Not the ones in works of fiction.

If you do it to your doll it’s masterbation.

I disagree on adding a @SuperDave. I think the addition of a @SuperDave would be intrusive for @SuperDave and we all know how busy @SuperDave has been lately. Let’s just leave @SuperDave in peace.

Ah. I misinterpreted the wording. The beholders are themselves racist. I thought it meant the fact they were in D and D was racist.

I love that everyone knew exactly what I was talking about.

I don’t think I’ve ever been in a restaurant that didn’t have ketchup. Why would they not have a readily available and cheap condiment on hand in case their customers want it?

Well it’s slightly more complex than that. Gates has pledged his fortune to go to his foundation which would inherit his MS shares and handle them as any other investment portfolio. They aren’t going to dump and kill the market; that wouldn’t be in their best interests. Foundations are not as altruistic as they seem at first. They are private companies with little to no transparency which make them a great place to stow away your fortune and do whatever you think is right with the money. Sometimes that is influencing the political process in ways that don’t suit the democratic process.

The easy way to deal with this is inheritance taxes. Capitalism is a system that provides for opportunity to become rich. Once a person is done being rich (dies) then a portion of that wealth is re-injected back to the lower economic stratum via public education, grants for college, nutrition programs, etc to hopefully produce the next person who is going to do all sorts of good thing for the economy becoming the next billionaire.

It’s being hoarded but maybe not out of greed. It has to do with purchase power. A billionaire has somewhere around 1100x the purchasing power of an average person. In order for them to participate individually at the same level relative to wealth as the average person they would have to consume impossible amounts. Say average Joe buys a special coffee for themselves every week for $4.50. In order for a billionaire to contribute as much relatively they would have to consume $257k worth of coffee in that same timeframe which isn’t really feasible. A vast majority of their fortune is idle and earning interest, making the gap even worse. Becoming a billionaire is good for the economy but being one is not.

And the rest of us get to pay for it.

Says the guy whose salary, housing, food, job training, and future college education are all paid for by everyone else’s taxes and who, when paying taxes, is actually just giving back the tax money he took.

This site would not be nearly as interesting if it weren’t for @mrscollector dropping these rollercoaster stories about her life.

At this point in American politics whichever side you don’t like somehow embodies all the negatives even if they are perpetrated by the other side.

Don’t know when it was originally made but this is at least the third time I’ve seen it on FS.

Amen

The implication is that people of southeast Asian descent have a yellow cast to their complexion. Not being able to perceive it makes it difficult for you you avoid karate fights and determine who would be a good math tutor because both of those are stereotypical of southeast Asians.
