To expand your analogy to the house on how the rich used their unrealised gains.
You buy a house and it appreciates in value. You bowwow money against the capital gains and use that to live on. Your house price goes up further, generating more capital gains that you can now bowwow against to pay back your previous loan.
edit: also since you're so filthy rich the banks give you really low interest rates, way less than tax would have been.
Yepp, at some point at some time someone in USA has eaten a dog or a cat. But do Haitians regularly steal other people's pets and eat them? Very unlikely.
If I were to speculate...
- There are people in some countries that eat dogs and cats.
- Someone's neighbour's sister friend said they saw someone with a dead cat with the intent to eat it.
Therefore immigrants are regularly stealing other people's pets and are eating them.
We can extrapolate this with anything.
- There are people that poop their pants.
- There are reports of Trump wearing diapers and smelling liken poop.
I think ww can draw our own conclusion about this one...
Could you spell out what conclusions you take from that?
The constitution was made to be amended to adapt with the times. Time to amend the 2nd amendment and require a valid reason such as hunting for having a firearm.
What you observes could be OS depended,. Vim has its own copy paste buffers (y,p etc) and the OS has its own. Traditionally highligh to copy and middle mouse button to paste on Unix. Windows has 2 methods, ctrl-c,v but those are also bindings in vim so only the older less known crtl-insert,shirt-insert works.
Copy paste is definitely built in, there is no need for extra plugins.
You mean you couldn't copy some text from vim and paste it into another application? if yes, what did you have to install/configure for that? I've never had any issues copy paste from/to vim, console/GUI windows/Unix.
As far as I understood the article, it is taxing unrealised capital gains, but you have to be very rich and have a substantial portion of your wealth in unrealised capital gains. It feels targeted as people like Elon Musk.
Wow, what a charismatic guy, that wasn't painful to watch at all...
No problem with ID for voting, just have to make sure they're accessible by all at no cost (both time and monetary).
Republicans proposals for voter ID so far have been riddled with ID exclusions that, while never admitted to, would exclude a large part of the population that they don't want to be allowed to vote. Either include more types of ID or make sure to provide everyone with a voter id for free before the election.
today I learnt that sky news UK is very different to sky news Australia.

The creator says that they use the mediabiasfactcheck.com's API and looking at their page it doesn't seem like that info is readily available but maybe they will take a feature request to try to add that info.

The bot seems to use the medibiasfactcheck.com's API which should report 'mixed' factual reporting with extreme right bias.

seems like there is more data available, the bot could report the MBFC Credibility Rating as well.

edit2: I was looking for a fox rating by that bot, I wasn't able to find one "in the wild" but it seems like it does use the MBFC rating for the heading and does indeed classify fox as "Low"
Example from what I guess is the guys development teating posts: https://lemmy.world/post/18064796
People who downvote instead of (or as well as) blocking it. Why the downvotes? You don't want to see a bias/factual rating of the source or you don't agree with the rating?
I put on my sony wh-1000xm5's to get as clear audio as I could. The first few chants could be interpreted as "lock him up" but it quickly turned to a clear "Ka-ma-la" once the cheering and clapping reduced.
At 8:34 there was a single clear "lock him up" after Harris mentioned Trump's recent conviction.
So that's settled now, I they weren't chanting "lock him up"

It might not but since you effectively have a binary choice, which Israeli policy do you prefer, Bidens or Trump.
if it's really a tie, then start looking at the other policies to see which is the lesser of the two evils.
And you're not trying to deflect from your original argument you were making.
A text book definition of a word vs what people behind a political party in a specific country are very different things.
I stand by what I've said, American conservatives tend to assume that American liberals do what a conservative would have done. In this case be unable to be impartial and make decisions based on their own ideology.
An American liberal is more likely to be able to be impartial than a conservative.
Have a good life.
I am definitely saying the liberals are more likely to be impartial.
liberals tend to favour fairness of outcome, not the conservative fairness of opportunity. Hence they are better able to better put themselves in other people's shoes and go against their core beliefs (ideology) if that means a failed outcome for other people.
