  I think it has to do with some law where banks are required to cut all financial ties to any company that aids in the production, purchase or selling of CSAM and Sexual Trafficking content etc. so many businesses are wary of any website that provides adult content unless there is the strictest of moderation and verification procedures.

  Which is one of the reasons many websites (tumbler, Reddit) are limiting NSFW content because they want to be able to have users buy things on their website but don’t want to moderate the content to the standards of the banks.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Owing your home today is nearly impossible, but even if you did the ever increasing property taxes will bury you⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  People need to stop thinking about property like it’s any other regular thing like a vehicle.

  Land is not a thing it is a limited resource.

  If someone owns a piece of land in a city it doesn’t matter what they are currently doing with it, even if they do nothing with it, that’s wasting potential that someone else could be doing with it and affects everyone around that piece of land.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Owing your home today is nearly impossible, but even if you did the ever increasing property taxes will bury you⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It doesn’t make sense that cities need to increase property taxes every year though

  Property tax revenue should be increasing every year by default without changing the rate simply because houses and properties increase in value every year typically

  If property tax is 5% and the town makes $100,000,000, the next year if property value increases by 5% then their revenue goes up 5% as well to $105,000,000 automatically. Why do they need to also increase the tax to 6%?

  It would only work if all the privateers get sent to one specific state like Texas and the two systems are kept completely separate.

  Let everyone move to Texas and pay no taxes, but every hospital visit or doctors visit is paid out of pocket or by insurance companies, no one has social security or welfare, every road is a toll road, you pay a private fire fighter company a monthly fee to be on their protective detail, police are private security firms you also need to pay a fee for protection or to investigate any thefts from your property, there’s no mayor or other elected representative for their town because where does the money come from to pay them, the army is also a private security company, the list goes on

  Plus there’s no one saying you can’t reduce reliance on specific countries like China. It is indeed dangerous to rely on any one country for too much. But if you spread it out to many countries and make sure to have some domestic supply for the most important things it would be fine.

  At the moment Trump is targeting all countries, and many for no reason at all.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨dear republicans, what's the point of alienating every single ally of the US?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  China also doesn’t want to interrupt trade, it benefits them just as much as America, that’s how. They won’t invade Taiwan if there’s a threat of war disrupting trade.

  If you isolate the country from China too much then there is no benefit to China not invading. Globalization encourages peace because trade benefits all. Russia is suffering from all their sanctions now, they made a mistake thinking things would be over in a few days and people would get over it. Now they need to grit their teeth and pull through it. No one else wants to be Russia.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨dear republicans, what's the point of alienating every single ally of the US?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t think there is any way to bring back those jobs. You guys are dreaming if you think you can just go back to an economy of the past.

  The world has globalized, America can’t just pretend it hasn’t. Sure you can try and bring everything in house but by alienating allies there are lots of things you just can’t get yourselves like many raw materials, and then you need to worry about exporting to actually bring money into your economy not just move it around in circles.

  Eh, we are currently doing our hiring rounds for a few seasonal positions and have offered the job to a few people who have responded with they need some time to think or are waiting on a few other potential offers.

  That’s all fine and dandy but we tell them they need to respond with a yes or a no by the end of the week because we need to hire someone and if they no we will need to waste another week waiting for our second choice to shop around and eventually have no time left, they get a day to respond or we ask the next one.

  How are they a useful buffer to stand in line for popcorn? If the movie actually started on time instead of showing ads you would just show up 15 minutes early.

  As it is right now people show up “on time” and stand in line for 15 minutes because they know it’s just going to be a shit ton of advertisements but then risk missing the start of the movie because it could be 10 minutes or could be 20 minutes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨is telling an employee how he has to speak micromanaging? Is it toxic?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Communication can be an important part of one’s job and communication encompasses than just being able to speak to someone, but also being able to tailor your speech to your audience.

  If a manager feels that your vocabulary can hinder how much a client or customer will be able to understand than it is reasonable to ask them to tone it down a bit in certain situations. In other where you are communicating with colleagues in adjacent industries it would probably be a boon to have someone sound super smart and knowledgeable and then you want them to tone it up. It’s situational and can be a positive or a negative but the employee needs to be able to recognize the situation they are in and adjust accordingly.

  I have a coworker right now where we have this issue. He’s a very knowledgable person but also a little arrogant and always wants to sound like the smartest person in the room, but when you are explaining stuff to a random person on the street you don’t want him to be blasting off technical jargon and Latin names for shit as it doesn’t help the person understand anything and doesn’t encourage increased dialogue.

  If people / companies don’t believe the stocks will lose value they won’t sell. If they don’t sell they won’t lose value.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨meirl⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Personally Ive got a pirate streaming service which has a mobile app and desktop website to stream anything from Netflix, apple, Disney, Hulu, prime, etc pretty much every service out there and new episodes pop up within a day. It’s no different than opening up the Netflix app. It’s pretty damn easy and convenient. Not perfect as sometimes it lags and you need to watch in lower quality but so much more convenient having everything in one spot than needing to search 5 different apps for something to watch.

  Except that other pizzeria two minutes away isn’t only pricing it’s pizza for walk-ins either, it’s offering free delivery to steal the customers further away from the other pizzeria. They both would have the charge built into their pizza, so it’s irrelevant. Unless that pizzeria doesn’t do any delivery at all, in which case the first pizzeria doesn’t have to worry much as it has all the business for people who don’t want to come in and pick up pizza.

  Companies trying to make foldable phones happen are going the wrong way.

  They are making giant phones that unfold into tablets when really they should be making small phones that unfold into something just large enough you can watch Netflix on.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Doordash deserves it's fate⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The pizza place has free delivery because the cost is built into the pizza and people who pick up at the store pay that even though they don’t get delivery. Using a private delivery service they charge more because they don’t get a piece of the ‘pie’ so you’re basically paying twice for delivery.
