I got audited the first year I filed schedule C. After sending them 5 fucking hundred pages of documentation, they gave me every penny plus interest. Now it just feels like a game. Whats the worst theyre gonna do, audit me? oh no

And once you get audited once, the fear of audit goes away completely and you realize how much room for creativity there is in taxes. Especially once you toss a schedule C and a schedule F on the pile. I swear they must just use a RNG to determine who gets audited.

If I'm an ant, from my perspective, human behavior toward ants absolutely constitutes war. Also, if I'm an ant who notices humans and has the ability to wage war, damn straight it's war, for our survival. Nobody said war only happens between equals. The existence of sentient aliens would be a...

Yeah I don't disagree at all about the mechanics youre describing. I'm just saying that I constantly run into people who act like the decay will eat your profit if you hold longer than 1 day. The magnitude of the decay is all I was quibbling over. I find that many people overestimate it. I wish...

decay over time is wildly overestimated, especially on a little barely leveraged ETF like NVDS Dont hold them years :) My NVDS is a week or so old, I'll probably sell in the next couple days. not cause holding longer would be too risky but because its already a small profit and thats my...

UFOs are fake and gay, but if they were real, it would be hugely important for exactly this reason. Either they kill us or we kill them. The history of non-human hominids shows what happens when sentient species come into contact. Except in the case of aliens, without the occasional oops...

LoL. Thanks, that clarifies it. How hilarious. I wonder what my flip phone texts do to their silly bullshit.

Ever see a comedy skit that refers to like some movie or TV show you've never seen or heard of? Thats the experience I'm having right now WRT the blue text comment. I know from experience that if I ask I'm gonna get even more confused so I'm just gonna leave it alone.

Doesnt even matter much which coffee you buy, as long as its whole bean, not flavored, and reasonably fresh. Whatevers on sale is fine. The only important things are grind your own fresh before brewing and then dont add a bunch of bullshit to it. just water as hot as you can get it, and...

Hey, you'll notice I never said Apple didnt have effective advertising campaigns.

This. Everything Apple sells is inferior in some major way to the alternative but sells for a huge premium, and a large fraction of the population just guzzles that shit down and cant wait for more. It is the biggest tech investing paradox for me. How could they even survive let alone be like...

It's funny cause in relative terms they're not really worse than iphones or macs I read this as the market acknowledging that vr is fucking dumb

The mosquito eradication plans are pretty far along in terms of trying different approaches. In this thread people have expressed curiousity how engineering a less fit mosquito would work, supposing that they'd just be outcompeted by the more fit wild relatives. Its a reasonable objection. The...

Its all Project Blue Beam until proven otherwise.

your people literally serve instant coffee I mean, not as a deliberate insult, which can be kind of funny depending on context. your people serve this as an actual beverage. Thinking its coffee. No one from your Abo sniffing crocodiles asshole of a country is ever allowed to talk about...

I'm I'm after caffeine I'm drinking it the way God intended I just dont get why teapots still exist

The weirdest thing is there are Americans who still dont. Instead they wait like 5 fucking minutes and are rewarded with the second worst sound on the planet

wait a second. an internet discussion has undergone a slight derail from its original topic? Somebody call a mod. This is as unacceptable as it is unprecedented

I mean, it meant your mortgage was paid off in Scotland if you want to get attached to historical meanings. Like most traditions its detached from its original roots, now a red door just symbolizes hospitality for people who are into that symbolizing shit. I think it also has some Fung Shuei...

I've got a little NVDS. That shits ridiculous right now. I'm not sure what needs to be said about entry strategy on that one other than looking at the 1y or 5y charts. If not now, I'm not sure what signal a person could be waiting for.

The tipping thing is funny. I spent most of my life as a big defender of tipping. I worked in the restaurant industry long enough to know it was baked into the industry in that case so I was always a big proponent of tipping. But they've taken it so far I'm ready to go full Mr Pink. And if...

I don't know if anyones commented on this yet, but just go with me for a minute. Mermaids are part fish, right? Some fish - flounder, sole, and halibut, for example - undergo a remarkable transformation as they age. Their eyes start on opposite sides of their head like most fish. But over time...

I looked it up, Red is a traditional color for front doors dating back to like 17th or 18th century Scotland and the early US. Now that I know colorful front doors piss some people off I'm tempted to paint mine, except whats the point? if people can see your front door from the road you're...

That reminds me, I can't believe I've forgotten to wish you all a happy Pride Month Because I care about citing source, https://www.sdlgbtn.com/how-do-gay-guys-sit/

@Amod should fix this title and people who use apostrophes to indicate plurals should be IP banned from the internet

Yeah, I've tried three kinds of traps and none have ever caught a gopher. My wife worries traps will get the dog. But for fucks sakes, you can buy another dog. I never understood caddyshack as a kid.

I havent looked into the details of this Grail test but if it uses Illumina Sequencing its quite likely that the error was caused by a well known issue specific to this sequencing platform ("barcode crosstalk"). If so it could really hit ILMN hard. Like I said I don't know if that was the cause...

and yet they still sat like regular human males (yeah, technically roman, idgaf)

https://pjmedia.com/culture/gwendolynsims/2023/06/03/um-no-thanks-guess-what-stores-with-self-service-checkouts-want-from-you-now-n1700175 lmao I already get pretty rustled about the bullshit "will you round up for a donation to charity X"? (Fuck you - this is straight up tax fraud, asking...

how do we know Miles isnt a white supremacist?

Red was the traditional color for front doors wasnt it?

I mean, the holes are one thing. And the holes are annoying dont get me wrong. But its the mounds and the eating our garden that really rustles my jimmies. Theyre not hard to shoot if you spot them but theres just so fuckin many of them, I dont have time to chill in the yard all day with a...

You keep dodging around the central question and ignoring the correct point I was making, which you still havent contested. Now you want to get into obscure details of early church history. The point still stands that they didnt produce the latest translation from the one before. But please...

Everyone loves to criticize other peoples analogies. Got a better one? Whether you like the analogy or not the point stands. Newer versions of the Bible arent translated from the previous version, which was the retardation implied by Pasteys post and repeated ad nauseum by many others.

Putting aside the alien shit, I always love this completely retarded take. People act like the Bible is a game of telephone, with each version translated from the previous version. Obviously in reality the translations are all based on the original text. Its not a game of telephone, its a...

Every time I see this thread gets bumped, I'm disappointed to find out no ones talking about motherfucking gophers yet. I love my property but may consider a small thermonuclear device in the near future, these fucking pieces of shit

ILMN, the worlds top DNA sequencing company, is already sitting near a 5 year low. This is a central part of the health care industry and the biggest player in that space, by far. Then this...

ftfy The still-plugged-in people I know universally are saying good things about this movie and only hearing good things about this movie. The discussion in this thread is as far outside the mainstream conversation as WEF and 3AM vote dumps.

it doesnt surprise me in terms of calories. But dear lord, can you imagine eating McDonalds leftovers? What in the actual fuck? Like almost all fast food, McDonalds is only edible if consumed within 5 minutes of being made. Literally 20 minutes and its inedible. The next day? I can't even...

The best part is how they say "we're not releasing the details of the new algorithm so people can't get around it" Theyre just openly admitting that the majority hated it, that theyve tweaked their algorithm to hide this, and that they won't tell us how because then peoples' real opinions would...
