| Topic | Former DNC head agrees. Diverse states need to move ahead of Iowa and NH. |
| Balrog0 02/14/21 1:24:13 PM #21 | I mean you already have delegates pledged to irrelevant candidates from early states. You would see a lot more if you did every primary at once. Even the way it is, one reason the party elites convinced everyone to back Biden was the idea that a contested convention would be bad pr even if the person with the most delegates still ended up winning --- Trying to dunk since July 2020 |

| Balrog0 02/14/21 1:21:54 PM #20 | You would probably need a lot of runoffs or to accept a really low overall % threshold for a national primary to work I would think. Or, alternatively, you let the delegates hash it out when they get to the convention --- Trying to dunk since July 2020 |

It was cool messing around in the castle but the actual levels feel so empty and lifeless.

Ugh, U.S. income tax is progressive, meaning that your income up to $10000 is taxed at that brackets rate, the next chunk is taxed at that rate, etc. etc. The only exception to this rule is Arkansas.

| Balrog0 02/11/21 10:15:13 PM #313 | totalnerdken posted... Ok, so just to be clear, you honestly think she isn't suffering at all? So it's ok to laugh at her situation? No, I don't think suffering is the appropriate term for what is happening at all. I don't know why you're asking it like this, dude, you can use your words to convince me of it. It's not like I'm being unfair in interpreting what you're saying or disingenuous in my own opinions. If she were in a different situation in her life financially or otherwise, maybe I could see suffering being appropriate. But like I said in my first post responding to you, she's still in a much better position to get work in her field than even lifelong dedicated actors, which she isn't. That is still privileged to me. Why do you think otherwise? --- Trying to dunk since July 2020 |

| Topic | Gina Carano fired from Star Wars franchise |
| Balrog0 02/11/21 10:08:01 PM #307 | totalnerdken posted... Yeah, losing income is the biggest part of being cancelled. You lose that source of income and future job prospects look bleak. Her agent dropped her and id imagine finding a new one won't be easy. She's also not paid to be on 1 episode of a podcast. Yes, I understand that it isn't paid. It's obvious that she's fine financially, as we just discussed. You said yeah, but it must suck since she feels like she won't get a job... The podcast thing is to show you, hey, she might not feel that way! People around her are giving her encouragement and attention. She has plenty of money. So what part is making her suffer? --- Trying to dunk since July 2020 |

| Balrog0 02/11/21 9:59:46 PM #303 | totalnerdken posted... Someone being cancelled. I already said it earlier. What you said was suffering earlier was losing income. That's the conversation we had at least. Like I said, she was just on a podcast and still has many fans, so even if this is what you are saying now or meant before, I still don't understand how that's suffering --- Trying to dunk since July 2020 |

| Topic | Gina Carano fired from Star Wars franchise |
| Balrog0 02/11/21 9:02:36 PM #296 | totalnerdken posted... Having no source of income and the idea that you could never be hired again because of being cancelled sounds terrifying to me. I'm sure she will find work but at the time where she thinks the whole world hates her, she's probably also thinking she'll never work again. The whole world doesn't hate get, she was just on a podcast. Look at her Twitter feed that she still has. totalnerdken posted... And I think tons of people are suffering. A s*** ton due to money. I'm a huge supporter of UBI to help resolve that. I hate the idea of just a min wage increase because it still gives businesses too much power to abuse their staff with threat of job loss. That's great, but I'd still like to hear how gina carano is suffering. There's a big difference between minimum wage workers and multimillionaires, obviously. totalnerdken posted... But I mean, I worked since I was 14. When I was in college, I had 3 jobs going at once while being in school full time. My "day off" would be once every few weeks where I only had one 8 hour shift at one of my jobs. Clearly not as bad as your situation but my life hasn't exactly been glamourous either. I'm not sharing to garner sympathy, just putting things into perspective. Gina carano never needs to work again, if she's frugal and willing to give up luxuries she's become accustomed to. Hard to believe you think that's suffering considering what you've had to do --- Trying to dunk since July 2020 |
