@bonchieredstate The average homeowner is 59 years old just because an outlier (you) exists doesn't mean the majority of homeowner aren't late genx/boomers.
English
You think Boomers don’t pay sales taxes?
Also, this too online stereotype that only Boomers own homes is dumb. I’m not a Boomer. I own a home. Most of my neighbors aren’t Boomers.
Upwards of 70% of 30-50 year olds own their homes in the U.S.
Decide whether you’re a conservative or just someone who likes progressive taxes when it’s convenient.

Shifting the tax burden entirely off of boomers so young families can shoulder it bad actually

@jeremyct Oh no I guess you'll just have to sell and BE A FUCKING MILLIONAIRE, boohoo.

@EdLatimore The thing is getting a sponsor means you've displayed skill to somebody. You don't have to display any skill to anyone if your parents pay for it. So these parents are most likely just maximizing kids who'll never make it.
English
I'll say this, from coming from the background of a "free" sport (boxing).
You can not get good if you do not travel. Talent is not clustered into one hot spot.
I experienced my single biggest leap in skill during the final two years of my amateur career when I was sponsored and either flown around the country to fight or guys were brought to me.
Money has *always* been a barrier, it just was typically handled by either being in a school district with a decent tax base or donors.

NEW: Youth sports is now costing parents as much as $25,000 a year. Private equity and corporations are turning a childhood pastime into something only the wealthy can afford. Youth sports has become a $40 billion industry, and the steep costs are crushing American families.

@Urizen_ @martianwyrdlord You see the thing is that we don't live in their countries but they live in ours.
English
@martianwyrdlord Makes sense of you're traveling, but if you live someplace, it's ok to remind people how your name is pronounced occasionally.
English speakers use foreign pronunciation to signal cosmopolitanism. As a conservative, you're the one at odds with that part of anglo culture.
English
If your name includes a dental fricative - e.g. Anthony, Theodore, Nathaniel, Samantha, Elizabeth, Catherine, etc. - native speakers of the overwhelming majority of the world's languages cannot pronounce your name properly. If you're living or traveling outside of the Anglosphere you learn to adapt to this, accepting whatever the most common local mispronunciation happens to be, because the alternative of lecturing every single person you encounter on the finer points of English phonetics is actually insane.

The reason we can’t protect our industrial base is because of wealthy wine merchants like Victor O. Schwartz
New York Magazine@NYMag
As a small-business owner, wine importer Victor O. Schwartz has plenty of reasons to dislike the president’s policies. For almost 40 years, Schwartz has owned and operated VOS Selections, an importer and distributor of fine wines from 16 countries. Tariffs on wine have frustrated his industry since 2018, making the already heavily taxed business of sourcing from small farms and importing bottles from abroad more expensive. When Trump’s second-term tariffs were first announced last April, it looked like an even worse disaster for American wine importers than the first term. But the tariffs were also when he realized, unlike so many frustrated by Trump, he had an opportunity to do something. The weekend after the announcement of the tax on imports, a relative mentioned that their law professor, Ilya Somin, had put out a call for plaintiffs to challenge the tariffs. Somin a ragtag crew of small businesses who wanted to file a case against the administration: a tackle store on Lake Erie in Pennsylvania, a pipe manufacturer in Utah, a women’s cycling brand in Vermont, the maker of a banana-shaped synth in Virginia, and, eventually, Victor Schwartz and his wine-importing business. Within a few days, Somin, together with attorneys from the Liberty Justice Center, asked Schwartz to be the lead plaintiff. Read more from Matt Stieb’s conversation with Schwartz about how he and his fellow plaintiffs overturned Trump’s tariffs and earned a $166 billion refund: nymag.visitlink.me/tfzyVs

@CasuallyGreg Landlords provide housing the same way a scalper provides tickets.
English
Landlords aren’t parasites—they provide the housing that tenants want to rent. Without people willing to own, maintain, and let properties, there would be no one to rent from. This infantile attack on those who supply a basic commodity is economic illiteracy of the first order.

@bumbadum14 We cannot talk about lowering property tax or taking it away the minute the average home owner is 30 years old.

When a boomer pays off their mortgage they should pay 5,000/month until they downsize to a smaller home
ally@missmayn
when a boomer pays off their mortgage they should still pay the $400/month in property tax.

@heywildrich All that stuff is just so overly self interested people can think about and talk about their favorite subject all day. Themselves.
English
in undergrad i was in a study group and they were talking about things to "heal their inner child". i really didn't get the whole premise i guess -- had too nice a childhood, ya know?
they asked me what would "heal me" and i said "i've been obsessed with 911 turbos and big titties for as long as i can remember, if that counts."
nobody said a thing. just silence for minutes as they awkwardly flipped through notes like i was the weird one for not being raped as a kid.

@dustyf1n1sh I mean I've cracked 20k multiple times its just holding it. Usually that's about when my car takes a shit.

@wolfstrength I always felt like an alien when I'd talk to others about "goals". They'd say "I want to grow this muscle and look big but not too big" or whatever gay shit and my first goal was just DL 405 RAW.

Another thing that’s different from 2012 is that back then the average aesthetics or bodybuilding enthusiast would give you a lot of respect if you were jacked even if you didn’t care about being lean the way they did. They’d still see you as a legitimate source of information for training, even if they had a different approach to nutrition and aesthetics.
While you can still find that today, it seems to be the exception rather than the rule, at least online.
Today they’re more likely to dismiss anything you say because you’re fat (anything above ~15-16% bf), even though you have a lot of muscle, and dismiss the lifts you do as dumb or at best not worth the risk/reward ratio.
It’s a strange dynamic to remember how different it was not that long ago. Russ references 2012 but I reckon it was similar to this til the late 2010s.
Russ Greene@GreenPlusAnE
I don’t get the hate - Mark Rippetoe never said Starting Strength was a bodybuilding program. Back in the good old days (2012), men lifted to get strong. Today’s obsession with online aesthetics would have seemed totally foreign.

@wolfstrength One of the bumper plates just to use it as an elevated surface for her hippy dippey old person exercises and not just one exercise she would carry that thing everywhere and use it for everything. Then she started hiding it in a staff area so I could never use it.
English
@wolfstrength This reminds me of when I first started deadlifting seriously. I was at an anytime fitness that had only 1 set of bumper plates. It was fine because the normal plates are smaller so as long as I had those on I could load it up and it was good but this old lady would just steal
English
I am far less annoyed if I have to make a big change to my workout because of someone really training hard and impressively, than I am making even a small one because of a random exerciser
Trying to *train* in gyms where 99% of people are exercising is an exercise in aggravation
Questioning the consensus.@leejbrock
@CoffeeBlackMD Young dude using all the bumper plates doing >600 DLs. He’s a good kid, but I had to change up the leg workout order.
English
@wolfstrength I think bodyweight is pretty solid for anyone like 230 and under. I'm 230 and my standards are 110% bench 150% squat and like 180% for DL.
English
Using bodyweight multiples to determine strength level is kind of like BMI: broadly accurate at the general population level, but less accurate the more of a serious lifter you are
There is no universe in which a 330 squat at 135 is more impressive than 600 at 250.
Pounds above bodyweight is very imperfect but probably less imperfect than bodyweight multiples for more serious lifters.

@magills_ @Oilfield_Rando That shoulder looks soo painful.

@revenant_MMXX I've always thought it would be funny if we had artificial wombs that we could transfer fetuses into. The idea of a woman going to get an abortion and just transferring the fetus into an artificial womb then making her pick up the baby when its ready or go to jail.
English
Artificial wombs without limiting women's rights will just make them worse than ever and would be a force multiplier for all the problems caused by women's liberation.

You are absolutely allowed to say NO DOGS ALLOWED, because Service Animals aren't "dogs" in that sense, they're working animals.
Further, you are allowed to ask two questions to verify a service animal:
1. Is this a service animal?
2. What task is it trained to perform?
An answer to the second question which indicates it is a comfort animal, companion, or emotional support animal, may allow you to remove the animal from your store (you should have a sit-down with your lawyer to be clear on this first).
Answers that are vague, incomplete, or for which you aren't sure their meaning, you may only remove the animal if it causes disruption or is not housetrained.
English
This is not a significant policy. You have to have a sign that says “no dogs” and then kick anyone out who brings a dog in.
If you say “service dogs only,” they’re all service dogs.
Josh Billinson@jbillinson
The number of people who walk directly past the four foot tall sign at my Trader Joe’s telling them not to bring their dogs into the store is stunning. Do you guys not know how to read
English
@OneWholeRhubarb @DanFriedman81 Yes and I can just say "yes its a service dog" and you aren't allowed to check you can ask what service it provides and if I lie you have no recourse. So effectively you cant ban dogs.
English
@frencopter @DanFriedman81 Yes, you can put up a sign saying "No dogs." You still have to admit service dogs, but your sign can straight-up say no pets, no animals, whatever.

The Zoomer love of the Prequels was established when they first viewed them at an impressionable age. It seems also to correlate with their social media induced autism. The acting is so bad moviegoers laughed aloud. Autists can’t perceive unnaturalness.
