The_Critic 02/14/22 5:42:53 PM #6 | Wasnt she banned by the US branch of the olympic committee / USADA, not the IOC? |
Topic | CE, suggest improvements to my dating profile |
The_Critic 02/02/22 4:31:43 PM #5 | Suggestions:
4 - change ask to say. 7 - keep the number of meals vague. Who knows if you might get into 5 meals a day at some point? 11 - change ask to on command. 14 - typo on Install. Quota has negative connotations, change that to minimum acceptable standards. otherwise looks good. |

Topic | Is 800 dollars a month |
The_Critic 01/12/22 11:29:16 PM #18 | Depends on what you prioritize. Id never have more than 10% of my take home on transportation. If youre making after tax and 401k more than 10k, go ahead. Remember insurance and tax as part of the transportation cost. |
Topic | Hulk Hogan going prematurely bald is one of the most important events in history |
The_Critic 01/11/22 2:07:31 AM #9 | The Lundgren led He-Man would have been Hogan if he had a full head of hair. Maybe something like Conan the Barbarian? 80s 90s action flicks would have never been the same. |

Topic | So there were times Vince McMahon participated in the wrestling? |
The_Critic 01/06/22 12:29:57 PM #18 | PuppetPalClem posted... This site is the only place in my life that Ive ever seen have a genuine wrestling fandom. I do not get it. Why do you guys watch this? I like combat sports. But more often than not, they dont give the results I want. Wrestling, being predetermined, is able to combine story telling and something that looks similar to combat sports. That being said, I havent watched WWE regularly since 2005. Im watching AEW and NJPW recently. |

The_Critic 01/06/22 12:18:43 PM #5 | http://www.profightdb.com/wrestlers/vince-mcmahon-278.html apparently hes had 62 matches. I would have guessed closer to 10. |

Topic | What would be the down side of Canceling student debt. |
The_Critic 01/05/22 5:53:20 PM #39 | kage_53 posted... People will starting asking for car loans to be canceled, mortgages to be canceledpretty much anything that has a loan really. Domino effect. Even if they dont, you do it one time, no one in the next 5 years will pay a dime on their student loans and will get us into another immediate crisis needing payment. A much better solution is the break the collective backs of colleges and universities by allowing bankruptcy to discharge debt, stop offering federally subsidized loans. it will be a painful 5 years but eventually universities will have shed enough support staff, athletics, non-learning bullshit to have an actually affordable post-secondary education. it will just look a lot more like community colleges and be less of the college experience. |

The end state 4/4 is end game valuable still but you need to own at least 3 to feel worth it. |

Topic | What would be the down side of Canceling student debt. |
The_Critic 01/05/22 2:32:42 PM #17 | It doesnt solve the problem and gives a small % of the population a massive windfall at the expense of everyone else. We will be in the exact same spot 10 years from now. |

The_Critic 01/05/22 12:29:47 PM #18 | XxKrebsxX posted... I have a perfect credit score. I dont make bad financial decisions. You bought a 2022 Altima when you already had a working 2019 Altima. Certainly not a wise financial decision. |
Topic | So, I went to get an oil change yesterday at the dealership. |
The_Critic 01/05/22 12:13:47 PM #9 | You sound like youre really bad at making financial decisions but feel like youre good at it. You traded in a car youve been making payments on for 3 years so you can pay more to keep paying for however many years it will be now. And its not even a new version of the model, 2019s and 2022s are the same car, aside from minor year over year changes. |

Topic | Capitalism can't withstand people not working for 10 days |
The_Critic 12/30/21 12:23:09 PM #41 | Umbreon posted... Our healthcare system alone is proof that capitalism is shit. You mean the same health care system that has had so much innovation it would practically be magic to people 100 years ago is shit? |
Topic | Capitalism can't withstand people not working for 10 days |
The_Critic 12/30/21 12:15:27 PM #36 | [LFAQs-redacted-quote] You have zero grasp on history if you believe capitalism is only marginally better than I guess mercantilism as what came before capitalism? Again, 200 years ago, only about 10% of people werent in abject poverty globally. Now only about 10% are in abject poverty. How is that not the most positive revolutionary change in the history of global economics? |
Topic | Capitalism can't withstand people not working for 10 days |
The_Critic 12/30/21 12:09:51 PM #28 | In 1950, 72% of the world lived in extreme poverty. In 1981 44.3% of the world was in extreme poverty. In 2015 9.6% of the world lived in extreme poverty. That last one is particularly noteworthy since a huge portion of that was from China embracing some capitalism in its communistic system. Communism is a failure and capitalism has been a run away success the last 100 years. Has there ever been a communist regime that didnt starve its people? Capitalism does get inefficient when cronyism gets embedded into the system and artificial barriers of entry to gate keep get legislated. There needs to be significant efforts to keep the playing field fair, and right now its not, but still way better than any version of communism that has ever existed. |

Topic | are OLED tvs really worth it? |
The_Critic 12/27/21 4:08:21 PM #18 | Only time it wouldnt be worth it is if you have a top tier plasma. OLED is still better than plasma, but at the high end the difference is marginal compared to upgrading from an LED. |
Topic | Tell us one of the funniest stories OR something funny that you have experienced |
The_Critic 12/27/21 12:53:24 PM #2 | This story goes back 20-25 years. I was at the grocery outlet getting snacks before heading over to a friends. There was a kid, maybe 5 or 6 that was touching everything, knocking stuff over, hanging on shelves, and his mom was getting pissed. He eventually was at this chip display that was like these large circular metal shelves that would stack like 4 high, each shelf had like 100 bags of snack sized packages chips. The kid was trying to spin one of the shelves, which kind of worked but also caused the structure to be like tilting and looking like it would fall. Then out of nowhere some 70 year old guy walks up and pushes over the display. Says to the kid shell never believe you and walks off. Chips are everywhere. Mom screams at kid, kid claims the old man did it, I walk away not wanting to get caught up in any of this. |

The_Critic 12/20/21 3:11:35 PM #21 | Tyranthraxus posted... Falling damage is stupidly inconsistent and whether or not you survive any fall, even if it's just tripping on a rock, largely depends on how much force hits your head. When I was 2 I fell out of a 3rd floor window. The day before like 12 of mulch was laid down and I landed on that. Hospital said I was completely fine, not even a bruise. obviously dont remember any of that, but its what Ive been told. |

Topic | Why didn't countries boycott the Beijing Olympics over China's uyghur genocide? |
The_Critic 12/09/21 6:11:44 PM #4 | Duncanwii posted... Because that isnt the point of the Olympics. It's supposed to be an event where countries put away their issues and come together for the spirit of competition. Boycotting them destroys the entire idea of it. If we can have an Olympics in Germany at the height of the Holocaust we can participate in China dispute their horrific misdeeds. the olympics were cancelled in 1940 and 1944 due to ww2. The Berlin olympics were 1936, pre-Holocaust. |
