- Comment on Billionaires with $1 salaries – and other legal tax dodges the ultrawealthy use to keep their riches 2 hours ago:
The tl;dr is:
- That dementia riddled shithead Reagan changed the law to allow companies to buy back stock. This is classic stock manipulation and was illegal before that piece of shit was elected by the same degenerate demographics that are fucking up shit today.
- Billionaires will “borrow” say, $100 million dollars, using their stock as collateral. Now they only have to pay the interest, low single digits, instead of actual income tax.
And a key quote from the article:
As a result, loopholes abound that allow the wealthy to shelter their money from taxation. These mechanisms are so effective that even though the wealthiest 1% of Americans own $50 trillion, the entire amount collected by the estate tax in 2024 was about $30 billion, an amount that Musk has gained and lost in a day.

What a great shitpost. Fueled a strong comment section. Well done!
- Comment on Hrmmm 1 day ago:
It’s all shooting, but the indoor galleries seem to make the concussive effects a bit worse.
- Comment on Hrmmm 2 days ago:
People should also be aware that shooting guns causes physical brain damage, so they should take that into consideration.
- Comment on Alabama is forcing incarcerated people to work at hundreds of companies, including McDonald’s & Wendy’s. Unionizing is illegal. The state takes 40% of wages. 4 days ago:
That was hard to watch. Jesus christ. This damn country is so fucked up.
- Comment on Billie Eilish and "stolen land" 1 week ago:
I could be wrong, and I’m sure I’ll be pilloried if so, but I don’t think the ‘stolen land’ part is really the point of the statement. To me it’s more about pointing out the difference between ‘undocumented’ and ‘illegal’. In the same vein as ‘unhoused’ vs ‘homeless’. Or the classic ‘tomato’ vs ‘tomato’. To me it seems to get lost in pedantic weeds and I prefer the Shakespeare observation of a rose by any other name.
- Comment on Ohio State Stars Make Bonehead Comment About Indiana After National Title Run 1 week ago:
They lost by a field goal, so players saying they’d win in a rematch is a “bonehead” comment? It’s a stupid sport with stupid players, but this is weird baity writing. Or I should say, real “bonehead” writing. Besides we all know <fill in team name> would beat both of them in a rematch.
- Comment on 1 week ago:
You, and I, typing this, in a thread about non-standardization certainly blows a hole or two in your simple thinking. It’s weird to think of flexible thinking as simple. I would say I envy your rigid comprehension, but I don’t. It would be awful to be lost when someone says N Celsius instead of N Fahrenheit or vise versa. What a miserable, difficult way to try to make it through life.
- Comment on 1 week ago:
These threads always make me laugh. Maybe because of the way/where I was raised I really don’t care at all what anyone uses.

Looks like you’d have some good point breaks. Like legendary.
- Comment on EXCLUSIVE: OnePlus Is Being Dismantled 2 weeks ago:
I’ve had a 7t for I don’t know how many years. I always hate phone shopping. I hope that there is something like fairphone available when this thing dies. I just want to have a replaceable battery. I’d probably still have a phone from a decade ago if I could replace the battery.
- Comment on What's it going to take to truly stop the US? 5 weeks ago:
Huh, I didn’t know that about China. TIL.
- Comment on What's it going to take to truly stop the US? 5 weeks ago:
Russia invaded Ukraine and was immediately under many sanctions. I don’t get why the world doesn’t treat the US the same way. Aside from greed.
- Comment on Meetings 5 weeks ago:
Most meetings, in my obviously limited experience, are held by people who don’t have anything else to do. And all the people who need to get shit done are pissed about having to sit through a meeting that could have been handled with a short email.
- Comment on How does Chuck Schumer still have a job? 5 weeks ago:
Ah, I thought that Hillary ended up getting more votes. I must be wrong. I’m in no way denying the fuckery that went along with it, from the DNC to media doing everythign they could to keep Bernie out, but in the end, voters are the ones who vote. Tell me again about how it’s not ultimately the voters.
- Comment on How does Chuck Schumer still have a job? 5 weeks ago:
How does/did Schumer, Grassley, Graham, Pelosi, McConnell, Feinstein, and so on, stay in power? I always get downvoted and naysayed when I say this, but American voters fucking suck. Just the absolute worst. People will blame the two party system, and they do have a point there, but those same people don’t show up in the primaries to make a difference. They’re too scared to vote for change, as they’ve shown over and over. Just a bunch of ignorant, self-satisfied, cowards.
- Comment on Why do Interstate highways exits post the nearby jail/prison/detention center? 5 weeks ago:
I’ve only noticed them at the prisons that are out in bummfuck Cali. Off the 5 in the Central Valley, like OP said, or out in the desert off the 10.
- Comment on Why do Interstate highways exits post the nearby jail/prison/detention center? 5 weeks ago:
So you won’t pick up escapees hitchhiking.
- Comment on Add a third, larger bar for "knowing the right people" skills 1 month ago:
I stopped accepting offers to be in the interview stage after too many, what I thought were, great interviews ended up being shitty workers. Being a great interview seems to be an appropriate bar to jump over for sales, and upper management.
- Comment on Lakers' Austin Reaves out at least 4 weeks with left calf strain 1 month ago:
Gives him a nice long break going into the second half of the season. Hopefully he’ll come back healthy and hungry.
- Comment on 19 States Sue to Block White House Plan to End Gender-Related Care for Minors 1 month ago:
This is one of those issues that effects a miniscule percentage of the population. But for those people, it has been shown to save lives and improve general happiness (You know the quote: “…certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”). Yet at the same time, there are swatches of hateful bigots that feed mindlessly on this swill and will base their entire vote on being able to shit on marginalized communities. It’s so fucking awful.

I thought Typst looked interesting, I just have too many years of LaTex mental patterns and Vim shortcuts to be bothered to try it. I’ve suggested Typst to a couple of friends who later said,“thanks.”

How does gnumeric work for you? That’s my spreadsheet goto, but to be fair I have very simple demands.
- Comment on it is legal to keep a kangaroo as a pet in oklahoma 1 month ago:
Now I’m off to see how they are as pets. Awful would be my guess.
- Comment on UK Wants All iPhones to Block Explicit Images Unless You Prove Age 1 month ago:
The things politicians will do to keep the plebes from focusing on real problems…
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
Right wingers are freaking idiots. I wouldn’t let anything that comes from that bunch of xenophobic, racist, strong-man-loving turds. Asking a right winger to explain their viewpoint will just make you feel dumber. Why are you even caring what some stupid, inbred, shallow-thinking bigots think or say?
- Comment on Naz Reid gets a huge block that leads to a monster jam by Jaden McDaniels 2 months ago:
I’ve not watched the sport in years, so forgive my ignorance. Is carrying like that not a penalty these days? Why do they dribble at all if that’s allowed?
- Comment on Not sure if this is a science meme but politicalmemes hated it so I'll try here 2 months ago:
Seems like it should be red-pill = science based, informed decisions. Blue pill = weird, ignorant, gut responses which deny reality.
