Loathsome and disingenuous? The same meme/premise was met with 7 pos reps and humorous applause (just 10 posts or so after the last cactusflintheas post so had he wanted to be disingenuously, as you say, offended he could have been), on the lol thread. My only error appears to being the opposite of disingenuous, which is being serious and starting a conversation about that seriousness, in a room where a few very intolerant and ignorant people (just a few bad apples) can’t help but to pity themselves and get angry all the dang time and go on deep neg witch hunts.

70 or 80 of those negs were from Cactusflinthead and going deep into posting history, which is ironic considering he’s complaining about GRU doing the same to him 🤷‍♂️

I guess so-- Tim Cook is prudently staying above this particular fray. As someone mentioned on the last page, I can imagine him being a gracious host to Elon, walking him around the estate and then pausing at some point out of earshot of sycophants and hanger-ons and EA's and dropping the nice guy routine as he whispers menacingly, "Cut out the wise guy B.S. or I will crush you. I will destroy you. This is your last warning." Then he quickly smiles again and signals for someone to come bring out the Avenue Foch 2017 because, as the weather has turned unseasonably delightful, let's have lunch out on the veranda shall we?

A few curse words and suggestive language. Enough to where we let our teen watch it but not the tween. YMMV. That said I watched the first episode with, and really enjoyed it in a non-creepy way.

Apple has resumed buying ad space on twitter. Tim Apple crisis averted. Like I said, just look at Qatar if you have any naivety left about corporations being whores for the business gain versus caring much about political pov's. https://www.reuters.com/technology/amazon-restart-advertising-twitter-platfomer-reporter-2022-12-04/

Thank you I was trying to put my finger on that song!

Didn't realize most people didn't like Ben & Skin until this thread. I thought they were universally liked (besides me).

I was hit by a baseball bat in a fight once. Does not feel good the next day.

I guess that is the source of the frustration. Atlas cannot shrug. Also, did you know the $600 threshold is relatively new? The $600 threshold was introduced in the Inflation Reduction Act back in 2021 Before this year, the threshold was at least 200 transactions that totaled over $20,000

You want to co-charter one with me? Also I should change the title to "Defend the IRS" based on the sentiment of the community here. I really misread the room.

You been searching or streaming the movie Hancock?

I've come around to hate the billionaires and want to tax them to death. That's growth for me. But I've also not seen enough to leave the middle class alone. We are like soil that's been overworked and lack nitrogen. Give us a cycle or two to get healthy before you rip us up with your thrashers again and take our first fruits and give them away. I guess I should have focused more on the lamentation of the middle class then a focus on the IRS but that tweet is what stirred in me these feelings. I can see that I'm alone on this board of feeling this way, which of course means that I'm wrong.

The point is that now, ostensibly, there are hounds who are going to ensure that you pay and report that petty cash payment so the government can get it's net $28 proceeds. Resources and money that could be going instead to harassing the wealthy. Congrats Middle Class-- we played ourselves.

Everyone on this website save maybe the Chicago guy who was bought out by the PE firm and got his Rolls Royce stolen in Chicago is closer to a homeless person than a Trump or Biden. Heck, half of us are a year or two without income and we would be homeless, so I agree.

Which party or economic philosophy prescribes taxing the rich a lot and the poor on government hand outs only, but leaving the middle class mostly alone? I want to join that club. It's not the GQP It's not the Dems Maybe it's The Forward Party.
