Also false, SS and Medicare taxes are split, but federal income tax is not, with the latter typically being higher.

You probably still won't get it, but replace "dog" with "kid" or "friend" and say that sentence again. That might give you a sense of how attached a lot of people are to their dogs.

Are _you_ saying that it's unfair, or are you speaking for the working class?

So your wife copped to seeking out someone based on expected lifetime earnings? I'd be pretty pissed, personally.

I guess because they're complaining to the professor about it? Nice attempt to turn the table though, with social skills that subtle I bet you'd fit right with the bozos in this class.

Damn you sound like such a clown. "You don't get me Amanda, I'm stalking you because I just have so much respect for you. I'm one of the nice ones!" "Well detective, I felt like we got off on the wrong foot bec

Somewhat tangential to the main point of the article, but wasn't there some big news somewhat recently about sodium-ion batteries reaching "close-enough" parity with lithium-ion batteries for EVs? Did I get hopeful based on f

I can't tell if you're trolling or not. What's so confusing about rational actors reacting rationally to a change in incentives? Do you think there's only one way for a policy to "fail miserably" or something?

I think focusing on birth rates puts attention on the wrong thing when it comes to talking about Japan or other post-industrialized countries. Even the replacement birth rate (i.e. keeping the current population) is at best just-barely sus

I didn't downvote, but I mean, it _is_ a profoundly stupid proposal.

You're probably not wrong, I was waiting in line at a Costco in New Jersey one time, and some beefcake and his girlfriend tried cutting in line. There was an altercation almost immediately, verbal at first, then the beefcake shoved som

As long as we're talking about fair, is it fair that your son, who was given every possible advantage by his well-educated and affluent parents, is graded on the same blind rubric as a kid whose father is a felon for possessing a coupl

Read it over again Magoo: the subject is a specific kind of degree and how it opens doors for a specific industry in the Bay Area. A specific industry known for being insanely competitive and requiring almost comical qualifications to get i

I'm glad someone pointed that out. Most Indians I've known have been completely oblivious both to how the caste system favored them, as well as how ludicrously archaic and objectively absurd it is to outside observers.

Why would you assume no conflict exists between the goals of all the worlds peoples "living like Texans," and preventing environmental catastrophe? The Earth is facing serious climate change just from a plurality of humans living

They can simply not sell them. Palantir "buying" a company in this context means they either buy the owner out or buy controlling shares, in both cases nothing happens from there that they don't want to happen.

I've used KF a bit, mostly to shit-talk the poser metal bro / MAGA bandwagoneer Räzörfist, but when other forums started getting a higher profile I poked around out of curiosity. In terms of specific facts that are misreported, I

That sounds excruciating. I've had those various pieces but never all at one job. I hope you grind that twerp under your tires while driving away after quitting in some epic fashion.

Maybe I'm being cynical, but this strikes me as cover to have a layoff but weasel out of paying severances.

"Savage Department, Randy speaking." For serious though you hit the nail square. Pearl-clutching suburban types are actually moving back into the city where I'm at (to my neighborhood, among others), and it sucks in every way

Presumably reasonable people would find the assertion self-evident, esp. after seeing some of those grotesque tech demos from a few months back.

Hard same. I was none too impressed with seeing "Chad" for that matter. They just needed a "Stacy" or "supreme gentleman" to get the incel trifecta.

That's a very astute observation, one that I've personally seen overlooked several times by people using that data point to support their argument. That kind of statistical begging-the-question annoys me to no end. The number I&#x
