Doubt there is one. The hard truth is that most Americans’ taxes are pretty simple and straightforward. We can stop pretending that copying some boxes from a W2 and a 1099 is difficult.

I mean, personally I wish we’d stop pretending that the IRS isn’t already fully aware of what you owe and could just do the filling for you, like in other countries, but until Grover Norquist fucks off forever we’re stuck where we are.

WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange won the right to challenge a British court’s decision to extradite him to the U.S. to face espionage charges

Emphasis mine, since the headline is poorly worded. He didn’t win an appeal, the court agreed that he can appeal. He still could be shipped off to the US and then eventually <blacksite prison name not found>.

I’d say it’s fine to be an investment for individuals and families. You should be able to at least break even on something you owned for 3 decades that’s still in good shape.

But that’s all. No LLCs or S Corps or any of that shit. People should own homes!

It’s very likely the GOP will win control of the Senate, and if they do McConnell would sooner die than let Biden even consider nominating someone.

Still gonna vote for Biden though, because if Trump wins the Conservative justices will all retire at once and they’ll nominate 30-year-olds to fill in. I don’t want 60+ more years of a Conservative court majority!

Even if you hate Biden because of Israeli support

i.e. don’t be a single-issue voter.

Despite concerns about accuracy and potential misuse, facial recognition technology seems poised for a surge in popularity. California-based restaurant CaliExpress by Flippy now allows customers to pay for their meals with a simple scan of their face, showcasing the potential of facial payment technology.

Oh boy, I can’t wait to be charged for someone else’s meal because they look just enough like me to trigger a payment.

Bibi has clearly demonstrated he doesn’t give 2 shits what Biden thinks. We have 3 branches with equal power and one of them keeps inviting Netanyahu to give speeches. Why should he listen to Biden when Congress approves military spending regardless?

Can we please stop adding “After 28 years” to every article and video about this game?

It’s not like he’s gotten away with it multiple times or anything.

Toddlers don’t learn anything if you don’t correct bad behavior on the spot.

Trump won’t have that problem because he won’t care how complicit he is.

That first part shouldn’t be too surprising. They’re obviously fans of his if they’re going to see his standup.

If Trump wins, they’ll certify faster than they’ve ever done anything in their entire lives.

If Biden wins, you’ll see a public temper tantrum bigger and with more lawyers than you ever thought possible.

The local vote, which was eventually certified under pressure from state officials…

and further down:

“The Constitution and Michigan Election Law do not authorize boards of county canvassers to refuse to certify election results based on claims made by third parties of alleged election irregularities, or a general desire to conduct election investigations,” the letter says. Failure to certify would mean that the clerk would have to personally deliver all records including ballots and voting machines to Michigan state canvassers — all at the county’s own expense. The price tag, the letter adds pointedly, will be “expansive.”

Spoiler alert. It’s all fun and games until you actually have to put in work. Shouting random crap you read off Facebook doesn’t work in the real world.

And yet it’s still valued at nearly $50 per share

There’s some old Reddit posts like this too. Advice threads where the person who posted a solution went back and overwrote their comments during the boycott last year. I know why they did it but we still lost some information in the grand scheme of things.

Keyword searches stopped being useful years ago. Every site owner stuffed every single word they could think of into that field making the whole thing effectively useless.

It’s like how they’re now returning results stuffed to the brim with AI-written crap. Google can only show what’s on the web and that’s all the web is now.

It’s bosses who are sick of Teams meetings. “You just can’t collaborate like you can in an office setting” is what I heard most during my job hunt.

We saw it at Blizzard but the woman they hired left within a year because she was paid less than her male counterpart.

Even if he wins he won’t accept any states he lost that he thought he should’ve won. I could absolutely see a situation where Trump sues one of the Secretaries of State and tries to pull all the same shit he did in Georgia (which he has yet to be punished for, assuming he ever will be)

They’re just using antisemitism as a convenient excuse to regulate schools further. Dragging admins before Congress is not what Jews are asking for right now.

How many additional people sign up when these password sharing crackdowns happen?

Several million

Which every company saw, and that’s why they’re all gonna do this too.

It’s not difficult at all, these companies just have no reason to do it that way. They force you to agree to their terms before you can use the website at all, which means they’re in a much better position to make demands. We can’t counter with anything, it’s just “agree that we own this copy of your content”.

And most of us agree to it because we have no way of knowing that someday our content might actually be worth something.

The ultimate issue is exactly what you said; phones exist. I’m not carrying another voice assistant around when both Siri and Google Assistant can be installed on my phone.

Based on MKBHD’s review this whole product category definitely screams “solution in search of a problem”

Once you’re charged with a crime that’s all some people think of when your name comes up. Even worse that some family members get dragged down by it too.

And all thanks in this instance to John Ashcroft and the W administration 🤦‍♂️
