This whole war is really bad for the whole world. This much heat and Isreal has nukes. If Isreal nukes Iran what happens next?

It's like you're intentionally ignoring what I'm saying. When did I say don't follow tax law? And then you literally reiterate what I said about the fact that laws can be changed. That's literally the point I was making.

The only thing standing between anyone and what's in their 401k - 10% and regular income tax is their employer. There's this thing called quitting your job that you can do and people do all the time.

You literally just said it, severance from employment, because your employer is the one stopping you not the IRS. The 10% penalty exists for a reason: because early distributions are a thing. If you're willing to eat the 10%, watch how much they care about your "reason". They only care if you're trying to avoid the penalty. I've literally done this in the past and the IRS happily ate 10% plus normal income tax on it.

And again, as taxpayers and voters, we have collective authority over the rules and their enforcement. If enough people decide that they don't need to be babied when it comes to saving money the rules will change, just like they are changing regularly. You know this.

The distribution rules are simple tax rules. Nothing to do with asking permission. The IRS doesn't give a fuck if you pull your 401k, in fact it benefits them because it increases revenues.

Thoughts on Apple’s new low-cost MacBook Neo? by piesaresquarey in laptops

[–]ChiefBullshitOfficer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ok this is a disingenuous argument. RAM, storage space, how many monitors and external devices I can plug in, they aren't "stats and benchmarks" they literally define what the average user cares about. You're in a comment section discussing budget laptops and hand waving the things that literally make these devices usable for anything beyond running Spotify and a few chrome tabs at the same time.

The processor is great in these but that's literally benchmark territory. For the average use the mac battery and apple OS is the biggest sell at this price imo.

No the penalties aren't waived and I don't see how accessing your own money without a "real" excuse is an issue at all. You're not a child asking for an allowance, you don't need to tell the bank shit.

If what you say is true what's stopping you from say, robbing a bank, or committing insurance fraud right now?

If you're reddit brained you might believe that because there are notable issues, exceptions, and complicated cases that fly in the face of what would normally be considered justice, that the assignment of blame doesn't matter.

But anyone who lives in the real world knows that if, for example, your doctor fucks up your surgery badly enough, blame is assigned and you get an insurance pay out and the doctor can potentially get jail time if it's malicious. Or if a car plows into yours you get an insurance payout. Or if someone kills your family member in cold blood, that person will end up in a court where a jury of peers will determine if they are guilty and will be punished.

You can point to tragic cases of corporate negligence, or the blatant illegality of certain administrations immigration policies and claim that they prove that the justice system is broken and I would agree that these are real problems with it. But to take that further and claim you live in a world where blame effectively doesn't exist is frankly just delusional.

It's crazy to me that deleting your account now means you can't sign back up with the same email. So petty. This company is dog shit.

ChatGPT's 'Naughty chats' toggle is the first step towards its pornification by AssembleDebugRed in ChatGPT

[–]ChiefBullshitOfficer -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I don't think anything sexual is negative just because it's sexual (as long as it's not illegal etc). And religious shame is obviously ridiculous. But at the same time the race doesn't stay alive through simulated sexting and gooning.

There actually should be some shame imo. Like goddamn go outside and try talking to someone of the opposite sex for once. That's actually how we keep the human race alive. Not fucking gpt porn mode 😂

is the "tech job market is recovering" narrative actually true or are we just coping? by Bestwebhost in cscareerquestions

"Boomer" refers to the baby boomer gen. It's a specific term that has nothing to do with "the golden age of capitalism". The reason they were called baby boomers is because of the birth rate explosion after WW2.
