  • Keep sliding to the right, it's been working so well thus far. Absolute insane horse shit.

  • Losers tend to find each other easily in the crowd somehow.

  • The fewer of these on the road, the better society is. Not a surprise to learn the owner is a scumbag.

  • Been hearing this claim for well over 30 years.

  • Anything power saved by hardware design improvements will be consumed by adding more transistors. You will not be seeing a power consumption decrease. Manufacturers of this hardware have been giving talks for the past two years calling for literal power plants to be build co-resident with datacenters.

  • It's not secret, people just don't care. Manufacturers publish power and cooling data on spec sheets, but because people are easily wowed by pure garbage masquerading as breakthroughs and "future", they simply ignore the costs and push ahead. Add in the fact that most "AI" startups are actual scams, and you've got a corporate incentive to pretend this isn't doing permanent damage too.

  • All scams come to an end when they run out of marks to steal from.

  • Sounds like one of those people that doesn't take a raise because it'll put them in a new tax bracket. People that don't know how the adult world works.

  • It seems like you don't own a home, so I'm not sure there's much point in continuing this conversation.

  • Seems like plenty people agree taxes should be paid. In fact so many people agree that it's a law. Your greed will never fill that void, btw.

  • Cry to someone that gives a shit. Be less greedy. I've paid my share of capital gains, you don't see me crying like a greedy little piggy about it.

  • think the capital gains tax exception

    Nope. No exceptions. You made money for doing no work, you pay taxes on that money. Plain and simple. Cap Gains tax rates are already absurdly low, so frankly anybody asking for a further reduced rate or exception is already a greedy pig not worth listening to.

  • Aww, poor them. They only had enough left over to pay fully for their next place and pocket $50k.

    There is little incentive to downsize.

    As long as you ignore property taxes and maintenance costs. Which normal people don't ignore.

  • You vastly misunderstood what I was talking about. They are greedy. They want to realize those gains and not pay taxes. Greed. This has nothing to do with anything else. They were happy to see the value go up as high as possible until they realized they need to pay their fair share. I'm angry at them for being greedy.

  • Nope. They got greedy by staying in that house for as long as possible to maximize their gains, and by then bitching about taxes.

    Try harder next time.

  • ... What's the issue?

    They paid for the next place, including fees, and still have $50k in their pocket? How greedy does someone need to be, exactly, before we consider the behavior repugnant?

  • They were empty nesters 10 and 20 years ago too most likely. They got greedy and now they don't want to pay tax on the absurd increase in value of their house?

    Cry me a river. The only feelings this should spark in anybody reading it is anger and hatred. Greedy, repulsive people.

  • The missiles at night

    Are big and bright

    Launched at the heart of Texas

    Anyway good luck being a large economy with no trade partners and ports blockaded.

  • Outside of Florida, nobody cares. Enjoy the "find out" phase. Maybe don't vote for complete pieces of garbage and you won't have insiders "worrying".
