There was no argument. It was another one of his own comments. He said something along the lines of “you people are morons”. And that got deleted. But because he was so mad, he decided to insult me again, but in a way that wouldn’t get removed. Or maybe it would if it got reported, but I cba. It’s higher chance of him replying and further making my point this way. xD

Exactly. He went from insulting my intelligence in one word to having to use more. But it’s still the same reply in essence. Not sure what you’re trying to add here, however. Probably same as always, just posturing and pretending you’re right hoping nobody would care to check.

Yeah, it’s true that in this case most people would never have to care about that. When I replied I was thinking about inheritance taxes in general. My bad.

Seeing as how I actually watched his video and looked at their sources and other sources and only after that did I reply? Yes. And even to this day I still leave room for doubt. I still think the truth is actually somewhere in the middle. Not you, tho. You’re convinced that what you believe is correct.

Not that insane. Most people only concern themselves with their own issues. And if you’re a 40 year old whose childhood home is now worth 500k or whatever and you have to pay 200k in taxes in order to inherit it, then you probably want to vote against it because otherwise the government will take it.

Okay, take all that with a grain of salt because I’m not too familiar with inheritance law, but it’s based on multiple similar stories I’ve heard from people.

I still think it should be taxed, don’t get me wrong. But I understand why people are against it.

You’re arguing with a guy that doesn’t want to change their mind. He literally sent me a video whose sources contradicted him and guess what happened when I pointed that to him? Never bothered to reply and he still uses that video as proof that he’s right.

Haven’t seen that(or maybe I don’t remember it, although it does sound familiar), but I will say that their show was one of the most fun shows I’ve ever seen. One memorable bit(googling it now, it seems to have been a hit with many people) was that they had a sort of confetti Cannon that shot fake money. Managed to get one; pretty cool memorabilia. Especially in this day and age when physical concert tickets are rarer. I still have the ticket from my first concert(and all the other subsequent ones)

Yeah, fuck musicians for wanting to make a living… They should all have a day job or just starve like all the greats… JFC, you people are just something…

Why wouldn’t it help? Even smaller towns have cafés now where they can buy one so that’s honestly what I’d do as well. And if they have an espresso machine at home it’s almost certain that they’d prefer those to drinking instant coffee.

So yeah, seconding the aeropress. V60 is a bit more tricky to make but also cool, ofc. There’s ofc also the middle ground which is the clever dripper/hario switch.

You do realize that it’s mainly the poor people who are suffering when the rich don’t get taxed, right? It’s the governments getting robbed, yes, but that wasn’t the main takeaway from that comment.

Everything is a CIA psyop nowadays. Everything bad happens because of the USA. Everything good happens because people are strong enough to resist US influence.

Look at Cuba. Amazing government that provides free healthcare and people are super educated. And all the issues that they have are because of the US embargo. All the other issues like freedom of speech and whatnot are not actually real, just another CIA psyop.

So see? The USA is both super powerful and super weak.

The same quote is also in the guardian article.

“They dragged little Greta [Thunberg] by her hair before our eyes, beat her, and forced her to kiss the Israeli flag. They did everything imaginable to her, as a warning to others,” the Turkish activist ErsinÇelik, a participant in the Sumud flotilla, told Anadolu news agency

Gaza aid flotilla in the title. Not Greta’s flotilla. Her name is there because she’s the most well known person there, probably and also because not everyone was arrested.

It says in the article

The Global Sumud Flotilla said most of its vessels were continuing their journey as of early Thursday morning, nearing the coast of the Gaza strip despite the interruptions.

No, it doesn’t count as a gift. Even tho she screamed when she got it.

Yeah, keep replying, that’ll definitely prove that you don’t give a fuck. Also pretty telling if that’s the only point you can argue against.

“get this through your fucking head”… lmao… you’d have a bit more credibility if you weren’t wrong out of the gate about the “no name on bluesky”… and the Carano thing… and if you weren’t cursing just because people disagree with you… And if you weren’t a no name on lemmy… Thanks but… for now I’ll go with the journalist

You are right about one thing, tho, I’ll give you that. Advertisers have a lot more power than me and you. But not all of us together. Sure, getting a ton of people to agree on one thing is hard, but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t try. That’s what they want you do. To be little obedient little sheep that think they can’t do anything.

Disney has over 200k employees. Is it really that much of a stretch that one of them talked to a journalist? I’m not an accountant… haven’t ever talked to one that handles my workplace, but I still know how much money we’re making and how much other branches of the same company are making and what the drama in the other places is and so so much more… people talk… It’s that’s easy.

And even if it’s a lie… Is the 4B drop from disney also a lie? Is the fact that they promptly brought him back also a lie? The fact the first show after his return was watched by 3 times the normal amount of people? The number might be real or it might not, that’s how journalists’ sources work, but it’s accurate that the boycott worked. Even if there were only 10k people, it still had a visible effect. That’s what matters.

Well, after reading the whole thing… they have equally bad things to say about Russia and China, so I don’t think the article is written by a tankie. And even tho I disagree with their claims that Europe is sabotaging the peace talks in Ukraine (it’s obvious to most people that russia doesn’t wanna give up the land that they’ve taken and Ukraine isn’t happy to concede it either), I also can’t say for sure that they’re not. World leaders are known to be lying cunts and it wouldn’t surprise me to hear that they are indeed doing that. They probably think it’s a good thing that Russia is spending so much time and resources in Ukraine.
