- Comment on Exclusive | HHS spent $22B on grants for migrants — including cash for cars, home loans and startups 1 week ago:
What are you basing that off of? Because I’m seeing the bulk of this money is going to refugee services. Those individuals have legal status to be in the US, and I’d rather they have homes and jobs than be on the street increasing the burden on our emergency services
- Comment on Exclusive | HHS spent $22B on grants for migrants — including cash for cars, home loans and startups 1 week ago:
Helping people who are legally immigrating to the US obtain housing and jobs seems like a really good idea. And this article uses every derogatory buzzword it can, “splurged,” “bilked,” etc. when this is just sound government policy. The NY Post sucks.

Yes there are lots of beautiful women in prison wanting to exchange letters with you. Didn’t you know that? And when they ask you to send gift cards, it’s definitely only because they love you

Watching Jeen-Yuhs, as someone who works in mental health, I saw a story play out I’ve seen time and again. Dude had a serious break with reality after his mother passed away. I don’t know enough to tell whether it’s schizophrenia, bipolar I, or schizoaffective disorder, but he’s almost certainly dealing with one of these and not receiving any treatment for it because his money and status protects him from the consequences that would land the rest of us in a psych hospital involuntarily.

You’ve gotten a lot of advice on here, but I don’t think I’ve seen this…are you able to “suck in your gut” if you try hard and it improves how it looks? If so, it might not even be visceral fat, but just poor muscle tone in your abdominal area. If this is it, then core strength exercises are the way to go. Practice sucking in that gut more and more until it becomes the default, and strengthen your abs and obliques.
- Comment on I am required to pay taxes to the US government, not elon musk running a fraudulent government agency, why should I pay? 2 weeks ago:
If you’re an employee, you should have filled out a W4 when you started your job to indicate your tax withholding. You are able to submit a new W4 at any time

Yeah I will

You misunderstand how tax withholding works. When you sign up for tax withholding, the IRS gets a portion of your wage each paycheck and sets it aside for you to cover your tax bill the following year. The IRS is only holding that money for you during that time before your annual bill is due, in what amounts to you loaning the government money interest-free. Many people do not withhold taxes and just pay it all at once. And yes, at this point, whether the IRS will exist as a functioning entity in 2026 is a legitimate question, so not giving them a free loan might be a good idea

That’s because the polar vortex slid off the Arctic onto North America, allowing warmer air to creep northward on your side of the globe. I remember in '21, while we had record cold in the southern US, Siberia was on fire.

"He didn’t mean for it to be a Nazi salute, he just wanted it to look like a Nazi salute. You know, to troll people who don’t like Nazis "
- Comment on Is there anything my girlfriend and I have to consider when traveling to America based on our skin differences? 4 weeks ago:
There’s more of an urban/rural divide here than you’re describing. Their experience in Houston, New Orleans, or Atlanta is going to be a lot different than small town Louisiana or Alabama

This is not true. There are plenty people who snore but who do not have any negative effects from it, e.g. sleep apnea.

- Comment on I'm seriously proud of this 1 month ago:
Totally looks like Wheatsville Coop in Austin. If so, they have pretty good wages from my understanding, and also this location is closing permanently soon. But there are probably other stores that look like this too

No, this is correct. They get paid in methamphetamines
