The ignorant usually improve. The stupid usually don’t.
- Comment on Is it possible for someone in America to not know who Cristiano Ronaldo or Lionel Messi is? 1 week ago:
My friend has a cat named Messi, so i know he’s a soccer player but didn’t know which team until last week. I read an article once about a Ronaldo statue but still don’t know who he plays for. I do know that they’re both older than most players.
- Comment on Just got arrested for a supposed DWI even though I blew a 0.0000000. Don't cops need to read your Miranda rights to you? I asked for a blood or hair follicle test and I was denied. WTH is happening? 1 week ago:
As for smelling something suspicious- hemp is legal in most states and only discernible (but not really) by testing through a state approved lab. When you buy hemp online it comes with a letter to law enforcement saying that it’s legal. I carry one of those letters in my bag.

- Comment on How did you guys deal with the death of a parent? 2 weeks ago:
I’m sorry you’re going through this. It’s so hard! Lost my mom in 2023 and I miss her everyday. I was a mess for the first few months - worse than i realized. My thoughts of her are now mostly happy memories and things i want to tell her. I talk to her a lot and i talk to her pets about her.
There’s no one right away to grieve. Be gentle on yourself.

My friend’s dad took his life recently with a gun. While there was a mess, that required a cleaning crew, the family appreciated that he had taken steps to minimize that.
- Comment on Why do people say "my taxes" 1 month ago:
Similar to ours, but everyone fills out a form (does their taxes) unless you make less than $15k/yr. When you’re hired you fill out a w-4 to say how many dependents you have which determines your withholding. This should work out to make your amount returned or account due in the spring close to 0. Trump’s big tax change that was advertised to give people more money, really just changed these charts so that many people got more money on their paychecks but then had to pay more in the spring.
Anyone who has investments, self employed, or had anything other than a simple W-2 (the form you get from your employer in January that tells your earnings for the year) fills out more and more forms. Each of these forms adds more opportunities to get screwed or to game the system. Deductions for business experiences might include dinners, trips, vehicles, homes/home offices, etc. for some people.
We also pay 7.65% (up to $184k of income per year) into social security and Medicare (a small amount of money and mediocre not free healthcare that you receive after age 65 or if disabled) and employers match a portion of that.
Here’s s pic of our current tax rates …
- Comment on Why do people say "my taxes" 1 month ago:
How do Czech pay taxes? Is it auto withheld from your paycheck or do you do forms and pay them periodically or both? Is it pretty quick or super involved or somewhere between?
We have witholding and then do forms between January and April to determine if we owe more or get some back. Those forms can be relatively simple or super complicated.
- Comment on Why do people say "my taxes" 1 month ago:
I do my taxes. I renew my driver’s license. I pay my electric bill. I don’t understand how else someone would say those things.

- Comment on How come people get fined for breaking the law and it goes to the state or county? Why doesn't the fine go to the victim or victims? Instead of having to pay restitution just fine them. 2 months ago:
About 20 years ago someone broke my car window and stole two backpacks. Few months later we got a check from a victim fund to cover the loss.
- Comment on Can travel anywhere in late June, not sure where. Anecdotes/advice? 2 months ago:
I’m sorry this is your last planned trip together and I hope you get another opportunity. When my mom was older we went to Alaska. It was beautiful and exciting while not being too much for her - short drives, train, ship through the inside passage- bears, eagles, moose, glaciers, …

- Comment on When did the world change to the so called hashtag? When I was younger it was only the pound sign. So hashtag Taylor Swift still reads in my mind pound Taylor Swift? 3 months ago:
Dude. I invited a coworker over for happy hour awhile back. She arrived after everyone else had left. I showed her a jar of hash i made. I didn’t know she would take a bite of it. We had a couple bottles of champagne. Shit got weird and she called her husband for a ride home about 2am.

I think it was always called a hash but we read it as pound or number…7# or #7. Like how we say ‘and’ instead of saying ampersand.

The passing that will hopefully begin the decline of the maga cult.
- Comment on How will you celebrate? 3 months ago:
Was that the brunch comment? No biggie. It’s not a super serious discussion- just an internet post on No Stupid Questions. A certain percentage of responses are expected to be negativish. That’s what keeps the web spinning.
If all the magats who posted HE IS RISEN yesterday (for their friends to see) actually went to church, my favorite brunch places would be easier to get into.
