I didn't violate the guidelines. It seems clear what their intent was and I added information to the conversation. I could still be wrong. To me, if he was trying to usefully inform other readers he would have commented on why his/

I am aware and that is what I am pointing out, but he's said this multiple times in a way that insinuates everyone who owns a gun is doing it for racist reasons.

You're saying this like it is an accurate portrayal of the entire modern positive sentiment towards guns. The honest truth of it is a lot of people just really do not like the government.

Respect for the law is already dead, but I'm sure no personal responsibility in this case would make it worse.

Your employer doesn't need to lie, you need to not get audited. Even if both you and your employer lie they will have cash flow discrepancies. As I mentioned, there are more defensible reasons for only having one party lie, like avoidi

No, they can just not withhold your tax obligation. Mandatory withholding is not even the norm -- KS and MO don't require it, it seems only Eastern seaboard states and maybe CA do. People keep walking this back to massive fraud but mor

This $25/$26 figure was what was being quoted >5 years ago. It's more now. The comparison comes from (iirc) purchasing power parity based on the minimum wage when it was first established.

They are. The Intel segmentation was too restrictive. AMD started offering "server" grade features on desktop parts.

Opponents to cryptocurrency are a very vocal "think of the children" minority as far as I can tell. In the US there seems to be broad interest mostly gated by technical difficulties. As noted many times here, anonymous crypto is o

For salary or wage payments, kind of. If you received your normal wages in XMR then the government would have a hard time proving anything illegal is happening, even if both your employer and you are breaking the law.

The video was posted elsewhere I think. Basically, if you view enough of the residual ring inputs you can link them together. This is not quite practical yet but assuming wide adoption of XMR chain stores, etc, would be able to do this atta

The most promising? What do you mean? BTC and XMR already work and don't have the downsides of Taler. Usability could be improved for those, yes. Outside transparency is not a benefit. Most people I've talked to about crypto don&#

That would be amazingly unpopular. See the yellow jacket protests in France: relatively more affluent Parisians tried to tell the country gas was going to be taxed, but everyone outside of Paris needed gas to go about their life.

If true this is even bigger, as it indicates new directions to look for cures. No longer stuck on plaques; it may be metabolic, respiratory, or pulmonary. This could be more direct evidence of it.

I think this is incomplete. In every case so far a reduction of infant mortality and improved quality of life are coupled with power structures that increase the amount of productive output that is captured by a family, increasing the relat

Not really. People consume what is produced. You can see this bias in news and print media and its effect on propaganda, but it really applies to all items produced. It's a popular retort to "just don't buy Apple" in the

Jet fuel is carcinogenic and causes other problems, I didn't say this was just about lead. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/973128/ as an example.

There's a definite bias against people who are outside of a company's area. It might just be that they look at and hire from the local candidate pool first, or it might be something else. If you live in the middle of nowhere it is
