- Comment on Are users who openly parrot literal Nazi talking points allowed here? 6 days ago:
Lemmy.ml is super commie and Nazis are anti commie, I don’t understand how this is a coherent line of thinking
- Comment on Are users who openly parrot literal Nazi talking points allowed here? 6 days ago:
The “Nazi talking points” that aren’t mentioned could be a bait, and be something as simple as anti communism or economic reforms that stimulate production through public works (e.g. the autobahn)
They may not be the things the Nazis were hated for…

Okay so what are the real numbers on what proportion of women lie about domestic or sexual violence?
- Comment on Finally fixing capital gains tax is good – but linking it to another tax cut for Australia’s rich is bollocks | Greg Jericho 2 weeks ago:
Selling them off when they vest is subject to taxation as income at the point years after they’re awarded, down or up. You take the risk (not that you have a choice in the tech sector) and you get fucked both ways for it

Looks like correlation to me, how does it establish cause and effect?
- Comment on Finally fixing capital gains tax is good – but linking it to another tax cut for Australia’s rich is bollocks | Greg Jericho 2 weeks ago:
A lot of people, especially those getting laid off by the thousand in tech at the moment, are paid in shares instead of cash
These people already get double taxed, once essentially when the share rights vest and are exercised (e.g. years after they are awarded) they’re taxed as income at the current value despite not having been sold. Then taxed again when sold, as capital gains
If you make a loss on your shares paid as income by the time they are sold, bad luck, you have to gamble on other stocks/assets and make a large win greater than your losses to ever see the tax back again

Make sure you take vitamin k mix or vit d supplement can calcify arteries
- Comment on Tanning apps that offer ‘safe’ sun routines undermining efforts to tackle skin cancer 5 weeks ago:
That’s the claim atd I used to echo it, but with near daily walks (weather permitting) plus hikes when weekends permit, plus gardening, I’m still deficient. Same story for almost everyone I work and exercise with.
There’s either more to it or the claim doesn’t hold up empirically
- Comment on Tanning apps that offer ‘safe’ sun routines undermining efforts to tackle skin cancer 5 weeks ago:
Article suggesting that the body should never have any sort of tan because that’s dangerous
Meanwhile everyone is vitamin d deficient, developing auto immune diseases from low levels
Animals seek out sunlight to sit in, look at your cat or dog
You don’t need to go overboard cooking yourself for more than a few minutes but advocating for literally no sun exposure is so stupid?
