What does it mean to be “rich” in the United States?
Net worth breakdowns:
Top 1% = ~$13.7 million
Top 2% = ~$8.5 million
Top 5% = ~$4 million
Top 10% = ~$1.9 million
Top 25% = ~$660,000
Top 50% = ~$193,000
...Do these numbers surprise you?

I rarely eat out.
Maybe once a month. Went yesterday to a restaurant (Italian, Mediterranean) in West Seattle for Mother’s Day last night.
Total for 5 of us ( we don’t drink alcohol) with one salad, humus and 3 vegetarian pastas was $97
The check said 3.5% surcharge for credit card. Then 17% service fee, mandatory.
Then tips were 20% 22% and 25% optional.
I asked if I could pay in cash.
No. They don’t take cash. Then how can I avoid the credit card fee I asked.
You can’t.
So I asked why the service charge.
It pays for the employees they said.
Then why the tip I asked.
It pays for front office staff
I don’t get it.

@allie__voss This elderly lady was injured when she fell and despite being injured she was desperately trying to save the baby.
English
I still believe this person was trying NOT to save their kid

I just 174 pushups in a row without stopping… can anyone do more than me on this app?

@NoContextHumans 100000% you choose the kids. Of course you choose the kids. The kids are incapable of getting themselves out. Your wife has the mental acuity and physical strength to get herself out.

Remember me talking about my neighbor's dogs that keep pooping in our yard with zero care from the owner?
One of them just chased my 6yo daughter while she was playing outside and bit her arm.
15 minutes before by 9yo daughter's birthday party.
I'm not at the urgent care with my six year old and my wife is juggling a birthday party with 8 kids on her own.
This is the second child this dog has bitten. We have already contacted animal control and filed a report.
Is there anything else I should be doing?

Groceries for 2 people.
Will last us maybe 5 days.
I don’t know how people do it. This country is becoming unbearably expensive.
2k monthly groceries
Not counting if you want to go to a restaurant once a week, add another 1k.

me mandan un test para una entrevista de data engineer sin decir de qué es y yo pensando “bueno, unas preguntas de spark, sql, pipelines…”
pregunta 1: “3 ruedas giran conectadas por correas” 🤨
pregunta 8: (os la dejo aquí)

@LibertarianG0th Easiest choice in the freaking world. No more abortion.

You make 150 grand a year and have 5 days leave. Little espresso in the park. A couple festivals in the summer, nice cheap doctor check up and a few mini holidays. You can keep the money mate.

@politicalsock @heckyessica What if you used a firearm in self defense in a blue state and got convicted anyway (many such examples)?
English
@heckyessica Good with it.
You commit serious crimes, you lose some constitutional rights. For example, we can send you to prison.
And losing the right to keep and bear arms permanently is a good reason to not commit a felony!
English
question: (mostly for pro 2A folks) what’s your opinion on felons not being permitted to own a firearm?
English
@jess_ann_pin @GadSaad Statistics never represent individuals. That's why they are statistics.
English
False. This is a misrepresentation.
The data only shows that more young women identify as liberal than in the past.
That does not mean that individual liberal women are becoming more liberal or even that women have changed their views.
The reason more young women identify as liberal is because conservatives have been seriously threatening women’s rights.
The open threats to women’s rights are why more young women, who have the most to lose from abortion bans for example, identify as liberal.
This should not be hard to figure out.

This figure supports the statement that I have repeatedly made, namely that progressive women fuel the infinity pool of Suicidal Empathy.
Michael A. Arouet@MichaelAArouet
That's an interesting chart. Young men have stayed similarly conservative for over 25 years, while young women have drifted much further left. Why such a divergence? What has changed for young women that hasn't changed for young men?

Right, if homeschooling is actually super high quality, then homeschooling families should not object to being evaluated, tested, and checked-in-on to make sure their kids are actually learning.

Look, pro-homeschooling people are piling on this guy but he's not wrong at all. I know of families who are straight-up failing to teach their children beyond a 2nd-grade education. Like 16-year-old kids who don't know what the Capital of the US is, have never heard of Toronto, and could not perform a basic algebra problem. While it's true that there are many excellent homeschooling families whose instruction far exceeds that of any public school, the fact is that the American system of "school your kids however you want" does also yield a lot of severely stunted kids who get stuck playing "catch-up" for the rest of their lives. My wife was homeschooled, we might homeschool, I'm not averse to the practice per se, but it's a fact that there's a whole world of multi-generational homeschoolers who are not and will not rise above a 2nd or 3rd grade education level by their own volition. Should the state intervene in these cases? I dunno, the answer to the question is not as "easy" as many make it out to be. The idea of barely getting through 'Mary Had a Little Lamb' at the age of 16 should be appalling, and it IS happening in some American homeschooler families.

@HeidiBriones That is barely inflation. Possibly less than the actual inflation rate.
English
@travisakers I could be wrong, but I think it is telling you to rearrange it to say:
(8+2)+7 = 17
or
(9+1)+7 = 17
Which, with more complex numbers is how I do mental math.
English
This is stupid. Just add the damn numbers or memorize it.
What are we even doing?
English
@spreadsheeticus @Kyle_C137 No. Not temporarily. Extreme hyper inflation that makes everything other than some assets and investments worthless. You will have entirely wiped out the middle class and upper middle class.

@shagbark_hick I know a lot of college students that don't know shit either.

Do Homeschool kids just like, not have to take tests or exams or get grades? How does the government know if the child is actually getting an education and not just like, being neglected
