Wait. You just wrote that @Ravenous was “...claiming a religion espouses beliefs of hatred”, but the very first sentence of the first post is not at all about a religion in general:

In 2016, the exemption level for the federal estate tax was $5.45 million per person. Does your dad’s estate have $5.46 million? That $.01 million will now be taxed. Oh, wait. Your dad is a millionaire, and spent a few thousand on a decent accountant, and has that money in a trust in his heirs’ names? And it’ll go to…

No. No. This is the same thinking that says, “I don’t have to vaccinate my child. It’s my child, and it only affects me.” That is patently false. It’s even worse in this case. First of all, it’s not your piece of shit. It’s the company’s piece of shit that you’re probably signing an EULA for. You buy a connected…

You mean the Arian Heresy? j/k. I read up on it years ago when I had to read Milton.

I had tickets to game 5 or 6 of the ‘98 finals. Detroit swept in 4.

Perhaps, but the greater point is that, while it may be a “PR nightmare” (which I’m not quite sure if it is), it is not a revenue nightmare. The greater point is that there are no actual negative repercussions to any airline based on what happened.

Have you read “You Are Not So Smart”? It’s a fun pop-sci introduction to various biases, such as the Just World Fallacy.

It’s more of a human thing, really. Not to defend any particular subset of humanity, but craven bootlicking is not confined to any culture or nationality.

I have a similarly difficult time expressing the emotions and thoughts that this engenders. I often think to myself, when confronted with this type of thinking, about the “two types of people in this world” frame—there are humans, and there are robots. Robots are subservient to a specific set of rules. Human beings…

Edited: I think you’re saying that the bias towards round numbers is making the “weenies” not be as impressed, because they like the round numbers, kind of a “familiarity breeds contempt” kind of thing?

Ah, memories! How about “Bandit Kings of Ancient China” or “Genghis Khan”? I loved those!

First off ‘76 - ‘84 is too small a window for any generation. The birth rate increase that was called the “Baby Boom” was ‘46 to ‘64. Anybody born in those years is a Baby Boomer, but it’s the only generation that has delineated dates, and that’s only because of looking at the birth rate increase. Somebody born in ‘64…

I’m only giving you the star for the information. It feels dirty. Thanks for sharing, I guess? Sigh.

Could you explain more? I would like to think that the short term results/gains are not to be considered as part of fiduciary duty, but I don’t know for sure.

Self-awareness is an extremely undervalued attribute.

If that’s your issue, then why the fuck did you not say that (i.e., that “it’s a shitty attempt to backdoor in a shitty argument”) in the beginning, rather than that ham-handed bullshit equating supplements and steroids? Just be clear, man. Perhaps I’m just not as versed in everything Ley has said before about this,…

That makes no sense whatsoever. The guy (releasetheriver) that you’re responding to said, “You’re arguing that if I don’t care about someone taking supplements to boost recovery, I am automatically in favor of mindless steroid monsters pumped full of anything and everything.”

Thanks for hanging in there against this guy. His responses are baffling.
