you might can do something to make the particles more vibrant using the rocket smoke replacer but idk if that works on sv_pure still

colorblind mode just makes the game put little jars over people's heads when they get peed on

you can also increase alt-tab speed by giving tf2 all of core 0 and putting everything else on 1-3

mine used to make my computer hibernate if I did that

did you turn yr computer off and unplug the board?

I weighed myself and I'm down 12lbs since september and I can see the outline of my abs its p cool :)

.125 bounced, .1225 strict

further:

.6C change over the entire world is median change for every region. Based on what we know about climate change where increased warmth in some regions will lead to cooling in others as a result of shifted ice sheets and shit .6C doesn't at all accurately explain how severe the change actually is. We're in a 15 month record high heat in the US where the average temperature is a full degree C above the 20th century average. At the same time, antarctic waters were on average 1-2C below the average temperature.

Because of the way the albedo and shit works, you could quite seriously change the entirety of the world's environment with relatively small changes in median temperature. The Jurassic and Cretaceous border period had a median temperature 2-3C above current norms, and as far as we can tell had literally no ice sheets. The continents were in a similar place to today, but Antarctica was a temperate area with light snowfall. The planet as a whole was warmer, with many areas likely being SIGNIFICANTLY hotter, but the temperature variance across latitudes was far less severe

eventually my shitposting gets too avant garde and I have to take a mandatory soul search

Idk man sounds like liberal bias

i wanna fake my own death and move away and shit how do i start

Im not going to respond to your posts anymore if you think climate change isnt real, because youre honestly too stupid for words to be useful

Sry :(

Im familiar, but i think the difference between the current tax rate and some hypothetical ideal isnt enough to outweigh other factors that make the first world unappealing for manufacture rn

if you weigh for GDP and effective tax rates the US's tax rate is about 20% higher than most other first world countries according to the world bank, with ~27.9% vs ~24.2%. For the majority of businesses saving ~3% of your gross that was going to taxes will not be weighed out by going overseas. You can tell this because you'll notice most businesses that aren't international conglomerates have stayed in the US

> Lower corporate taxes. Lower cost of employment. Far less red tape and regulations. Close by supply chains for just about anything. Lower factory set-up cost. etc etc etc.

Slashing taxes is only going to fix one of those. Cost of employment is a factor of cost of living. I don't think you actually want to start slashing regulations, Supply chains aren't a significant issue for a global company when comparing the US and China since you'll still have to ship roughly equal amounts between the two regardless. Factory set-up cost is mostly because of looser labor laws and lower cost of living. You haven't explained how lowering the tax rate will impact any of these. Taxes are a lesser expense than cost of manufacture, and you'll never have the US beating China

> Lower corporate taxes, higher import taxes, exit taxes are a pretty darn good deterrent to prevent companies from leaving.

It also makes it harder for international companies to compete in the US which makes the US a weaker economy in the global market. Expanding manufacturing artificially for 20 years in the US isn't going to save the economy

>I'd say he's doing pretty well for himself

Arguably. Much of his success seems based on scamming other companies and other less than ethical business practices. He hasn't demonstrated his actual business sense in any of his proposals.

I don't have friends and im too scared to kill myself shitposting is my only hobby

> The ultimate reality is companies are leaving the country because they are being taxed too much and they feel they can make more money overseas

this is just so objectively wrong its hard to really care about the rest of your shitpost

they're leaving the country because you can pay one fifth the labor costs, not because of taxes. The US has a very low effective tax rate for businesses already, there's no where to go where it'll be better

>We need politicians that understand how businesses work and how they succeed

Trump isn't a particularly good businessman though? He's not bad but he's far from the best and not particularly nuanced with what he's shown

there's been ~12,000,000 Asian immigrants to the US since 1960 and 17% were Chinese.

Asians as a whole prefer Democrats 66 to 27%

Assuming populations remain evenly distributed between the two figures: for Chinese people to be a sizable block for Republicans to mobilize they would have to be some arbitrary figure around 70% in favor of Republicans, which would put them about as reliably Red as most other core voting groups for either party. That'd also mean they'd be roughly half of all the Asian republican voters.

You can use this to see where populations of various immigrants have settled. Chinese immigrants make up most (~60%) of the Asian immigrant population in LA county which was 27-70 in favor of Obama in '12. 52% of the voting population is white in LA county. Assuming that there was a relatively even split among whites, which would've been pretty odd but it's CA so w/e, ~26% of the vote for the GOP was from white people. That means 1% of the Republican vote in the city with the most 1st Gen Chinese immigrants voted for the guy who had someone they apparently hate as his Secretary of State. Assuming that literally the entirety of that vote came from Chinese people, you're still only getting about 1:5 FoBs voting against Clinton

so I think you're wrong: Chinese people are not particularly averse to Clinton

what does that says about how much they hate Trump since Asians are swinging more and more to the Democrats?
