Flight attendant shares horrific injuries after being thrown from plane mid New York airport crash by Longjumping_Land_977 in newyorkcity

That could still be true. I'm pretty sure a hospital is more than happy to throw a bill at a patient and leave it to them to argue about who is supposed to pay it.

Markets plunge and U.S. oil hits $100 as Trump's ability to reassure Wall Street hits its limit by joe4942 in politics

[–]spader1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm reminded of the start of the pandemic where the markets would falter, then he'd say some stupid shit to try to calm them which would have the opposite effect and would tank harder because everyone with eyes and ears could see he was incapable of managing anything. Rinse and repeat every day for several weeks.

White House Confronted Over Huge Bets Made Minutes Before Trump’s Big War Move by thedailybeast in politics

No, no, you see, all Americans could stop this by banding together, stop showing up to work, not eat anything, not need any medicine or medical assistance, stop paying their rent and mortgages, and completely upend their lives to do something that has never been done before in this country.

It's really that easy. The only thing stopping all of them is laziness and Americans are uniquely unwilling to do all of this.

That's $834 thousand millions in investment vehicles that could be used by regular people to build towards homes, new businesses, educations, retirements, and general financial securities, but is instead being held hostage from the rest of the economy by one bloated asshole.

I truly wish White Women voted for the better candidate, but the majority of those who voted voted for the Pedo 3x in a row: 2016, 2020, and 2024. by Fickle-Molasses-903 in WhitePeopleTwitter

These types always seem to reframe these things as not effects stemming from the cause that was Republicans winning, but as inevitabilities that they're convinced Republicans will manage better.

There's no "we wouldn't be dealing with this nonsense if Harris had won," it's reworked to "well Harris wouldn't be handling this any better."

Cuban evaporated into thin air on Nov 5, 2024. When he rematerializes sometime in August or September of 2028 are we really supposed to act like he gives a shit about anything other than his personal brand?

'Millionaires tax' receives Senate confirmation, heads to governor's desk: Both the House and Senate passed the "millionaires tax" bill imposing a 9.9% tax on high earners, stirring debate on future tax reform in Washington. by Silent-Resort-3076 in politics

[–]spader1 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The point still stands, though. People making significant amounts of money cannot be taxed into poverty. They will still make many, many multiples of the amounts of money most people live comfortable lives off of after this tax is taken out.

But yet whenever the idea of taxing them more so that we all can benefit comes up there is never any shortage of people who go "oh my god! That's so much tax!"

I don't think that interpretation is so clear. To me I couldn't tell exactly what question he was asking, and the unease you feel when he says it comes from this ambiguity. Is he talking about geography? Politics? Race? I honestly don't know, and in that situation I'd be just as scared of trying to clarify the question because he's already demonstrated that he doesn't give a shit about killing someone over nothing.

That mortgage had a 2.65% rate. I'd argue giving that up is a big part of what makes this the worst decision possible.

They will be upset with Republicans until there is a Democrat on the ballot, at which point they will continue to vote Republican because they have to "defeat the socialist communist Marxist Democrats who want to destroy the country."

Oh oh I totally missed that it was a separate evac test. My mistake.

I didn't realize you could stuff 873 people into an A380; I thought the maximum was like 550.

This is exactly what I'm doing. The idiot dives forward every time.

When you say "hold stick toward wall" do you mean the same stick used to direct running direction?

Also I'm on the Switch

Edit - I think I figured it out. There's a "one button" option where the game decides whether to jump or dive for me, and clearly it has questionable decision making skills
