How does that change anything? He still won the election.

How old do you think computer Tech's are? There's been programmers since the 60s on punch cards. There's totally careers worth of work there.

That doesn't make it not a tax. It makes it not an income tax.

Sorry auto correct got the best ofe there. Just what a tax is.

Its just a charge levied by the government. You think taxes are only income taxes, but thats just one type of tax.

In the same way tarrifs are also taxes, so would be making an employer pay for govermenet benifit, would also be a tax.

Just because you didn't intend to disrespect someone, doesnt mean you didn't. Impact over intent every time. Its a shitty thing to do. So someone should kiss your ass and hold your hand through misgendering someone?

Your personal gripes about they are frankly just your opinion on them, and I'm not givibg it more weight that that.

Like I said in a different reply,

This is people asking for the respect and thought to you know, check a profile before you speak. No one here got offended, it was called out as a dick move, as it should have been.

If you don't see that as basic respect, thats part of the problem.

EDIT: it's the same level of respect as spelling someone's name correctly.

Its kinda shitty thing to do. Mistakes happen, but it says a lot when people dig their heels in.

I don't think you understand what a century tax is. Because thats what that is.

I happened to pick up in the article the neutral pronoun and have avoided it, but to accuse a pretty casual use of a prounoun as being a shitty thing to do is.. a shitty thing to do.

Why should misgendering be treated with more respect than the respect given?

Incidentally, I hate the plural pronoun as the stand in for unspecified. Especially when talking about a company versus an individual, it is useful to use the plural to refer to company and a singular for the individual. Otherwise it's a vague mess. It's so confusing when folks are using plural to refer to singular people.

Sorry but they has always been both singular and plural.

'Can you flag the waiter when they're not busy?' Has always been grammatically correct. Its always been the 'I'm not sure option'. You don't say he/she when you don't know how to refer to someone, you use they.

If they're not paying enough, why are we subsidising them? Why are they still benifical?

Do you think if Walmart had to pay all of the food stamp costs of their employees, do you think Walmart would dissapear and replaced by nothing?

I also encourage you to look up how much federal tax Amazon pays

No, I don't want fake ally's.

Were not a pymarid scheme. Were people asking for basic respect.

And if you see that as a problem, not only were you never an ally, your actively part of the problem.

Sorry, but if your allyship is so fragile that someone being a dick online can wiaver it, you were never an ally.

Same statement. They don't pay corporate tax either.

 

So I’m looking to spend money on a new TV and audio setup.

I have two bedrooms, a living room, kitchen, an office, and two bathrooms that I’d like to fit with speakers. I do rent so I do need wireless.

For the TV in the living room and one bedroom I want a sound bar, but am planning for bookshelf style speakers for the rest of the rooms. I live in apartment building so I want to avoid a subwoofer. There’s decent sound proofing though, and I don’t plan on cranking the volume for any of these.

I want to be able to combine any rooms with each other and play music from any tv or Spotify.

Im currently looking at Sonos systems, but want to consider something more self hosted.

I wouldn’t know where to start looking for good systems. I imagine music assistant would handle the logic of what I need, but no clue on speakers and amplifiers.

Any ideas?
