This is the way. As soon as they hear “charge back” they’re going to scramble to satisfy you. If they don’t, they have no idea how screwed they’re going to be after too many of those.
- Comment on Max pulling THIS shit every time I finish watching Last Week Tonight 1 week ago:
I haven’t paid him much attention the last few years but that’s always been how I’ve felt about him.
Even if he’s wrong half the time, at least he thinks for himself. That’s a quality I respect in people, which is sadly lacking these days. People are right about his arrogant attitude though. Probably why I stopped paying attention to him.

He’ll either come to realize the truth on his own, or prove you wrong. Either way, you should support him.
- Comment on Why do some say they own or have bought something that they technically haven't (e.g. domain names, expensive things, etc.)? 1 week ago:
If you’re behind $1000 in taxes for a $250000 house doesn’t mean the government takes your whole house and you get nothing.
They typically sell it at auction and you get the leftovers.
And that seems fair to you?
- Comment on Why do some say they own or have bought something that they technically haven't (e.g. domain names, expensive things, etc.)? 1 week ago:
Indeed, you are not understanding. I do not own or rent a home. So again I ask, why are you paying more taxes than me?
- Comment on Why do some say they own or have bought something that they technically haven't (e.g. domain names, expensive things, etc.)? 1 week ago:
Nobody is disputing the need for taxes or what their purpose is. The issue is that taxing a homestead is effectively a lease, even if not written as such.
It also begs the question, why are you being taxed more than me? We use the same roads, schools and services. Yet assuming you’re a homeowner you’re paying more for the same shit.

I guess a dollar amount could just be expected from every single person regardless of circumstance. Would that be better?
Yes, that would make far more sense to me than tying it to something arbitrary like land. Failure to pay should not result in homelessness. Especially after a lifetime to paying for said home.

Having to continue to pay for something that you “own” does not sound like ownership to many people.

The big one of course is home ownership, despite having to pay the government for the rest of your life.

They’re gonna be shipped off to GreenIand
- Comment on How are you feeling? 2 weeks ago:
tend to act unconsciously towards my own self-preservation and interest.
I don’t see that as a fault. One must take care of themselves first, then if possible, take on the burden of others.
Many people do the opposite and tend to everyone’s needs but their own. Then they fall apart at some point, never fulfilled.
You may have codependent friends or family like that skewing your perception of what’s best, causing you all this undue guilt.

Um, if that’s a cervix she’s gonna have some complications.
- Comment on How do you go about getting rid of things around your home/apartment? 2 weeks ago:
For sure apply that exception as you see fit 🙂 Some things aren’t intended for regular use, but you’re glad they’re there when the time comes.
- Comment on How do you go about getting rid of things around your home/apartment? 2 weeks ago:
Have I used it in 6 months?
If no, is it a tool? (keep all tools)
If no, is it worth my time to list/sell it? (eBay)
If no, throw it out or donate it.
- Comment on How the fuck do I find out where and when all these protests and rallies are happening? 3 weeks ago:
FYI, every single search you do on any major search engine is stored forever and can be used against you. I highly advise not using a search engine for anything that a fasc!st govemment may disagree with. It’s not paranoid when they’re actually watching…

Just because there’s a financial incentive doesn’t mean you should do something. This is a step or two below murber for proflt.

I was very impressed by that. It’s so rare to see a company actually give a shit about anyone.
- Comment on This whole "Sign in to prove you're not a bot" thing is pissing me off 4 weeks ago:
This is the way.
- Comment on Tried to order a part before the tariffs 4 weeks ago:
They actually got back with me and pointed me towards a US seller that they had shipped to before the tariffs went into effect. So I was able to buy it from them and dodge all that freedom we have at the border.
- Comment on Tried to order a part before the tariffs 5 weeks ago:
My theory is that they want to control the North-West Passage, which due to climate change will become a high traffic trade route. Something currently dominated by Panama (which he also wants). So they’re putting pressure on Canada now.
Greenland is in a similar situation but I think there may also be oil and such there as well.
