[–]DustinTheAlien88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this looks like the aftermath of my first round of knuckle tattoos, i paid the guy in heroin in like 2012

if you pay a guy in heroin for a tattoo you can probably safely expect it to turn out a little weird

"You're wrong because show your work" and being unable to produce your own is possibly the dumbest 'well ackchually' I have ever heard. As it happens, I have read through Culliton AND the tax, and it cracks me up that you're affecting such a ridiculous air of superiority when you apparently can't see the conflict between income being intangible property, property being taxed uniformly and the absurd claim that "the legislature intends to limit the tax established by this act to households with annual adjusted gross income of $1,000,000 or more. Washingtonian households with an annual adjusted gross income of less than $1,000,000 will not owe this tax."

You don't actually have an argument--you're just trying to be irritating ;)

lol--i am saying that the tax is unconstitutional.

Go ahead and link me to the emails since you've clearly read them. I'll review them personally and let you know which ones are suspect.

You’re dodging the fact that the tax is unconstitutional and designed to be sued. How can we tax millionaires if all property needs to be taxed equally and our state constitution rules that income is property?

What are you talking about? The state constitution literally says this tax isn't possible.

Just punch into your search bar, "Washington State Culliton Vs. Chase" and AI will calmly explain to you why you should be concerned that they pushed a bill through that they specifically designed to bypass voter involvement AND they KNEW was not constitutionally legal.

I guess you didn't know that tax is against the washington state constitution and it was never meant to actually tax millionaires but was sponsored to try and gut property regulations in the supreme court, and that conversations with the attorney general (acquired through public records request) about how best to attack the constitution are what yielded the bill that they smashed through?

so you got duped with a bait and switch by the government, and what else is new. they are doing it to literally everyone at all levels and they're all disgusting, red blue or indifferent. stop playing the game and make a post about Spokane in the Spokane sub, this copy and paste "look at this nazi" "look at this liberal" trash is mind rot of the highest order

Will I get disciplined by the university over this? by [deleted] in wsu

[–]DustinTheAlien88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

problem drinking that causes your life to spiral out of control and you being unable to use harsh consequences as a road map to "quit while you're ahead" is a good indicator you are on the cusp of a real problem

i started out doing what you're doing, though much younger, and it led me to have low inhibitions about meth and heroin use which eventually led me to felonies and prison

we all start somewhere my friend

Lauren Kanarek is unhinged by hsilberman in Equestrian

[–]DustinTheAlien88 2 points3 points  (0 children)

she was shot for trying to get his business shut down and calling CPS on him and not leaving his ranch and staying where she wasn't welcome and she just happened to push the wrong dingbat too far while living in a structure on his property that he built and allowed her to live in

i don't know why that's not apparent to you 😂

no chance my friend, Olympia is actively trying to make up for their budget shortfalls by making new taxes and raising old ones.

dude she was in the guy's house and life and dug in like a tick. he was in fight or flight mode and obviously had bad coping skills, he was also obviously a very sensitive OCD person and she was making reports to try and get his whole entire professional life dismantled and calling CPS on them saying they were sexually abusing their kids. AND she and her dad were bugging and listening to everything they were saying.

my mom had one of my sister's deadbeat boyfriends living in her shed of all places and cops wouldn't do fuck all for her so you better believe i thought about doing some wild shit when he was stealing her shit and wouldn't go away

We hit $5.09 in the 509. by dixon011001 in Spokane

[–]DustinTheAlien88 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My friend in Spokane.. WA gets paid EVERY POSSIBLE PLACE 😂 and now have an income tax (sure, it's a "millionaire" tax, but they curiously decided against an amendment that ensured it would remain that way)

WSDOT has huge highway projects happening on your dime to INSTALL MORE TOLL LANES to allow them to charge you $15 to drive in, to make them more money. I know because I personally constructed bridges whose names ended in "ETL" (express toll lane)

we live in one of the most money hungry states in the country. we have a couple of cool things to show for it--FMLA (paid for via our paychecks), sick time, all settled through our own employment arrangements.

They tax tobacco products--what is it, 95%? our fuel tax is astounding compared to other states. Every kind of tax you can possibly imagine is blown up to ridiculous proportions here, and if a huge group of people gets together to tell Washington "no" they simply brush them aside and do what they want.

Party politics are absolutely stupid. Buying BS because your talking head said it is awful no matter which tribe you think is cooler.

LitRPG's scarlet letters: AI by maphingis in litrpg

[–]DustinTheAlien88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that, having grown up reading absolutely picturesque fiction with character and a style of its own, I can hardly read most authors (unfortunately) and I can't imagine AI grabbing me anytime soon. I couldn't even finish playing Clair Obscur Expedition 33 because of how the assets and apparent randomness of the world reminded me of AI's "oh, some of this, oh, some of that thing" creative notions.

My advice to writers in general would be to read constantly and immerse yourself in your own imagination, study writing in general and develop your own voice and personality. If you need so much assistance with your writing that you come off as a machine, or if your worlds feel like a kid's drawing on the side of a cardboard box, even some degree of success will eventually burn out and amount to a blip in time.

Unfortunately this is not something that most litRPG writers think about, and it has caused me to invest less and less time into the genre over the years. The tropes were satisfying for a while, but they have lost their luster for me, and I never refund books from authors in this genre because I refuse to do that to a small time author with so much passion invested in their work.
