...you can't ruin finances by knocking some one into a different tax bracket. This statement alone proves you don't understand how tax brackets work

On a tangent, why are all of these companies pushing AI programming? This shit isn't nearly as functional as they make it seem and all the beginners who try it are constantly asking questions about why their generated code doesn't work

I find the internet is super good at locking people into echo chambers. For some reason, I feel especially keen on this when I was super into reddit over the last decade. I could FEEL just how a community would shift into just saying the same 10 things on repeat and any deviation would result in downvotes and messages in my inbox.

But it's not just reddit. Modern video feed algorithms and other social media just need to feed you the same stuff you've engaged with previously.

So what ends up happening is young boys only see the videos of angry purple haired stereotype liberal feminist first year college student get SLAMMED/DESTROYED by Ben Shapiro or Jordan Peterson or a woman who is clearly saying something sarcastic with sad sigma male music in the background and all the comments are calling for her to be put in prison or death.

And that's not to say people don't experience these types IRL and it morphs their opinions, my sister is this stereotype and is pretty fucking stupid and she will get into heated debates on Facebook about stuff she has no idea about. She'll read a headline and form a whole mindset of bullshit around it and never verify if it was just a click bait article posted to Facebook to get ad revenue with no concept of journalist integrity. It's really difficult talking to her about anything political because even though I'm pretty liberal/progressive myself, she'll just say things that are factually wrong and when I try to talk to her about it she takes it as me disagreeing and won't listen to reason or logic outside of her preconceived image of reality. Very difficult person

I often have to look at her and remind myself that people like her are a very small portion of the population and aren't really indicative of the masses.

Imagine that, a pastor actually thinking to himself "what would Jesus do?" and doing that, and being punished for it.

This is why I, regardless of political lean, think the real enemy is bureaucrats. Bureaucrats aren't even really people. They're the lizard people all the conspiracy theory/tin foil hat wearers screech about.

This is absurd, but extremely believable

We as citizens need to push for any judge who allows this to be disbarred. This is insanity.

My only argument against your opinion, is that he actually has a trackable history of poor performance as a CEO and a trackable record of very bad monetization schemes. He's the reason EA is the way it is.

This isn't the first company he's ruined the reputation of.

Granted, the board that elected him is still there. That's an issue that will persist for a while.

I feel like it would actually just be easier to make vertical growing factories for vegetables than do the same thing but worse by still growing the material, and then making them vegetable shaped.

Like, those cells will require the same nutrients and same growing conditions, and they naturally 3D print themselves into the shape of themselves.
