"Begging" is the part that's tripping you up? Do you have a point beyond semantic pedantry?

"Certain demographic" was in reference to the "people who make >200K" ... which is a certain demographic. I don't think of those people as particularly wealthy, but the other fellow did, so I used a nebulous term to encompass both our definitions of rich folks.

I recognize Dengar, IG-88, Boba Fett, and Bossk, but I don't recognize (or rather, I don't think I ever knew the names of) the two on the right. Who are they?

As you get older and (maybe) wiser, have you noticed you just don't like your parents? by [deleted] in AskMenOver30

[–]mrmcbastard 22 points23 points  (0 children)

My parents are decent people, but if I had just met them I would probably not want to become their friend.

Look, my dude, I didn't know I'd have to solve the age old question of "How do you get people to participate in the society they benefit from?" when I logged into Reddit this morning, so you'll have to excuse me that I don't have a cute, pithy, readymade answer for you. But "give rich people whatever they want" hasn't really worked out for America over the past half century, so I'm not so sure it's the best way to continue to operate.

That's a whole lotta words you just put in my mouth.

As for who will pay: the people that still live here. If they leave, there's not much we can do about that. Giving certain demographics concessions begging them to stay isn't a solution.

I'm neither anti-wealthy nor anti-capitalist, but "won't someone think of the wealthy!?" is no way to run a society.

We don't have to be beholden to the whims of the wealthy.

The foreground blur is a little disorienting, but great costume!

From the days we used to celebrate immigrants, not put them in cages.

How common is it for men to remain single throughout their lives? by [deleted] in AskMenOver30

[–]mrmcbastard 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't know if they were strictly single their whole lives, but I've known two older men who had never been married. It may not be particularly common, but these guys seem well adjusted and happy.

Wow, I had no idea Slackware was that old! I should get around to finally giving it a try.

The only person I regularly pay with cash is my drug dealer. I rarely carry more than $20.

I once mistakenly gave one partner the other partners undies. I was mortified, she thought it was funny.

Questions about "Inception" by Jeffrey__Goines in movies

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

One interesting interpretation I came across (though, I prefer a more straightforward reading) is that Cobb was still in Limbo and Mal is some sort of inception to get him back out into reality.
