- Comment on Why do some say they own or have bought something that they technically haven't (e.g. domain names, expensive things, etc.)? 2 days ago:
If you’re behind $1000 in taxes for a $250000 house doesn’t mean the government takes your whole house and you get nothing.
They typically sell it at auction and you get the leftovers.
And that seems fair to you?

Indeed, you are not understanding. I do not own or rent a home. So again I ask, why are you paying more taxes than me?

Nobody is disputing the need for taxes or what their purpose is. The issue is that taxing a homestead is effectively a lease, even if not written as such.
It also begs the question, why are you being taxed more than me? We use the same roads, schools and services. Yet assuming you’re a homeowner you’re paying more for the same shit.

I guess a dollar amount could just be expected from every single person regardless of circumstance. Would that be better?
Yes, that would make far more sense to me than tying it to something arbitrary like land. Failure to pay should not result in homelessness. Especially after a lifetime to paying for said home.

Having to continue to pay for something that you “own” does not sound like ownership to many people.

The big one of course is home ownership, despite having to pay the government for the rest of your life.
- Comment on FL wants more child labor 6 days ago:
That’s debatable considering rump has twice now stated on camera that the election was rigged in his favor.
That said, enjoy your popcorn while you can. This train is coming off the rails and may very well effect you personally in time.

I think it’s a trade route between the US and Rusia.

- Comment on How are you feeling? 1 week ago:
tend to act unconsciously towards my own self-preservation and interest.
I don’t see that as a fault. One must take care of themselves first, then if possible, take on the burden of others.
Many people do the opposite and tend to everyone’s needs but their own. Then they fall apart at some point, never fulfilled.
You may have codependent friends or family like that skewing your perception of what’s best, causing you all this undue guilt.
- Comment on How do you go about getting rid of things around your home/apartment? 1 week ago:
Have I used it in 6 months?
If no, is it a tool? (keep all tools)
If no, is it worth my time to list/sell it? (eBay)
If no, throw it out or donate it.
- Comment on How the fuck do I find out where and when all these protests and rallies are happening? 1 week ago:
FYI, every single search you do on any major search engine is stored forever and can be used against you. I highly advise not using a search engine for anything that a fasc!st govemment may disagree with. It’s not paranoid when they’re actually watching…

Also thanks for reminding me how great Radio Shack used to be. It used to be a place to get actual electronics components. And the people there knew their shit. And there was enough intelligent folks around to keep a place like that in business! God I miss those days…

That’s the point that I thought was obvious. Everyone else seems to be focusing on other factors…
