looks like the echo chamber is attempting to turn the AOC thread into another Trump thread.
i dunno, over the weekend it looked a lot more like the hilary thread than anything else. maybe if you and the bash/euro/whoever socks keep trying it'll be like that abortion.

It's not the appearance/sharpness it just blacks out like the tv cant handle it... and that mod costs about as much as the tv
iirc the NES uses a bunch of holes in the NTSC standard to render certain things. since those aren't "book" and since ATSC TVs only emulate NTSC, it may just be that the things the NES is doing break the NTSC emulation at times.
but i'm just pulling that completely out of my ass.

You left out the part about them turning the flashers at those first two drops.
these people annoy the fuck out of me. same with the assholes who don't turn on their lights at all. also, truck taillights are woefully insufficient.

I had pork tartare this weekend at an event. Looked a lot like that parisa actually.
the express news article posted up above said parisa resembles mett, which is a dish of raw ground pork.

I celebrate your entire catalog. Each of the Reese’s holiday varieties are better than the cups whether it is hearts (currently in the pantry), eggs (will be in the pantry next), trees (recently left the pantry), etc. Past that I’m going with Butterfingers and Kit Kats.
i totally forgot about hearts. probably too late to find some on clearance. i've still got 2 trays of trees though, so i'll last through until easter clearance.

It’s not a windfall unless you say dividends and capital gains aren’t going to be taxed anymore, which nobody is saying. There would have been more money to distribute in dividends if there wasn’t a corporate tax, and the stock would be worth more and sell at a higher value if the company wasn’t subject to income tax. Making corporate dividends subject to ordinary income rates would give an even bigger windfall to owners of partnerships and LLCs that are pass through entities (and offer the same liability protection) which don’t get hit with the corporate tax. You’d see a lot more money going into privately held ventures or MLPs rather than publicly traded stocks that the average joe can invest in. 401ks would take a hit, too, as the public securities become less profitable to investors.
Now, that new thing from the last tax reform where partnership pass through income can get taxed at the lower corporate tax rate is a windfall and should be repealed.
assuming no change in dividend/capital gains rate and using nominal rates:
qualified dividends/ltcg = 1.00(.79)(.85) = .6715 'double taxed'
ltcg = 1.00(.85) = .85
even assuming a low actual rate, unless it's 0 it's still a smaller figure than .85.

"What impact do you think the US economic sanctions have on the people of Venezuela?"
I think the impact on certain Venezuelans, namely Maduro and his cronies, is to freeze their international assets. The amounts those fuckers have stolen from the country are unprecedented in the history of the world. So I don't think the U.S. sanctions affect the common people of Venezuela at all. They were already starving while the regime took everything for itself. I think the impact that freezing the fuckers' assets could have for the common people, is to help get those fucks out of power, return their money to the country, and allow it to start healing.
wish in one hand and shit in the other...

I just did as well. Thanks for posting your statements from last year. Was able to compare to mine, which made it pretty clear I would've saved $10-30 per month using griddy. Really liked that they handle cancellation/switch over from Reliant. This is my first ever electricity provider switch, so I don't know if that's normal.
yeah that's normal. i've switched every time my contract has been up since the providers have all made it into a game.

Dividends are essentially double taxed (at the corporate level and then again to the shareholder at the capital gains rate), which is what I usually think of when people talk about the capital gains rate and the rich not paying their share on taxes. I suppose we could make a distinction for taxes on sales of assets and make those gains subject to normal rates. Maybe that’s what he was talking about anyway. You could still argue capital gain on corporate stock is effectively double tax since the asset has been subject to income tax affecting its value. Something like real estate you buy and flip, not so much.
i and the corporation i own stock in are not the same entity. it's the reason rick scott is in the senate instead of prison.
on top of that, even if it is double taxation, there's a conscious and voluntary choice made by the natural person to create a juridical limited liability person through which to conduct business because that's valuable (again, rick scott is in the senate instead of prison), even despite 'double taxation.' eliminating 'double taxation' represents a windfall to that natural person.

losing my shit here
SpoilerStan Gilbert (prop master): Mike plays Stan, the manager, so all Mike kept saying was, “More, I want more, I want more.” So we scrambled all morning long the day of to come up with stuff. We hadn’t asked the right questions, apparently, of how much. [He wanted] 70 percent more flair than I was prepared for.
Judge: I needed more flair.

An Oral History of ‘Office Space’
QuoteThe first time Mike Judge worked in an office, he lasted three weeks.
While taking time off from college, he landed a job alphabetizing purchase orders through a temp agency. The idea of sitting in an office intrigued him, until he learned the reality of his mind-numbing responsibility. “You’re just alphabetizing all day long,” Judge says. “I’d be home and I’d be alphabetizing in my sleep. This was like water torture.”

I philosophically disagree with capital gains taxes as ordinary income since that money is already taxed

In my experience, yes.
You telling me you don't know people who spend whatever they have no matter how much it is? I see that shit all the time. They are continuously utterly amazed that they don't have enough money after a job is over, but when the good times are rolling its toys, toys, toys,...(toys being cars, drugs, alcohol, vacations, remodels, .....)
"everyone else is the same" isn't "poor people are worse."
