Idk if this is just me but remember public education in the US making it seem so damn cool and good and special? It’s like growing up, realizing Santa isn’t real but watching people in their 50’s break down like toddlers when you explain how it’s all made up.
You’re spot on because inflation is what allows the whole thing to work. If instead there was rapid deflation on the trillions of debt held by Americans it would cause many to default.
But hell, talking about inflation is so weird because to most I feel like it just means the things people buy are now more expensive. Things are more expensive because people are able/willing to pay more, they’re just in the losing side of the disparity. It wasn’t inflation of the dollar that caused housing prices in places like Phoenix to climb over the past 20 years, it was people with more money than them moving in from places like California.
Age would be one of the correlations so it’s not wrong. I never said everyone can follow all the correlations I said if you can, if you hit all the variables you get the result regardless of knowing what variables caused said result.
But if you can follow all correlations you effectively get the same result anyway. There’s more than just health reasons to be vegetarian or vegan.
I fucking wish
I’m still not sure what you’re trying to say here. I have agreed with everything you have said, you’re just really annoying about having to self insert yourself into a comment thread like you have to be the center of attention. Tell me, what happens if people under 50 now can never pull from social security for retirement? They will also face 3-6 months before homelessness and death. You immediately made it about how it’s not a tax because you’re one of those who gets to use it as opposed to pay in and never claim.
I never once argued for the removal of SSDI, I only ever brought up how tens or hundreds of millions could face very harsh retirements. For the average American worker, social security is deducted from their pay and they might never see what you now rely on.
I’m not sure what you’re trying to say here. I didn’t forget and I’m not worried, I chose to not bring it up because it’s a shitty comment thread not a research paper. Generally, SSDI is not really worth bringing up on if it is taxes or not and I’d personally argue that tying someone’s ability to live disabled to their previous work is needlessly cruel.
TBH Ima put Social Security in the tax section too as I doubt people under 50 are gonna collect on it.
Didn’t 2024 make the 1.5 degree mark and we’re just checking if it wasn’t a fluke at this point?
Pretty sure it’s the lack of consent of the intent that is undignified. Just like many woman prefer to not have their date pay for their meal because it sets the implication that they have to pay via other ways and they didn’t consent to this.
Even if the intent is good it is still manipulation without consent.
My hell dude, you’re missing the point so hard you’re either a troll or so belligerent you’re not worth talking to. Never once did I say Fahrenheit was better, it’s like you’re just shadowboxing with yourself at this point.
Nobody ever said you did, but billions of people don’t live at sea level and because of that water doesn’t boil or freeze at 0 and 100 for them.
The problem with Celsius and it’s relation to the freezing and boiling point of water is that water is a rare chemical that is less dense as a solid so it will freeze AND boil at different temperatures depending on pressure.
Freezing temperature isn’t 0 at 1500 meters and it doesn’t boil at 100 either.
Edit to add examples:
On Mount Everest water boils at 72 degrees
In Denver, Colorado water boils at 94 degrees
I don’t give a shit what you should or shouldn’t care about.

I’ve joked with European friends about how far does the US have to fall before I can claim refugee status. It feels bittersweet to see the joke become a real question.
Next you’re gonna tell me a constitutional monarchy isn’t a centralized government.
It’s also not explicitly not about them either. Kinda the problem with symbols is that they’re marred by association. This movement is ultimately symbolic and the Clippy people (Microsoft) are at the heart of everything this symbolic gesture goes against.
It would be like me trying to make a symbol of how cars are bad by simply showing an old one.
