Conservative: "Then they need to increase taxes! Oh wait..."

Conservatives literally believe that lowering taxes increases tax revenue by increasing the total revenue to be taxed by more than the decrease caused by a lower rate.

IQs have been steadily increasing. Your premise is flawed.

So they host pedos and other deplorables? How deeply surprising. Here's my surprised face πŸ˜‘

Not to mention a federal law that seems to have bipartisan support.

Gotta be more specific or you'll get monkey-pawed. The next winning lottery number is 42. At the bingo hall of the assisted living facility in Fargo, North Dakota.

If you want to get pedantic about it, 3rd world originally meant countries that didn't take sides in the cold war. 1st world was US and western European democracies and their client states and allies, 2nd world was USSR and their client states and allies.

3rd world was Africa, India, a lot of SE Asia and some Central/South American countries.

It didn't need to melt, raising the temperature of steel decreases it's strength.

I would imagine most devices have BMS settings to deal with this now.

There's not much incentive to do that. Battery longevity reduces sales. Keeping the battery at 100% gives better review scores. It's a lose lose for phone makers to implement that.

Tech news is a saturated field. It's no great loss if this sack of dicks gets thrown in the river.

There's at least 10 states with no annual fee. Arizona is $50 to file, $0 annual fees, and no annual report to file.

If you'd prefer your company to have voting rights, you can file in Rhode Island, and your company can vote in local and state elections without ever stepping foot in the state. Hooray late stage capitalism 😞

You're thinking of propylene glycol. Ethylene glycol is metabolized differently. It's not used in vape liquids.

Before alarm clocks were easily available there used to be 'knocker uppers'. They'd come tap on your window with a long stick to wake you up.

The US is the largest provider of international food aid by an absurd margin.

That's not a very polite way to correct a non-native speaker for a minor misspelling. When you ask Iraqis a question and then correct their English it comes off a bit dickish.

It eliminates my wife's payments entirely with no interest accruing. Which is great because we're dirt poor at the moment.

That's not an insult as the internet has decided. It can be used sarcastically, but in my experience as a southerner it is more often a compliment for doing something nice.

It's a turboprop plane, so a jet engine driving a propeller. Definitely sounds weird when phrased like that though.

African or European?

Oneida cutlery too. The cult died, the cutlery survived.

There's no need for a crack on this game, it's available on GOG which is always DRM free.

Layoffs for in-demand careers might offer severance pay, but most layoffs offer nothing other than a heart felt "fuck you".

There are two and only two things that makes Epic Games a pariah.

(1)Exclusive content on PC should be shunned so hard that it's not even a fucking option. You can explain away exclusively on PS3 because of its unique hardware, but it's just a naked monopolistic power grab on PC.

(2) Epic game store sucks on every level. It's a pigs 3 week old rotting corpse compared to Valve's packaged ham.

I'm posting this from a 7 year old phone with an OLED screen. The screen still looks as good as the day I bought it.

How is OSHA not up their ass before this even happened.

They're wildly underfunded and understaffed.

I live in the US, my wife couldn't find test strips for over a week.

You don't want to be a speaker at a librarian convention though. 500 people shushing you.

Hogwarts Legacy was cracked ages ago. It was cracked in under a month.

I'll just fire up Netscape Navigator

Dealerships aren't owned by car companies.

Big spoon would be astride the back like they were riding?

I'll tack on apple bananas. They're tiny and taste like an apple and a banana had babies.

Aftermarket pads are still allowed to.

None of those sentences are remotely equivalent if you actually substitute. They're nonsensical, even.

Well if you want to make it an optional occasion we could make an optional cake?

oh no, those are my surplus plates for guests only?

and I made an extra extraneous cupcake just in case?

also I think you misread me, I was saying it's not special if a plant needs sunlight

You were the one equivocating those words.

Could you expand on that thought for those of us who haven't read John Tipton's translation of Sophocles' Ajax?

800 known incidents, in one city, from a national chain.

It’s like saying municipal water has shit in it if it is treated water.

Water? Awful stuff, don't drink it. Fish fuck in it.

90% of student loans are owned by the federal government. They get the interest. Those are the only loans that are eligible for forgiveness. There's no lenders losing anything.

WELL MAYBE YOU SHOULDN'T JUST LOOK AT YOUR OWN INSTANCE LIKE SOME TANKIE AND OR TRUMPER!

Sorry, just reinforcing the stereotype πŸ™ƒ

To be fair /r/malefashionadvice turned into a circlejerk of popular people posting fits (influencers?) and very little real advice outside of a preset notion of what was acceptable.
