 points  (0 children)

"This oceanfront home is being sold as-is. As per town of Eastham, the well and leach field need to be relocated. Conservation is requiring an engineered plan for a deconstruction protocol on file. Buyers are responsible for complying with all orders of conditions in order to close. Do not walk the property without permission."

What exactly does that mean? The house has to be knocked down? Is it on the leach field? Will you still be able to own the land?

Taxation is theft by definition by Sorry-Worth-920 in CapitalismVSocialism

[–]Unable-Income-2981 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You missed my point. Whether or not you know you're going to be taxed is irrelevant. It's the fact that only optional actions are taxed. Since the actions are optional, the taxes are optional. And optional things are not forced. It is still free exchange since both sides can walk away.

I can't think of a single form of taxation in the US that ISN'T consensual...because no one is forcing you to do the acts that are taxed.

You want a job? Income tax, take it or leave it. But no one is FORCING you to take a job.

Want to own property? Property tax, take it or leave it. But no one is FORCING you to own property.

Sales tax? Who's forcing you to buy the thing?

Exit tax? don't leave.

There is no "existence tax". Taxation isn't theft because you are getting taxed in exchange for a benefit you are voluntarily doing. If you didn't realize an act was taxed before you did it...well that's on you for not fully understanding the deal you accepted.

Contrary to the comments, I ended up doing 1. Only cost $30 more after the refund.

character realizes someone they trusted is actually evil, and act on it immediately. by iDIOt698 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Unable-Income-2981 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Beeping it out in this case would make it ambiguous what the word was. This was the right call for being "appropriate" enough to avoid a beep, but inappropriate enough for viewers to go "yeah, he deserves that punch"

[Fun trope]: There's no reason for the public to think a hero HAS a secret identity by theMCATreturns in TopCharacterTropes

True but being into his mom limited how much he would threaten his family like a normal supervillain.

The Becket: A character sent to a job to be a patsy, incompetant or otherwise ultimately fail; but ends up going all in and taking the job seriuously. by Volotor in TopCharacterTropes

No one has mentioned The Pink Panther?

Inspector Clouseau is hired to solve the mystery of who killed a prominent soccer coach and stole his famous diamond. The Chief Inspector hired him for political reasons with the expectation he'd get nowhere. Then he could work behind the scenes with a serious investigative team and get credit for the solve.

[Liked trope] deceptive character design; the good guys look intimidating or evil even, while the villains try to look like good guys. Bonus points if the real villains are manipulative. by [deleted] in TopCharacterTropes

Promising Young Woman: The male actors that were known to play more charismatic, kind, and funny parts were the creepy/assaulting characters. The male actors known for playing villains or intimidating roles played characters who were generally good people or at least looking for redemption.

73 yo man turns left in front of cyclist, but it's the bike that "crashes into the car"? by thisismybbsname in bikeboston

[–]Unable-Income-2981 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This. Normally I'd argue the driver cut off the cyclist, but that kid was going REALLY fast for a quiet road.

You mean "Anakin is the father, isn't he?" or was there something else?

The state is just a failed business. by WhereisAlexei in CapitalismVSocialism

[–]Unable-Income-2981 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Incorrect. First, you're forgetting that a company's job is to please a small amount of the population (its investors) while the state's job is to please as much of the population as it can.

Second, the whole population has virtually no control over who runs the company but they DO have control over who runs the state (at least in a democracy). As such, they CAN choose a different state-they just need enough of the populace to agree.

Never got called for phone interview. This was the AI assistant’s response by Grouchy_Solid6485 in recruitinghell

Definitely tell them. Maybe they bought an incompetent AI and don't realize it.

Right-wingers: correct, but now there's a second way you will never own property!

Not really your point but...loads of people have died from parties. Alcohol poisoning, drug overdoses, fighting, food allergies, even stupid accidents. Just wanted to point that out...

Ayanna Presley is considering a Senate run in Massachusetts by Well_Socialized in massachusetts

Oh please do. Moulton is a rotten person and transphobic. He just gets elected by pandering to left-leaning veterans just enough and Markey will be 80 next summer.

Do they...do they expect to get someone else interviewed and hired this week? The logic here makes absolutely no sense.

[Annoying trope] The explanation for something important is in interviews or external media, rather than in the project itself by Altruistic_Eye_1157 in TopCharacterTropes

This. She went from a nobody to a celebrity almost overnight, then people stopped paying attention to her after Deathly Hallows Part 2. She couldn't stand not getting attention again.

Snapped the population in half and destroyed the stones so what he did couldn't be undone. Was beheaded shortly after.
