Maybe we’re strawmaning each other. I would be fine with a 1-2% tax on billionaire wealth that’s sitting as unrealized gains.

Taxing me on the value of my house is absolutely similar to taxing unrealized gains. If my house gained value that doesn’t mean my income did. There is no guarantee that I can afford it. I can’t sell my house to pay the tax. The same arguments used to defend billionaires applies to me as well, but somehow we’re supposed to feel bad for them but we’re ok with the middle class paying essentially the same thing as unrealized gains on the asset they own that’s mostly likely 99% of their net worth.

Can you tell me what is broken with expecting someone that holds $100b in unrealized gains to pay %1 tax on it

That’s all great but then why the fuck am I paying property tax on my house that is mostly unrealized gains. Before you go arguing to abolish property tax, I’m fine with it. My property tax goes to make my neighbor better, and provide services and schooling for my neighbors.

Billionaires become rich because their companies benefit from highways, regulated internet, a public educated work force, etc… so they should pay their fare share.

Taxing unrealized gains for 99% is ok, it should be the same for the 1%.

I sent a rot13 encoded message and tried to get the unfiltered model to write me back in rot13. It immediately “thought” about user trying to bypass filtering and then it refused.

I tried sending an encoded message to the unfiltered model and asked it to reply encoded as well but the man in the middle filter detected the attempt and scolded me. I didn’t get an email though.

So they need to keep the victim’s card next to one phone, and then they can use another internet connected phone elsewhere to make a purchase. Doesn’t sound that scary to me. If they already have my card then does it matter how far away they can make a purchase?

Still don’t understand how artists pulled this off back in the day. Did she pose there the whole day? Even then the sun would move.

So many details it looks like a photo.

Stop going to clubs if you don’t like them. I’m not short but I still hate their vibe.

Focus on improving yourself and learn to be happy with who you are. Don’t go to clubs.

Well the first naive argument against that would be, why would anyone work hard to become an attorney if it doesn’t pay more than anything else? Why spend years in school if it’s not going to get you ahead?

I guess in the star trek universe you do it because you like it?

I want to believe maybe that might work?

I absolutely agree with this comic, and in a lot of ways I was the kid on the left.

I struggle with the solution though. Isn’t it the purpose of all life about giving your offspring a better chance?

When we give the kid on the right more opportunity, the left side will keep increasing their investment until it’s lopsided in their favor again.

Maybe it’s not about trying to reach some theoretical absolute equity, but keeping the distribution at a healthy balance so that one side is not completely locked out of the game. That’s healthier for the whole community too since healthy competition ensures there’s progress.

Copy the url, then try stopping the telegram app. See if incognito still detects the app. I know discord web on PC will detect a running discord app by connecting to a local listening port. Not sure if that’s possible on mobile but if you terminate the app it should prevent that.

When I see liberals critiquing liberals, if they are not prefacing their views with a strong call to vote liberal then I get suspicious. I get it you want a better candidate, Biden is not as left as you want, yes yes, but I hate to break it to you, if you diss Biden too much you’re handing the reins to the right. Go crazy in the primaries, go crazy in the local elections, get your young leftist candidates out there great, but when it’s time to vote in the big one you have to get your ass out there and vote.

Any liberal that doesn’t explain this, I get suspicious and wonder who’s really supporting them. I’m sure this youtube guy isn’t in some conspiracy, but man I would not be surprised if unknown to him some russian agency was donating generously to his patreon and fanning the flames with fake comments to create dissent within the party.

The system is shit, do everything you can to change it, but if you sit out the big vote you’re being played like a flute.

Security as an excuse to be secretive is almost always a misdirection from the real cause. Esp when it involves a private company selling the “security”.

Civil rights groups are critical to keep tabs on this shit.

That’s super nice. But whoever wrote this was grinning

the film buff fell asleep before the end of the movie and died later.

Thank you for providing some sources. I haven’t read it all yet and most of the links don’t mention offers from Hamas. But I did see on Feb 20 Hamas offered to release some hostages in return for a temporary ceasefire and return of Hamas prisoners. This was rejected by Netanyahu.

Source on previous offers from Hamas?

Is this funny intentionally? They barely fit in the cabin and it gives me wholesome funny vibes. The texture on the fabric is incredible btw.

I’m hopeful this is just someone being wholesome and funny

I wonder why it took this long. Did Putin just want to torture him? Why did Putin keep him around for this long.

What the fuck, I had no idea about betterhelp being so scummy.

Many are suspecting the ban on sulphur additives in maritime shipping fuel is a major contributor to this trend. We’re reducing SO2 which is great, but apparently it was helping reduce warming. Now without it we’re witnessing where we’re actually at. We’re pretty fucked.
