- Comment on Your all-time favorite game? Let's discuss the best options! 2 weeks ago:
Fez! I love the low stress puzzle game. I think it’s beautiful and smart. I love that it was made by one guy. It’s too bad he got burnt out and quit. He is very talented.

You too!
- Comment on Is 33 cents a small amount of money? 2 weeks ago:
Actually, yeah. Something visual would probably be much better. That’s a great idea! Next time the topic comes up I’ll try that!
If he is interested in something he’ll dive in head first. He reads so much! But if he’s not interested in something…that’s another story. It’s hard for him to fake it lol
We watch a lot of mini documentary on YouTube. I can’t believe I didn’t think of that before!
- Comment on Is 33 cents a small amount of money? 2 weeks ago:
I would disagree with your premise but it’s not your fault. It’s my fault for not explaining it clearly
I don’t think not knowing something makes you stupid. Humans can’t know everything. We all have strengths and weaknesses. I know about taxes, but I don’t know shit about cooking. He cooks dinner, I deal with the bureaucracy situations.
Also, I’m don’t know if you’ve ever spent time with someone who struggles with ADHD and Neurodivergence but their brains don’t work like others. They can’t force themselves to do things that other people can tough out. They can study all night but if their brain can’t stay on track, they won’t be able to retain it.
When I come along and start telling him how tax brackets work, especially if he didn’t ask me, hes going to be frustrated and he’s not going to get through it easily.
I don’t know if he just doesn’t want to work OT and has settled on this excuse or if there is some other issue but it doesn’t matter. If he doesn’t want to work OT, that’s okay!
- Comment on Is 33 cents a small amount of money? 2 weeks ago:
That’s fair. I appreciate your concern for me!
He’s not always like that. I didn’t mean to make him sound like a jerk. I just meant to relate to the topic of tax confusion with personal experience.
He had pretty severe ADHD and struggles with some topics. It’s okay! I deal with the money stuff and he cooks dinner. :)
- Comment on Is 33 cents a small amount of money? 2 weeks ago:
You’re absolutely right. I cant speak for anyone else, as I don’t live there but I highly doubt the US is an exception.
Rather than being mad at each other, I want to make sure we hold the right people accountable! Governments, corporations, billionaires etc.
It’s a form of oppression.
- Comment on Is 33 cents a small amount of money? 2 weeks ago:
This is true for many people I’ve talked to, but he does understand, on a basic level, how the brackets work. When it comes to the calculation parts, I think he gets frustrated with all the rules.
But it’s okay! I’m good at stuff like that and he can build pretty much anything. We all have our strengths. :)
- Comment on Is 33 cents a small amount of money? 2 weeks ago:
Nah. He’s not an idiot. But he is impatient. He doesn’t handle paperwork or anything involving patience well. (ADHD)
I also think taxes in the US are intentionally over complicated and confusing. I don’t struggle with things like that but I can empathize with people who do.
- Comment on Is 33 cents a small amount of money? 2 weeks ago:
Exactly, and it also depends on what withholding you have requested.
- Comment on Is 33 cents a small amount of money? 2 weeks ago:
Nah. He’s not a bad person or a dummy. He just gets frustrated by bureaucracy and doesn’t have the patience I have.
- Comment on Is 33 cents a small amount of money? 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, I definitely didn’t leave this in school. I know about it from reading articles on tax brackets. _(‘’)/
- Comment on Is 33 cents a small amount of money? 2 weeks ago:
This is the problem. My partner doesn’t want to work OT because he thinks it will cost him more in taxes. I explain why that’s not exactly true, but I can tell he’s not interested. Financial Literacy in the US is abysmal.
- Comment on Roblox CEO tells parents that “if you're not comfortable, don't let your kids be on Roblox”. 2 weeks ago:
If I had kids now, I wouldn’t let them touch Roblox. My ex had a kid that he didn’t pay enough attention to. That was constantly falling in with online predators in Roblox and Discord. I reported a predator on discord and they made me go through and flag every picture the kid sent, not the whole conversation. wtf Discord. Keeping predators away on Roblox was harder.
- Comment on Vampire Survivors devs launch official wiki "free of ads, banners, and all of the junk that gets in your way" 2 weeks ago:
Fandom is icky. A few years ago, my mom was getting scammed by some conspiracy guy from LinkedIn who offered her a “job.”
These dudes set up their own fandom wiki to try to make their bullshit seem real. I can’t remember the name of the people involved but one guy was claiming that he was owed 300 trillion dollars by the government. (Can’t remember the exact number but it was astronomically high. More money than exists kinda high)

The word for potato is my favorite. It’s so fancy and English just calls it a potato.
- Comment on Disney+ Lost 700,000 Subscribers in Final 3 Months of 2024 1 month ago:
I watch Futurama every night at bed. Hulu is the only app that plays when I leave the TV on but turn off the screen.
- Comment on Disney+ Lost 700,000 Subscribers in Final 3 Months of 2024 1 month ago:
I only have D+ because it was cheaper to get HBO and Hulu in their bundle rather than separately.
- Comment on Does anyone actually know what MAGA all agree they are getting out of all this? 1 month ago:
I realized this during the 2016 election. People always say they are voting against their own interests, but their only real interest is to spite someone else. Hurting other people is a win, for them.
- Comment on 🎵 🎶 🎵 1 month ago:
Birds can make two sounds at once! They harmonize with themselves! I think that’s incredible. Sometimes when you hear a some birds calling to each other, it’s actually just one bird.
I learned about it during this podcast!
- Comment on The new Hulu Subscriber agreement just dropped - Don't like ads too bad. 1 month ago:
I first time I see an ad on my ad-free subscription, I will cancel like I did with Prime Video.
It’s like they want us to become pirates.
- Comment on Anon is 33 1 month ago:
Not exercising doesn’t mean you’re obese. I know a guy who could be this person. He’s very skinny. He doesn’t exercise but he doesn’t eat much. And he eats the same food every meal.
- Comment on Anon is 33 1 month ago:
I know someone like this. In fact, I read this and I think it could be him. I don’t know for sure. I would reach out, but I honestly don’t know him well.
He’s good friends with my partner. They went to school together. They play games together over Discord regularly. I’ve only met him once.
- Comment on That was a great 17 minute wait 1 month ago:
Happened to me. I’ve had both. Companies that say they’ll never do ask for that and companies that use a texted code to verify you over the phone or even in a helper chat. (I think Apple might even do it but I haven’t used their help in awhile)
So when I got a call from a number that was spoofing a payment app’s info, i didn’t think much of it when they asked for a code. But as soon as I said it, I knew I fucked up since I didn’t initiate the call. They tried to buy $500 gift cards with it but because I realized it so quickly I was able to get it stopped by the real company and my bank.
I genuinely think I’m pretty good at recognizing scams and have a high “tech IQ” but they got me here.
I always tell people this story so they know it really can happen to anyone, no matter how good you might be.

Yeah, I can’t see the instance sidebar in the app I’m using. I found the info on the website. Thanks though!

A regional gas station near me has their brand of energy drinks in soda dispensers like this one.

Please, no more sequels of mediocre nostalgia.
- Comment on Lemm.ee is recruiting new admins! 2 months ago:
Weird. I’m not seeing it. I checked the sidebar before I asked. I’m using an app. Maybe that’s why. I’ll check it in the browser.

Is there a location with the administration policy clearly written or is it communicated over a series of posts in this meta?
- Comment on Do dogs and cats have dominant front paws? 2 months ago:
I actually just listens to a podcast about this!
Even plays have a dominate side! It’s usually the right side and there are reasons for that. I won’t try to explain it here. I’m not good at that kind of thing but I’ll link to the podcast below. It’s less than 30 minutes too!
Why are there lefties and righties?
Also, I have two male dogs. I noticed that one always lifts his left leg to per and the other lifts his right.
