• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why DO credit card companies make a stink about adult content anyway?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I think it has to do with some law where banks are required to cut all financial ties to any company that aids in the production, purchase or selling of CSAM and Sexual Trafficking content etc. so many businesses are wary of any website that provides adult content unless there is the strictest of moderation and verification procedures.

  Which is one of the reasons many websites (tumbler, Reddit) are limiting NSFW content because they want to be able to have users buy things on their website but don’t want to moderate the content to the standards of the banks.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Internet forums are disappearing because now everything is Reddit and Discord. And that's worrying.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I hate Reddit, and I hate discord.

  I am using discord for a discussion thread of one thing which follows a serial webnovel and it’s infuriating because when something new happens there’s always a constant influx of people asking the same questions because there is no way to pin or highlight pertinent information and no one is going to go scrolling through a million messages searching for the first time the question was asked and answered.

  Discussion threads! Not chat messages!

  I seriously don’t understand why we don’t have a mandatory class that covers taxes, T4 slips, investing, labour laws, budgeting, reading nutritional information on foods, etc.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Owing your home today is nearly impossible, but even if you did the ever increasing property taxes will bury you⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  People need to stop thinking about property like it’s any other regular thing like a vehicle.

  Land is not a thing it is a limited resource.

  If someone owns a piece of land in a city it doesn’t matter what they are currently doing with it, even if they do nothing with it, that’s wasting potential that someone else could be doing with it and affects everyone around that piece of land.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Owing your home today is nearly impossible, but even if you did the ever increasing property taxes will bury you⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It doesn’t make sense that cities need to increase property taxes every year though

  Property tax revenue should be increasing every year by default without changing the rate simply because houses and properties increase in value every year typically

  If property tax is 5% and the town makes $100,000,000, the next year if property value increases by 5% then their revenue goes up 5% as well to $105,000,000 automatically. Why do they need to also increase the tax to 6%?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Owing your home today is nearly impossible, but even if you did the ever increasing property taxes will bury you⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It would only work if all the privateers get sent to one specific state like Texas and the two systems are kept completely separate.

  Let everyone move to Texas and pay no taxes, but every hospital visit or doctors visit is paid out of pocket or by insurance companies, no one has social security or welfare, every road is a toll road, you pay a private fire fighter company a monthly fee to be on their protective detail, police are private security firms you also need to pay a fee for protection or to investigate any thefts from your property, there’s no mayor or other elected representative for their town because where does the money come from to pay them, the army is also a private security company, the list goes on

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨dear republicans, what's the point of alienating every single ally of the US?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Plus there’s no one saying you can’t reduce reliance on specific countries like China. It is indeed dangerous to rely on any one country for too much. But if you spread it out to many countries and make sure to have some domestic supply for the most important things it would be fine.

  At the moment Trump is targeting all countries, and many for no reason at all.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨dear republicans, what's the point of alienating every single ally of the US?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  China also doesn’t want to interrupt trade, it benefits them just as much as America, that’s how. They won’t invade Taiwan if there’s a threat of war disrupting trade.

  If you isolate the country from China too much then there is no benefit to China not invading. Globalization encourages peace because trade benefits all. Russia is suffering from all their sanctions now, they made a mistake thinking things would be over in a few days and people would get over it. Now they need to grit their teeth and pull through it. No one else wants to be Russia.

  I don’t think there is any way to bring back those jobs. You guys are dreaming if you think you can just go back to an economy of the past.

  The world has globalized, America can’t just pretend it hasn’t. Sure you can try and bring everything in house but by alienating allies there are lots of things you just can’t get yourselves like many raw materials, and then you need to worry about exporting to actually bring money into your economy not just move it around in circles.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Your boomer parents after giving you the most outdated job-seeking advice of your fucking life [Day 86]⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Eh, we are currently doing our hiring rounds for a few seasonal positions and have offered the job to a few people who have responded with they need some time to think or are waiting on a few other potential offers.

  That’s all fine and dandy but we tell them they need to respond with a yes or a no by the end of the week because we need to hire someone and if they no we will need to waste another week waiting for our second choice to shop around and eventually have no time left, they get a day to respond or we ask the next one.

  They can’t just promise they “never will” and then get rid of it. People who used the service under the original agreement should still be able to claim that benefit since it was promising to never sell it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨is telling an employee how he has to speak micromanaging? Is it toxic?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Communication can be an important part of one’s job and communication encompasses than just being able to speak to someone, but also being able to tailor your speech to your audience.

  If a manager feels that your vocabulary can hinder how much a client or customer will be able to understand than it is reasonable to ask them to tone it down a bit in certain situations. In other where you are communicating with colleagues in adjacent industries it would probably be a boon to have someone sound super smart and knowledgeable and then you want them to tone it up. It’s situational and can be a positive or a negative but the employee needs to be able to recognize the situation they are in and adjust accordingly.

  I have a coworker right now where we have this issue. He’s a very knowledgable person but also a little arrogant and always wants to sound like the smartest person in the room, but when you are explaining stuff to a random person on the street you don’t want him to be blasting off technical jargon and Latin names for shit as it doesn’t help the person understand anything and doesn’t encourage increased dialogue.

  Make a probe with a giant fuel tank and engine land on the asteroid then just fire away to push it slightly off target so it misses the planet. Don’t need to destroy just alter the trajectory a tiny bit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How is the Stock Market keeping it's value after *points to everything*?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Because not enough people are selling.

  If people / companies don’t believe the stocks will lose value they won’t sell. If they don’t sell they won’t lose value.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  So, of all the checks and balances and having three branches of government, one branch is able to take all the power just by signing a single piece of paper giving themselves the power? That… Makes so much sense
