And I’m also aware of how much it will completely fuck you over if you do it.

You are giving false equivalency arguments. You are equating Musk’s abilities to some direct link in your taxes, as though the 25% you pay each paycheck is funding him. It isn’t. It is still funding garbage collection, national parks, welfare programs, and other critical infrastructure. Your taxes haven’t started going to new places. They are doing the exact same thing they have always done. You are being reactionary, and it comes off like you are either 15 years old and just learning about taxation, or 55 and learning about Libertarianism. Get a grip on yourself, realise that there is still work to be done, and being an infant about this shit isn’t doing anything but wasting people’s fucking time. If you don’t want to pay taxes, don’t. But don’t lie and say it’s about Musk. It’s selfishness. It’s because you can’t manage what money you have, and you think that little bit extra is going to make a difference. It won’t, though. You’ll still be broke because you spent all your money on weed and black light posters.

You are free to do whatever you want to do, however, there are consequences to your actions. If you believe that the US government will collapse and there will be no one to start garnishing your wages when you don’t report your taxes, then by all means, stop paying them.
Your reaction is “reactionary”, though. You come across as though you are looking for a reason to not pay taxes, and you think you’ve found one. Instead, you should be looking for ways to correct the problems you see. If you don’t like Musk, then find ways to undermine him. Refusal to pay your taxes isn’t it, though.

I’m in the “make up an excuse and don’t show up” camp. If I went to a friend’s family gathering and my friend tried to pawn me off on a relative with a conversation starter, I’d probably have to leave. I don’t go anywhere without an exit plan, and I’ve been known to dip out of restaurant waiting areas because it was too crowded to be comfortable while I wait. Last year I skipped a concert for my favorite band that I paid extra to get the VIP passes for just because I couldn’t even think about being in the crowd. Social anxiety is a real problem, and I appreciate you giving some input on how to help others deal with it. I’ll add by saying that if you know a friend has a hard time with it, be upfront and ask them if they are comfortable with the situation BEFORE the get together. Let them know if you will be there with them the whole time, or if they will be flying solo. I don’t not want to go to social gatherings, I just need to have my ins and my outs sorted before I dive headfirst into one.

There was another one, don’t know if it was from the same list or not, but it was the all beet diet. Just beets. Season and cook them however you want, but that is all you are allowed to have. Period. My stepdad did the diet and nearly lost his goddamned mind.

Religion is a tool for control, and an organizing force for hate groups.
- Comment on Bishop Asks Trump to ‘Have Mercy’ on Immigrants and Gay Children 4 weeks ago:
And that’s how they maintain their control. “Don’t bother, it won’t do any good.” A confederacy of pedophiles and thieves donning a white cloth of false purity. But, no, don’t take a stand against them in your own life, and don’t hold your leaders to the same, because it won’t do any good. While the world burns we’ll pour one out for all the lost causes we didn’t support because someone said it was a waste of our time.

Fuck the church, fuck the clergy, and fuck their fake god. Fuck Trump, fuck the GOP, and fuck the machine. Save your “mercy”. Let’s talk when you devote a few centuries to fixing all of the shit you’ve been fucking up since the dawn of time. Until then, take your prayers and shove them up your ass sideways, you fucking cultist cunts.

Yeah, I don’t think it’s a full steamdeck 2, I think it would be more like the oled upgrade. Slightly better performance and battery life. I think valve is going to lean into the cellphone model of smaller upgrades every year, with an eventual phase out of old hardware after 5 years or so.

pcgamer.com/…/a-new-steam-deck-is-coming-with-one…
There were rumors yesterday about it after CES. It looks like Valve is denying it after AMD said there were new processors on the way for Steamdeck. I’m not 100% sold on the denial, I think it may have been some miscommunication on the timing of the news. Either way, that’s where I got it from, I just hadn’t seen the news today about them denying it yet.
- Comment on DeckSight: OLED mod for the LCD Steam Deck 1 month ago:
Don’t forget, there is a new steam deck refresh coming soon, so getting a new one will have even more benefits.
- Comment on "It seems likely Elon Musk has lost over half of the UK twitter daily audience by now" 1 month ago:
If that’s what you think the cause of the election results was, then you are in your own echo chamber. A democratic candidate could have come out and said they have a million dollars and a lifetime supply of Diet Mountain Dew for every voter and the MAGA crowd still would have found a reason to hate them. The problem wasn’t the democratic outreach; it was that the GOP was taking every opportunity to poison the well. You can see how it splinters their own party, because they just throw hate in all directions, but it doesn’t matter because they’ve built a “brand”. It’s the same way that Christians can give their money to the church while knowing full well that it only goes to support hate groups and pedophiles. It’s a cognitive dissonance of loving hate. The GOP built their own echo chamber out of brick and mortar, and they have sealed the entire party inside. It wasn’t that the Democrats were excluding voters, it was the voters that were excluding the Democrats.

You’ll notice the people who complain about the “echo chambers” are the ones that aren’t invited to the discourse.
