Social Security is not an investment program. It is social insurance. If you want high returns invest your own money. But the whole point of a safety net is that it’s there no matter what happens. Sure would have sucked if you needed to retire on say Jan 1, 2009, and your entire SS “account” had just lost 40% of its…

The social security problem is not a big one. Raise the cap and solvency is solved. No “big” problem has such an easy solution.

His keyboard just didn’t record the ‘T’ between the f and the r. It’s hard when your fingers are so so tiny.

Good news, nobody with a vagina wants your or your shit in their anything.

They stopped one plane from taking off once, let’s not make it into more than it was. And did they also ensure that none of the other passengers weren’t on their way to meet a dying relative, and that perhaps the delay prevented them from making that connection? Frankly, while they treated one customer well in that…

Nope, they don’t deserve insults and harassment for how they choose to play a fucking video game. It’s supposed to be fun, douchebags who think that insults are a legitimate response to anything that happens in a video game are part of the problem. Grow the fuck up.

Did not know that, thought it was mostly about any% vs 100%. Thanks.

This speedrun relies on some clipping bugs (or at least that’s what it seems like to me). How does the speedrunning community in general handle records that rely on techniques that may be patched out? If Bethesda fixed some of the shortcuts, this speedrun could be literally impossible to beat in the future.

I agree completely, how is this a response to my point that this specific story is a poor example to cite when arguing against Labrador and the AHCA.

He died because he couldn’t figure out the paperwork. That still speaks to our terrible health care system, but is a poor counter to “nobody dies from lack of health care access.”

I have fought more for health care for people than I’m sure you have having worked in Congress.

This is a sad story but not a good example at all. The ACA didn’t save this man’s life, so it’s repeal won’t kill the next person who can’t navigate the complexities of the insurance market. And it’s also not a good “he did everything right,” or “through no fault of his own” story either. Again, sad, but this is not a…

This comment is a lot less funny a year later.

Yeah, after a jury couldn’t reach a verdict.

Can we stop calling these rent-a-cops “school resource officers?” The woman who brings the laptop cart to the classroom is a school resource officer, laptops are school resources. Choke holds and tasers are not school resources, adopting doublespeak is 1/10th of the problem.

Homer? What is a homer? All I see above is a massive dong.

Go past Valhalla, Tartarus will be on your right. You’ll see Feather Mountain in the distance, and Atlantis down the valley. Turn left at Shangri-La and you’re just about there. If you hit Narnia you’ve gone too far.

Domestic abuse is different from random violence against a stranger. There’s a lot of additional trauma inflicted on domestic violence victims, usually the physical assault is not the first abuse they have suffered. There’s also the issue of personal safety, a guy hits a woman at a bar, she still probably has a safe…

Hey Billy, what happened in London this weekend?

Yeah, that doesn’t say anything about not being paid on the runway, it says they are hourly, not salaried employees. The point hinges on the definition of “flight hour” which varies by contract. If the plane had pulled from the gate (which it had since they had to return to the gate) the brake was pulled and the…
