  • Nah, also you’re never going to lose out on income by making more money.

    Like others said, the only possible exception is if you’re getting government assistance and get kicked off programs you’re in because you went past the cut off. So, as an example, let’s say you’re low income and you get vouchers for school. You could make enough money that you’re no longer eligible for that benefit but the amount you make over the cut off is less than what the benefit was.

    But, that’s a specific situation. At no time will your taxes increase more than whatever additional income you’re getting. Period.

    I’ve tried to explain that too many times now in my life and I’m not even that old. Just a lot of people are bamboozled by propaganda and lies.






  • That article is really fuzzing up the definition of “poop,” I’d argue over half those entries are just how the thing poops weirdly. I guess if you get into semantics it may be technically true but I just consider pooping to be eliminating bodily waste so to me that whole article is like, “look how oddly these things poop.” 😅


  • I’m not forgetting. It’s just that Russia is clearly dictating some major USA foreign policy and was from 2016 to 2020 as well.

    Obviously it’s not black and white, the world is full of gray, but just looking at it through a realpolitik lens the USA is squandering our international goodwill. It may be at the negotiating table and the UN, ceding territorial control via soft power (ie: blowing up USAID which is an idea so retarded it’s embarrassing) that gave us access to resources and good will for where we stick all our military bases, letting Russia dictate terms on the surrender of Ukraine, talking about pulling out of NATO (also insane) and at least working at odds with it… Etc.

    Sorry for the run on sentence.

    Anyways I’m just saying sure some Russian elites are also stroking off Trump at times but that’s just window dressing. If anything they’re doing it because Trump is so incredibly egotistical he can be easily manipulated by pretending to care more about him. That and they want to use him to help launder money and assets (see: cryptocurrency and real estate deals).





  • I fucking hate stock market bullshit it’s just made up of people’s feels. Not even grounded in reality in the slightest.

    Maybe when people collectively realize this ridiculous smoke trick of run away capitalism as our means of social organization is just that, smoke, we may have a chance.

    But I guess in the meantime I wish I would have bought Bitcoin years ago even though it’s being treated as a security when it’s backed by thin air. It’s wild how concentrated the actual amount of Bitcoin is though. It’s like an oligarch’s wet dream.





  • Just because they live in a clown world doesn’t mean we do.

    Honestly at this point I don’t know if any Trump voters are intelligent enough to understand how wrong they are and how they’ve enabled really shitty people to do horrible things.

    Like, genuinely, is it worth even trying to be nice or have a conversation in good faith when it’s basically impossible to do that even if you try. These folks are so far divorced from reality you can’t have a good faith convo because they don’t respect truth and won’t engage in good faith themselves.

    You can’t really force these idiots to understand how wrong this shit is when they seemingly can’t even comprehend it. Like they’re just genuinely that fucking dumb.




  • Man I had a hard time understanding his vocals but that might have just been the sound mixing on the broadcast. Heard that it was clearer on YouTube or other places to watch just the performance by itself. Probably easier to make out in the stands, no idea though.

    If I listened real hard I caught some of it but that’s probably also because my ears are not tuned well for a lot of hip hop just in general I have a hard time picking up lyrics for a lot of rap artists.

    Still, you’re spot on with the racism perspective - honestly it’s just people whining it’s not “their” kind of music. Ok, well, taste is subjective and I thought it was a banging show even if I didn’t clearly hear everything he said. Conservatives just want to be racist but pretend they’re not racist. When I hear someone say, “I’m not racist,” 95% of the time it’s because they’re racist and said or did some racist shit.
