How many people start companies, rack up a bunch of debt, then create another company that buys everything except the debt?
- Comment on A VPN Company Canceled All Lifetime Subscriptions, Claiming It Didn’t Know About Them 2 days ago:
It’s BS they didn’t know about it. They got the financials before the deal. Even if it wasn’t directly listed as a line item it would have been a part of the expenses.
They still thought the deal was worth doing as it was based on incoming revenue and outgoing expenses.
- Comment on Trakt Upcoming VIP Renewal Pricing Changes – Effective May 20, 2025 3 days ago:
I didn’t even get an email about this. I would have been angry when my subscription auto renewed. I love Trakt but this is too much. I’ll be cancelling too

It’s funny. They target people who burned the trucks, but insurance claims are probably their best chance to get paid for the trucks.
- Comment on How do children address a non-binary parent? 5 days ago:
My niece is non-binary and we run into this issue. Now, I just ask people who identify as non-binary. “When there isn’t a good non-binary term to use, do you prefer me to use male or female words?”
So far, the non-binary people I’ve asked seem to appreciate the question.

Yeah, could have been called “kids are learning how circuits work thanks to TikTok trend” and suddenly the story has a whole other meaning

- Comment on What do office workers actually do? 3 weeks ago:
I just check email all day. Like that’s 80% of my job. My entire job could be done from anywhere. I don’t do as single thing that isn’t in my laptop. But I still sit at a stupid cubicle.
- Comment on CVE fallout: The splintering of the standard vulnerability tracking system has begun 4 weeks ago:
I’m don’t trust any .gov sites anymore. If I’m researching and I see that it’s a government site, I move on. I can’t trust that info.
The whole thing is scary

Fez! I love the low stress puzzle game. I think it’s beautiful and smart. I love that it was made by one guy. It’s too bad he got burnt out and quit. He is very talented.

You too!

I would disagree with your premise but it’s not your fault. It’s my fault for not explaining it clearly
I don’t think not knowing something makes you stupid. Humans can’t know everything. We all have strengths and weaknesses. I know about taxes, but I don’t know shit about cooking. He cooks dinner, I deal with the bureaucracy situations.
Also, I’m don’t know if you’ve ever spent time with someone who struggles with ADHD and Neurodivergence but their brains don’t work like others. They can’t force themselves to do things that other people can tough out. They can study all night but if their brain can’t stay on track, they won’t be able to retain it.
When I come along and start telling him how tax brackets work, especially if he didn’t ask me, hes going to be frustrated and he’s not going to get through it easily.
I don’t know if he just doesn’t want to work OT and has settled on this excuse or if there is some other issue but it doesn’t matter. If he doesn’t want to work OT, that’s okay!
- Comment on Is 33 cents a small amount of money? 1 month ago:
That’s fair. I appreciate your concern for me!
He’s not always like that. I didn’t mean to make him sound like a jerk. I just meant to relate to the topic of tax confusion with personal experience.
He had pretty severe ADHD and struggles with some topics. It’s okay! I deal with the money stuff and he cooks dinner. :)
- Comment on Is 33 cents a small amount of money? 1 month ago:
You’re absolutely right. I cant speak for anyone else, as I don’t live there but I highly doubt the US is an exception.
Rather than being mad at each other, I want to make sure we hold the right people accountable! Governments, corporations, billionaires etc.
It’s a form of oppression.
- Comment on Is 33 cents a small amount of money? 1 month ago:
This is true for many people I’ve talked to, but he does understand, on a basic level, how the brackets work. When it comes to the calculation parts, I think he gets frustrated with all the rules.
But it’s okay! I’m good at stuff like that and he can build pretty much anything. We all have our strengths. :)
- Comment on Is 33 cents a small amount of money? 1 month ago:
Nah. He’s not an idiot. But he is impatient. He doesn’t handle paperwork or anything involving patience well. (ADHD)
I also think taxes in the US are intentionally over complicated and confusing. I don’t struggle with things like that but I can empathize with people who do.
- Comment on Is 33 cents a small amount of money? 1 month ago:
Exactly, and it also depends on what withholding you have requested.
- Comment on Is 33 cents a small amount of money? 1 month ago:
Nah. He’s not a bad person or a dummy. He just gets frustrated by bureaucracy and doesn’t have the patience I have.
- Comment on Is 33 cents a small amount of money? 1 month ago:
Yeah, I definitely didn’t leave this in school. I know about it from reading articles on tax brackets. _(‘’)/
- Comment on Is 33 cents a small amount of money? 1 month ago:
This is the problem. My partner doesn’t want to work OT because he thinks it will cost him more in taxes. I explain why that’s not exactly true, but I can tell he’s not interested. Financial Literacy in the US is abysmal.

Once I order tampons on Amazon. They just put a shipping label directly on a single box.
I’m not embarrassed by stuff like that, but how weird.
- Comment on New Junior Developers Can’t Actually Code 2 months ago:
I suspect there are a lot of people who chased dollars with boot camps. They lack critical thinking skills, and don’t value curiosity and learning, which are pretty important to this field.
If they don’t know where to start and aren’t excited by figuring it out, they aren’t going to have a great time.
- Comment on Does anyone actually know what MAGA all agree they are getting out of all this? 3 months ago:
I realized this during the 2016 election. People always say they are voting against their own interests, but their only real interest is to spite someone else. Hurting other people is a win, for them.

Birds can make two sounds at once! They harmonize with themselves! I think that’s incredible. Sometimes when you hear a some birds calling to each other, it’s actually just one bird.
I learned about it during this podcast!

Weird. I’m not seeing it. I checked the sidebar before I asked. I’m using an app. Maybe that’s why. I’ll check it in the browser.

Is there a location with the administration policy clearly written or is it communicated over a series of posts in this meta?
