Imagine a man - born, live, die, in a shoebox (and all his friends too). His universe is a constant air-conditioned 8x13x5. What does that do to his perspective, values, science...?

They're just called tax preparers, like H & R block, but there's also FreeTaxUSA which is not really totally free, but it's what I usually use, and it keeps your financial records online so next year most of your info is already filled out for you. Also, any financial advisor can help you with more complex tax advice.
I hope that's helpful.
Well, you're on to something there. I do like a lot of games, I mean I collect board games and play solo games all year long. I think I just don't like stress-inducing games or games where, if you miss a jump to a platform, you have to start over from scratch (which is how most early video games are since there weren't many save options).
I loved the first three God of War games, and still play them over and over. I like that they are on the rails, you only play as one character, there's plenty of health chests along the way, and even when a fight or a puzzle is challenging, it isn't impossible and you actually can overcome it and live to see the rest of the game.
And I like open-ended simulation games like Sim City and Stardew Valley where you can play at a leisurely pace.
I know that is true of me, but I eventually decided to can the whole idea of a relationship and just be an independent bitter and dysfunctional adult (!).
I think one reason people have such terrible relationships, quite honestly is because, growing up, we never learn the value of compromise. Especially nowadays - I think people are taught to get get exactly what they demand all the time, and if they don't that makes them weak and somehow unfit - we keep telling people, "kick ass" and "never give in." I'm not sure that's the right message in all situations.
Anyway time will tell, maybe things will work out great for the both of them. I truly am not worried about it, to be honest I really never even knew what Taylor Swift looked like until I saw her at the Superbowl on TV. I'm not a Swifty or whatever they call her mega-fans - Just a casual observer.
That's definitely part of it. It's like, when I was just scraping by (I did work full time but was paying a lot in rent and food and taxes etc) the idea of being one paycheck away from the street really didn't bother me. Now, I feel like I've become dependent on the assumption of having money and needing more, more more of it just to feel safe somehow.
I didn't, the posting did. It implied that serial murderers and bisexual men are the same thing.
Trump as Captain of the Titanic
That's a very apt description unfortunately. And we did hit the iceburg, and we HAVE drowned. America is no more a country of any value or worth. And as the very rats who drowned on their own ship are seeking to re-enact the Titanic disaster a second time, the rest of us will go down in the vortex to our mutual eternal damnation.
!! That's pretty Hi.
Larious, that is. But it would be perty darn cool if Gifs could actually move once they were printed out. Pornhub would be overtrafficked 24/7.
What they are saying here is, all of us are victims of America's racist past, whether or not your family was around when slavery was an issue. It's just sort of a snarky way of saying that.
I recognize some of the faces but none of them are as famous as Jeff Dahmer, maybe because he added cannibalism into the mix. Nonetheless I don't understand what mass murderers have to do with being bisexual, as even Jeff Dahmer denied having same-sex attraction (even though he only dated males). In other words, he was more worried about being seen as "gay" than being seen as a cannibalistic kid killer.
And it seems people today are still more hung up about someone's sexual orientation than whether they are a decent human being.
Yeah the rich know all the loopholes, they have people on staff just to look for them.
It's weird but when I had almost no money, I never worried about money or about paying taxes. When my parents died and I came into my trust, now all i do is worry about money and have developed a jealousy over it I never thought would happen.
I was able to retire young because of it, I have this house I'll never live long enough to see all the rooms in (I always joke with my friends) but - still, I worry about letting go of any of the money. Maybe because it's something I never had to worry about before...?
There's a lot of truth to this. I miss the idea of being coupled, but I don't miss the petty stressors.
Death is no excuse for missing work, unless you have a written note from your doctor. Be here all the earlier the next day though.
Yes but what I'm saying is, to life forms from other planets that breathe other gases, us humans breathing oxygen will seem as weird as what they breathe might seem to us. To us on earth, it's perfectly normal and not odd, because it's what we are used to.
I thought "T-swag" was a term for a trans person. At any rate I certainly have no insight into either one of their lives, I don't think I've ever even seen Taylor Swift before until Sunday night. And I don't think I've ever heard any of her music, at all. I just know she's a commodity that makes a lot of money and that's about all I do know about her.
Maybe so. I'm a bit of a cynic. Their kiss seems genuine enough and for her sake I hope it doesn't end badly but, I just don't know how it can work. I mean you have someone who's a huge commodity (as most superstars are) paired up with a celebrity athlete, and the world is tugging at them all the time. My honest prediction is, it may last for a year, or two, but even if they get married, I doubt it will work in the long run. I don't know why exactly, I feel like he is just not the right one, but that's really just an opinion.
I think one reason people believe that and I heard a lot of people talking about the day it happened is, the twin towers would not ordinarily have imploded the way they did just because of an airplane impact. A lot of fuel leaked from the burning planes, but many speculated there had to already be explosives planted along many of the building's inner seams for them to explode and collapse the way they did.
I don't know if we'll ever know for sure, but there COULD be some plausibility to inside homegrown terrorists having aided this atrocity.
I've seen those also, but the only ones I used were the green DOS ones. But you're right - they were both a thing, I forgot about the Amber colored ones!
That is kinda creepy, who is that guy looking askance at their on-camera canoodling. Let them have their moment, we know this relationship is going to last all of two months at best. (Not that there's anything wrong with it, it will give her inspiration for a new song).
Are they already really talking about the PS6? I'm still using my PS1, 2, and 3!! I'll never catch up at this rate. I probably will not get the PS5 anyway - I haven't seen many games that look like they'd justify my buying one.
Well he must have some knowledge of a world outside of his shoebox, because obviously he's getting food from somewhere and healthcare needs are being met. So I'd imagine he'd feel very resentful and confined and wondering what he'd done to deserve such a fate.
He'd be full of imaginative ideas, to be sure, and maybe even develop a sense of intuition beyond what people who are fed information all the time ever are able to develop. And I'm sure he'd be unable to form any real sense of belonging or empathy. Other than that - who knows what could happen.
