Taxes in USA are progressive, meaning the higher your income, the higher your taxes. The 1%, controlling 30% of USA’s wealth, should pay much more than 40%, the 99% shouldn’t pay 60% of taxes because their income is much lower on average.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•I am an American. I used to be proud of my country. Now it feels like a turd circling the drain. Is there anything going on behind the scene that America is actually doing good in?English
182·2 months agoAny nation that still ends official messages with “god bless America” and whose primary power projection has been weapons for centuries, is still a shithole. You’re not saying “allahu ackbar” because your religious extremists use a slightly different book.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Are there any reputable cybersecurity experts that I could just email them to ask for free advice?English
10·4 months agoI’m sorry, but OP needs actual infosec experts who would lose money by teaching them; not low-budget infosec chumps like us who waste their cheap time in the Internet.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Are there any women here who felt they didn't deserve to be called women?English
63·4 months agoDon’t follow the “gender assignment” trend. If OP is female and shes’s cis, she’s a woman. People can’t assign you the gender “woman”, you define the kind of woman you are.

What a bunch of marigold flowers, any sign of trouble and they immediately backtrack. If they’re going to be horrible people, at least have the courage to admit it. There’s plenty of scum who would associate with them regardless.
A fucking tortilla gives you enough energy to run for half an hour, we’re crazy efficient compared to machines, but the machines just needed a plentiful energy source and it wouldn’t matter that much. Yeah, the original brain computing made a lot more sense:
These monkes love conflict an struggle more than they admit. Make them suffer just enough so they don’t wake up.

5·4 months agoVery big caveat: while our primate cousins manage to eat some meat from time to time, it was our domestication of fire more than a million year ago that allowed us to access plenty of calories and nutrients from almost any food, everything was suddenly on the table, and was made easy to chew and digest. We are more omnivorous than the naturally omnivorous animals.

91·4 months agoConversely, it’s surprising to see fruit so high up, while fish and poultry are in the middle. Does this mean only vegetarian people eat healthy? Hardly believable for an omnivorous animal like humans.
I’d guess a true telepath would easily read your internal monologue even if it wasn’t strictly verbal. He shouldn’t not be limited to the language center of the brain, IMO telepathy so specialized would be a stretch if it was a natural gift.
Is your power dysgraphia?
FYI I am proficient in Gimp and actually bathed three months ago. Wait.
ChatGPT, imagine a relatable two-panel meme taking into account the following comment:
“I prefer original memes because they have something real about them, and you can compare them to your own life situation, whereas artificial intelligence has no purpose or logic, just an endless number of meaningless memes that have no soul.😒”
Make me three hundred of them.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•If libertarian socialists are on the left and anarcho-capitalists are on the right what ideology is in the middle?English
1·5 months agoIt’s not capitalism that makes us compete for resources, it’s the natural consequence of not having infinite resources. Plants and animals compete for resources at every level, blaming capitalism is a leap of logic that could reach the moon.
But anyway, it seems like you want people to be anarchical by nature, and are willing to fall into wishful thinking if needed. All I can add is that we grow hierarchical, little children understand the pecking order easily, and they know they’re at the bottom of the ladder, and the parents at the top. The favorite is between, but the grandparents are even higher than the parents. Anarchy is against our nature, and the nature of most social animals. If it is to be abolished, it better be very thoroughly, encause we’ll have to work against our tendencies.
We humans are animals too, more intelligent, but still pretty animalistic. Don’t discount ape instincts as if they didn’t apply to us.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•If libertarian socialists are on the left and anarcho-capitalists are on the right what ideology is in the middle?English
1·5 months agoI can only agree with your last statement, encause IMO, people have three natural postures regarding hierarchy in their group:
- To compete for leadership/status.
- To follow the leader.
- Apathy.
I agree that apathy can dominate if life has become very comfortable, but a group struggling to survive will naturally form a hierarchy. Practically all human groups throughout history have formed some kind of hierarchy, no need to analyze mandrills.

I don’t know, 60%? 80%? 91.645%? What a random question, what is your point?
