I’m inclined to agree with this. Jones doesn’t seem like someone trying to sell a bunch of crazy conspiracy theories which he doesn’t believe himself. He seems like he’s just genuinely batshit crazy.

What is that?

Fair point, albeit a different one from the one I was making.

Oh, I’m not blaming you at all, I’m just commenting on the article

Misleading title. Not incorrect, but it is based on what the source of income is, it is not about how rich you are relative to the rest of the population. The title makes it sound like if you make a certain amount of money, your tax rate is lowered. Alternatively, it sounds like the richest Dutch are evading 12% worth of taxes. But neither of these are true statements AFAIK, and either way they aren’t made in the article, so the title is misleading.

Edit: Changed “the top 1%” to “the richest Dutch”.

Tbh I feel like this is sometimes the case. Whenever I’ve looked for really cheap basic one-color t-shirts, the lowest cost ones usually have a brand logo on them.

The past tense of yeet is yöted

Maybe a word which likens it to how water flows in a river? How about rivering?

“Here, eat a caterpillar, you’ll feel better.”

Lamest take

So even if Biden is a bad candidate we should pretend like he’s not because the alternative is worse? Trump is absolutely much worse, but that doesn’t make Biden good. Why do we have to sell him as an above average candidate when he’s not? Honestly I don’t really see your point here. Claiming that Biden is bad doesn’t make Trump any better. I’d also like to clarify that I never said that anyone should not vote for Biden. And I definitely don’t endorse voting for Trump as an alternative.

Above average Democrat? Please, the guy has dementia. And no, I’m not a right winger, and I obviously think Trump is a worse option. But Biden isn’t above average anything at this point. He’s barely awake.

This post made my head hurt

Since I started using Lemmy, not much. I am mostly on here now.

Thanks a lot for the tips, I will definitely try using 591 with Edge and see what I find :) How much lower than the list price do you think the rent could be negotiated to?

And another question, if you don’t mind. I have come across a few different companies which seem to specialize in acting as a middle man/real estate agent between landlords and non-Taiwanese tenants. Do you have any experience or knowledge of this type of organization? If so, do you know if they are generally worthwhile or should I not bother?

It’s definitely not worth it. Zuckerberg is the bigger fish here, at least within the social media domain. Meta’s threads replacing Twitter would make them even more powerful than they already are. I don’t like Elon, and it’s crazy that he somehow managed to make Twitter even worse than it was, but we really don’t need Meta to grow even larger.

Thanks for the update. Can you update us on whether or not you are planning to block threads.net?

Has anyone heard any comments from them on this? Reconsidering my choice of instance unless they block threads.

Can you please give us a straight answer regarding blocking threads.net? If you don’t intend to do so, there are those of us who want to know so that we can leave.
