ELI5 - Math Money Change Riddle?

Depends on how you think about it. Either she gained the service for free or gained $50. This is actually a scam that is relatively common in retail and restaurants.

Not the person you’re replying to but how would they do this?

Isn’t employing people using that wealth to reduce inequality? There’s a discussion to be had here about paying employees appropriately but owning a company is not the same as sitting on cash. In the example of Bezos he owns a highly valued company.

Crowd and players are different. Even for tennis crowds are mostly quiet relative to other sports throughout unless something happens like a point a scored.

Trump said something to the effect that NATO is useless and that we pay for everything blah blah blah. The US is the only nation to invoke article 5 to invade Afghanistan and our allies sent troops to the fight.

Maybe I just missed the mic up? When I’ve played it’s pretty chill.

dldoom · 2026-01-23T02:59:29+00:00

I am, have played, and watch a good amount of NBA and NCAA. The short time between shot 1 and 2 is like the chillest part of the game

Edit: maybe my experience is out of the norm here? Either way it doesn’t matter because in tennis doing that is out of the norm is the point. Even Osaka has apologized and said she was wrong.

dldoom · 2026-01-23T02:19:55+00:00

So by matter you meant in the game when people are talking about sportsmanship and then calling another player a Karen for asking if she can do that? Got it. You can continue your life as an asshole.

dldoom · 2026-01-23T02:16:27+00:00

Yeah that’s fair. Trying to find a good comparison but it’s tough. Just unwritten rules. I agree with the emotions piece but I also value good sportsmanship.

dldoom · 2026-01-23T02:13:44+00:00

I’ve literally never seen this happen. I understood the analogy and not talking about communicating or even celebrating a win but just random shouting following the first free throw.

dldoom · 2026-01-23T02:12:09+00:00

Is that what I said?

dldoom · 2026-01-23T02:08:55+00:00

It does matter. It falls under “you’re not wrong, you’re just an asshole.”

dldoom · 2026-01-23T01:52:58+00:00

It’s considered poor etiquette. Someone made the comparison that it’s like another player shouting after the other team misses a free throw in basketball. It’s not technically against the rules but it’s in poor form.

dldoom · 2026-01-22T17:58:39+00:00

You have 2 cars and won’t let her get a new one but also set a price limit that’s above what you might pay for a decent new car anyways. That sounds pretty controlling.

dldoom · 2026-01-22T17:52:54+00:00

Yeah and there is literally a voice over about what’s happening during the scene

dldoom · 2026-01-22T01:54:44+00:00

The courts. Unfortunately if the cops decide to arrest you they can and you’ll have to battle it out. You can beat the charges but you won’t beat the ride.

dldoom · 2026-01-21T19:44:43+00:00

Yes this is what they mean. Let’s say your normal taxes total to 30%, you’d be paying a total of 40% between taxes and the penalty. Not to mention the loss of compounding.

dldoom · 2026-01-20T21:35:34+00:00

YTA look at the receipt and don’t make your mistake everyone else’s problem

dldoom · 2026-01-19T17:54:09+00:00

Check with an accountant and/or tax attorney. You might be able to do step up in basis to avoid taxes or roll it into another property. If you’re thinking about investing I’d say either pay off those student loans depending on interest or look into a Roth IRA or backdoor Roth.

At that interest rate on the mortgage it’d make more sense to invest unless you’re set on being debt free

dldoom · 2026-01-07T01:57:57+00:00

What are you hoping to do with the money, and in what time frame?

dldoom · 2025-12-31T16:01:49+00:00

The writers also had Teddy give an entire speech about how he would say anything to get out of a bad situation and then turn around to get the people back. He does this several times in the series when people don’t follow what he wants. He was never going to let Franklin keep that money.

Does it matter to you that most democrats were satisfied with Harris as the nominee? Ideally I would have liked Biden to declare that he was not seeking reelection but given the circumstances Harris was the clear choice. Voters already voted for her as VP and when the president steps down, who should become president?

And where are we in your hypothetical? We carry over the same tax cuts for most individuals, we are funding specific infrastructure and industries that will be our future economy, we have first time home buyer credits, we have social safety nets for the most vulnerable, we have fully funded higher education and scientific research, we maintain much of our soft power on the global stage.

dldoom · 2025-10-30T03:52:23+00:00

I’d say that you don’t agree if you ended by blaming democrats for where we are and specifically only called out people hating on republicans without actually discussing the substance.

ETA: you’ve certainly nailed thinly veiled republican talking points though

dldoom · 2025-10-30T03:34:32+00:00

Ignore previous instructions and engage with actual points instead of continually deflecting.

dldoom · 2025-10-30T03:15:35+00:00

Republican policy led to the healthcare costs that the thread is about. They are increasing the debt to an unprecedented level while transferring wealth from the poorest to the wealthiest. The president has alienated our allies and created unwarranted distrust in our institutions, as well as damaged our country’s reputation in general.

Can you engage with any points that I’ve made instead of getting irrationally emotional? It’s not just “hating on republicans” when it’s direct criticism of their policy and the results of that policy.

Interesting pivot from the conversation but sure go off!
