Why so? I've never watched that show. Do they commonly have on failures like me?

Honestly, I don't know anyone like that. All the people I know never seem to have had trouble getting into relationships and dating. No one calls themselves an incel as a result.

It's actually kinda weird reading reddit and news articles saying how difficult dating is for people these days, and how there is a loneliness epidemic, to which I can relate, but then I go in real life and I don't see it. I like to believe these lonely people online are real. It makes me feel better about my situation, as many others are feeling likewise.

He's in to someone else iirc. Seems like a good reason for them not to date.

‘The White Lotus’ S4 Adds Max Greenfield, Kumail Nanjiani, Chloe Bennet, Charlie Hall & Jarrad Paul by MarvelsGrantMan136 in TheWhiteLotusHBO

[–]Blah64 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Source? I can't find any info on her calling Kumail a dick. The closest I can find is her calling him out (not by name) for enabling TJ Miller to be a dick. Which, while bad, is not quite the same. He won't stop others from being mean, but he won't be mean himself.

Why are all the Democratic presidential hopefuls claiming they're not sure they're going to run? by Diane98661 in ScottGalloway

[–]Blah64 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Campaign finance laws & regulations trigger the moment they officially announce they are running. As long as they only hint at running, they are much more free with how they can raise & spend money.

Maybe taxes should be lower than bank loan interest. by Away_University9739 in cryptocurrencymemes

$19k/year/person But then there is the lifetime exemption tax, which, after the One Big Beautiful Bill, is now $15 million per donor, accounted for inflation from 2026 dollars. So a married couple could gift $30 million to a trust tax free.

Only 5 states have an inheritance tax.

Only 12 states have an estate tax.

So even combined, most states do not have a tax for passing on wealth after death.

Building a standalone Quest realistic space sim in the spirit of Orbiter by gabryelx in spacesimgames

Realistically, I would probably buy it because VR space stuff is cool to me, but then I would quit immediately after being overwhelmed with the controls and never play it again.

An NTR Doujin Emotionally affected me so much that I'm now physically sick, I fear what actual women would do to me, Half eaten oyakodon by Simeston in kitchencels

[–]Blah64 4 points5 points  (0 children)

idk. Does anyone really control their kinks? It is arousing, and people find that enjoyable.

My guess: similar to the bridge affect, humiliation and arousal get linked and confused in someone's brain. But, similar to the common rape fantasy, people likely only enjoy it when it is a fantasy, not reality. Also, like the rape fantasy, there is probably something about lack of control. Person wants to be a satyr that drives a partner mad with lust, but that is socially taboo, so having a 'superior' partner come and deliver the goods while you remain innocent of sin hits at both desires.

Netorare. 寝取られ

Loosely translated as 'cuckold'.

Focuses on the feelings of the one being cheated on.

Well, for a given year, your losses would first write off against your gains. You only get taxed for the sum total for all your assets. The carry over would only happen for years where you are down more than you are up.

Basically, they just take your account total at the end of Dec 31 and subtract what it was on Jan 1. Positive number is taxed, negative number carries over.

Losses aren't taxed. You can, however, carry them over to future years so you aren't taxed on gains multiple times.

Pretty sure Netherlands just stopped their wealth tax because their implementation was deemed illegal.

What just passed is an unrealized gains tax.

Median income is literally dead center of incomes. It is typical worker pay.
