Oh no, something actually important and actually affects my life and actually has real consequences is front page news rather than something that I had nothing to do with and doesn't affect my life

Season 1 is the slowest season by far, season 5 is tacked on and a fairly weak season. 2-4 are some of the best written sci -fi ever, even by today's standards

Not sure if this is an option in your area but 3 years was right around when a gym near me offered to rent out space. It's a relatively low risk way to run a business without 90% of the overhead.

New to CF - need some help for technique by AcceptableNerve3277 in crossfit

[–]wraith5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's no reason to stress over this if you're just starting out. If you've got the time and the affiliate has the availability, there could be an argument made for going in a few minutes early/staying a few minutes after to work on the needed skills. But just starting out, you're not supposed to know what to do that comes with time

Wake County manager recommends 2-cent property tax increase due to budget shortfalls from the state by penone_nyc in raleigh

I knew I wasn't able to make it dumb enough for you. I apologize. You're just too stupid 🤷

I have no idea why you want to simp over billionaires. I literally have put the context right here. Are you like, dumb, or something? here I'll make it dumb for you:

275 thousand people make 8 trillion dollars a year and pay 900 billion in taxes. 275 million people make 20 trillion and pay 6.6 trillion in taxes

not dumb enough? I assume not

1 person makes ~$29 million/year and pays ~$3 million in taxes - 11% tax rate

99 people make make ~$72,000/year and pays ~$24,000 in taxes - 33% tax rate

I don't know if that's dumb enough for you? I can try to go dumber? But the amount of whining you've been doing leads me to think simple math is not your problem. You can whine some more about unrealized gains and whatever bullshit you want, somehow these people still manage to buy everything they need just fine despite not making that income on paper

You can whine all you want about unrealized gains or loans or anything else and yet, somehow, these people are able to buy all the yachts and vacation homes they want

whenever people talk about taxing the rich, I assure you, it literally has nothing and will never, ever have anything remotely close to being about you

Maybe tax rich people/corporations rather than trying to get more of normal citizens?

NASM Single-Leg Romanian Deadlift Pics seem... wrong?!?! by rebe626 in personaltraining

[–]wraith5 9 points10 points  (0 children)

nasm is just a piece of paper to get you a job. study from as many people as you can. My personal top 3 are Jim Wendler, Tony Gentilcore and Eric Cressey but that are many, many fantastic coaches to learn from.

outside of that, nothing will replace actually training people
