Fister Roboto posted:Really? I thought it was incredibly obvious. If they had intended the white woman to be the good guy here, they would have drawn the black woman with at least five different racist tropes. Is this a side effect of goon face blindness? I didn’t know anything about the comic or author’s style, and I have been Poed too many times to trust my ability to analyze American political commentary on the first pass. Possibly some cognitive defect, sure.

HiroProtagonist posted:cis is literally a chemistry term, also. it just means one side of an isomeric molecule. hence, "beat him with a chemistry textbook" because cisgender came from the organic chemistry context as far as the prefix is concerned. I thought chemistry and gender uses both just came from the Latin “cis-“ prefix meaning “on same side” with an opposite of “trans-“ meaning on other side, like “cisalpine” did as well. I hadn’t heard that the gender usage had been informed by chemistry terminology at all. Where did you encounter that? E: oh, there were more posts transpagebreak

TheMostFrench posted:My understanding in dealing with people who have high income is that donations are one method to ensure you stay below certain tax thresholds; then claimed as a tax deduction. E.g - earned $100k this year? You might go into the 'high earner' threshold and have to pay a higher percentage of income tax than someone who was in the medium threshold, but if you donate a large portion of your income - enough to keep you below that threshold - you pay less income tax. This is not how tax brackets work. Unless there is outright fraud, donations to an arms-length charity can never leave you with more money in your pocket than not donating it, or if you have a greater than 100% marginal tax rate (which I don’t think is the case anywhere in the world, not that it’s necessarily a terrible idea).

Ruffian Price posted:It is baffling that makers of those ridiculously overpriced clothes still rush to save fractions of a cent on production. Why even care at that price point when you're barely improving margins? I think it's caused by a couple of things, based on some discussions I had with people adjacent to the space: - the production lines are set up with certain suppliers and techniques, and changing them to be higher quality can involve a lot more cost and delay than just the increase in materials or slight additional time to produce - the person who is responsible for managing to a budget for production is often very far from the person who "gets" the money from sales, organizationally, and may have fixed budget elements for components of production independent of the item, except for the elements that are "supposed to" be invested in I have no way to actually evaluate whether any of that is accurate, but the fashion-production-adjacent people I talked with left me with that impression, many moons ago

Johnson is head of government, Elizabeth II is head of state for the UK.

Veni Vidi Ameche! posted:My inclination is to assume someone whining about the number of counties like that person was is being disingenuous, but I suppose they could also be sincerely confused about the difference between physical bigness and population bigness. In the case of county-counting, it could easily be by analogy with the US Senate, which counts political divisions rather than population or land area.

The Moon Monster posted:Am I missing something or is this guy boasting that he's kind of a big deal and claiming to personally owning a cool $32k as evidence of that? If your family is worth $134M and your savings as an adult is $32K, then you are not very close to the financial centre of gravity of your family’s enterprises. (Nobody whose immediate family is worth that much would say “$134M” either; that level of precision is for smaller holdings and celebrity-tracking sites.)

Aramoro posted:The game doesn't force you to be complicit in the situation. I'm not sure where the idea there are mandatory cop missions came from, but they're not in the game. Yeah, it’s easier if you get the rewards for going along with the oppressive system, but when isn’t that the case? There’s an item you can get early on the game whose description is basically “you can say anything in Japanese and it sounds fancy”. They knew what they were doing when they pulled the thread of Cyberpunk 2020’s exotic-and-dominant-Japan framing through to 2077. V mocking Jackie’s provincial food tastes near the opening is just another piece of that.
