Real question, are there any instances of someone's research being so niche that the only option is to cite themselves?

The appropriate response when a fascist makes a good point is to tell them to fuck off, because they're going to twist that to fit their bullshit.

Nothing. He's banking his win on core supporters only, hoping Harris fumbles in the days leading up, and planning another coup. He's just detailing the culture war stuff.

By the nature of ETFs, you're definitely going to make less income because your money gets put into an investment pool and returns are proportional. However it makes you less tied to the stock market, which is increasingly tied to a person's ability to retire

Well, both of us are socialists (I can't comment on the other person). We think about money in such a different way that any money joke about investment is going to lose it's humor. I don't understand it as a joke either, but I definitely understood the financial advice. He selected some large, relatively uncontroversial companies that will pay you part of the quarterly profits based on the number of stocks you own. Tbh I'd avoid the day trading and choose high dividend ETFs instead. $100k is still very out of reach for most people, but it's a reasonable investing portfolio.

And the dude said it to a native American whose tribe has been in the region for millennia. He's not even a native to the state.

Right, I'm not denying that. People have always been smart. The problem that calculus solved was the intensely difficult algebra that it replaced

[–] rockSlayer@lemmy.world 65 points 2 days ago (3 children)

The joke is that calculus as a field of mathematics didn't exist until millennia after the fall of the empire

Because the faces have no consistency lmao, pain rated at 5 shouldn't look happier than rank 1

Probably, but it's a hardware store. I don't know about the habits of folks outside of my little corner of the Midwest, but very few people return things to them anyways

Watch out for that 11% rebate

Edit: sometimes I forget that Menards is a Midwest thing. Their big advertising thing is that you can mail your receipt to receive 11% of the bill back

British people were forced to abandon their rock piles and most of history since has been about them making it everyone's problem

Company could endure biggest US strike of 2024 as unions accuse it of intimidation during contract negotiations

Disney could face the largest strike in the US this year after it was announced that thousands of theme park and hotel workers in California will vote on whether to stage a walkout.

Three trade unions representing 14,000 “cast members” at Disneyland, Disney California Adventure, Downtown Disney and the Disney hotels announced an unfair labor practice strike vote would be held next week amid negotiations over a new union contract.

In a critical statement, union leaders accused Disney of “unlawful discipline and intimidation and surveillance” of union members. The entertainment giant did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
