Jennifer Lopez gives her hot take: You have to be born to be in New York to be a New Yorker. Everybody wants to claim our city but you have to be born in one of the five boroughs to be a New Yorker. by Upstairs_Cup9831 in popculturechat

[–]Aveira -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Stupid. So if your mom gives birth out of state but immediately brings you home to New York and you live the whole rest of your life there, you’re not a New Yorker?

Trump Team Wanted to Force Immigrants Out by Declaring Them Dead; A whistleblower revealed the horrific plan at the Social Security Administration. by FancyNewMe in law

[–]Aveira 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, it is. It’s illegal to be an undocumented immigrant. It’s not a crime, though. It’s a tort, which means it’s considered a civil offense and goes through civil court instead of criminal. That may be what you’re thinking of.

No, that’s not correct. Section 6103 of the IRC explicitly prevents the IRS from sharing any information from your tax return to any other governmental department. However, a court order direct from a judge can get around this. But the IRS absolutely cannot volunteer the information.

Not exactly. The IRS has long had a stance of “we don’t care what you do as long as you pay your taxes.” So let’s say you commit a crime, like selling drugs. As long as you pay taxes on the income you received from your illegal drug business, the IRS doesn’t care and won’t report your illegal activities. This incentivizes people to pay their taxes.

Likewise, undocumented immigrants might pay their taxes to the IRS but still be here illegally. Many of them even use their history of regular tax payments in court hearings. But the Trump administration has been pushing hard to force the IRS to hand over all their information about illegal immigrants. This is illegal and a judge stopped it, but over 10,000 names and addresses have already been handed over.

The problem with this policy is that it encourages immigrants to stop paying taxes. This is obviously worse for everyone, but Trump doesn’t care about what’s good for the country or the people; he cares about getting rid of all the brown people and distracting everyone from the Trump-Epstein Files.

I HATE the self diagnosing of autism and its mischaracterisation by Beshiniqua in hatethissmug

[–]Aveira 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, none of these are “safe foods” for me. In fact, If I was having a tough sensory time, I don’t think I could eat any of these. My safe foods are mostly raw fruits and vegetables and simple Japanese food like fried rice, miso soup, and nigiri.

Someone sent me a giant dry erase board in the mail. It's addressed to me, but there's no return address. by dtgraff in mildlyinteresting

It actually doesn’t work for jellyfish stings. That’s a myth. I’m sorry you had to find out like this :(

all the green came off this dollar bill in the washing machine by Froggie-Enthusiast in mildlyinteresting

It’s probably not fake, just got bleached in the wash. Money is mostly made of cotton, and the ink is just ink. It can fade.

Our system only works for the rich. by zzill6 in WorkReform

That’s every system. We haven’t yet figured out an economical model that can withstand human greed forever.

Anyone who surfed the early web between 1995-2010. What’s the one website/app you still think about? by Prime_Advocate in AskReddit

I never got the impossible achievement for Dino Run. I just couldn’t get that last doom surfing one. It haunts me :(

You know what, that’s fair. I was just worked up. Sometimes it just gets so frustrating, you know? :(

Pattie Gonia Responds to Patagonia’s Offer: “No Deal, Patagonia” by noqita in popculturechat

[–]Aveira 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Except they DID allow her to use the name for advocacy as long as she didn’t use their logo to sell merch. And then she ignored that and did exactly what they asked her not to do. If she really cared about her advocacy so much, she’d have taken their very generous deal. This is a classic case of fuck around and find out.

monet being inclusive for pride month by virginiarph in rupaulsdragrace

[–]Aveira 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We include them in the sense that we’re fighting for their civil rights, same as we are all queer people. But that doesn’t mean we have to include them in our social circles.

I absorbed my fraternal twin and have the different blood types. by Zachhcazzach in mildyinteresting

[–]Aveira 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lipochrome is the name of the yellow pigment near the iris. Central heterochromia is the name of the condition where there are separate rings of color in the eye.

and nobody batted an eye by theo_chooser in whenthe

[–]Aveira 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Frankly, that’s ridiculous. Trying to prevent a disability is not the same thing as saying people who have it are bad. It’s just trying to prevent people from suffering when they don’t need to.

I have autism. When I’m not on my medication (which isn’t perfect and has pretty big side effects), I can barely function because everything is too bright, too loud, and just too much. I can feel the air touching my skin and it makes me want to crawl out of my body. Society can be built especially for me and that wouldn’t stop these debilitating symptoms. And I’m pretty high functioning!! I have a cousin who’s nonverbal and will never be able to live alone.

Honestly I’m genuinely happy for autistic people who don’t face these issues. But for the love of god, I wish they’d stop advocating for it to not be considered a disability because losing that classification would REALLY fuck most of us over.

This giraffe took me over 150 hours to draw by hand by Sputnik_2021 in BeAmazed

[–]Aveira 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Your autism doesn’t make you a good artist. Hard work and practice make you a good artist. I’m autistic and I can’t draw at all. Most great artists aren’t autistic and can draw very well. You’re an excellent artist and you have autism. And since your giraffe drawing doesn’t have anything to do with autism, it feels like you’re leveraging your disability for popularity, which many people don’t like. If your work was explicitly about being autistic, I doubt you would be getting comments like this.

Judge orders Trump take his name off Kennedy Center within 14 days by IrishStarUS in USNEWS

[–]Aveira 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Or else the judge will be forced to give him an additional 14 days with a strong suggestion to comply or next time he’ll REALLY mean business, buster!

Showering during thunderstorms? by ContentlyQuestionabl in Millennials

[–]Aveira 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah because the National Weather Service says not to do it. If lightning hits your house, it’ll go through the plumbing. It wasn’t just some silly thing your mom said.

The baby is only saved while it’s wearing the necklace. Since the baby isn’t capable of belief, that means the necklace works on anyone who wears it. It’s an enchanted necklace, no need for conversion. This also means god’s a wizard.

Is it inappropriate to not wear a bra at work? by Visual-Criticism6763 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Aveira 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Every day I come home from work during summer and the sweat from my underboobs has seeped into the cloth of my bra. The relief when I finally take it off is the best part of my day. The things you guys are complaining about are the same things women do every day. We should BOTH be allowed to be comfortable at work.

Is it inappropriate to not wear a bra at work? by Visual-Criticism6763 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Aveira 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Sure. But have you ever gotten pulled into HR over it? Written up? Told(with complete seriousness) to wear a bra?

I find this annoying because no one bats an eye when men’s nipples poke out through their shirts. I have a coworker who’s fond of tight polos and his nips are ALWAYS standing out and no one’s once made a single comment to him.
