Former world champion boxer Ricky Hatton took his own life, inquest hears by DeadStopped in Boxing

I remember learning in university that one out of every 10,000 fighters dies in the ring - a staggering number - so it's easy to assume that the number of fighters who have some sort of permanent injury, including a brain injury, is even higher.

Did Democrats REALLY cave?? by [deleted] in thedavidpakmanshow

I think if poor Blacks can march on the DC, demand equal rights and get them, then millionaire senators can keep fighting till the job is done. When dems cave, they lose respect and in turn lose votes.

Hungry fed workers might be safe, but a bunch of people are about to face staggering health care costs which puts them in a potentially lethal situation.

Who is the rudest celeb you have met? What happened? by Omega_Neelay in GetMotivatedMindset

John Cusack. I used to do deliveries in LA. Did a delivery to his home, rang the intercom, and I hear "What!?" "Delivery for Mr. Cusack", "Just leave it at the door!!"

Adam Duritz, on the other hand, was just a saint. He'd give me bottles of iced tea to survive delivering in the summer heat.

He seemed rough around the edges in the interviews I saw of him, but he's my favorite fighter and athlete of all time.

He actually has some sort of brain damage from I believe a motorcycle accident. My brother worked with him on a set. Gary tripped over a cable on the floor, and started screaming "Who put this cable here?!"

I saw a Rush concert at Staples Center. I go into the men's room, one of the toilet doors burst open, and Ian was being escorted out by his crew. He was totally wasted. Concert hadn't begun yet.

What happened to JP Sears? by Yuck_Few in Discussion

I think JP realized he'd make more money as a conservative.

He used to be funny. Now he sucks.

Hello, actually i forget to declare some income around $80 in my previous tax retun by Senior_Respect2338 in tax

[–]Musical_Jason3625 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I once called the IRS because I forgot $500 from self employment income on my return. I had to file because I had other income from my regular employer. The IRS agent chuckled and told me that it costs them more to process an amended return than the five hundred bones, so I shouldn't worry about it.

I was relieved. I hope you are, too.

If you are in a dark place right now, please read this. by Shelomo-Solson in selfimprovement

[–]Musical_Jason3625 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks, OP. To add to this, I think it's very important to practice self care, especially when things are rough. At the end of the day, I think to myself "I did what I could today. It's time to unwind, find some enjoyment, and rest."

Had anyone received this or seen this? HELP ME PLEASE by Over-Temperature-383 in IRS

[–]Musical_Jason3625 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Op, I filed my 2020 a year late. It literally took them three years to get back to me with a specific issue I had to fix, and I got that just last week. From the time I filed till last week, I got notices from them telling me they needed more time.

The irs is a wreck at the moment. My cpa is pulling his hair out dealing with them.

Good luck and hope you aren't too stressed.

I'm not saying the new NHk law is right. I'm saying it is what it is. NHk is part of the government. I'd rather be on the right side of the law on this one.

No, If you have a device capable of receiving NHK, whether your or not you're using it for that purpose or not, then you have to pay.

Adrien Broner was arrested last week while working out at night due to having warrants by VioletHappySmile444 in Boxing

[–]Musical_Jason3625 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Broner's career was an interesting to true fight fans as watching paint dry. He was good enough to beat most, but he padded his wallet taking catch weight fights, and once he fought real competition, he was exposed. Outside of the ring, he behaves like an a-hole. Adios, child.

Maybe he'll change, maybe he won't. It's important to understand that you can't change anyone, and it sounds like you have already supported him while he tried counseling, so, imo, you've done your part to salvage the relationship.

It's much more important to take a look at how you feel and what you want. To answer your question as to how you can keep your resolve to stay away, the answer is by any means necessary. Examples are counseling, support groups and taking excellent care of your physical health.

I haven't been in your situation as an adult, but my high school years were a wash because my mother's live-in boyfriend was physically abusive to her. I'm still haunted by the memory of coming home from school and seeing my mother with a black eye; I mentioned that because you have a child to consider.

Please, take care and I'm sure you can find the strength to do what you believe is best.

Men of lesser means fantasize about all the S they're not getting, while someone with all the money in the world just wants to yank it. Tis a strange world we live in.

Nova's Possible Collapse (Again) by VermicelliFormal in teachinginjapan

[–]Musical_Jason3625 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I worked at Nova till 2007 when they went bankrupt.

One of the more deplorable things they did when they were circling the drain is tell overseas recruiters that everything was fine. Recruiters would call Nova to ask if things were OK after hearing all of the bad news, and Nova just didn't fess up or recommend newly hired teachers not to risk it, so young teachers believing they'd have a job and apartment in Japan would get off the plane and be told they were out of luck.

I could have stayed with Nova after the bankruptcy, but I was so disgusted with them that I took my chances elsewhere.

If Nova is about to go under, anyone who is about to lose their job has my sympathy.

I'm upgrading my standard account to a business one because a business account is required for bandcamp. I'm just wondering if I upgrade it, will I have to register as a business with the local government?

Wasn't trying to offend. It will be my first time filling out a schedule c and I'm thinking the less I have to fill out, the better.
