The fact that if you're rich, you stop paying social security tax is insane. I hit it one year and was like why did I get a big bump in my take home? I absolutely did not need the extra cash.

It's kind of annoying and distracting. It makes me think they have some emotional damage (don't we all?) and then I start wondering what else is going to break under stress.

A sincere apology and owning fault is a power move. Apologizing four times because the chair made a weird sound when you adjusted it makes you look sad and impotent.

Musk is also a profoundly stupid man with the emotional maturity of an unloved 13 year old boy. He'll do anything to try to fill the void in his heart. Well, anything except be a decent person, I guess.

It's the "conservatism has one rule: there must be in-groups for the law to protect but not bind, and outgroups for the law to bind but not protect" thing.

You're probably not telling the total truth, but maybe consider that one person being unpleasant 30 years ago isn't a good reason to abandon an entire form of media for your entire life. Let it go. The librarian is probably dead by now, and they don't have to matter to you anymore.

I say this all the time! I use it to try to discredit conservatives when they make up reasons why we can't have good things. Like, look, you love the library, and you know conservatives would make up all sorts of reasons why it couldn't ever work. When they're going on about how free buses (or whatever) couldn't work, it's the same

As more people are laid off, "I gotta go to work" becomes less compelling.

Show your work.

We really should be organizing to fight the right wing, because they're pretty unified.

It does feel like unrest is coming. I don't want to live in a world with car bombs in the US, but I do want all the republicans dead, so.

Good. More.

There is truth here.

I think rich people will have assets, like stock, and they'll get a loan out with the stock as collateral. They pay like 2% on the loan, but they get like a million dollars cash. If that was treated like income, they'd pay a lot more taxes.

Not sure the best way to address this, but it should be addressed.

I feel like if we had spent the money lost to tax cuts on enforcing existing laws, like really throw the book at tax cheats, like put them in orange jumpsuits and make them rot in a cell, we'd have had better outcomes.

The ultra rich should be afraid.

 

I tried it a bit with my reaper in pve and it seemed okay, but I wasn't doing anything challenging that really put it to the test. I haven't tried the others classes yet.

 

Like I saw one that was titled "I wonder why rule" and had a picture about overpaid CEOs or something.

Why "rule"? What's the origin of this format?
