And therefore, while you believe both are wrong, you think Powell is more correct than Trump, being you’re only separate from Powell by 1% and from Trump by 2%.

We are over restricted by 1%.
So you acknowledge that Trump's demand to reduce rates by 3% is misguided and should be ignored?

Not "cool", "cooler than expected". They were expecting an increase of 0.2% and we had an increase of 0.1%. Now, any reason to panic? Of course not. Hell, I would say not even really a reason to be concerned. But, this report does seem to bolster Powell's position that maintaining a "wait and see" approach is currently better than either a rate increase or decrease.

I wish there would be a tiny thumbnail even in portrait mobile. It’s an easy shorthand to see posters at a glance. I fricking hate when longtime posters change their avatars :lol:
re: Google sucks
Posted by Joshjrn on 7/14/25 at 1:11 pm
In his defense, I just googled on my phone that exact search and the majority of returns are in fact from Yarn, but considering my previous results on this thread, I'm thinking Yarn might just have a bit of a niche for Burbs gifs :lol:
re: Google sucks
Posted by Joshjrn on 7/14/25 at 1:08 pm
Previously on desktop. Just did a phone search for "the Burbs gif" (obviously I don't know which one you're looking for :lol:) and only got two Yarn results in the first two dozen or so. Tenor makes up the overwhelming majority of my phone results with a sprinkling of Instagram and Imgur.

whatever. i'd never heard heard of yarn.io until like 2 weeks ago when google switched all of their results to this site.
but its not a google issue, thanks for that fresh take.
Just did a google image search for "laughing gif" and I don't see any results from Yarn. This sounds like it's more due to your browsing history or the type of gif you're looking for than anything Google is doing on their end.

That’s a little different than say someone should always have a passport on them.
If he meant it that way, yeah, that’s silly. I didn’t interpret his post that way. What he said was:

And everyone should have a passport at all times.
I interpreted that as having an active passport in some capacity and that could theoretically be overnighted to you in an emergency, not necessarily having it on you.

re: Am I allowed to post my channel or is it frowned upon for self promotion?
Posted by Joshjrn on 7/12/25 at 7:29 am
It’s kind of a sliding scale: the more active the channel owner is on TD in general and on the relevant board specifically, crossed with how relevant it is to an ongoing topic. In this case, unless your friend is extremely active on TD and Gaming, posting an independent thread for their content would likely be frowned upon pretty heavily.

Of course. Sometimes took a bit of trial and error to figure out which classification they put something under, but other than that, was never an issue.

While his post is definitely over the top for a laymen, the core is accurate: if you don’t know how to use an LLM to Do X, ask said LLM “how can you help me Do X?” And it will likely give a good enough answer to start moving you in the right direction.

Sounds like your parents are enjoying life more than you are due to a more realistic expectation of personal danger moment to moment.

It's no different than having higher taxes on alcohol or cigarettes. We should tax things that ruin people at higher rates as a deterrent.
I still wouldn’t support it, but what you’re proposing would be to tax gambling winnings at higher rates than other forms of income. You still aren’t addressing that gamblers would be paying taxes even if they didn’t have any income because they lost as much as they won.

I don’t gamble at all. Whether it’s treating tipped wage earners better or gambling wage earner worse, I don’t think we should be using the tax code to pick winners and losers. But I appreciate that I’m in the vanishingly small minority on that point.

It doesn’t strike you as a bit fricky that a gambler who breaks even for the year has to pay income taxes even though they made no income?
