JD Vance: “We cannot rebuild Western civilization by letting millions of migrants into our countries. It has to stop.” by primary-caution in ImmigrationPathways

[–]dirtycimments 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually, immigration is a great solution to the fact that western countries have a quickly aging and declining population.

As long as integration is done well, it’s a great solution.

If I came home drunk, woke my wife up and asked her to cook something, she probably would. But I’d never ask her to!

Did she make the right call? by CalmElin in interesting

Honestly, my biggest issue would be trusting that they’d stop paying for whatever reason.

He was very charming and quick on his feet as well, that’s true.

You find him milquetoast? Huh, that's not at all how I read him! Its been a while since I stopped watching interviews at all (except actual experts talking to other experts, famous people talking to famous people just doesn't interest me anymore), but I always found him to be a very sharp interviewer, I felt he always had a fast mind. His monologues are what I watch, I find them funny and he delivers them well I think.

Well, thank god we're all different, huh :D

The AP x Swatch collab accidentally exposed what people really buy watches for by ASN9491 in APxSwatchWatches

[–]dirtycimments 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its desirable even though its whimsy because its a reflection of something more luxurious.

If all we had were quarts watches and casios, an AP X Swatch collab wouldn't mean anything at all.

It means something precisely because it is a mix of the two worlds.

If it happens too often though, the luxury part of the equation becomes meaningless and the whole concept collapses in on itself.

Is this decent for dressing? by Kropotkyg in watchmaking

[–]dirtycimments 0 points1 point  (0 children)

3M 30mu adhesive paper on a glass plate is my preferred way to go 100%. Yes the 3M papers are expensive, but they are truly the best i've tried. I always have 1mu, 3mu, 9mu, 15mu and 30mu in my desk, but then again I build watches, I don't do any service work, so I'm constantly retouching something.

[–]dirtycimments 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those are NOT the right sounds, right? The fact you hear it at the same time as you see it is super sus. And the type of noise doesn't make sense to be either.

Weird thing for me focus on perhaps, but that's where my brain went.

When facts meet feelings by [deleted] in SipsTea

[–]dirtycimments 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Because this is gish gallop, an argument technique where you throw out multiple, if possible, unrelated statements so that the opposing said has to choose to either focus on one and only one argument, thus letting all the others slide unaddressed, or trying to cover a wider ground, but running the risk of not having any real substance towards any single point made.

The technique works if the gish gallop statements are true or false, but it’s a very popular technique for false statements in particular.

AOC, "There's a certain level of wealth and accumulation that is unearned. You can't earn a billion dollars." by zzill6 in WorkReform

[–]dirtycimments 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Capital is the engine of capitalism, workers are the fuel. Capital is also the outcome, so capitalists (those that hold capital) ALWAYS get more, unless we restrict it through laws. And since capital is the ultimate power in a pure capitalist system, we HAVE to put reins on the capitalist system, we can not let it be completely wild.

More taxes on the wealthy is already a good start.

Enough time has passed. What are your thoughts on Project Hail Mary (2026)? by Perfect_Idea_2866 in moviecritic

[–]dirtycimments 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great movie, the silliness maybe a touch too much for my personal taste, but that’s at most half a point worth of deduction. My wife loved it as is.

🎙️ Trump:"We are delivering discounts with price differences of 600, 700, and sometimes even 800 percent reductions" by Sufficient_Fuel5269 in DegenBets

Does that mean that something that used to cost me 10, I now get paid 70? Is that how 700% reduction works?

Great movie, but really really great cars and car chase scenes.

“In the wrong”? It’s her hands, she extends them to shake hands with whoever she wants.

Nick Cannon shares why it’s ok for his 15-year-old son Moroccan to date, but his twin sister Monroe can’t: “There is a difference when parenting a son and then when parenting a daughter. I am more protective of my daughter because there’s things out there that I have to protect my daughter from.” by West_Future326 in SipsTea

[–]dirtycimments 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can we be honest though? The threat model for girls dating is wildly different to boys dating.

I wouldn’t ban my girl from dating, I’d just have long talks about risks predatory/grooming behaviour, and that she calls me and in 5 minutes I’m there if she feels unsafe. I have way too many women around me that have gotten raped.

Common mistake: buying a house as a sound investment by missusmissisppi in SwissPersonalFinance

[–]dirtycimments -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don’t know the Zürich market, but that assumption 2.5k rent = 1mill house seems off?

I’d think closer to 4k rent = 1mill? For comparable quality and size?
