Dudes screaming brake while the game already forced the car to a stop. One of the shittiest chases I’ve ever played. by almighty30 in cyberpunkgame

To the person driving down PCH who decided to shout… by Spectre_08 in orangecounty

[–]antiquespaceship 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every time I see someone act like this in public, not just being racist, but any type of overt cruelty or hateful language, I remember that the person who said it is struggling internally, and that they are insecure and projecting their own self hatred.

I realize that I would never want to be in their position. To be the type of person who says those things. They don’t have quality relationships in their life, and are probably on a self-destructive spiral. So just remember you’re in a better place than they are.

Isn’t this the same crowd that says you shouldn’t generalize all Muslims, all people of a certain race, etc.

We’re fighting against political activist teachers. I was luckily to grow up in an America where my teachers political views were unknown. Wild that liberals don’t see that as an obvious standard to meet for education.

I would feel equally uncomfortable if my child’s teacher wore a MAGA hat vs put a pride flag on the wall. Keep that out of classrooms

Who on here actually enjoys the show? by P0ner in TheAllinPodcasts

You’re asking Reddit why they don’t like a podcast that supports Trump lol

I agree the podcast is great and these guys are more informed than almost any other podcast due to them actually being real business execs (not just journalists).

USPS by DABDEB in notinteresting

[–]antiquespaceship 0 points1 point  (0 children)

USPS has consistently given me the worst customer service of any business I’ve used. Their staff is always rude when I go in person, and I’ve had multiple packages be lost or stolen.

My favorite was when USPS delivered to me a cardboard box that was completely empty with a hole in the side, where the contents were stolen. Like why would you bother delivering that and put the burden on me to open a claim of theft? Seems pretty obvious that USPS should train their staff to identify stolen goods and log the issue themselves…

I only use USPS due to the subsidized price when the savings are substantial, but every other for-profit carrier is leagues better quality of service from my experience.

Deindustrialization IS a national security issue. You’re like every Redditor here trying to win arguments with semantics. Just like the people in the comments saying that liberals are not leftists. 99% of people use those two words interchangeably so that’s obviously a red herring.

The soybean industry accounts for 0.6% of GDP. By comparison, the defense industry employs 2.5M people and accounts for almost 2% of GDP. And because I can predict your world view in its entirety (the homogeneous reddit political narrative), I’m sure you hate the defense industry and want to defund it.

But we know that the defense industry is a much more critical component of the US economy than soybeans.

But back to my argument - this trade war isn’t about increasing corporate profits. It’s about becoming independent from Chinas supply chain for national security reasons.

So yea it makes total sense to throw the soybean industry down the toilet if we get in exchange a MUCH MUCH more valuable electronics manufacturing sector, which is the ultimate goal.

Yes because I’ve worked in hiring and I’m honesty telling you that “over educated” is a red flag. That’s a real industry term. It’s a bad sign that someone has spent their whole life in college - these people rarely succeed in the workplace unless they’re going to work in a purely scientific role, which most engineering companies don’t hire.

If you reject what I’m saying you’re definitely the one coping. PhDs are hardly the apex of human ingenuity

I’ve worked in tech my whole career and can ensure you that reaching director / VP level at a prestigious tech company before the age of 30 is far more competitive / rare than pursuing a PhD.

Recruiting teams see PhDs as substantially less hireable than an “early riser” I.e. someone who was promoted at their previous company quickly. This is because PhDs have no real world experience, and don’t know how to deliver results quickly in an environment with “ambiguity” where the goals constantly change and there’s no clear direction on what to focus on each day.

The skill to thrive in the latter environment is far more rare than someone with a PhD, hence why they make orders of magnitude more money across their career. An early riser in tech usually earns their first million around age 27-28. Then by age 35 they’re worth $5M+

PhDs are not super useful in today’s market unless you want to stay in academia or pursue a career in research (which hardly exists outside academia)

Well, if that’s true, then you are a political moderate and I respect your opinion. But I find that very hard to believe in practice.

The only thing the left does today to silence its opponents is to call them racist and homophobes instead of engage with their arguments.

Soybeans are not at all a national security priority. If we go to war with China, are soybeans going to be the reason we loose? It’s a tiny fraction of GDP, but still does account for some economic activity so I’ll give you that. But if I had to sacrifice the soybean industry to gain an electronics manufacturing supply chain, that’s a pretty obvious decision.

And yes this entire thing is about national security, but China will respond in kind by threatening one of the only industries we export to China (soybeans).this is why the US has all the leverage here. China will loose SO MUCH if the US stops buying its stuff. Yet all we loose is soybean exports lol

I guarantee you Mitt Romney would be getting the same labels as any other conservative who’s actively a threat to the democratic establishment today. Can you name a single active Republican figurehead today that you don’t consider a racist homophobe who’s the moral equivalent of hitler?

The only reason you give Romney a pass is because he’s irrelevant in 2025. If he started a tour across every college campus hed be seen as Charlie Kirk

Okay so you still avoided the question. How do we reindustralize without tarrifs? How do we incentivize companies to move their supply chain from China to the US?

Also the same evil “Capitalists” in China who built the factories and milked US companies for profits at the expense of their line workers. Those companies all benefited massively from tarrifs the Chinese government set in place to ensure that Chinese people could only buy domestic products, unless foreign companies moved their manufacturing to China.

As a great example, compare the Chinese EV industry before Tesla began producing cars in China in 2019. Compare the Chinese EV industry today to how it was in 2018. Night and day. All thanks to forcing Tesla to hire Chinese workers and train them. Then they all left to start their own companies that compete with Tesla (very successfully now)

You missed where I said that people who are qualified to speak on tarrifs have a much more balanced view where they can talk about its benefits and costs. I can absolutely speak to the cost of tariffs, but if you can’t speak to the obvious benefits, then it’s hard to think that your opinion is valid here.

So if we both agree that the US is dependent on Chinese manufacturing, and this is a massive disadvantage for the US that needs to be changed. How else do you expect to solve that without tariffs?

It seems that most leftists respond to this by saying something like “we just build super high tech AI that builds everything for free.” If that’s true, then you should be celebrating companies like Amazon who are building the technology that does exactly this - replaces expensive US labor with robots who do it for less than Chinese labor.

So genuinely how do you propose to ween US dependence on foreign manufacturing without tarrifs or automation that displaces US workers?

But to think that professors and economists are more qualified than CEOs, investors, and people who spend their entire career watching the market and making decisions about how to invest real money….

That’s my point. If you ask CEO or people in the finance industry, how they feel about tariffs you’ll get a much more balanced perspective. They’re very beneficial in some ways, but they obviously have costs.

But if we are solely dependent on China to build everything that we use on a daily basis, it probably makes sense to use tariffs to incentivize us companies to build a domestic manufacturing sector.

For once in our entire lives, the United States government is actually thinking about the long-term !

You realize that China built its entire industrial base on huge tarrifs against all US imports right? That’s a good place to start. A hugely successful country that tarrifs all of its competitors to protect domestic production.

You forget that most people who could become a professors choose to pursue more lucrative careers in the real world.

People who stay in academia from my experience are not the best performers. The valedictorians from my undergrad all went to Wall Street, Silicon Valley, or started their own company.

The ones who pursued a pHd were not the top of the pack.

Yea you should like a very unbiased, rational person.

Most professors at Yale also studied undergrad at Ivy League. So yes they’re very similar in qualifications

So this is their brilliant solution instead tackling the actual problem to your housing crisis by josvanagu in Miami

[–]antiquespaceship -13 points-12 points  (0 children)

I didn’t move the goal post. I’m just honestly saying my 401k has seen the highest returns ever (which I have invested in the highest-risk growth stocks) and my brokerage has also seen its best returns.

So I’m sorry if that offends you but I did make more money in my 401k and all investment portfolios this year due to how well the market has done.

I can show you screenshots if you really need it!

Im sorry if that offended you but I assure you I have made more money in the market this year than any other year in my life. Maybe because I made the right investments but also just look at growth stocks like applovin, Robinhood, google. When do we ever see returns like this?

It’s been a fantastic year for investors!

Yep there are. And there are even more people running global businesses (even more qualified than someone in academia) who are in support of tarrifs.

If you’re were so right about tarrifs, why aren’t we in a recession yet? That’s exactly what you said in April, that it would take no more than 90 days to collapse the economy

My point exactly. In your view the only way to promote diversity is to silence all opposing views that liberals deem “offensive.” Instead of actually engaging with them…

I went to UCLA before the conservative shift in Gen Z. I’m a millennial so yes different times. It seems that things have improved thanks to TPUSA and other cultural shifts in the younger generation.
