I'm pretty sure those weren't actually earned but rather given in hindsight.

Why are you pretty sure about that? There is literally a Snopes article specifically about the tweets that TC just posted disproving them.

What breed tastes the best?

When the one I have breaks.

I wonder why TC didn't post the first tweet in that thread. It may have something to do with the community correction attached to it.

"Elon Musk earned a B.A. in physics and a B.S. in economics from the University of Pennsylvania. The degrees were awarded on May 19, 1997." -Penn, 2019

Snopes says that there is no evidence that Musk ever overstayed his visa. Don't spread misinformation because you don't like the target of it.

Yes, I am.

If she made it to the general election where it was her versus any Republican, of course. I would not vote for her in the primary though. I don't consider being First Lady to be the kind of experience that I want in a candidate.

Four sets of four numbers is not exactly a lot to memorize. I don't try to do it, it just happens after a little bit of use.

Its hard to say how much value I put on the life of a dog but its certainly nowhere near twenty grand.

I bet the new Papa Johns calzone stuffed crust where they use mozzarella and garlic-herb ricotta is fantastic.

People doing mass feeding events having to register with the city and follow safe food preparation guidelines isnt wrong, though obviously theres a decent chance of the city being shit about handling their end of it.

From reading another article it seems like the group may be refusing to go along with the requirements by saying they arent a charity but rather a political group serving food as a form of protest. Which, frankly, seems like a kind of horseshit claim.

So is your solution to have the fine be a percentage of a person's net worth? Percentage of what they have liquid? Percentage based on the value of the vehicle that caused the violation?

Don't complain about the problem without giving a proper solution.

I thought my general belief about a solution was pretty evident from posting in a thread about proportional fines and clearly indicating that flat fines are worse than having to deal with the more complicated process of assigning proportional fines. I doubt youre going to consider me saying net worth here to be any more of a solution than my previous post.

The "methodology" is that proportional fines are a terminally dumb idea.

Flat fines that functionally mean the wealthy dont have to obey the same rules as the rest of us are far worse.

I had a few rum and cokes last night.

They are by definition not equality. You might be able to argue equity, but certainly not equality.

You must be using a different definition of equality.

This isnt complicated, Nazi means a specific ideology that has overlap with general White nationalism but they are not the same thing. Its the all squares are rectangles but not all rectangles are squares thing.

I dont understand why you think that income or wealth based fines are not equality.

It really doesnt though. Doses and strains make a big difference compared to how much alcohol someone drinks lol.

There's a pretty big difference between somebody drinking two beers or taking two shots of grain alcohol too.

You really going with Reefer Madness?
