They have something like three houses in Marin County, one or two in Santa Rosa, and 1 or 2 in Sonoma. So yeah, they’re making a load. And like I said they don’t even spend it which makes it even weirder they evade the taxes. The dad drives a early 2000s truck and the mom has a 10 year plus...

As someone who paid around $40,000 in taxes last year, I get what you’re saying.

My point is, it’s not something you’d be proud of, not that you’d go around necessarily telling anyone. Conscious, that type of thing.

I’ve never not paid a dime to the tax man I owed. I haven’t even got a speeding ticket since the year 2000. Dunno why you’re so tilted at me because I won’t rat someone else out. I can just imagine telling my other friends: “Hey I just got 300 grand from reporting tax fraud from my friend...

I’m very close friends with the daughter. They weren’t just casually telling me. She’s even met my parents in another state before and stayed with them even when I wasn’t there. We used to a lot of stuff together. We now live about an hour away and she’s engaged and I don’t see her as often.

Shrug.

I am not “enabling” then to steal money by not reporting them. Do I like the fact they do this? No. That’s why when they told me, and the daughter told me she does it also, I was like really? I kinda pointedly asked her if she was afraid of getting caught in an accusatory way...unfortunately...

You want to hear something more ironic? The family as a whole has a ton of people in law enforcement, active and retired.

Ha! Oh man...if these were people I didn’t like... The thing is they’re some of the most helpful I’ve ever met and have helped me out greatly since I moved to California years back, including letting me rent one of their houses from 2016-2017 at approximately half market rate because I’m...

There’s no way they’d tell their tenants about it, someone would get pissed off and report it. I was actually shocked they even brought it up with me. I wouldn’t do it in the first place, but if I were I wouldn’t tell a damn soul about it. These people are reasonably well off as it is and...

Yah...my dad’s company many years back when he owned one got audited, not due to any fault of his own but his in-house accounting person made some mistakes in how they were paying taxes. I was there one day when an IRS official came in with a badge and everything and wanted to talk. It was...

Oh agreed totally on that. I have no idea how they’ve got away with it. Their daughter who I’m also friends with owns a house and an apartment in Oakland, rents them, and is doing the same thing. She’s making around $5.5k a month from those two and not paying any taxes on it, but she also has a...

Sure it does. I asked a banker friend about it. He said the IRS does not have any mechanism to just bulk look at bank accounts and see if they match against taxes. Obviously if you get audited that’s different.

I have some friends who own 5-6 Bay Area houses...millions of dollars in assets, and they rent them all at 3-4k a month. They get paid by check for all of them and don't pay taxes for any of them and have been doing this since the 80s. I was actually blown away when they told me this...

Question since I don’t really know that much about crypto...it’s more or less untraceable isn’t it ? Let’s say you sold (whatever) using Bitcoin and made $100k...is there any reasonable way at all the government would even know?

Stupid sexy Flanders!

It’s not even feasible to not have a car in the Bay Area or LA. You can kinda get away with it in SF if you’re that type of person. I live in the East Bay and drive probably 100-200 miles a week just for personal stuff / seeing friends nearby.

SPACs down today. People are saying they’ve become too popular and are getting more and more mainstream press which is causing deviation from the patterns they typically exhibit. Or that could be nonsense. Still holding all my shares of DYMD, APXT, and HCAC.

Do you really think its release had anything to do with the end user? Those decisions are corporate, not public opinion based.

I do not visit that thread. I don’t even follow “gaming” in general to be honest. I probably don’t even play games more than 8 hours a week. I don’t even know what Gamergate is exactly. I occasionally read about AAA titles or other interesting stuff that comes out every few years, buy them...

Thanks to Springbok for letting us know they exist so we can make fun of them. He’s got his finger on the cock-pulse of tranny gaming.

Im not irritated at all. 😎

https://gamerant.com/cyberpunk-2077-wanted-system-corrupt-police/ Well they did say there’s a system where police can catch up to you, so spot on! Man they catch up good too.

HCAC didn’t get the memo on this today!

Says the guy who made most of us aware of what resetera even was a month ago. 🤔 How have you known about that site so long? What have you been posting there? Why go into false logic, anyway? You’re a bit emotional.

Oh yah, we’re criticizing the AI and countless other things wrong with this game because we’re siding with trannies.

People sure do like to do some mental gymnastics to defend this game.

Then why include them at all? Maybe people like doing things that aren’t “in the story context.” You know, because it was supposed to be a crazy advanced next gen open world.

If you’re going to have them at all, at least get them as right as 10+ year old games. “Hurr, who cares if they half assed it.”

Some guy on a YouTube video was pointing out how easy it is to hit 6-7k headshots within the first hour of the game or something. Seems pretty easy to gimp the game if you’re so inclined.

Apparently devs and other people related to the game are getting death threats. 😜 Spergs gonna sperg. Then people in the comments double down with “you deserved this.”

More of the same complaints about the thin "open world" here with almost 700 comments, so it's definitely not just me. Or things like the AI that have been done better in 10+ year old games: This is interesting, given the great sales. As a PC user with a high-ish end system, I haven't...

Jog my memory...wasn't he somehow disabled (either mentally or physically, whatever it was) and living with his parents and on disability / had never worked? He was a odd dude.

The major problem with the internet is sites like these where mentally unstable people echo chamber themselves and reinforce nonsensical shit with no normalcy or sense injected.

Do blades go dull or need repairing or something? When I was playing yesterday, I used a katana, a knife, and another katana...then without warning in the middle of fights I would press the attack button and my character just wouldn’t attack. Looked at my inventory and the DPS for all of them...

Bogus. It was one dude who started a Steam thread as a troll and everyone went with it. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.gamerevolution.com/news/669408-cyberpunk-2077-circumcised-lock-out-romance-options%3famp

Exactly my strategy. 😎 I’m like “ooh, easy $500, and you’re sold.” Sometimes of course I miss out on it going up another couple of dollars but eh.

Yeah totally. Something has got to give eventually. It’s too easy at the moment.
