In 2026, the chicest thing a gay actor can do is never explicitly come out as gay but also make it abundantly clear that he is. Coming out is too modern. Staying closeted is too old fashioned. But this method merges contemporary freedom with Old Hollywood glamour and allure, and it weeds out the dumbest people who truly don’t get it. I call it the Pascal Method.

Taylor Swift does this

no she doesn’t

You clearly don't go here or to queer history and signaling, or both, enough to have this conversation and I'm not going to explain it to you. You could have asked questions, you could have done even a modicum of research. You didn't and you made yourself look ignorant. Goodbye.

Another fun thing I do with customers - specifically parents of very small children who don’t know they’re alive yet - is directly imply I think the coffee is for the baby, not the parent. and lemme tell you, like 70% of parents eat that shit up. They immediately go along with the bit and start discussing it with their newborn child, while the baby just stares at us like 😮

No matter which end of the political spectrum they're on, they still managed to get it totally wrong here.

My epicsauce based atheist kids don't like moses waste half an hour of your life in finding out why

[hiveswap]

if your kids don't think enslaved people have the right to fight back using the power of god against their enslavers and read it as villianous behavior then you have shitty kids. Start over

[theconstitutionisgayculture]

I'd bet money this is about the first born thing (if the guy isn't just making it up for views). Which is still stupid, because it's not like Pharaoh wasn't given ample opportunity to avoid that plague (and all the others) by just letting the slaves go free.

[gholateg]

I'ma be real honest, if my adopted brother comes out of the desert and his new God turns the fucking Nile into blood, and my Gods do jack shit to help me?

I'm converting and letting his people go where ever the fuck they wanna go. We're not even getting to the flies or the boils or annnny of that nonsense. Plague 1, we done. maybe plague 2, to make sure. but TEN?! Helllll no.

Holy cow, that's amazing!

Cool parents with cool skills make a room I think at least of half of us watching this thought, "Oh, I want one, too!" I would have loved this as a kid and I would love it now.

[beardedmrbean]

Well that's kinda creepy, break out the bog butter I guess.

This sounds like the beginning of a monster movie featured on Red Letter Media.

“i also choose this guy’s dead wife” was easily the #1 funniest thing to ever be written on the internet.

[carry-on-my-wayward-butt]

you can know the punchline but you can’t stop it from punching you.

[mighty-meerkat]

i do also feel the need to add that phil8248 really liked the joke. he said his wife had always had a dark sense of humour, even about her illness and death, and seeing the joke made him feel like he was laughing with her one last time.

Why is a tax on unrealized gains so bad? if anything it seems more efficient since it doesn't punish people for transacting. Is the fear that the underlying asset is illiquid so people couldn't afford to hold it even if it was profitable? Is it just that the accounting would be annoying?

It destroys people. It leverages a tax on people, sometimes a higher amount than they've ever owned in their life, on the theory that maybe they will make that money in the future.

[brazenautomaton]

the advocates of it would say that it doesn't hurt normal people only the obscenely wealthy who they hate and want to kill

they don't notice or remember that if you're afraid someone will hurt you, and that person says you aren't worth bothering with, they are coming for you first.

[siryouarebeingmocked]

>Is it just that the accounting would be annoying?

You need to add a whole lot more infrastructure to determine what the "worth" of those unrealized gains are. Making a government program bigger rarely results in more efficiency.

Also, this gives the government a strong incentive to over-estimate the unrealized gains for more tax revenue.

Also, who says they won't continue to tax transactions?

[yourtoradorasextendedwarranty]

That's the stupid part too of course they would continue to make taxes on transactions necessary and relevant. The government can't help themselves but consistently overspend on literally everything. And that's the reason that they constantly want to raise taxes in the United States. And every other country for that matter.

Because they think money should be in their hand rather than the hands of the people who hold those things.

Sadly however, what most people don't realize is the fact that when you text unrealized games not only does the government get to overestimate what's something is worth to charge you the most they possibly can. They will also continue to find ways to charge you on it because if you think that they're going to stop at a tax like this you're out of your mind. And the one fun part about stocks or other on realized gains, like solid assets like houses and cars etc, because those are, in fact, on realized games because they are worth money in estimate. Is the fact that eventually those people are going to have to start selling things off to pay for these games that they have not received which means they are paying taxes on money that doesn't technically exist.

The dumbest part about that is that it liquidates everyone's assets all at one time. Worse than that it will actually do massive damage to most of the stock market. Which does affect the entire market.

[theconstitutionisgayculture]

Not to mention, most retirement plans are unrealized gains. This would wipe out 401ks overnight. It would destroy pensions.

[the-davest-of-uncles]

The people pushing for this are okay with a collapse.

[siryouarebeingmocked]

Bold of you to assume reds know anything about money.

[confusionofconfusions-deactivat]

i love that 17th century jewish poltergeist story where the family living in the haunted house calls a catholic priest for help before they contact a rabbi, because yeah, i think that would be my call too; id be like, oh? a demon in my house speaking latin and drawing inverted crosses on my wall in sulfuric bile? then without even questioning my faith i’d call up the catholic church and be like yo father, one of your boys loose come get him

The assholes openly admit it. The whole point of college is to enforce the hierarchy. When those who were supposed to be low on the hierarchy started going to college, the assholes get angry and want to make them suffer for challenging the hierarchy.

[emmaubler]

This is the biggest pile of cope I've ever seen. "Boomers understood natural hierarchy"--by which you mean boomers were taught by their parents that they should know their place in society and college wasn't for the likes of them, and what a shame they spurned the lessons of their forefathers. How dare boomer parents want their children to have better than themselves?? Sure, that's what caused the college crisis.

What caused the college crisis was the government getting involved in the student loan business. Colleges realized they now had a blank government check so they could charge whatever they wanted and get still paid, as opposed to boomer times when the costs had to be manageable or else the students just didn't go, and the government got nondischargable payments with infinite interest. These two entities decided to gorge themselves at the expense of the young people they were meant to be serving, so of course government-run public schools developed a policy of trying to funnel every student into a college loan so they could keep the money train going. It's not your grandpa's fault you have a mountain of debt at 21; it is very much the fault of government and the colleges themselves deciding to enrich themselves on the back of your future.
