How big is your media library?
Are you not “moving the goalposts” by focusing solely on me making fun of your language and the definition of the phrase instead of the original discussion? You are dismissing my claims and demanding I talk about how smart you tried to make yourself sound.
Do you need the definition provided again? I'm responding to the insult you started your last reply with. I addressed the parts that I had something to say about. I don't really care what your opinion on the moon landing is. Certainly not enough to argue with you about it; just your garbage question.
And the reason I pointed out your language is because it sounds so different than your first comment that it’s obvious that you took it from somewhere else
My first post which was a quote and two links? I'm sorry you struggle to use longer words but not everybody does.
(you literally copy/pasted Wikipedia’s definition of “moving the goalposts” you aren’t slick lol)
I did. Do you get mad when people provide a definition from a Dictionary too?
Why not switch to a different platform? The screenshot in the post looks like eBay and I'm pretty sure you can disable the offers option there.
Bro it doesn’t make you sound smart to use words like “fallacy” and “tacitly” 💔
I'm sorry I have a vocabulary? You should let people know you struggle with big words.
I don’t need “moving the goalpost” defined to me.
You clearly do since you didn't recognize when you did it.
Trooper Steve was asked by a viewer named Lisa, “Are turn signals required in Florida? I see them not being used all the time -- and never being enforced.”
Trooper Steve started by saying that the answer to first part is plain and simple.
“You are required to use your turn signal anytime you are changing direction in your vehicle,” he said. “Florida Statue 316.155 talks very specifically about when you are supposed to indicate a turn or change of lane.”
I don’t see how I could’ve “moved the goalpost” any more than you are doing right now.
This right here is moving the goalpost:
I also struggle to see how the scientific achievements required going to the moon (Besides learning about earth/moon origin). The other achievements like wireless tools and head seats did not require a moon landing.
Where in my comment that consisted of quoting your question and providing two links that answer that question did I address any of this?
Moving the goalposts is an informal fallacy in which evidence presented in response to a specific claim is dismissed (the links provided to address the specific quotation from you) and some other (often greater) evidence is demanded ("how the scientific achievements required going to the moon").
Who’s to say the technology would’ve been made w/out the moon landing?
I assume you meant wouldn't have been made without the moon landing? Either way, this is tacitly acknowledges the technological improvements made as a result which would be "good for the average man".
See how this is a pointless argument we’re both making?
I'm not arguing with you. You asked the question and I provided links with answers to counter the allusion you were attempting to make that it didn't do "the average man" any good.
As I already stated, what you seem to want to debate is whether it should have happened and your about 60 years late for that discussion. I have no interest in arguing that with you or anyone because it happened and that's not going to change.
And btw the first question isn’t an argument or my main idea. It’s a question added for emphasis.
Yea, and it's a poor question, which is why I addressed it specifically. The moon landing and the space race leading up to it led to numerous advances and improvements for everyone, including "the average man" (sexist language by the way).
Using that question for emphasis is disingenuous and attempts to minimize all of the advancement that occurred as a byproduct.
Here's a thought, maybe instead of blindly following the original commenters idea and repeatedly posting the same thing, refine the idea to account for people the "fringe" case mentioned?
Maybe, in addition to the multiple house ownership and residence status conditions add one that factors in income/earnings (including any capital gains) and if you exceed a threshold then additional home taxes apply?
Maybe scale the additional taxes based on income/earnings so everyone is taxed but done so appropriately for their situation?
Or maybe adopt a system like some other countries have where the first house you own isn't taxed but additional homes are, then adjust other taxes in accordance? Under this system 5 families sharing a hunting cabin is not only easier for them but more economic and efficient than five families owning five separate cabins.
You'll never please everybody but laws and regulations should take into account all those they effect and serve the greatest number reasonably possible.
Both of those focus on political and cultural achievements, which in my opinion, do not help the average man. They were achievements in propaganda and leave out a large part of our population.
Might want to work on your reading comprehension.
Technology developed during the Apollo Mission has made everyday life easier – and safer.
That's the first paragraph from a section on one of those links that's about technological advances.
I also struggle to see how the scientific achievements required going to the moon (Besides learning about earth/moon origin). The other achievements like wireless tools and head seats did not require a moon landing.
Maybe not, but that wasn't the question you posed, it's where you moved the goalpost to. The US went to the moon, that happened already; but there were any number of achievements that resulted in life improvements for everyone while it happened.
What you seem to want to debate is whether it should have happened and your about 60 years late for that discussion.
Wow! You're wrong again!
No person may turn a vehicle from a direct course or move right or left upon a highway unless and until such movement can be made with reasonable safety, and then only after giving an appropriate signal in the manner hereinafter provided
Even in your nonsense "direct course" argument "no person may turn a vehicle from a direct course" until such movement can be made with reasonable safety, and then only after giving an appropriate signal.
That literally means you have to signal when turning from a direct course. The last part, "in the manner hereinafter provided" is inclusive. It means every one of those clauses applies.
You are a great example of why people should be retested regularly.
Stupidity?
If you're already stupid and you get asked the question, and then don't even bother to give it due consideration, it's entirely plausible you just blurt out a number.
It does also say these are averages so it'd be interesting to see a scatter plot of all respondents.
Yes please!🙏
Just looked through our past few menus. We only eat beef once a week by nature it seems.
I've never had cancer but I did have liver and kidney failure and worked 3 days a week while on dialysis.
Why? Because I needed the money (medical care is expensive) and FMLA and disability only last so long.
The take in the LinkedIn post is absolutely batty.
Guess I won't have to see any of your unsupported, emotional nonsense in my feed.
I know the answer now, it's an arbitrary idea you pulled from nowhere.
I thought a short response was what you wanted but it seems you just don't want to overtly state your premise is arbitrary.
I do have another question. Is your ego so fragile that you have to accuse others of the things you do when questioned?
You accused me of a strawman and then engaged in it yourself. You accused me of being aggressive for asking questions to understand what reasoning you used to arrive at your premise but then engaged in personal attacks. You repeatedly engaged in deflection. You might want to work on your mental maturity.
I'd fully support your idea if it was practical and data supported at all but it's clearly not. Pointing that out seems to upset you.
The joke is on me for assuming you actually had sound reasoning based on information that would be new to me rather than just your feelings.
I'm not going to read your essay.
I'll just assume it's arbitrary and pulled out of your ass since you keep deflecting instead of answering questions.
Is your idea for a written and practical test every 10 years supported by any data or is it arbitrary?
Edit: tl;dr it's arbitrary

Deflection is a defense mechanism characterized by redirecting a conversation away from a challenging topic or issue to something less emotionally charged. It can manifest in various ways, such as changing the subject, asking a question, making a joke, or even becoming defensive or aggressive.
2.71Tb/515 series for TV, 6.28Tb/1176 titles in Movies.
Almost everything in MKV because that's what I prefer.
I use Plex so it's organized according to their requirements.
Everything is stored with a redundant backup on a Synology NAS with 6/9 HDD bays filled, totaling 48Tb in total storage space.
I run two servers (one on the Synology, one on a NUC-type Asus box) along with all my other systems.
Oh, and I have dual antenna tuners connected as well for live TV, DVR and playback.
