I’m not talking about the 44% tax on capital gains.  I’m talking about the 25% tax on unrealized gains.  

Gotcha, sorry.

Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. It's so simple, so relatable, so easy to put into practice. It renders the rest of religious teachings almost superfluous. 

But what if I like being slapped in the face. I think I need to create my own religion.

That doesn’t explain how absolutely f#&%ing stupid the tax on unrealized gains is.  

No but it’s not a new tax and you said it’s one of the dumbest tax proposals in history. The Forbes article gives a lot more context than the headline.

Absolutely one of the dumbest tax proposals in history.  Yeah...let's tax the crap out of UNREALIZED gains.

I just am baffled as to why the people who are developing all this thinks we need this.  

Evil people like eviling.

Didn't HC Matt Rhule say that there were things that DR had to work on?  I know all the qb's have something to work on to get better but I haven't heard what the things DR needs to work on?

You must be new to football coaches. Bo Pelini basically said Lavonte David sucks a$$ (paraphrasing a little).

Does this mean the idiot wing of the Republican party is loosing influence?  

The Senate has always been slightly more rational, because gerrymandering can't impact it and each party (generally) needs to nominate someone who isn't a complete nutjob. When you have a bunch of districts that have 70/30 splits of party membership, that's when the crazies get elected in the House.

I suppose if you're Trump this guy might look like a warrior.

I didn't follow teach's advice but I did lose $300. But I've gained back $115 now. I should probably pay more attention but I just auto invest my retirement stuff and don't look at it much.

PSA: I followed teach's investment advice and lost $300 in 7 days

I don't understand the government sometimes.

There is a cap on SS so you don't have to pay on any income after a certain threshold. But, if you make too much income you're not allowed to do a Roth IRA. Just be consistent. Remove the SS cap and let anyone do a Roth IRA.

some people post a lot of really dumb s#!t here

Are we NOT fans of lower property taxes???

Sure, but the article kind of explains why the bill was dumb.

I have not played the game and am not familiar with it but I was looking forward to this series based on the trailers I saw. I usually like post apocalyptic stuff. I guess I was expecting something a little different and more serious. I’m only 4 episodes in and 3 & 4 have been better but I wasn’t too impressed with the beginning. It’s an odd mix of being light and unserious but with serious violence mixed in. It’s growing on me but I’ll need to see more before I’ll say it’s good.

I would say it gets better. There were a couple episodes I didn't care for and I nearly stopped watching (I think eps 2 and 3 maybe).

They are on the brink of becoming a super pathetic country and I can't wait for them to become nothing but "a gas station"

 

I wonder what the final pictures will look like of putin...because it won't be pretty. 

I wouldn't mind if they were similar to Gaddafi's final photos.

Shogun's still great. Fallout's great. So much good TV lately.

Yep, and men who ejaculate anywhere other than inside a vagina should be arrested for abortion.

So there are stupid people on both sides....

But maybe instead of the moon causing ocean waves, the ocean waves are sucking the moon towards the earth, and because all the glaciers are melting the waves are becoming better at moon-sucking, and this causes an influx of eclipses.

I don't necessarily land on either side of this, and think language is never static and people have likely always bemoaned the 'lessened impact' of words being used more frequently throughout time. 

 

My main question is, how and when do you know something is a genocide while it's happening in real time as opposed to calling that with the lens of history.

It’s an accusation that shouldn’t be made in real time unless you are a lot more sure than any of the people referring to it as a genocide are. 

Gaza’s governed by terrorists who raped/killed/kidnapped a bunch of civilians at a concert. Retaliating by trying to kill the terrorists isn’t genocide. I’m sure Israel could do a much more successful genocide if they wanted to. There’s a reason their existence is constantly threatened yet they’re still there.

If you’re interested, this is the best rundown/explanation of Lost that I’ve seen. Listing the events in chronological order helps quite a bit.

Now you need to find the 2 Lost actors who are in Shogun

I’ve been annoyed by both sides of the discussion of her greatness, but mostly by the side that blows smoke up her a$$. I was watching a men’s BB game, I think in the Elite 8. So one of the best men’s teams in the country. A guy makes a long 3. Announcer says (paraphrasing) he’s looking like Steph Curry out there. Another announcer says “or Caitlin Clark.” And it made me want to barf. You can talk about her being good without being so moronic it becomes a joke. And it’s not that the guy was saying she could do well in the NBA. It’s obnoxious because she hasn’t played a single second against the equivalent female competition. If she had been in the WNBA 10 years and put up Curry like numbers, the comment wouldn’t bother me. 

Anyhow, there is no way she joins the 3 on 3 league. She doesn’t seem to do well (or I should say as well) against physical, athletic female defenders. She won’t be able to shoot over or get open against men who are 6-18” taller than her typical defenders. Not to mention she’d be a huge liability on defense unless the team composition required 1 female per team. 

My favorite play was at 8:36 here:
