you are legally required to register your residence with the government

Bit depressing.

Well was it a boy or a girl?

Must be an interesting audit.

IRS agent: so you put down that you received a "Cincinnati Steamer" as part of your compensation for employing this vendor.

Dude: that's right

IRS agent: please describe what goes into a Cincinnati Steamer so I can assign it to a category or categories. Also do you happen to have her W2s and social security number?

Dude: sure, and no I don't have her paperwork. Surprisingly she didn't share it with me.

Might want to look up how quotes work. Nah I don't want your articles. You got an argument, you can make it yourself.....after you learn how quotes work

I imagine what is going on is the answers on the multiple choice questions weren't random and you were picking up on the pattern then retroconing a justification. Say for example

• A. 12
• B. 14
• C. 11
• D. 68

You threw out D right away because it was much different and argued that it had to be A or C because being off by one is an easy mistake. Now it's just a question if even or odd, so you looked for a divide by 2. If found you went odd, if you found a multiple by 2 you went even.

Added to this you probably noticed a pattern. If C was the correct answer the next one was always A, etc.

If you aren't convinced that its just really good test taking ability it would be pretty easy to use an AI and make it quiz you.

The article talks about the East Orthodox Church involvement.

that far-right conservatives and the Orthodox Church have accused of infecting Georgia and other countries with “degeneracy.”

A Christian church being not only homophobic but also using the state's power to inflict its "morality" on others? I am shocked shocked.

Fear, for example, can cause erections.

I have never had a fear boner in my life.

When it stops being true people will stop mentioning it. Let me know if you need lots of articles about conservative leaders caught in the act.

Look, it's basic psychology. I am straight so for me I don't get the desire to have gay sex. If I disproved of gay sex I still wouldn't want a law against it because I simply don't understand why anyone would want to engage in it. If I were in the closet and didn't approve of it of course I would want a law against it, because I would know how tempting it was. Drug laws do make a bit of sense because all of us have a desire to be free of cold unfeeling existence for a little while. Drugs are naturally tempting, unlike homosexuality which is only tempting to a small fraction of the population.

You need the right combination of wanting something and not approving of what you want. Any other combination is not going to result in that outcome.

The louder the homophobic rant, the deeper in the closet.

Bad things are happening -> a minority caused it. All we have to is eliminate the minority and double down on ideas that failed us.

Guess humans haven't changed much. On an unrelated note a friend of mine yesterday decided to tell me about the vast conspiracy of trans people to hurt girls and I am reconsidering our relationship.

Fine. I will bring my happiness levels down

Well on the bright side I am sure this person has a bunch of new followers on X. Granted most of them are trying to build a criminal case against him for further profoundly dumb posts but still. All publicity is good publicity

They thought about it but were too afraid of the IRS to do it.

It used to be tax deductable to bribe government officials of foreign governments.

Unrelated, if you get bribed in time with a hooker do you report it based on what she charges or fair market rate or is there a set amount? I feel like someone at the IRS sat down and came up with an answer to this.

I wonder when they will go all Boeing and GE. The day when all they will have left is the ability to buy their own stock and lobby from the government for free money. Imagine the platonic peak form of health insurance. Processing no claims whatsoever.

Funny picture, not accurate, but pretty funny. The US is the only developed nation with a life expectancy going down. Hovering around a low established in 1996. Canada on the other hand continues to increase with a tiny rate of growth dip during the worse of Covid. Worse pandemic in its history and all she gets it from it was people were living longer each year at a slower rate.

The proceeding was a paid message brought to you by Atena.

Atena, the last time we paid out was 1998 and we fired the person who did that so it won't happen again.

Knock on the door

Guy opens door

FBI agent: hey we know Putin is sending you money. Stop posting stuff on the internet supporting him or we will plant cocaine and child porn on you, then tell the local police. This is of course if we are in a good mood. If we aren't in a good mood you will be kidnapped and thrown out of a helicopter into the ocean at night.

Guy: shocked silence

FBI agent: almost forgot. Here is a folder containing pictures of all your family members, with their addresses on the back. Bet you didn't know that your favorite aunt was a tax cheat. Hope no one calls the IRS and let's them know. And your nephew Johnny, who just got an internship. How do you think his new employer would react to me calling them and telling them that we are opening an investigation into him?

These are shitty evil people. Who don't even come close to following basic rules of decency. The fact that they continue to take no action against what Russia is doing hints very strongly that they aren't opposed to it. You can't be powerful enough to wage a secret war in Cambodia that kills millions and so weak you can't intimidate a guy living openly in the US with a lifestyle of tens of millions a year.

Here is another fun fact for you: Monica Lewinsky only agreed to testify after a single member of the Justice department threatened to have her mother thrown in jail. We aren't talking the entire resources of the federal government here, we are talking about one lawyer.

We already have quite a few systems in place to prove who the parents are.

Just email it to yourself from your Gmail account. That is perfectly secure.
