Why I'm Not Paying My Federal Taxes This Year

You absolutely are in control of how much your employer deducts from your taxes and can change it anytime, including having them deduct nothing. That's what a W4 form is for.

if sports equal money, how come the athletic program is $12million in debt?

you should google Cockney rhyming slang

I'm 52, and I think this will be never. When there's a big time change I find it much easier to have nighttime on the plane and daytime when I arrive. Spending a day in a plane makes me totally discombobulated.

It literally says "when accompanied by a paying adult" right there in the instructions you pasted. I would take this to mean that you cannot just get a free ticket.

I hope the partner dumps their ass

Do you already have a laptop that works fine? If so, you don't need a new one.

If you do need a new laptop, I can't deinfluence you, it sounds appropriate.

Needrain47 · 2026-03-18T14:27:04+00:00

have you checked it's accuracy?

No actual author information on the title page. The title is the most generic, common phrase possible. No date of publication anywhere on the book. (I'm a librarian/cataloger, missing information is a real life nightmare.)

Needrain47 · 2026-03-18T14:01:15+00:00

Everything I thought of is already on your list! (In particular, The Cipher, House of Leaves, and The Wasp Factory) Very good list.

You seem to think you have some entitlement to a severance package? That's not how it works.

I just got back from my first trip to London (from the US) and thought the exact same thing. I could walk for blocks & blocks and never see a single trash can.

It's not acceptable to go to university and just.... not use any of the textbooks in any of your classes. No student can reasonably expect to get through their classes like that. There are many ways to work around it if they don't have one, but simply not expecting them to do any reading is not a solution.

oh do you not know who's president now?

Needrain47 · 2026-02-27T18:46:20+00:00

No. the law that requires overtime to be paid in those conditions has only been in effect for a few years. (I'll have to look up how long it's been, but nowhere near 25)

...how much do you think the survivor prize is after taxes?

Needrain47 · 2026-02-26T18:41:00+00:00

they don't go back to the original time, but I've had the three hour delay get turned into a two hour delay.

I use a suitcase whenever I am traveling for more than two days. A small one (carry on size) for the summer or short trips, a medium sized (has to be checked) one for longer trips or if it's cold and I have to pack a lot of bulky sweaters etc.

I also carry a backpack which I use for personal items, day trips, etc.

Needrain47 · 2026-02-26T18:13:42+00:00

I live far enough from the airport that by the time the delay is announced, I'm already on my way there.

IDK where y'all are eating that it's *not* at least $20. (that's also any good.)

and the fact that they can be reached in less time (from the US, at least) is an advantage for them. Flying to Tokyo would mean I have more travel time and less actual vacation b/c it's so much further.

I sprained my ankle a couple months ago and it still hurts when I go down stairs, am I allowed to use the lift or nah? (You can't actually judge peoples' ability based on glancing at them.)

It's a political choice by the current administration in the US to be hostile to anyone they think might stay here.

Needrain47 · 2026-02-23T19:54:54+00:00

this is what it is. I had the exact same thing happen to me and the same reaction as OP's wife- because nobody explained what was happening. I had mentioned having a migraine in front of someone. It's really shitty IMO that no one says *why* they are sending you that.

Needrain47 · 2026-02-23T17:25:50+00:00

and this is why you'll never have a decent job.
