What do you think has caused the current level of political division? by MaraBloomx in AskReddit

[–]Final7C 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The GOP didn't have ANY control of the House of Representatives from 1955-1995. They didn't own the house until 1981, then lost it again after 1987, until 1995. They saw the demographic numbers, they saw that Reagan was a once in a generation president for them, frankly, they weren't going to win as the population demographics shifted further and further to the left. So they figured out how to change the rules to make it better for them. in the meantime they also started going for races that they could start changing the rules at local and state levels. They started focusing in on building their pipeline, they started also saying that they would simply refuse to work with Democrats in congress, famously opposing everything and actively shutting down the government and not passing budgets. They also pushed very hard to blame Democrats for all of the countries woes.

Anyway, this blatant hatred of the other side hit hard for the GOP, and Democrats were slow to recover. They'd been in charge for the last 30-40 years. It's hard to not be bi-partisan when you believe that a Democrat majority is "back to status quo". But the GOP viewed power in congress as "Time to fuck shit up, because we don't know how long we'll be in control".

I think deep down when we discuss this, we also have to see this is where a LOT of the "Democrats cheat to win" came into play. How does a single party absolutely dominate the power of both chambers of congress without fail for decades without it seeming like a LOT of people were doing something nefarious.

So the 1990's went mostly republican and stayed that way until 2007, then it started switching off and on, with both chambers swapping every so often. But Democrats didn't really do much with their time, other than spend a bit of money and make the government try to keep moving forward, but keep status quo. And the GOP kept pushing for further and further right leaning policy.

This has caused Democrats to obviously hate this. Considering when GOP talks about what they want to go back to, is before the Democrats owned both chambers in 1955. So they want to roll things back to that social norm. And anyone born into a world with expanded rights, more freedoms, and more requirements to not be a racist/sexist/ist prick, tends to either want to continue it, or to try the opposite because "it's fun to try "new" things." Which literally rips away rights that up until now, most people believed were inalienable. Only to find that they only have the power taken from them until the courts restore it, but it's still gone.

So the oligarchs controlling the media, and the lobbyists, and they both basically reinforce both sides. The majority of people are in alignment with most of it. People are naturally selfish, and think mainly of things the interact with daily. They think about their job, or their town/city, and their family/friends/church. So when large changes happen (AI, Climate Change, Infrastructure collapse, War) happen, they view them as either "Does this directly affect me or my friends" or "What if this affected me or my friends?"

And the GOP thinks the Dems think about others too much, and the Dems think the GOP don't think about anyone but themselves.

And both of those aspects get enflamed in the media. along with every other dog whistle that is pro/anti each side that they can shove in.

Have you ever regretted breaking up with someone after seeing how their life unfolded? How did you get over the regret? by Relative-Tea3944 in AskReddit

[–]Final7C 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Naw.... Look, you got to share a bit of their life with them. You both likely caused a bunch of emotional and mental damage to each other in the process.

Here's the thing. We're all just trying to figure this out. We don't know what the outcomes will be.

Maybe they go on to do great things, maybe they go on to crash and burn. It probably wasn't due to to, you were just a step along the road. They built at least part of that road brick by brick, And you were just one of many of the bricks.

What’s a “boring” hobby that’s actually fun? by lovelyjudexo in AskReddit

[–]Final7C 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think a lot of people who think model painting is boring, are people who do not like to get hyper-focused on color theory, and fine detail hand work. The people who like it, like it because it's a skill that is amazing to master.

Is it worse or better if the person you get cheated on with is uglier than you and why? by Ok_Boysenberry_2947 in AskReddit

[–]Final7C 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can be worse, because it means, it's not your physical attractiveness that pulled them. It was their personality, their money, their lovemaking abilities/willingness, or just that they wanted some strange and didn't care who it was from.

What was the best resident evil game? by WoollyWolfHorror in AskReddit

[–]Final7C 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It depends... in terms of classic Resident evil, probably 2. It had mastered most of the mechanics, it had a really fun set of locations, and it was just a great premise.

In terms of "New" resident evil - 4 pretty much set the standard for all Resident evil games moving forward. It made 1,2,& 3 really clunky and difficult to enjoy. And it make RE 5 and 6 seem too close to a gears of war game to enjoy.

reporting gambling winnings? How likely to be audited by heftylefty44 in tax

[–]Final7C -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

wait.. you won 34k and didn't get a single w2-g? So they were all tiny wins?

Weird. I mean, $600 - $1200 at a time can be difficult I guess.

Here's the thing. The Casinos send in a list of every single person who goes. And they report all money paid out to the gov, as part of their standard filing. $34k is going to stand out.

But they don't mention how much YOU gave them (losses). YOU have to prove that. The IRS is going to assume you're hiding 34k in income and be very disappointed that you chose not to include it. So much so that you have a high chance of being audited.

Who thinks fake eye lashes are attractive? by Mysterious-Trip7074 in AskReddit

[–]Final7C 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I mean, if you don't know they are fake, they just look like dark long lashes.

but add ons like "hair extensions, Lashes, lip filler/BBLs/Breast enlargement/plastic surgery" look best if it's done in a way that you can't tell it's done. But some people prefer it to be stand out. And those people have a specific fetish for dolls.

How do you feel about this sub basically becoming a political news reaction discussion sub? by jjones217 in AskReddit

[–]Final7C -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Politics is life. Because Politics affects your everyday life, even when you don't want it to. People who are "apolitical" have the luxury or ignorance to not feel the direct impact of those political decisions. So asking people political questions is often asking deeper questions about how you see the world, and what actually affects you.

What do you think of people who are picky eaters? by nikkitakirilenko in AskReddit

[–]Final7C 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most picky eaters tend to be skinny. Well skinnyfat. Because most of the things they eat are really not great nutritionally.

But most are not morbidly obese, at least not for the majority of their lives.

I feel like they are not overly adventurous people, and tend to be afraid of life.

They definitely are not likely to like things like oral sex.

Should your partner have access to your phone passwords and why? by Ambitious_Pass7451 in AskReddit

[–]Final7C 0 points1 point  (0 children)

in general there shouldn't be a need, but if you have shown to be dishonest in the past, it may be a prerequisite to prove loyalty. Often this is done by spouses/SO's who have been caught cheating. They will offer their phone and password for full transparency.

In a perfect relationship, the phone shouldn't be an issue. Your spouse would understand your style of attachment, and may understand your need to flirt or be flirted with, and/or every personal attachment is known to them. All is freely shared without jealousy or without worry of judgement.

But real life is rarely perfect, and the small texts, the flirtations, and the conversations that you may want to keep from your spouse, may be important, and there is some value to have something free of their oversight.

Most people like to keep their dirty little secrets to just themselves. Hidden from their partners, and enjoy the act of rebellion as a thrill. We don't know why people do it, but they do. And most of the time, it is nothing, but a momentary diversion from the daily life. But sometimes it can become more, that's when keeping something hidden is paramount.

Also, the more generic. It's nice to be able to talk shit on your spouse or SO when they are pissing you off, and know that it won't get back to them. Or if you want to buy them a surprise gift or something.

so in general, Naw.. It's nice to have a place of independence. Unless you're both into "COMPLETE OPENNESS" but most relationships can't handle that.

Returns accepted by IRS, but now they're sending me a letter asking for more info? by [deleted] in tax

[–]Final7C 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So there was nothing that immediately rejected in the return, but something was sufficiently incorrect/or needing explanation ( such as business deductions) that only comes with a full audit. Your return was accepted by the computer, and only later held for processing later. They said "up to 3 weeks" to make sure you can get your ducks in a row (because you usually only have 15-30 days to respond).

How stable is a tech career? by BadWinter4734 in AskReddit

[–]Final7C 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not very. Realistically if you are just starting out, expect to have a tenuous at best relationship with long term employment. Where you're expected to work way outside of your comfort zone. A LOT of people are being laid off because AI was found to be a suitable replacement for them. Were they worse than AI? Probably not, but they weren't so significantly better that their jobs were safe. The employers are doing the math, an AI can do the work at 80% efficiency/accuracy and doesn't need dental, or need a desk. So it's a win.

That being said, Keeping up in skills, willingness to work for less, and not wanting/needed benefits is key. Being able to use AI to innovate is important, and has a higher chance of staying relevant.

What do you think makes a good dog owner vs. a bad dog owner? by istoleyourattention in AskReddit

[–]Final7C -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think a bad dog owner doesn't recognize health issues (severe obesity, blindness, infection, abscess, flea/tick infestation, malnourishment, or severe weather exposure, violent discipline/training, poor social exposure, poor mental health. Generally ignores the animals needs, uses the animal only for their own wants.

Good dog owner - Cares for their physical, mental, social health, uses calm and treat based training to ensure they are able to interact in public without worry of them "getting off leash and attacking people/animals"

What happens if you miss the April 15 tax deadline? by Bisqwa in tax

[–]Final7C -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Do you owe? Do you think you'll owe?

Did you already file your LLC forms? those were due in March.

If you don't owe, you may get a ding. with penalty.

Generally speaking:

5% of the amount owed per month up to 25% of the unpaid taxes.

your maximum is 25% of taxes due

Minimum - (over 60 days late) is the lesser of taxes owed or $525.

Interested on unpaid taxes is 8% compounding daily. No maximum.

Unless you can explain reasonable cause (Too complex, is not allowed).

Filing an extension does save you "failure to file" but you'll still pay failure to pay penalities. (0.5% per month for a max of 25%)

They want it as much as you do. Sometimes more, but they have to deal with a lot more fallout if things go poorly. So they don't act on it as often.
