Lmao alright gotcha you're just not arguing in good faith then.
You're just stating an opinion and presenting it as an inarguable fact lol

Nah what I'm saying is that most states' taxation rates are pretty close to what you'd get in other developed countries.
Except pretty much every other developed country has cheap healthcare and education. The US is truly alone in this, and it shows, because the US also has some of the worst inequalities of the modern world.
For now, I'm wondering what the Habs are doing exactly.
The Edmundston deal gives them 3.5M of cap space to play with, which seems to me like they're trying to sign someone, but which FA are they targeting?
Lmao yeah, I'm about the same rating as the author (1300 on lichess), for the same reasons (don't care for studying a game) and I highly doubt I could win a game against a 2200 rated master even if I played them 500 times lol, no chance.
Also worth considering that Stockfish is as good as the computing power you give it. A browser based Stockfish 14 is not the same as Stockfish 14 on a supercomputer.
I don't think there are odds that would let me win against 3500 ELO full blown Stockfish. It could probably beat me with like 4 pawns and a king lol
TBH the temperature humans can stand is easy in metric too. 10-30 is livable. 30-40 is getting real fucking hot. 0-10 is cold but you can cope with a little clothing
-30 to 0, though, you're gonna need special winter clothes and shit. I would not consider 0F (~ -17C) to be the limit of what we can stand, and I'm Canadian.
IMO, the only logical part of the American date system is that it's the same way you would say it (July 1st 2023).
Since English is my second language, though, and in French you would say 1er Juillet 2023, it still fucks me up anytime a date is like 10/10/2023.
A lot of the beliefs surrounding this issue are decade old lies that have been repeated so often that they've become the "truth".
Best example is the classic rhetoric of public bathrooms.
You might have heard that "Trans people just want to rape little girls in public bathrooms".
The fact is, the only instance of a trans person ever raping someone in a bathroom I could find was at a women's prison. Prison bathrooms have a certain reputation regarding rape, so let's leave it at that.
Meanwhile, trans people are 4 times more likely to be victims of rape than the general population, and I was able to find multiple instances of trans people getting raped in bathrooms by cis people. Let that sink in for a moment.
Getting people to realize these old lies are just that, old shitty lies, has given me some amount of success in educating people in real-life debates.
Biden just said how he's against that because that would be politicizing the supreme court.
Thing is, you can't win by playing by the rules when your opponent is constantly cheating.
The supreme court has clearly ALREADY become politicized, it can't get that much worse than rich white guys buying a black justice to do their bidding, now can it?
Which is so fucked. The supreme court shouldn't "lean" one way or another. They should interpret the laws and constitution and consider the merits of the letter vs the intent of the law, not give their own opinion on the matter.
I remember here in Canada, back in the days of Harper, just how many times conservative appointed judges struck down conservative laws because they were unconstitutional.
Whether they personally believe this or that shouldn't even matter at all.
It gives an air of legitimacy to those thoughts.
Those people are LOUD but they aren't nearly as numerous as we, or they, think.
Most people, by and large, just want to do their little thing and want to be nice to others, and want others to be nice to them. Most people don't care that their neighbors are a black gay couple, as long as they're nice.
When we let 10 people who post a 100 racist memes a day drown out the 100 regular people who post 10 times a day gives everyone the impression there is more racism than there really is, which breeds more racism, and drives out regular people who don't want to be on a racist platform.
(Using racism here as a stand-in for whatever form of bigotry you feel passionate about)
They love to tell us about how hard they had it because they worked 2 jobs to buy their first house at 22 lmao
Billionaire is already a slur.
No one makes that much money without screwing over and abusing other people. There are no ethical billionaires.
