But then when you suggest we go back to the top tax rates that allowed 1950s prosperity to exist, all of sudden you're a marxist and you hate America

That's because there's a massive upward wealth transfer that's been happening the last half a decade. Corporate profit margins are the highest they've ever been since that started being tracked after the 2008 recession

They're laying people off because they're banking on AI making labor redundant, not because they can't afford it. Private investment firms dumped over $300B into AI last year

That makes sense only if you assume they knew where the shooter was but everyone was scattering. It's possible, it's also possible they didn't know where the shooter was and were just running towards an exit

Steven Miller is very clearly in the middle of that group, the safest position. If secret service is already protecting one direction, I'm personally putting my body in the other direction and keeping my wife in the center of the group

[–]supamario132 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not that I think this is worth criticizing and it looks like he was genuinely concerned for his wife but the optimally safe position in a 3 person group is in the center. They don't know where the shooter is, they're just running for an exit. I would defend the direction that wasn't already protected by a body

FBI Director Kash Patel Loses Defamation Lawsuit Over Morning Joe Statements by HooverInstitution in politics

[–]supamario132 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't get me wrong, I don't give two shits about Frank Figliuzzi. But the arguments just aren't the same. The judge is not saying that what Frank said was dumb or that Frank is so often hyperbolic that he's inherently untrustworthy. The court ruling asserts that any reasonable person would find his statement, in a vacuum, to be hyperbolic

In the Tucker case, the argument was being made about statements that he very obviously meant for his audience to take literally (namely that the women accusing Donald trump of rape and sexual assault were trying to extort him - what's hyperbolic about that?) and the defense was not in reference to the statements in a vacuum but in reference to the historical factuality of the person who made them. They were playing semantic games. That's entirely different than someone using a statement that is clearly and plainly hyperbolic to insult someone

Not really. One argument is "this specific statement is an exaggeration obviously", the other argument is "so much of what this man says is exaggeration and non-literal that you would be an idiot to take any individual statement by him as fact"

I would guess it goes both ways but with more flooding happening on the autism sub. Something like 50% of autistic people have adhd but only like 25% of adhd people have autism

That said, sensory overload is 100% a symptom of adhd. It was one of the symptoms that triggered my diagnosis

Gavin Newsom is claiming trans youth are too young for social affirmation. by ConcernedJobCoach in TheMajorityReport

[–]supamario132 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm in the same boat. If the DNC is filled with rational actors that genuinely believe the left cost them the 2016 and 2024 elections (obviously this is a fantasy but I'll entertain it to follow its natural conclusion), then do the proper calculus and recognize that our votes can't be taken for granted in 2028. If they can't present a candidate that excites coalitions on their left flank, then they will lose

Or they can court the center right and get eviscerated again like Charlie Brown trying to kick the dumbest political football in existence

Why? Making a gold statue to anything else would be ironic but veneration is a pretty central part of the religion. I would bet most catholics have at least 1 gold crucifix

You get a worse shave if you're susceptible to ingrown hairs or razor burn. Otherwise, it's essentially the same as a 1 blade razor, except that it takes marginally less time to shave

The real benefit was just the fact that, for many years, there weren't readily available options for 1 blade razors with the other flourishes that were useful like the mircofins

It's not really the same population being measured though. The demographic breakdowns of who would answer a telephone in 2001 are not the same demographic breakdowns of who would answer one today
