I want a Claire Temple series where everyone else cameos.

I don’t think they didn’t talk because they are Black. There are a lot of people of various races who would not have chosen to share. I personally think they needed someone to talk to. Mr. Lawrence missed his mother so much he couldn’t talk about it. That’s trauma. Not just being Black. Henrietta Lacks suffered a lot…

The clue is in the title capital gains tax. you are paying tax on what extra income is generated from your investment. Not the investment itself. QED no double taxation.

Every time money changes hands it is taxed. You get taxes taken out of your paycheck, then when you buy a new car you pay taxes again. It doesn’t mean you were taxed twice, it means money changed hands.

Just so you know, that’s a massively stupid argument.

thats really bad logic. sorry. just because you bought an asset with post-tax dollars, that does not mean you ‘paid taxes twice’ when that thing makes you more money.

Here’s a nice story about Amy Schumer, an emergency bathroom stop and a $2,000 good deed.

The amount of condescension that would amount to would be obscene. I know you’re just being an asshole, but think about what you’re asking. The money isn’t what matters, it’s the recognition and appraisal of his work from his superiors, of which I am not.

Plenty of people skate by, myself included. Working hard enough to not be in trouble is a thing, and works very well IMO. I can’t speak to your company or situation, just my own, but I started 3 years ago, got a bonus and a raise, and would have expected the same for someone working harder than I was.

Do not read this reply if you are unable to take someone being extremely abrasive and cold. I will not spare you a single detail or truth, and will likely as a result trample all over your sentiments.

It’s the very definition of white privilege to complain about ‘white privilege.’

I think people are focusing on the name “white privilege”too much. White privilege happens to be the current oppressive system that benefits white people. Had any other race done this, it’d be called that “race that did this privilege”, it’s just in human nature I think for people to look down on others. The article…

I have to jump in here because a lot of commenters seem to be confused about the difference between a union, a guild and a trade association. Unions are for employees. It is unlikely that YouTubers or Twitch streamers will ever be employees of the platforms they license their content to. I address that in the article.

People really don’t seem to understand how voting works.

Shit. I totally miss you singled out POC. As a POC geek I have to concur that’s some racist ass bullshit on your part. Especially given the clear and open racism on display whenever even the most non-impactful character is given a different ethic background.

While I’m not denying the surprising number of close-minded assholes amongst people who spend their time imagining the impossible I think expectations have something to do with it. Because they imagine things like superheroes and super computers and galaxy spanning adventures you expect geeks and nerds to be better…

Oh, hello there.

The funny thing is that your comment could be viewed as either ‘Pro’ Tom Cruise or against him. As in, that name is enough some people to already decide they don’t want to see the film.

Oh! *That* Rachel Bloom. I’d liked her solo work but hadn’t realized that was her in the tv show. I’ll have to check that out.
