Spain has the benefit of being a top vacation spot in Europe.

Most Americans would rather go to Florida or southern California then cross the border.

As for America and the UK, WWI and WWII were equalizers in that regard. Other then Perl Harbor we didn't have to spend any resources fixing our infrastructure due to bombing.

i am so sorry for you guys already losing your hair :(

I wish my hair would thin. It is SOOOOO thick. I read that if you jerk it a lot you reduce testosterone or some hormone which can cause thinning hair. Apparently not always the case, because I do it like 3 times a day for the past 10 years and its still thick as ever.

I have heard it is actually an excess of testosterone that causes thining hair.

In reality, it is probably genetic, and all of my uncles on my mom side were completely balled by their mid-thirties. My fathers side fares slightly better, but it is not like they aren't loosing their hair either.

My hairline. It was pretty quick too, up until I turned 30 I had a full head of hair. Now it is not only receding but thinning up top. I am not shaving my head though because I wouldn't look good bald, plus that is a lot of work.

at least with cable your channels aren't constantly being replaced by new ones that you don't care about

That is literally the reason I stopped watching cable:

MTV went from a music video station to a reality TV station
Discovery went from a scientific station to a reality TV station
History went from a history station to a reality TV station
MTV 2 went from a music video station to a reality TV station
Nick at Night started showing reruns from the 90's
Even the network channels have turned into crappy sitcom factories.

edit: and VH1 went from a music video station to a reality TV station

SERIOUSLY, WHAT DOES CABLE HAVE AGAINST MUSIC VIDEOS???

My advice - take up running instead.

Running is incredibly hard on the knees. Plus with biking you can basically use it as an easier form of transportation. For example, instead of driving 5 minutes to the farmer's market, bike instead. Or bike to work, save on gas.

Running has benefits over biking, but I honestly haven't met a runner who doesn't have messed up knees or back.

Spend some money on a good saddle though. I didn't do that originally and my taint bone was sore for the next 3 days after an hour ride...

Again, stop saying how much money it is because that is entirely irrelevant. The point is that they are being forced to pay money because someone died. You are literally steeling from someone who is suffering from the death of a loved one.

It's not irrelevant. Opponents of the "death" tax like to perpetuate the idea that this affects more people than it does. The vast majority of Americans would not be affected by it. And you're not being forced to pay money, because you didn't earn the money. adjl already explained it. You're receiving less money for their death. It's not like you're having to pay money you already received.

Again, IT DOESN'T FUCKING MATTER HOW MANY PEOPLE IT AFFECTS!!!!

That is a bigoted view of the world. It is the same logic that the KKK uses to lynch people, it is the same logic that nazi's used to murder Jews, it is the same logic that Trump supporters use to rape women, and now it is the same logic proponents of the estate tax use to profit off someone's death.

And I haven't even begun to argue the fact that this tax literally only accounts for 1/1000 of the national revenue per year, or that there are so many loopholes that they don't even get money from anyone smart enough to hire a good accountant to handle the assets of the estate (Like the Walton's) costing them upwards of 5 billion per year in lost revenue (which is the same amount that they make from it).

1/1000 of the national revenue per year is actually a great deal of money. I don't see that as an issue.

It is when you could raise the same amount of money by increasing the sales tax on luxury items (private jets, yachts, sports cars, etc.) and raise the same amount of money by NOT PROFITING OFF THE DEATH OF SOMEONE!!!

Why does it matter if someone is grieving at the time of a tax? Are other taxes wrong if the person is currently grieving? What if someone isn't grieving during an estate tax (like if they hated their parents or something).. Is the estate tax okay then?

It is not the time of the tax it is the purpose. As I mentioned, a property tax is "You land exists within this area so you owe us money", an income tax is "You did work within this area so you owe us money", an estate tax is "Someone died within this area, so their loved ones owe us money".

Can you honestly say you are OK with that 3rd one?

Ditkain you're making an emotional appeal that can be stretched a lot further. Why does this man have to pay property taxes on the house he inherited from his parents?? They just died!! He only has it because they died and he's in grieving, stop coming after his property taxes!

It's income that's taxed, end of story.

Property taxes at least make sense on the surface though, it is property they own (granted through terrible circumstances) so they have to pay money for it. Plus that property exists within the borders of a town or municipality so of course you have to pay taxes on it. If that property didn't exist on this plane of existence, you wouldn't need to pay taxes on it.

Estate tax is literally "Someone died now pay us money!" The whole philosophy behind that is disgusting. At least with a funeral you are paying for services and there is no one forcing you to pay it, you don't NEED a funeral. With this it is taking advantage of someone while they are in morning for personal gain.

When your father dies, would you like someone to come up to you and say "Pay me money, your father died"?

My father does not have anywhere near five million dollars and if he did I'd understand the law and accept some of my inheritance being taken in tax. I'm not entitled to every last penny of money that I didn't even earn.

I guess it's possible I'd see it differently if I was due for millions in inheritance, but it'd be more out of greed than any rationale.

So you are fine with people being charged money for having a relative die?

You are a truly sick and selfish person.

See, the constant use of this kind of misleading framing is one of the reasons I so fervently support it. The opposition has to resort to such shitty tactics because their arguments don't stand.

How else is there a way to explain it? You are forcing people to pay money because someone they cared about died. Doesn't matter if that person has 1 dollar or 1 trillion, that is exactly what an estate tax is.

No it isn't. The way you're talking is misleading. It paints the picture that these people are going to have whatever money they've earned that's sitting in their bank accounts taken from them because a relative happened to die. That's not the case. Some of the money from the FIVE MILLION dollar inheritance that they will eventually receive is being taken. You act like they money they actually worked for is being taken. It's not.

And you think I'm sick and selfish? Because I could certainly frame being so adamant about profiting every last cent off of your loved one's death is the sick and selfish thing. People who eagerly wait for their rich relatives die to be handed their entire fortune for nothing is what's sick and selfish.

Again, stop saying how much money it is because that is entirely irrelevant. The point is that they are being forced to pay money because someone died. You are literally steeling from someone who is suffering from the death of a loved one.

And it is funny that you mention profiting off the death of a loved one when you want the government to do that exact thing. "Hey, congratulations that you happened to have someone die while they lived inside your borders, TAKE THEIR MONEY!!!"

And I haven't even begun to argue the fact that this tax literally only accounts for 1/1000 of the national revenue per year, or that there are so many loopholes that they don't even get money from anyone smart enough to hire a good accountant to handle the assets of the estate (Like the Walton's) costing them upwards of 5 billion per year in lost revenue (which is the same amount that they make from it).

Won't somebody think of the rich!?

Won't somebody think of those spoiled brats who have had mommy and daddy pay their way through life? Now they're getting less of an inheritance! The horror!

Again, the people most affected aren't the rich, but instead working-class Americans. Pretty much every new tax is advertised as trying screw the rich but instead it hits the everybody else a lot harder because they haven't as much money to throw around in the first place. However, the myth of going after the rich is popular because it taps into innate envy and jealousy. "How dare they have that money! They couldn't possibly have done anything to earn it!"

Most working-class Americans don't have a 5.5 million dollar estate.

And no, the children receiving the inheritance didn't do anything to get the money. They just had the good fortune of spawning from the genitalia of a wealthy person.

I don't give a shit how many people are effected by it or who. It is a tax for dying. That is gross.

I find it odd that every form of media has gone digital and when you look at the trends digital outsells physical in all media forms besides video games. That being said if you look at the statistics from 3rd party companies the trend is that digital sales keep rising every year compared to physical. Give it another 5 years and the majority will be digital over physical in the video game industry.

Not a surprise really. Back in high school I had about 30 music albums and they took up a pretty good sized chunk of my desk. If I wanted to take them with me, I had to carry a flip book and a portable cd player. Now I have over 100 music albums and can fit them on a drive smaller then my thumb nail. Plus the device to play those (assuming I don't use my phone) is small enough to fit in the fifth pocket of my jeans.

I have mentioned it before, but I have over a thousand video games. Half of those are digital, and the other half physical. The physical games need pretty much the entirety of my finished basement to store while the digital ones I can put on a few hard drives that take up a small corner of my living room. In fact the space they take up is about the size of 2-3 physical games. Yea, it is nice to see all those physical games on a shelf, but honestly the digital games are much more convenient and practical.

That's BS, my last computer was 10 years old when I replaced it and the only reason I did was because the graphics card I was about to put in it had more Ghz then the processor on the motherboard.

That's impressive and you had it on almost 24/7? I can see most of the hardware having some sort of sleep mode but even the fans lasted that long? I think the longest lasting hardware I had was a hard drive that went about seven years before starting having issues.

Yea, the big thing is you have to keep everything clean. What wears out fans is when they get caked in dirt and have to work twice as hard to spin. As long as they stay clean and can move freely they will last for a long time.

And yea, I tend to keep my computer on all the time, usually only turn it off if I go on vacation.

if you don't tip the pizza delivery guy you better start ordering from somewhere else. they will remember and they won't care if your pizza isn't delivered fast. some will probably even do something to it.

I've never tipped for pizza, and it always arrives in the typical 30-40 minutes. If they are doing to something to contaminate it, it isn't working, because it always still tastes delicious.

You're pretty terrible for not tipping, but I will say that whenever I see an order for someone I know doesn't tip, I take their order last. It's especially fun when they ask for cheese and peppers and tell them I don't have any on me when I always do.

Or if I get the pleasure of taking their order, I tell them our delivery time is something absurd like 2 hours and I make sure they don't get any good deals if they still want delivery.

They wanna waste my time by not tipping, I'm gonna waste theirs.

Your company is wasting your time by not paying you properly. Deliver privately if you want the customer to pay you.

Personally I would prefer to pay the driver an extra $3 then have to pay $30 for my $13 pizza.

But hey if you prefer to pay more for your food, then good for you I guess.

It's because you expect to be special. You expect a company to take time out of their business day to give you a custom response simply for the joy of having interviewed you.

You're not special. You're one of tens, or even hundreds of applicants.

Move on and stop expecting things from companies that owe you nothing.

Actually if you've bothered to have a interview with a company they should give you some feedback. I understand if you've just applied for the job and they don't bother even giving you a automated rejection email but having a interview with them would suggest they were at least a little interested in you more than the other applicants. I mean only a select few get to the interview process. Plus feedback helps with improving ones self. Hell you could even give feedback to the company themselves if a interview didn't work out. Point is it's a two way street and acting like a company has all the power gets you nowhere. This isn't being entitled this is being respectful and professional.

This is where the whole "entitled" argument has some legs though. I am not going to take time out of my day to tell you why I didn't pick you for a job when you don't even have any interest in the first place, but if you ask my why I didn't pick you then I will gladly tell you.

That is the initiative that people talk about when interviewing. He even said that he waits a week to get a response. That is too long, I would be calling the next day or two and I would keep calling until I get a response back saying if they picked me or not. Hell, if I had their e-mail I would be sending a thank you letter the second I get done with the interview so that I stay fresh in their minds. Plus, speaking as someone who gives interviews all the time, if you don't hear anything within the next 3 days, you probably aren't getting the job anyways and I have moved on to interviewing someone else. 9 times out of 10 I have interviewed 3 people in one day, probably the next day I have had a meeting with my boss to see if I would recommend hiring one of them, and then they usually get a call and an offer if they have the job less then 24 hours after the interview. Yes, it can take longer depending on schedules, but it usually doesn't take very long.

I always preferred Mr. Wizard, even if he wasn't as "zany" as Bill Nye.

Did that ever air outside of Canada? I watched it because we were close enough to Canada to get Canadian TV.

Nickelodeon in the 1980s lifted like half (or more) of its programming from Canadian TV. Mostly because it was cheaper, but also because it gave them a large sampling of shows that weren't showing in the US on any other channels. Stuff like You Can't Do That on Television and Out of Control are pretty fondly remembered by kids from that era (and some people also remember stuff like Today's Special and Pinwheel, or stuff from other countries like Danger Mouse, Mysterious Cities of Gold, or Speed Racer reruns).

Mr. Wizard's World was one of the shows they used to run, and it was pretty popular for the era. But it was on every day (not just once a week), so they cycled through their run pretty quickly, and you'd start noticing the reruns pretty quickly if you watched the show a lot. Still, it was a great show if you were actually a smart kid in the 80s who was into, you know, learning things.

But a lot of people today don't really remember that Mr. Wizard was around LONG before the 1980s. He had a show in the 1950s which pretty much popularized the entire concept of a kids' science show:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Watch_Mr._Wizard

Realistically, if not for Mr. Wizard, no one on the Internet would know who the hell Bill Nye even was.

Except maybe me, because I'd still know him as Speed Walker.

I'll admit I never heard of Watch Mr. Wizard until long after Mr. Wizard's World went off the air. I don't think a lot of people are going to look at it today and think "This is a great show", but it is certainly influential to pretty much all kids science shows today even down to the pacing.
