@djghettoredneck Nice, any reason you picked that one?

@shaokahn Ahh thats likely going to be something implemented upstream (by gargron) not me. But yea id like to see that feature and if he doesnt implement it in the core it is something I might do.

@djghettoredneck Nice, whats the model, I dont know a hole lot about guns.

@shaokahn Oh you mean being able to change it after you tooted it without needing to delete and redraft?

@shaokahn what do you mean by "tooted toot"?

@nerthos This was pretty much exactly what I was going to say.

@Curator Thought you might like this and might want to share it with your flock:

@LWFlouisa
I dont think anything could be farther from the truth. They contribute a great deal to society, though some more than others. They are also the class that donates a larger percentage of their income to charities.

@nerthos @js290 @sandfox

@LWFlouisa
Its flat because you pay the same percentage no matter who you are. Its just people who "waste" their money more pay more.

@nerthos @js290 @sandfox

@illandan ahhh, hmmmm

@shaokahn Yup, its a feature I've been wanting to add, just didnt get to it yet.

@illandan What does it mean to translate an emoji?

@illandan I usually get a weird look then after a second or two a giggle

@unicornfarts Cool, its one of the most common guns in the sport

I wonder if there are any gun enthusiasts in the fediverse. Oddly in all my time here ive never seen anyone post about guns, not even anti-gun posts, let alone guns themselves. Anyone out there into the sport?

@LWFlouisa
Luxury isnt related to how precious or rare something is. A luxury is something not critical to survival. Food, water, toilet paper, these would be 0% tax, jewelry of any kind, makeup, video games, these are all luxury items

@js290 @sandfox

@LWFlouisa
I entierly disagree. Redistribution of wealth isnt the answer. I prefer doing away with income tax and relying on a flat sales tax with percentages varying depending on how much of a luxury the item is.

@sandfox @js290

@LWFlouisa
I disagree a rich person is no more able to pay a 100% rate than a poor person. In both cases they are left with nothing

@js290 @sandfox

@sandfox I think that depends on what we mean by socialist. If by socialist you mean "people are taxed and that money is used to help the whole of the community" then no, i dont see the sort of oppression your talking about. Building a road system off taxes, or an educational system is not going to lead to oppression itself.

Me personally i have a bit more of a subtler definition i use to distinguish communist, socialist, and moderate lefts (economic left not social left).

A communism, for me, would be a country that effectively or literally has 100% tax rate. All money from everyone is used equally and redistributed equally.

A socialist country is one that focuses on redistribution of wealth but not at a 100% rate. Basically any country that doesnt employ a flat-tax (more income means a higher tax %) would be socialist.

A economic-left position that is neither of those is possible and would look like some sort of a flat-tax situation, and may even be at a high rate, where those taxes are used to better everyone. Since this isnt a redistribution of wealth it isnt socialist even though it can take a very left-looking form. Of course this can also apply to the economic-right the difference would jsut be where and how that money is spent
