Topic | Do you think that, in general, more expensive food products are higher quality? |
whetstone314 01/12/23 10:01:02 PM #35 | dioxxys posted... Try to answer without bias. Yes I realize there's exceptions. eh, I don't agree with your assessment too much. I think in general, a generic or "lesser" brand of the same product is fine. But, for me, I usually buy a couple packages of baby spinach for salads when I go to Kroger. There isn't really a "cheap" version of that. So, I kinda agree with you, but not for the reasons you listed. |
Topic | Has the NBA gotten boring? |
whetstone314 01/12/23 9:53:33 PM #106 | The NBA regular season is just not good. You can go look up how 3 pt percentages drop in the playoffs when teams d-up and make adjustments. Now, that being said, I do think that carrying and traveling are out of control (I haven't watched a lot of games this year, though). If you think a guy has picked up his dribble (and maybe he has) but then he can take it back, without consequence, that puts the defender at a big disadvantage. |

Topic | Elon is trying to cover up the FSD accident on twitter. |
whetstone314 01/12/23 9:45:20 PM #103 | In the past, I'd say liberals were so super into self driving cars for safety reasons that Elon would have absolutely no reason to try to hide something like this. The attitude would be "well, you gotta break some eggs". But now, there is such a burning hatred for him, I can understand why he would cover up. Personally, I've never been a fan of the technology. I don't think the USA has a good enough infrastructure to make something like this work. The self driving cars in minority report seem like something that would work but we are obviously so far from that it won't be adopted in my lifetime, probably. |

Since Biden was the vice president at the time, isnt it Obama who should be investigated, if anyone should?conservative radio is saying what biden did is worse because he didn't have the privilege to handle documents in the same way as potus.

I've had write ups dropped just cause it was my word vs their word. so, you'd say being able to beat people is the measure of having power over someone? |

But at the same time, they're inmates for a reason. Maybe don't put your career on the line for a criminal Lol, even with the staggering power dynamic, you are sympathetic to the officers... |

whetstone314 01/07/23 11:26:16 AM #67 | [LFAQs-redacted-quote] You're just too naive. You think that because an administration backs down from something because it was extremely unpopular, that all of a sudden, they magically don't desire that outcome anymore. I cannot effectively argue with that. Have a nice day. |

whetstone314 01/07/23 11:15:22 AM #63 | [LFAQs-redacted-quote] It is clear that they desire this much oversight on the average american's bank account. Just because it ended up being very unpopular, and they couldn't effectively explain how it would "make the rich pay their fair share", they stopped pushing it. But they can't put the cat back in the bag. But they will try to get it in again. |

People should not have to live in fear that a dog in a public space will appear and maul them This is a case where I think civil repercussions should be even more weighty. The owners of these dogs should never know financial security again. They should stay up at night wondering if they have enough money for ramen noodles. |

I mean that, objectively, this administration DID want to put into place auditing that I've described in this topic. That's all I meant by objective. Like, it's factual, they've gone on the record. If you fail to acknowledge this, you aren't being objective. |

whetstone314 01/07/23 10:50:51 AM #47 | Heineken14 posted... Because a troll is getting flustered? Nah. What is there to be flustered about? Anyone who has said anything of substance in this topic is either somewhat agreeing with me or has made a single post and failed to return. You are the only one who appears to be trolling. Direct question, do you disagree that in May of 2021, the administration proposed auditing any bank account transaction of $600 or more? Follow up, do you agree that some poor and middle class would ultimately be harmed by such a rule? Follow up, do you agree that in all likelihood, rich people will still somehow avoid paying taxes? Questionmarktarius posted... We cannot have an objective government, when the nominally "conservative" party is full of religious zealots. I don't mean to take the side of republicans. I only mean that some posters, like Heine, are so dedicated to their own side that they will refuse to ever criticize any bad ideas that come from it. |

I heard the best way to play Elden Ring when it launched was to run the ps4 version of the game on a ps5. Also, I wanna play demon souls. I think that obviously if you wanna play a cross plat 5 years after it releases, the PC version is going to be leaps and bounds better. But at launch it can often make sense (especially for multiplayer reasons) to be on a console |

whetstone314 01/07/23 10:01:19 AM #30 | ThePieReborn posted... Problem is you're being deliberately obtuse. The necessity for more IRS agents does not stem from taxpayers at the bottom of the totem pole. Any such audit is simple and straightforward. The need for more agents is entirely based on the complexities and absurd legal devices that permit opaque movement and manipulation of wealth by those taxpayers at the top of the totem pole. A reasonable counter argument is that the law should be more simple, don't you think? Also, is this 37k not for checking the bank accounts of the regular people? https://www.cbsnews.com/news/irs-bank-account-update-change-treasury-10000-dollars/ In this article I linked, you can see that the plan from this administration and from the IRS was to audit any bank account with inflow or outflow of over 600 usd. I don't know about you, but I have a deposit made into my account every week that is over 600 usd from my employer, and I make a rent payment totalling 1300 usd (roughly) every month. Transactions like this are what they want to track, and I'm rather sure I'm not jumping through any complex hoops and dodging taxes. Why would they want to watch me? |

whetstone314 01/07/23 9:55:39 AM #28 | Intro2Logic posted... Imo you should not give the troll the attention they want. There is nothing wrong with trying to suss out how much money someone needs to make before we "stop enforcing tax law on them". It should be a simple question, and you should be prepared to call out lawmakers if they break their promises and DO go after the waitresses. Somehow though, I think a lot of our supporters of the 37k here are unwilling to do that. hmm, I wonder why? |

whetstone314 01/07/23 9:48:10 AM #17 | Heineken14 posted... You know what they say about assumptions. If someone says they want to enforce the law, and hire 37000 employees to do it, and they don't elaborate further, I'm left with properly interpreting the english they write down. |

whetstone314 01/07/23 9:45:44 AM #11 | [LFAQs-redacted-quote] Well, there are a lot of people like waitresses who don't properly report taxes. We've had discussions where they benefit from not being made minimum wage and living in a murky water of sorts. I can only assume you want to crack down on this behavior, what with enforcing the tax code, and what not. |

whetstone314 01/07/23 9:41:21 AM #2 | I've seen evidence that mods on gamefaqs and reddit can go entirely rogue, and crush you. That being said, Reddit is mainstream now, so people are "very proud" if they moderate a large sub. That goes to peoples' heads in a way that is impossible on gamefaqs. |
