@wil_da_beast630 Duty sex lives only in a world where other options have been closed down and the one on the end won't end the relationship (presumably to continue enjoying the benefits the relationship brings)
@wil_da_beast630 These people ever play sports? 'X gets shaken by the physical stuff - if I see any of you miss just one chance to rough her up, bring your mouthguard to training and you won't be starting next week.'
@fadule_ If you put away 3 bottles of wine between you and the result isnt your wife puking in the bathroom and your erection vacating the building long ago... then I salute you two lol
Bostonians: We hate the English
Scots: We hate the English
Bostonians & Scots: We both hate the English, we must be alright
The English: I say old chaps, lovely town and quite delightful people. We are a tad confused about these ill feeling towards us. Our brethern from the kingdom dont seen to face the same attitudes. Why is that?
@NormOrnstein Phew, at this rate, over 10B people will have died from USAID being dismantled by the end of the month.
USAID was flat out corruption. Up to you decide if paying hostile actors for compliance is a worthy spend but at least dont be an idiot about it.
@charlesmurray The funniest part about this idea that Communism has a solid theoretical basis is it doesn't, especially in an empirical sense, and is simply dumb AF.
I assume they come to 'in theory' argument via Homer Simpson.
@ilektramerc Agree, read the theory. If you cannot see the issues and how they surface when implemented, maybe you lack the insight to promote Communism/Socialism.
Reducing taxation (yes these asshats taxed at above 95% and sustained above 70% for a long time), has allowed this incredible wealth. It has meant the bottom half of the population pay a tiny proportion of the tax and get much more in return from government services.
And just like "only 3% of the population will pay 3% tax on their income". You will burden all our children with a tax we will never escape.
Just because you cant reign in your spending.
@RoKhanna "How about if only the top 3% of income earners pay just 3% tax on their income?"
Now here is me, nowhere near the top 3% but paying much more than 3% income tax.
@elonmusk is right, @WesternLensman is an evil liar, so are you.
If you made a commitment to only ever play bridge with one person for your entire life and playing bridge exclusively with that person is what separates your relationship with that person from others and you really want to still play bridge and bridge is something that heavily impacts the relationship.
Then you should first ask what you can do to start playing bridge again and if it isnt okay arrange to play bridge with someone else or dump him.
So yes, thats exactly what you should do. This is a particularly dumb question. Sad you thought otherwise.
@hell_line0 Alrighty but you cant freeze beyond 6 days and you cant freeze from the womb so not exactly sure if your argument is pro or anti abortion.
Like, who you trying to convince here? Just accept it's killing the thing and move on.
@wil_da_beast630 50% tariffs until governments of slave tradering countries pay reparations to families of slaves they sold. Pass revenue from tariffs on to the families who fought to end it.
Comparing to the least affordable housing market in the world and saying it aint that bad so deal with it is not a reasonable position.
The fact is AU had some of the best affordability conditions in the world and through a series of terrible policy decisions over successive governments ended up with some of the worst.
That others have botched this up worse is small comfort. I feel sorry for Australian who put faith in systems that took away their lifestyle and will now bleed them dry.
