I never understood why there wasn’t a federal web site where you input your gross based on W2. Then check off boxes for special deductions like kids. And wamo here’s what you owe. But if our tax system was simple and stupid than thousands of people at IRS wouldn’t have jobs. Too bad. Let them find other jobs.

I wonder where they are getting the money for weapons. I thought there were economic sanctions imposed on them. Or did I miss something and were they lifted?

Yeah I have live YouTube TV and they no longer offer the MLB channel. I had got comfortable with You Tube in general because for years I have been watching the regular YouTube and I am paying for Premium, so there are no commercials. The only ads that you have to fast forward through are the ones embedded in the videos by the creators. The billing for both regular YouTube Premium and their TV product is smooth and hassle free. I have never sampled Plex or Hulu and just was wondering how they compare with the YouTube TV product. Regular Youtube has an MLB channel that I am subscribed to. They have game highlights.

I’m coming from Comcast cable. I choose YouTube TV and miss the MLB channel. Not the full slate of games. Just the MLB channel. Does Hulu have it?

Actually we should get back to the original concept. Real people with real jobs all termed limited for 2 terms max for either the House or Senate.

Totally agree.

Actually their needless spending “the money machine” is what caused inflation

“Recession” is a defined economic term. It began while biden was in office. I also agree on your point about competency but I think we can agree that most people vote with their wallet in mind. I am happy for you personally being better off now financially. You must be during something special to somehow being able to out place inflation.

Ironically I was much better off financially as were millions of others during the Trump years than since he left office. I guess that’s how I judge competency.

The determining factor is not age but competency

Before you are administered gas you will be on an IV drip of propofol and midazolam and they will inhibit conscious memory processes

Excellent question. Any time my power goes out I know that i have to unplug my PC to get it to wake up

threads is a great way to ban anyone who doesn’t think just like me. And i know what to think because the mainstream media tells me how to think

Like where are all those cassette players?
The changes came quick. Remember just before them 8 track players. I still remember having one of those mounted under the dash of my car. Right after the cassettes came CD’s. Remember how you could burn your own CD. Then came digital. Remember Ipods. I still have an Ipod without blue tooth. You have to plug headphones into it to hear the music. My newest car doesn’t even offer a CD player anymore.

There is also a reverse phenomenon. At some point older people are just overwhelmed with the new things and have no clue when younger people mention them. I’m thinking about video games specifically. Most old people ended their video game days with “asteroids” as an arcade game.

It honestly got a bit too addicting so the slower pace here at Lemmy is a welcome change.

THIS is an excellent observation. Reddit became an addiction. I wasted hours a day there. I like it here. Less drama and I spend far less time with it.

Perfectly stated. There is a big difference between shaming someone that is significantly overweight vs. coming out and saying that it doesn’t affect your health. The few people I know that are in the obese category will outright tell you that they don’t want to be overweight. But they struggle with it just like someone sincerely wanting to stop smoking.

Yes. They are the person that you completely trust. Even more so than any blood relative. And the reverse is that there is nothing that you would not do for them.
