Wouldn't Oedipus have done that? (And Oedipus complex is not an apt name, as in the story - Oedipus doesn't know he's marrying his mother, just that she's a MILF, it's only later on that he finds out she's his mother)

I'm not talking about the concept of finding older women attractive, which has probably been around since the dawn of man. I'm talking about the ACTUAL term "MILF", which seems to originate in the 1990's.

Linguist Laurel A. Sutton states that MILF was one of 9 terms for "attractive women" collected from undergraduates at a large linguistics class at Berkeley in the spring of 1992. Stereotypical users would be "college students from East Contra Costa, California". The term was widely popularized by the film American Pie (1999), where John Cho's character (simply credited as 'MILF Guy No. 2') used the term to refer to Jennifer Coolidge's character Jeanine Stifler

Republicans are at least realistic enough to know we can't "beat" covid. That's why we've been saying we need to learn to live with it for the past 2 years. That impossible promise was made by Biden/Democrats. It's a reminder that he makes promises he can't possibly keep and how dim people are to think he's a competent, straight talking, leader.
Politicians making promises they had zero intentions to keep, and people believing it, isn't something that was invented in 2020.

God, it's killing me that you guys are making me defend Joe Biden.

I'm no Biden fan, at all, but when you try to pass mask or vaccine legislation, and it gets blocked by a right-leaning Supreme Court, hell bent on making you an "Accomplished nothing" President, it's kinda hard to get things "back to normal".

Although, sadly, the US Government working AGAINST the President and not WITH him is pretty "back to normal" if you ask me.

At it's inception (assuming you're of the belief that the term originated in the first American Pie movie) the term "Milf" came from the concept of boys/men that were attracted to their friend's mom.

So, unless they had them at a very young age, girls in their 20's and 30's really weren't int h eoriginal Milf category.

Like, a girl that's 22 with a newborn really isn't a Milf.

So, I support the 38-48 age range as prime Milf territory.

Cowboys fan here. I really dont know why were hated so much at this point. Its not like the team has been successful and I dont see how our fans are any worse than anyone else. Steelers fans are insufferable, but nobody cares about them outside of their division. People hate the Patriots almost as much as the Cowboys, but the Patriots have at least been relevant for the last couple of decades-ish.
People tend to lump an entire fanbase on the worst section of said fanbase.

And for the most part, the worst section of the Dallas fanbase is BY FAR the most obnoxious.

They're even obnoxious about how much they are hated. The whole "The world can't keep the 'D' out of their mouth".

And what compounds it is that fact that, unlike a team like Pittsburgh or New England, they haven't won anything in close to 30 years, but puff their chests out like they win it all every year.

The idea of there being a cutoff point is silly. If the means by which someone is accumulating money is immoral, then it is going to be immoral regardless of being a millionaire or billionaire. Some arbitrary cutoff just means theyll better learn how to disperse their assets so as to appear under the cutoff point .
That's exactly what would end up happening.

Wealth would just get transferred to a trusted source, creating two "threshold

The point wasn't the number. The point is that there should be a cutoff but I don't think having a single billion dollars should be it. There are things that high amounts of money are required to buy to run a company.
I know. I was making the same point.

Who's to decide how much wealth is "too much wealth"?

To some people, making $200k a year seems excessive.

So it's one of those things where if they decide $40 billion in wealth is too much, someone will then say it should actually be $35, then $30, etc etc.

The question shouldn't be "Should Billionaires Exist", but rather "Should Billionaires Exist who have more than 40 Billion Dollars". There are those billionaires that work hard for their money, and as such should be allowed to enjoy the fruits of their labor. Past that its a bit much, and all extra money should be going back to paying off the national debt.
Why 40 though? Why not 39? 35? 30?

So what happens when someone's net worth is $999,999,999.99?

Does the government just take whatever "worth" they gain beyond that?

And how does the government then transfer that "worth" to someone poorer, especially if it's not liquid?

You have, but it's not as simple as it being "solve for x" in real life.

That being said, all math is just a more complicated versions of the simple add/subtract/multiply/divide you had on lock by 4th grade.

As someone who worked 25-30 hours a week while going college full time, I'm always conflicted when I see this topic come up.

Part of me feels bad that many of these kids got themselves into a situation they have no idea then were getting themselves into, and the other part of me is of the thought of "How could you be so dumb as to get yourself into this situation?".

This in no way a brag or anything, but I (probably) could've went to any school I wanted to (I was accepted to Syracuse, PSU, Seton Hall, and St. John's), but when push came to shove, it came down to going to the best school(s) I could afford. I went to community college for 2 years, then I went to the local State University for another 2.5 years.

Unless you're going for a very specific job out there, half of the job application just want you to have that degree. Doesn't even matter what it's in. In the sales department where I work, the 6 sales people all have degrees. Not a single one of them has a business degree. 3 teaching degrees, one Art Major, and two Liberal Arts majors.

If you eliminate the crap from your diet, the calories will regulate itself. Replacing sugary drinks with water for example easily cuts down on like 300+ calories a day and it won't make you hungry.
Read the post right before yours. Calorie intake IS the most important, but counting calories on day 1 isn't as ideal as making sure you're eating the right kinds of food.

They are essential, but not required.

You can easily go a day, a few days, even a whole week+ without your cell phone.

It obviously makes things easier, but not having one doesn't make certain things impossible.

For example, printing out directions, while not ideal, is still an option. So is using a map.

Walking to a place an asking to use the phone is still an option should your car break down. Inconvenient? Obviously.

Cell phones have made things easier, no doubt. But they aren't a necessity.
