I'm disengaging.

Curious, as the person who you were originally responding to deleted their comment. Is that per year or a one time expenditure?

Also, 36k is still literally 44-80% higher than your initial claim.

Omg this is the most redditor argument I've seen off reddit. No one likes a pedant.

Also, they do state they would pay off their mortgage, so not only are you a pedant but also a wrong one at that.

If you started with $100M, you definitely could buy yourself a house and car before donating the rest. Hell, you could buy it out of the $2M and still be better off than most folks.

Also, 66k with no rent or car payments.

Ah, thanks for the info. That's actually what I suspect is happening with the new fractional shares thing, but the brokerage is the one retaining control.

I do understand that is what it says on the tin. I'm not sure how it works in practice, and I have real hesitation to take any powers-that-be at their word. Probably comes from the trauma of growing up in a "free" "democracy" and then finding out it is all bullshit and lies. I also have actual, material criticisms of the USSR and the PRC, but before engaging with those more, I want to develop my understanding of theory from primary sources.

I used to be for this, but then I started finding out about all that is lost when a language is, and now it makes me sad to think of losing any more than we already have. But also, pragmatically, it'd be awesome to not have language barriers. Need sci-fi style universal translators.

Was that Halo or Call of Duty?

Hope the 360 is emulated well one day (maybe it is now, I haven't checked in a couple years) because I'd really like to nostalgia over Fable 2 again.

I know Hitler had Volkswagen created by (Porche iirc) to be the people's vehicle in early Nazi germany. Folks needed something to drive on the autobahn and the slaves needed something to build.

The only message is kinda that war is bad? And ambition unchecked by compassion is bad?
