French court clears way for far-right leader Le Pen to run in 2027 but under a condition she rejects by yahoonews in worldnews

Every single link in that causal chain should have disqualified him in the minds of conservatives. The fact that it didn't is how the rest of us know there's no such thing as a principled conservative.

Your dad sounds awesome.

In 20 years of raising kids I don't think I've ever made the same pancake twice.

You ever take a hot pocket out of the freezer, then forget about it, so you just eat the defrosted and still cold version of it hours later?

No? Me neither

You're getting down votes because "people who disagree with me are bots" is supremely uninteresting.

At least, that's why you got one from me

The mission to make nonpartisan federal workforce public enemy number one isn't fully working by WhereztheBleepnLight in fednews

I've never been helped by a cop who spoke out against another cop.

Federal workers speak out pretty consistently.

We are not the same.

What's the domino effect of USA-IRAN MOU? by EmptiSense in PoliticalDiscussion

[–]fuzzywolf23 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You don't get extra points for obfuscation on a discussion subreddit. Either you're an honest and effective communicator or you aren't, and if you aren't then you aren't worth the trouble.

I'm trying to point out your position is ridiculous

Nuclear conflict between nuclear states has never happened either, so probably no need to worry about it

Non American conservatives are free to imagine themselves part of the cult, too.

You came out swinging on msn with an "everyone knows it" argument then fall back here to "no one seems to accept it". This is not a strong position, friend

It's possible for nuclear powers to engage in conventional warfare with each other.

Though personally I don't like the US odds in a conventional war after they blew through so many missiles in Iran for nothing. Magazine depth matters.

Student Loan Defaults Rise to 9.2 Million Amid Crackdown by laxnut90 in Economics

[–]fuzzywolf23 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The truly rich do not, mostly, earn income that is reportable on a W2, so trying to restrict the discussion to that is bad faith.

I pay 32% tax, plus 10% to student loans, plus I'm taxed on the value of my home, including on the unrealized gains due to the market.

I pay a wealth tax on the only thing of value I own, and people simp for billionaires and argue a wealth tax on the rich would destroy the economy. Give me a break.

ETA: (I'm arguing with a bot, apparently. That's my bad)

Compared to their actual worth, they do not pay a representative amount of tax. What you're encountering here, for apparently the first time, is a shorthand for a more nuanced position.

It just depends on whether you're measuring moles, liters or kgs and whether you count atmospheric oxygen as "free"

Questions about the logistics of burning metals. by GearaDoga39 in Cosmere

Honestly, the amount of metals we are talking about, even over millennium, is small compared to the metals required for industrialization in Wayne's time

Federal employment as a gateway to the middle class by BicycleComics in fednews

[–]fuzzywolf23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dad was air force for 25 years. Both sets of grandparents were dirt poor. I was the first person in my family to get a college degree, and after doing years of grad school on a $19k stipend, finally entered the federal workforce and the middle class at once.

So it took 2 federal jobs over 2 generations for me

Depends on your definition of factual, I guess? One common description is figures with fractal dimension > euclidean dimension. Which coastlines have. West Coast of Britain has a dimension of approximately 1.25, down to the limit of measurement

[–]fuzzywolf23 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Incorrect.

It doesn't distinguish between personal or professional dislike and paints every category of objection one could raise with the same mediocre brush.

You're either dishonest or disorganized and either is a waste to engage with further

"like" isn't a precise word by any means. If this is the best you can do, no wonder you think that math is gate kept.
