Trump Accuses Amazon of Not Paying 'Internet Taxes,' Which Aren't a Thing

Unionhawk

Also people buying things on amazon do pay tax now so wtf are you talking about

I mean

Technically speaking he's not wrong but technically not wrong is the worst kind of not wrong

Also I have a full set of my name coke bottles because they have last names now so that's pretty hype

I should stop drinking coke though

Yuuki

@BlueBarren Wait, I thought the Republican platform was that companies shouldn't be taxed and in fact employees should work for free and pay any extra money they find laying around to their CEO overlords?

Unionhawk

The republican platform is companies shouldn't be taxed, well, except for tech companies, because they're usually liberal, or something

(this is not actually the republican platform that is satire)

Tim Stone

@Yuuki Yeah, his position is both stupid and contrary to what it should be

You know what else is stupid and contrary to what it should be?

BlueBarren

@Yuuki I wanted to say something about Republicans only being invested in automotive, oil & other such archaic systems of the old age but I couldn't find a witty way to say i t.

I think the best way to f@#$ over Republicans would be to abolish the USD and replace it with something else overnight and just not tell them so essentially they become the poor people they hate so much

Unionhawk

They've already prepared for that by investing in gold

They hope that if you go vote, you just base it on the fact you saw who put the most signs down.

Because doing research on mid-term electoral candidates on their previous actions and planned actions is work.

Unionhawk

@KevinvanderVelden But don't worry the democrats will do some stupid shit like "pokemon go to the polls lolololol" and they'll think they're helping but actually ugh kill me

MadMAxJr

I mean it's not like people make websites or anything to aggregate candidate info based on region.

@Unionhawk Only works in states that have open primaries.

Because it's possible in some regions to not have one at all.

Unionhawk

@MBraedley Like Ohio

Kevin van der Velden

@MadMAxJr oh yeah, the US doesn't even care to pretend it's a fair democracy =p

And by now, I've forgotten all about that band.

For a second I was about bring up why that guy from Maroon 5 is about the only exception I can think of, but I just realized that I've forgotten his name.

BlueBarren

@murgatroid99 So what's the difference between the House of Representatives and the Senate?

murgatroid99

@BlueBarren The House of Representatives has representatives from states allocated by population, and the Senate has two senators per state.

I had no idea it was a chain, i thought it was some big thing out there.

Unionhawk

100 taps is pretty cool though, I will give them that

HazyKingdom

@unionhawk ^ my wildest dreams.

OMG there's one like an hour out from where i live.

Unionhawk

100 dishes is suspect though, since that leads me to belive that it is likely that there is no one dish that is Exceptional

Like, you can pawn off responsibility to keep 100 taps going to like, three dozen breweries

But you can't really do that with food

HazyKingdom

7:35 PM

Yeah, the meal that I had was about average. Crab cakes.

Exactly, you only need a 100 types of beer for 100 taps. You need way more ingredients than that for 100 dishes.

Unionhawk

Personally I usually prefer straight from the source if I'm looking for craft taps specifically

Yuuki

@Ash Have you read/followed a fanfiction that's so massive and yet releases so sporadically that every new update makes you feel like you need to read the whole thing over again just to understand what's going on but A) it's so big that you don't really want to re-read that much and B) you suspect that re-reading won't actually help?

Unionhawk

32 taps is sufficient for pretty much anything ever

alternatively there's rhinegeist which I think has a 32 tap bar and 2 16 tap bars or something

maybe 3 16 taps

idk

murgatroid99

@Yuuki Homestuck felt like that sometimes

I agree, some games just make vehicles tanks and it really breaks the balance. Probably the thing I hate most in PUBG is getting one shot by a sniper (aka hacker) while going full speed. Might be nice to do some sort of damage reduction somehow.

MadMAxJr

@Yuuki That is like a comment on a question, "I know the rules say to not ask a question like X but this is totally not X, X is not what I want, so I actually want Y, but you'll say that's not a valid question, but I'm not being that guy.

Diana might have more character development than Steve, but Steve's arc through the movie makes a bit more sense.

Like I'm not sure the third act in Wonder Woman works well with the theme of the movie.

Or at least I don't think it works well with Diana's intended character arc.

Trent Hawkins

@HazyKingdom There's also a slight 'problem' in city areas with many gyms (and raids)... is that you really only get one shot at a raid per day (unless you spend money); so if all the other players already spent their passes for the day, there's no one to help you with a raid. Or if you got to the raid late, no-one else who previously beat the raid can help you (even for a no-rewards)...

Huh. Google removed the ability to pin thumbnails on the 'Most Visited' new tab page?

@murgatroid99 @Beedrill but why

Beedrill

I didn't even know that was ever a thing. All the sites I need to use are there already.

You could just pin a tab to chrome itself?

Yuuki

No, when you open a new tab, there's a landing page that has eight thumbnails that are supposed to represent either sites you visit a lot or think are important.

Beedrill

@Yuuki Yes, I know what you meant.

I didn't know you could pin stuff there, though.

It usually does a good job of having the sites I'm most likely to go to.

Yuuki

You used to.

Not anymore, it seems.

Beedrill

But you can pin tabs which might help alleviate that loss.

If you relied on it.

Yeah, but sometimes I preferred to have sites that I have use for but visit less often.

Granted, bookmarks does the same thing.

But still.

I don't understand the reasoning behind removing that feature.

Beedrill

I use the bookmarks toolbar but I remove the name of each bookmark, so all I see is the favicon.

It lets me have a lot of identifiable bookmarks in a small space.

Unionhawk

That feature was removed in like, chrome 35 or something

Like an entire year ago

Beedrill

Looks like that.

I should clear out some stuff actually.

Yuuki

@Unionhawk Still wondering why they removed it.

GodEmperorDune

@Yuuki not worth maintaining it, i suppose

Yuuki

Hmm... I guess. I wonder how much work went into maintaining it?

murgatroid99

In many cases like that, there isn't necessarily an ongoing maintenance cost, but maybe someone discovers that it's broken in an important way for some set of users. And maybe they can't justify the cost of fixing however it's broken, but they don't want to leave a broken feature, so they remove it.

Tim Stone

@Beedrill Which is incidentally the default behaviour if you just drag something into that bar on the new tab page

When you're digging at a frozen lake to expose methane and plan to immediately light it on fire to demonstrate that it's methane, maybe don't dig at an angle that points directly at your face.
