On the income scale, if you made minimum wage (which equates to $7.25 an hour or $15,080 a year), you would already be in the top 10% of global income. In fact, you’d be in the top 7.8% of income earners worldwide.
If you make $50,000 per year, you would be in the top 0.31% of the world’s population in terms of earning income. Earning just $50,000 per year puts us in the top 1% of the world’s population.
This is by income, not wealth though. It still illustrates how low the bar is.
Drugs will kill ya faster than fat
This is just plain false. The health benefits of not being overweight far outweigh any potential negative effects of the drug itself. GLP-1 receptor agonists have been used to treat type 2 diabetes for decades - we're quite familiar with their risks.
Losing weight is almost entirely about diet. Exercise plays only a minimal role in that. It’s far easier to not eat something than to burn off those same calories through working out. That’s not to say exercise isn’t important - it is - but you do it for reasons other than weight loss.
Zip tying their hands behind their back and handing them over to the police, I guess.
"Hey, I was going through you profile and thought you seemed interesting so I was wondering if you'd like to grab a cup of coffee someday" or something along those lines. Still together 8 years later.
Most of my tools could - just a matter of how many swings it would take. Running them over with my work truck would probably be the quickest and chainsaw the messiest.
The fact that I work in the trades, not an office job, is one of the main reasons I haven’t had to move to the capital for work. All my friends had to relocate because they couldn’t find jobs in our hometown - now they’re renting and living paycheck to paycheck on salaries higher than mine, while I’m the only one who owns a house.
Lets also not forget that Southern Poverty Law Center no longer is the highly regarded organization it once were. They've been labeling people such as Ayaan Hirsi Ali as anti-muslim extremists for example.
With the Hubble Deep Field, they pointed the telescope at a seemingly empty patch of night sky - and it turned out to be filled with distant galaxies. Also, light traveling from far enough away gets redshifted into the infrared range, which means it can no longer be seen by the human eye.
I think it was Peter Zeihan who speculated that one of the reasons Putin hasn’t resorted to using nukes is because he knows that we know exactly where he is at all times - and that any retaliatory strike would target him personally. It wouldn’t even necessarily have to be a nuclear strike. In that sense, even a single nuke would be enough - as a deterrent, if you even need that one.
I'm not a troll - I'm a provocateur. There's a subtle difference.
I know it’s meant to not be about small businesses, but it also doesn’t explicitly say that. Like I mentioned in another comment, I’ve similarly asked people whether “ACAB” actually refers to literally all cops or if there are exceptions, and the answers I’ve gotten have been pretty clear: no exceptions. So forgive me for not extending a charitable interpretation to other sweeping generalizations I see here.
People here are quite openly advocating for CEOs, billionaires, rich people, or even conservatives to be "Luigi'd" and it's honestly rare to see anyone caveat those statements by clarifying which ones they're actually talking about.
Seems about the kind of activity people tend to do in parks.
Unless you're causing harm to other people, what someone might think is rarely a good reason to not do something you genuinely want to.
