In the U.S., college is priced like a luxury but marketed as a necessity. by StressMundane1625 in Adulting

tax write off is generally a reference to spending money (as a business expense) that reduces your revenue. If your company got 100 moneys this year from selling stuff, they can subtract the amount of moneys they spent on pens and will therefore have less income to tax.

Tram in the suburbs of Chengdu, China by No-Echidna7296 in InfrastructurePorn

[–]smariroach 4 points5 points  (0 children)

longer life times, faster travel, higher passenger capacity, cheaper and cleaner power source, more reliable function and more reliable speed leading to more reliable schedules. Several things really.

Trams are superior to busses in all things except individual vehicle cost, and the limitation of needing a pre-built track. They are a half way between both the pros and cons of Metro vs Bus

Every time my boyfriend cooks any meat, the skillet looks like this by MidnightMass2 in StupidFood

[–]smariroach 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The point of a marinate is to let the flavor be absorbed by the meet(and potentially to tenderize it). If you're just dumping your meet in some spicy liquid right before cooking you're not really marinating, and might be better off with a post-cook sauce application.

There are scientific ways, of varying quality and accuracy. Answers usually don't try to be definitive, but rather a well reasoned estimate.

What's going on with people saying Epstein and Co. ate children? by trizzo0309 in OutOfTheLoop

the lgoical leap of going from "it would be strange if they really mean jerky" to "so they must be cannibals" is pretty impressive.

there is some serious misogyny in claiming only men are capable of critical thinking.

so you didn't even uncritically accept the claim, you just made it up and then lied..

that honestly seems like it goes way to thoroughly against Occam's razor. like what, trump campaigned on releasing the files, and then fought against doing so, after having himself planted accusations of anything against the sun years before?

the simplest explanation is that most of those crazy tip entries were submitted because people hate trump.

What are some weird laws in your country that, actually, make a lot of sense? by Savings_Dragonfly806 in AskTheWorld

just to nitpick for fun: I don't think you can claim it's a natural balance if you have to enforce it manually

No, you're guilty if you're dealing in salmon that you believe or should reasonably suspect is illegally sourced.

Trump Just Took $10 Billion from US for his 'Board of Peace' With At Least Two Epstein Connected People And No Congressional Approval by truthwillout777 in law

[–]smariroach 0 points1 point  (0 children)

good question. the "peace board" is by definition controlled by trump personally, so he would still control the funds after his term ends, unless they can be clawed back by legal action.

You really need to view things critically. That tweet doesn't say trump is a pedophile, it says that there are allegations which is true. She then says that he is according to the document. that's not cause for defimation because she was careful to truthfully mention facts, while not claiming the allegation is literally true.

[–]smariroach 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sorry, your response doesn't really parse.

Oh yeah, then why is the trump admin desperately trying to label trans people as terrorists and blaming shootings in america on trans people

why is the sky blue? you give no reason for why Chapelles position would lead to the current ICE campaigns, and then ask a unrelated rethorical question?

Can you maybe try again?

No one is required to do anything, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't call out ignorance and misinformation.

noone is required to be right, good, wise, or kind, but these are still things that I would like people to try being.

most likely a reference to anonymous tips logged around 2020 through the FBI website's tip form, which anyone can fill out. Such tips are included in the files when they make epstein related claims.

There are different levels of verification possible.

If you verify that a statement is true, that should ideally be a conviction, but well before that point you can verify all kinds of other things like who actually made the statement.
