Vomited tomatoes are also rich in MSG, how can you not like them?

There's a lot more to flavor than taste, and people are free to not like the flavor of anything regardless of the amount of MSG, salt, sugar or vinager.

Yeah, and this should showcase just how bullshit the system is. IMO every one of those 100 trades in the middle should be taxed, this removes bullshit from the system, you can't buy a contract saying you'll buy the stock, because that would be buying something of that value and would be taxed. We need to start seeing those 100 trades, as what they are, i.e. a way to try to rig the system.

But then the value goes WAAY up. Let's assume you live in a very good house, and mortgage it you're able to get 5 million out of it. Do you think someone like Jeff Bezos could live for 5 years with that?. You can do it fairly straightforward, everytime you take a loan, the full amount of that loan gets added, after a period of 5 years that value disappears, if at any point that value goes above 10 million, you start paying taxes on it. And the higher it goes the more tax you pay on it, just like how income tax has brackets, and just like how up to certain values are exempt.

For you or me if we were ever loan 10 million over 5 years we wouldn't have a way to pay it back. For an Uber wealthy they do that fairly quickly, Bezos mention costs 600k a month, so he'll get into the first bracket from just that in a year and a half.

People need to realize just how big the gap is, there are plenty of ways to tax extremely rich people without affecting the middle class by just putting the bracket so high up that it's impossible for a middle class to reach it.

That read exactly as a footnote on a Terry Pratchett book, if you have never read Discworld you should, it has the same sense of humor that you do. For example another popular saying being bastardized:

Give a man a fire and he'll be warm for a night. Set a man on fire and he'll be warm for the rest of his life."

Nicolas Cage's The Wicker Man is the only John Wick spinoff worth your time.

1. That movie is older than John Wick
2. It's a remake of an even older movie
3. Which is based on an even older book
4. The plot has NOTHING to do with hired killers or anything John Wick related

Are you sure you didn't mixed up the movie?

Every time I see that, or similar, explanation on a piece of media it reminds me of Stargate SG-1 https://youtu.be/zBjbNqBjSMI

Context for the video, the guy is a technologically advanced alien trying to contact another alien species that's light years away from earth. They're also refusing to share technology with earth humans because they deem earthlings are too primitive. In that same episode they talk about quantum physics and their answer is "ahh, yes, I remember that, I studied it in school, together with other misconceptions".

I love Stargate, in part because they take the time to explain things, sure, they do a bunch of stupid stuff too, but a lot of the time they're fairly accurate, and when something needs to go against physics they even acknowledge that that's not how it's supposed to work.

I really miss Emily, hope she comes back soon, but I understand her wanting to be on her own for a while, but honestly her videos were the best ones always.

If you have one backup, you have no backup. That's a hard lesson to learn, but if you care about those photos it's possible to recover them if you haven't written stuff on that sdcard yet.

I love how every time I read a "Critical" vulnerability in Linux it's essentially "The user must leave their computer completely unlocked in an accessible area for a long period of time. Also he needs this very specific combination of programs running in these specific versions. Ah, and the planets have to be aligned for it to work. If all of these happen, an attacker might glimpse at your desktop wallpaper, so definitely critical".

Terminator is better than Terminator 2, and as cool as it is Terminator 2 should never have been made (or should have a different script).

I know the mob is raising the pitchfork, but hear me out, there are two main ways time travel can solve the grandparent paradox, these are Singular Timeline (i.e. something will prevent you from killing your grandfather) or Multiple Timeline (you kill him but in doing so you created an alternate timeline). Terminator 2 is clearly a MT model, because they delay the rise of Skynet, but Terminator is a ST movie. The way you can understand it's an ST is because the cause-consequences form a perfect cycle (which couldn't happen on an MT story), i.e. Reese goes back to save Sarah -> Reese impregnates Sarah and teaches her how to defend herself from Terminators and avoid Skynet -> Sarah gives birth to and teaches John -> John uses the knowledge to start a resistance -> The resistance is so strong that Skynet sends a Terminator back in time to kill Sarah -> Reese goes back to save Sarah...

The awesome thing about Terminator is how you only realise this at the end of the Movie, that nothing they did mattered, because that's what happened before, the timeline is fixed, humanity will suffer but they'll win eventually.

If Terminator was a MT then the cycle breaks, i.e. there needs to be a beginning, a first time around when the original timeline didn't had any time travelers. How did that timeline looked like? John couldn't exist, which means that sending a Terminator back in time to kill Sarah was not possible, Reese couldn't have gone back without the Terminator technology, which they wouldn't have unless the resistance was winning, and if they are winning without John, the Terminator must have gone back to kill someone else and when Reese went back he accidentally found Sarah, impregnated her and coincidentally made a better commander for the resistance which accidentally and created a perfect loop so that next time he would be sent back and meet Sarah because she was the target (what are the odds of that). Then why is the movie not about this? Why is the movie about the Nth loop after the timeline was changed? The reason is that Terminator was thought as a ST movie, but when they wanted to write a sequel they for some reason decided to allow changes in the timeline which broke the first movie.

An extension of that is that every time you shuffle a deck of cards there's a high probability that that particular arrangement has never been seen in the history of mankind.
