@gsharpx @ToothTruther @RockChartrand 1) They are still taking risks and investing effort to make money, which has an outsized positive effect on the economy 2) Most rich people are rich because they brought a useful product to market for consumers, not by cornering the grocery market with underhanded tricks

@swollenpollen @ToothTruther @RockChartrand Why wouldn’t you? It’s not like the uotra rich are directly converting joules of energy into money. At some point you beed to factor in how much money they’re making , etc. also, a lot of the money these people make by cornering the markets with underhanded tricks.

“We should tax the rich out of existence” while depending on them forever to fund everything isn’t a plan, it’s a contradiction. If you succeed, the tax base disappears. Either way, the system eats its own foundation. It also ignores incentives. The more you punish the creation of wealth, the less of it gets created, stays, or shows up to be taxed. You can’t build a permanent system on a shrinking target.

@TheArtofJacking @ToothTruther @RockChartrand That's mainly because basically no one was earning that from wages at the time anyway. Mostly, people just focused on earning via long-term capital gains in that bracket, and if you look, you see a genuine contraction in jobs and income in that top bracket.

@swollenpollen @ToothTruther @RockChartrand Well, we taxed the top bracket at or above 70% from 1940-80, and it led to arguably the best economic period in American history, so I guess they didn't all sit on the couch.

@jack_stjames @cleobug101 That's because women rate 83% of men as below average in appearance. Due to evolutionary pressures, the looks standard for men is far higher.

@cleobug101 All true, but worth noting that it’s all so individually subjective as well… every time I go out I see half a dozen couples where it looks like she’s her partner’s Make-a-Wish

i knew a woman who ruined every single one of her relationships with her looksmatch because she had dated a man far out of her league when she was younger. she could never get the idea out of her mind that this was her true standard and she was settling and doing a favor for the “lesser” men. she would cheat with “higher” status married men to feel chosen again. many women would rather be a side chick or in a situationship with a high status man rather than date an average to below-average man. not realizing, they are also the lower-tier woman and would find much more joy and commitment with their looksmatch.

@ToothTruther @RockChartrand Why would you even try to increase your wages when you only get 30% of the proceeds? At that point you might as well stop working and sit on the couch.

@RockChartrand Hey buddy, if you make 100 million bucks a year and get taxed 70% you still make more money EVERY YEAR than most people in their entire lifetime. So "taxing the rich out of existance" is not a thing.

@rushicrypto Literally, everything is fine, relax. Your parents went through the Cold War, and your grandparents went through ww2. Nothing is even happening.

People who are older than I: Does it really feel like end times or is this just a temporary dip? Because it really feels like end times.

@thechosenberg It's a good movie if you're a midwit who can guzzle any slop so long as they cover it in a ham-fisted friendship is magic facade.

Did you like Project Hail Mary or have you lost the spark inside of you and hate joy

@JenPeyton @Aella_Girl It's not by age... did you even read the chart? You have no business criticizing anyone else's reading comprehension

@Aella_Girl If it's by age it should be a straight line. I feel like this is just a study of failed reading comprehension.

It's a gradual shift, but probably approximately at ~31 BMI

@MtHuTao @meowsums If you can't deal with hitscan as vendetta you are just not good with her

@meowsums i don't play vendetta, shes only good if the hitscan can't aim and chunk down her armor for anyone else to help

VENDETTA PLAYERS PLS STOP PRETENDING UR CHARACTER IS BAD JUST BCUS THERES SOME STUNS IN THE GAME

@M19543Meteor @Azure_296 @NarutoDaily_ Also, Shikamaru exists who naturally would know all the right answers

@Azure_296 @NarutoDaily_ If I recall correctly, it was brought up that some of the people that were mixed into the test taking group had the right answers on-hand, so identifying who could answer confidently was part of it. Sakura also was able to answer them, so presumably it wouldn't be impossible.

There’s no way Tenten wasn’t going to get caught cheating 😭

@isaacturnersong e

What even the fuck is rational. Anything can be rational

@salemscrucible @z0mbie_grrl I'm not writing my tweets with chatgpt. I'm just not 19, so I grew up actually writing in complete sentences...

@z0mbie_grrl @swollenpollen dude now that i read it they most def used chat gpt there’s no way LMAOOO

when i was fourteen guys on snapchat would send me “wrist check” or “go deeper” n so i’d send them back a vid of me doing just that. they would get very upset n distressed in response every time, idk why?

@Ruviz_OW It changes all the time, what do you mean? Do you even watch comp?

Algún día cambiará el meta de la escena profesional de Overwatch??? Llevamos 3 años con lo mismo XDDD

@R0SETEETH @OWAnonymous_ let me take a guess, you one trick junkrat?

@swollenpollen @OWAnonymous_ Are you hardstuck gold?

@StudiosMkr @OWAnonymous_ found the junkrat main

@swollenpollen @OWAnonymous_ Most bronze take anyone's ever had

@rhonjomyne Nah, it's 90% of the time a healer that's raging in my games despite having the easiest role

@OWAnonymous_ Junkrat is literally the lowest skill character, worse than Moira or Mercy.

A gold junk is equivalent to a masters cass/ashe/widow

@Maruchanzzz1 @OWAnonymous_ If she's easy, why is her win rate quite literally the lowest? Why don't you just play her if she's easy? It's a game with instantaneous acceleration, so you have to predict movement to hit shots. You just have terrible positioning and movement.

@swollenpollen @OWAnonymous_ I'm sorry but ahe requires no fucking aim, literally 0 recoild and a minimun spread, You can't take highground easily and fuck everyone in the lobby with your ult

If Flex DPS were in a state where they were even HALF as broken as hitscans are right now we'd be getting fucking hotfix patches. But no, we've been in a hitscan meta since fucking Christmas and not a single one besides Illari got nerfed this patch. Fire Alec Dawson into the god damn sun.
