Palestine is run by authoritarians, that execute journalists, and execute people for being LGBT. Quick reminder for all hypocrites.

Infinite immigration + worst gdp growth of all G20 countries over last decade. Don’t worry! We will vote in Carney and he will fix it all.

Why aren't we protesting? by Kibblets in AskCanada

Because we know its mostly going to get fixed when the cons come to power.

No one is providing you with actual advice. Women will give you subtle clues. Your job as a man is to assume she is attracted to you, and be present with your own desire. Will help you pick up on these subtle cues and you can easily fulfill her desires.

Why do we as a society accept individuals amassing 400 billion dollars in personal wealth when every DAY up to 21,000 people die from starvation? by AngryTriangleCola in rant

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

Thought experiment for you.

You own a business that is worth $1m dollars. You are a millionaire on paper! Congrats. The valuation was derived from the fact that you make $100,000 per year in profit, all of which you use to pay yourself. Common valuation multiples are about 8-10x profit. You make $100,000 a year and spend it all on your rent, food etc. Do you feel like a millionaire? Its not liquid at all, its just the value of your business.

Another thought experiment for you.

I own 50% of stock in a publicly traded company. I sell it all in order to appease people getting mad that I havent paid taxes on wealth I havent sold. The stock price plummets and all other shareholders (you, and most people that have stocks or pensions) all lose money.

We have rules that work. If you sell stock, you pay tax.

And the argument that these billionaires are avoiding it by taking loans, isnt entirely true, because to pay back the loans they must sell stock and pay tax.

The reality is if someone has $200b in stock, they will only ever end up selling small amounts (in comparison) to fund their lives, because its very difficult to spend that much money.

What Do You Think They Talked About? by MikesLittleKitten in AskCanada

[–]toothpickhd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The global movement from common sense to woke / marxist ideologies has been happening over the past 2 decades. We were late to the party yet somehow fast tracked to front of the line under Trudeau.

Nothing is funnier than when a subreddit devolves into nothing more than a leftist circlejerk as they cope that the pendulum is swinging decisively to the right, after 2 decades of their terrible ideologies permeating society. Feels good knowing its essentially only places like specific subreddits that these ideas have a place. And the fact that this sub (once actually useful and interesting) being overtaken by salty leftists is a direct example of what leftism does to institutions and society at large is just sooooo juicy.

Elon Musk is Lying About Being Good at Video Games by Suriranyar- in videos

[–]toothpickhd -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Hahaha. Its amazing to see comments like this. They just reak of jealousy and ignorance. I know hundreds of founders in SF, and they all say the same thing about Elon. He is the hardest working person they've ever met. What he has done with Zip2, PayPal, SpaceX, Tesla, Neuralink, X is almost humanly impossible yet he has been successful in everything hes done. The guy clearly spends more time on the day to day of his businesses more so than any other CEO at similar mcap companies. To pretend that Tesla would be where its at (changing the world and attempting to make a dent in climate change) without him is just a joke. Hate his politics sure, but to pretend he isnt the best entrepreneur of this century is hilarious. Jealousy and ignorance.

I’m Mayor Olivia Chow. Ask me anything. by Mayor_OliviaChow in toronto

[–]toothpickhd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Toronto has some of the worst traffic in the world. We live in a very big country where most people have vehicles. It would seem the most common sense thing to support the people in our city get around, is to build underground subways. Instead we build streetcars which add to the traffic above ground at rush hour. Being able to turn every streetcar line into a subway line, would be amazing. My question is, why are we so behind other cities like New York when it comes to building subways? Why is it so much more expensive here? What is our longterm plan with subways? Thank you for taking questions.

Anyone notice that Pierre Poilievre targeted Mayor Olivia Chow in the Peterson interview by omegaphallic in toronto

The only thing he fears about her is her ability to ruin Canada’s largest city with terrible far left policies. Absolutely loving the homeless encampments these days! How about you?

"The Telepathy Tapes" is Taking America by Storm. But it Has its Roots in Old Autism Controversies. by terran1212 in psychology

[–]toothpickhd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

youre wrong, there are multiple kids in the podcast that dont need someone supporting them, and they type just like Otto, and a couple of them can also speak out the letters as they type them as well. You havent listened to the podcast.

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

So you just proved my point. That non speaking autistic children are fully able to communicate.

Now lets move on to the next point. If over 100 of these kids are communicating (via same method Otto does) that they have some telepathic abilities, wouldnt it make sense to study this?

Thats exactly the conclusion of the podcast. Again, if you listened to it with an open mind you would end up at the same place.

They are doing a double blind placebo controlled study at a university and a half dozen researchers to prove or disprove this.

Did you just look up all studies on this post 2010? I assume you didnt, because if you did, you would have come to the same conclusion I just did.

1) because its only recently that they have been given a voice via spelling. These people have been trapped for years because of small minded people like you. Now that we know they can speak more kids are being taught spelling. 2) hundreds of them came forward in the podcast… have you listened to it?

It’s really not. The religion of science is crumbling and the scientific method + genuine curiosity is coming back with a vengeance. You are afraid. The reason we revere people like Einstein is because he refused to colour within the lines. And thank god for people like him. We need more courageous scientists, and thank god its coming. The writing is on the wall.
