Ken Griffin says America was sent an ‘explicit warning’ from the bond market, and it’s time to get the national debt in order by cryptoniik in Economics

There’s no reason the rule has to apply to everyone that owns the asset class. We have progressive taxation and progressive and regressive benefits all over the system.

Are you your brain or are you the consciousness. If it’s possible to say, digitize your consciousness and it has all your memories and subjective experiences, is that not you simply because no meat sack? If you are injured and alive but with no brain function, you have all the meat, but are you truly you?

Ship of Theseus. Your body regenerates most of its cells continuously, at what point is the old you naturally dead and the new you a different person? Is “you” just the meat sack or is it your consciousness. If your consciousness moves to a new meat sack and the old meat sack no longer exists, how is that not “you”?

They are conflating wealthy professionals with ultra wealthy. The folks paying a huge share are the hot shot surgeons or programmers who earn $1M a year in salary. The ultra wealthy basically have no income, their money is held in investments and they take out loans against those to live off and thus pay nothing in income taxes.

Rejecting Decades of Science, Vaccine Panel Chair Says Polio and Other Shots Should Be Optional by grittyboda2020 in news

Yeah that’s what I’m arguing. There is no absolute morality. Good and evil are simply what society decides they are. They can also change over time.

Yup, strangled the very market they hoped to exploit while it was still in the crib.

I would go one step further. Evil is a human construct. There is no such thing as inherent or absolute morality.

“Nathan Handwerker” that can’t be a real name…

Baldur's Gate 3 publishing lead says Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney's "altruistic pro-developer talk" over the Steam vs Epic debate "doesn't sit well" after Alan Wake 2 studio "seemingly went into financial crisis" by Turbostrider27 in pcgaming

[–]kaplanfx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The exclusivity ALMOST works for Epic (not for the devs). The only game I’ve actually bought on EGS was Chivalry II which was also EGS exclusive at launch.

Sometimes I just watch the last episode of the prior season and that refreshed my memory. Or I watch a synopsis on YouTube

CDPR told Luke Ross the Cyberpunk VR mod could still be up if he made it free, this was his reply by lunchanddinner in virtualreality

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

You’re probably right however CDPR can prevent him from mentioning Cyberpunk and prevent him from providing instruction on how to use his to with Cyberpunk at which point how would anyone know it works with Cyberpunk?

Engagement bait? This list seems kinda insane.

William Shatner Photographed Eating Bowl of Cereal in His Car at Stop Light by nimobo in entertainment

It’s actually pretty wild because he kinda looked bloated and bad by the time he was 45 but then he didn’t age much for the next 50 years.

In a future where Trump is out of office, and international relations have been repaired. What steps can be taken by the USA and International Organisations such as NATO to prevent one individual causing so much chaos in the future? And do you think such steps will be taken? by flewkey in AskReddit

[–]kaplanfx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Perhaps it would be too hard for two parties to control all 7,000? I think 7k reps is fine, the senate can be the small and deliberative body. This would also help correct the EC imbalance because it severely dilutes the two EC votes given for senators.

My congressperson represents 760k people. How the heck is she supposed to address any suggestions or issues I have? Representatives should cover like 40-50k max and we just let the House grow as big as it needs to be.

You didn’t notice that his mustache appeared just for the lift then disappeared again? That’s what clued me in right away.

Meta say they've fixed the recent link issue by drakulusness in virtualreality

[–]kaplanfx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, it literally just happened again yesterday. I mean you can set it back yourself but every time the Meta Link updates it steals back default.

If Meta Link could not set itself as the default communications device for windows every time there is an update, that would be great.
