I just want to say for all our Japanese friends out there that we do not condone this at all, and completely encourage you to smash his hands with hammers.

Roughly ~50%+ of South Africans buy into these ideas, btw. That's a conservative estimate that presumes that some fraction of ANC, EFF and MK voters aren't aware of what they're supporting. Mostly that would be older ANC voters who don't use the internet much.

Black woman from South Africa: “Black people have been patient enough for more than 400 years of colonialism. We are coming for you, and we are going to get everything that you own.” White people are facing racism, hatred, and brutal violence in South Africa. This is not acceptable. More people should know about the horrible things happening in South Africa; almost nobody talks about it.

@wadechicago @atlanticesque If that were the case it wouldn't be scaled according to property values. Income tax and sales tax are at least paid once in accordance to earnings or expenditure, respectively, you can't ever be "priced out" of your own sales tax.

I am pro-property tax. But I do understand the frustrations which arise with it. “Property tax pays for services which every property needs! Like roads, sewers, and police!” “Oh so most of my property taxes are going towards services like that?” “Haha no”

@h_johanson @thiojoe @atlanticesque Pub schools are a menace and should all be private. Even though most don't, I use private security and fire services at a very reasonable monthly subscription. If you must tax, though, use sales tax. It's the "best" form of tax. I could accept 20% sales tax if it's the only tax.

This woman made her entire career from abandoning the DPRK (North Korea) at like 11 years old and talks about life in the the DPRK 🇰🇵. It’s all propaganda. You can’t understand or remember much of anything from when you were 11 years old. Imagine a 11 year old American kid describing his country to some aliens and being their expert on America. It’s also commonly left out that around 60% of defectors from the DPRK express that they would like to return back home and 40% regret their decision to leave.

finally got to see the video and there's a lot of interesting things going on here. first, there's an element here of the "my culture has a beautiful unique tradition of gathering for a large meal!" type discourse where people from lesser cultures grasp onto mundanity as if they were the only ones who ever did it, always silly. >"in my culture, we like to make loud noises when we are particularly excited!" oh, you mean like "hip hip hooray?" >"no, in my culture it's very different, you couldn't possibly understand. but this is just "hip hip hooray" only at an inappropriate time. second, you can even see this during the video in Sabrina's confused reaction "your culture is yodeling?" bc, yes, obviously, yodeling is a part of Swiss culture. but Swiss culture has a lot going on so they don't go around yodeling at inappropriate times and then angrily inform people that it's just fine bc "that's just Swiss culture". so in this one brief interaction we see the truth laid bare: 1) loud noises to emote excitement is not some unique part of just your culture, that's a human universal. 2) that said, how it is expressed obviously varies. in Sabrina's culture, it shouldn't be expressed during a concert as she's trying to bring the mood down to instill a particular emotional vibe. 3) but somehow, everything today is lowest common denominator. the 'culture' that is the ugliest, most anti-social in western civilization gets to win, every time, bc "diversity is strength" or something. it's dis-civilizational. this is a relatively modest example of the broader phenomenon driving everything to shit.

@RockOperaKMS @atlanticesque Obviously, that doesn't mean I like it or wouldn't prefer a different system. I also know people that inherited family homes they couldn't pay the tax on just because of a ridiculous assessment on a house that hadn't actually been on the market in 70 years.

Peter Hague@peterrhague·16h

Which could have been done by the driver who is certainly culpable. Unless they can prove there was something mechanically wrong with the brakes AND a computer error coincidentally at the same time, this is the same old - driver hits the wrong pedal, panics, tries to blame technology. This nonsense predates Tesla. It’s always the drivers fault

It doesn’t matter. Teslas, like all other road legal cars, have mechanical brakes that can overpower the engine. Phantom acceleration IS. NOT. REAL. The person is always pressing the accelerator by mistake. Every time.

Fred Lambert@FredLambert

Insane Tesla story coming out of Norway today. You probably forgot about this weird Tesla crash from 2023 where a Model Y taxi had two bizarre 'sudden acceleration' crashes in just a few seconds. The driver claimed the car accelerated on its own and he was pressing the brake pedal. Tesla claimed its data shows he was pressing the accelerator. The driver was charged, but the charges were later dropped for lack of evidence, and there are indeed some serious problems with the evidence. While Tesla did share some telemetry data, the automaker claimed that the last 6 seconds were somehow missing. It turned out that someone went inside the vehicle, opened up the onboard computer, and removed the network card, which an expert believes would hold critical evidence. Everyone involved claims not to know where the card is.

I can hate this! The property tax is one of the best taxes on the books and it's pro-family to boot. Property taxes are capitalized into the cost of homes, making it easier to purchase them for young people looking to start families. Plus, they're efficient. Triple them!

@nayibbukele Importantly, trying to "fix" things by force will always make them worse and disrupt the progress that any disruptive technology always brings. Imagine if the Luddites had gotten mechanical looms outlawed. Or farmhands the traction engines.

𝘿𝙋𝙁𝙍𝘿@deepfrd·20h

@nayibbukele People always feel this way about new technology but the truth is that people shift to new roles, including the invention of new roles to fill those gaps. The thing about a priced market economy is that it responds well to feedback. So no need to worry about.

The State of California makes more money off a gallon of gas than the oil company that refined it and got it to market. Almost $2 of every gallon there goes to Sacramento’s coffers. And these people are *still* mumbling about “corporate greed” and more taxes.

Trump's immoral and reckless war in Iran has shot up gas prices in my district to nearly $6 a gallon. Stop the war, stop exporting our crude oil, and pass my windfall profits tax on Big Oil to give Americans a rebate for their gas bills.

This kind of attitude in translators was exposed last year for the sham and evil that it is. We don't want the translators to "write new stories more befitting a Western audience". We watch foreign films and animation to get a FOREIGN perspective from great creators. Not to see a circle-jerk of weeaboos dumb it down.

Camus@newstart_2024·1d

They put scars on women’s faces for a job interview experiment… then secretly removed them. The women went in believing they had visible disfigurements — and came out reporting massive discrimination, with interviewers supposedly referencing their “scars.” Konstantin Kisin used this study to make a powerful point: constantly telling people they’re oppressed or disadvantaged primes them to see discrimination everywhere, even when it isn’t there. It’s the same psychological effect as buying a new car and suddenly noticing that model on every street. The ideology of victimhood doesn’t just describe reality — it actively shapes it. We should be teaching young people they’re strong and capable of overcoming adversity, not training them to see themselves as permanent victims. What’s one way you’ve seen this “victimhood mindset” play out in real life?
