Truly groundbreaking that they found a woman corrupt enough to head the IOC British Olympic Committee.
“Don’t take that raise, it’ll put you in a higher tax bracket!”
Some people who don’t understand tax brackets actually believe this is good advice.
Over $100,000 isn’t exactly wealthy anymore. Under $100,000, in some areas, is a real struggle. The poverty line for a family of four if $31,000. You’d have to get pretty far past that to consider traveling for leisure.
Yep. It’s the most IP-friendly court in the country. Patent trolls always file there if they can.
Was the test administered by a psychologist? Were you evaluated for any learning disabilities?
His competitors should pay a series people to take the job and waste his time, aggravate him, cause scandals, etc.
Nice explanation, thanks. I would read more.
Do you also have brief, pointed argument against crypto/blockchain that you use in casual conversation? The subject comes up fairly frequently and I know it’s all bullshit but I usually struggle to explain why. What key points would you make to people who might be starting to get seduced by the hype or who are already sucked in?
This whole idea is not just dystopian but really fucking stupid.
What is it about tech bros that a little success makes them think they’re geniuses with no bad ideas? Unsocialized A-type personality nerds are going to fuck this world up.

Yeah, if Loops is the fediverse answer to TikTok then I wanna know who asked cuz they need a slap.
That’s the probably the angle.
“His do we get entice people who hate cruise ships to get on a cruise ship?”
“Point out that, unlike democracy, it’s a boat that Trump can’t sink?”
“Hmm… you may be on to something…”
Almost ensures that Trump will try to stay more than four years—if he even lives that long. But, yeah, from the White House yo prison would be ok with me.
I hope all CIA operatives have an escape plan.
Isn’t it illegal to use the military internally? The National Guard, maybe. But, they answer to the state government.
He’ll have pushback if not outright mutiny from the military if he tries to use them against civilians, citizens or not.
Don’t over think it. You’re going for a walk and the other person is going on the same walk. Talk about your experience on the walk, ask about theirs. Let conversation happen.
If you’re going to be attracted to this person, you’ll know.
It’s possible that you’re just asexual like 1 out of every 100 people. It’s possible that there are circumstances of your past that contribute to this and your social anxiety. A therapist should be able to help sort that out.
Sets an example for others, especially the younger generation. Reinforces that living up to a principle can benefit everyone. Puts ethics above selfishness, greed, hate.
Humans change their behavior based on what they see other humans doing. A person seeing most people or people of influence acting primarily in self-interest makes them that person more likely to do the same.
And, no, Libertarians, everyone acting in self-interest does not lead to better outcomes. That’s a childless myth.
No, keep it just crazy enough but not evil and sprinkle in truth and progressive revolutionary propaganda.

Replacement for table saw in a small home
I recently sold of a table saw that I wasn’t using mainly because I lacked room to store and use it.
If I want to do some DIY small building and remodeling projects, what’s a good alternative?
Example of projects I have in mind: cutting down parts of a kit cabinet that doesn’t fit in the space; building a small credenza; possibly cutting lumber for framing a shed.
