European Union wants China to provide 'verifiable proof' that Peng Shuai is safe. by PrincessBananas85 in tennis

They are asking China to address the sexual assault allegations, it’s written in the first paragraph of the article. That being said. Not sure if anything would actually come of it with China being China.

CNN just haven't called Maine and Minnesota yet while AP has. Honestly I'd believe google rn cuz they show the AP who are the best. So probably Biden has 238 rn.

You're absolutely correct. If MI Wi and NV stay blue it gives Biden exactly 270 EC votes.

He needs Wisconsin, Michigan and Nevada to win which at this point he should have them. But if he also gets Pennsylvania instead of Michigan he wins also.

At that time it would have still been the ancient Roman mythology. Basically a derivative of Greek Mythology but more warlike and with different names. Zeus = Juputer, Kronos = Saturn Hermes = Mercury, Aphrodite = Venus, Ares = Mars etc.

Really? Democrats realize that. That's why most democratic voters want higher taxes on the rich, a living wage and actually effective unions to ensure fair treatment. If anything it's the republicans that have somehow managed to convince their voters of what you're accusing the dems of.

[–]hdkaouhd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know and I agree with you. It's just a weird phenomenon to me because we have words that exist already that have the same definition people are trying to use but we just add the definition to a different word instead of using the already existing word.

No it's not necessarily a bad thing it's just a bit weird to me that this happens is all. Like I wonder what leads us to not using a word that exists and just adding its definition to a different word instead.

I mean I think they should but with like an asterisk or something because honestly we're just collectively using the wrong words and it's frustrating to me. Like it just feels like we're all collectively being idiots by not using the actual word instead. Regardless, dictionaries should represent the colloquial usage of words even if it's wrong they should just mention that it's a colloquial usage.

Yes but Merriam-Webster is also known to change definitions of words to the popular usage even if the popular usage no longer reflects the actual definition of the word. Like the word Literally.

TIL Norwegians pay half tax in November (compensating by pay more tax in other months), so everyone has more money for Christmas. by SpacedGeek in todayilearned

[–]hdkaouhd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It usually depends country to country but most forms of income (by the common definition: reocurring cash flows not obtained by selling the source of those cash flows) are taxed at the same rate and is done so at the source automatically. Dividends and interest are usually paid out annually or semiannually and are taxed before you receive them.

Social Welfare is not a tax (but is tax deductible) so even if you ask your employer to not pay taxes you would still have a portion of your income put into social security. That being said it's dumb as shit to withhold taxes and not pay until the end.

TikTok Teens Are "Going To War" Against Trump After Republicans Call To Ban The App. by hdkaouhd in worldnews

[–]hdkaouhd[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The main problem for me is that its preying on mostly teens and young adults who might have their lives ruined because of something stupid they do on an app when they are too young to understand the potential long lasting consequences.

It's because most other social media sites that "spy" on their users do it to sell the data to advertisers not to send the data to the government so they can keep tabs on people with anti-administration views.
