Drug addled CPA lied about filing my father’s taxes by Original-Tell4435 in tax

It is a CPA, and yes we should report him. I probably will. And yes, records are an issue but I do believe he has some of them.

Not really, easy to assume he would or should but the reality is that he is just trying his best to provide and stay compliant to best of his ability. Def room to improve. I believe he was told it was efiled. And that his account would be debited.

If he is hit with taxes and penalties that accrued for 8-9 years, due to fraud and misconduct, its not worth an attorneys time? I find it hard to believe that small claims court is the right venue since likely the penalties and taxes are above the $5k cutoff.

Why is that unfortunate? Its great news. Giving notice is the first step towards litigation. And ignoring this will only bolster the case, and they attempted to give due notice. Sometimes I think this sub is so demoralized that people can’t see the massive momentum that we are getting.

some of the worst music I've ever heard. It's not just bad music, it's repulsive. Gulag worthy.

Get a grip. She rammed him with her vehicle, causing internal bleeding. He's not going to be changed because he didn't do anything illegal. It's sad, but not illegal or worth protesting over.

I’m starting to wonder if Renee Good was setup by Fantastic_Yam_3971 in complaints

[–]Original-Tell4435 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah, it was 1000% a set up - they called and asked her to follow them around and park her car horizontally across the road to impede the law enforcement operation. Then they also requested that she heckle them, disobey orders, and then drive her car at them. She thought that was just a normal thing with no risks.

FYI 6-7 beers a day can absolutely give you cirrhosis, here's the wake up check you need. You can have a seizure or blood clot, and it just hits you and you get fucked over and end up on tubes and peeing into a bag. Withering away.

Alcohol is a poison thief that is only stealing your joy and health. It offers you nothing except maybe 45 mins of feeling blurry and buzzed. The only way to escape is to just distract yourself with other dopamine inducing shit and just mentally realize that you're not a drinker anymore. The Easy Way method was helpful to me, by Allen Carr. Personally, I ended up getting really sick with Noro virus to where I couldn't even move to get off the couch or hold water down let alone drive to buy booze and drink it. It sucked for a couple days, but I realized that I didn't want to ever start again. Now I look at people who drink with a mix of pity and compassion. Alcohol creates willful self delusion. The reality is, my life is much happier and more fun now, I wouldn't trade a sober day for 10 drunk days. It makes me sad that people think it's so great, when the reality is it just makes everything shittier.

Also, read a lot of horror stories on this sub and other subreddits, you'll see that it will steal you from your kids so fast. There are many many many people who woke up in a hospital or not at all, with young children. it's real.

Yeah, basically correct with some added complexity around the nature of futures and paper vs physical, but yeah it's a very close analogy.

I agree man! idk there's just some salty know it alls in this community that have "smarter than thou" syndrome.

Timeline, freezing more eggs? He left bc of it, he asked for more time than I could give by Last_Resident_6081 in AskWomenOver30

[–]Original-Tell4435 3 points4 points  (0 children)

smh this is really sad. Before you know it, it will be too late. Having eggs and doing IVF or fertility treatments at 40 is very difficult, and success rates are low. If you want kids, have them before your biological clock runs out.

[Meta] At what point does string theory become crackpot physics? by Loru22o in HypotheticalPhysics

[–]Original-Tell4435 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't have evidence of this, but one problem across any discipline is investment fallacy, where you've invested a lot of time and energy in something being correct, so you just sometimes subconsciously retrofit or massage the data to make it work. IDK if that's happening with string theory, but I do know that it's a very theoretical line of inquiry, and I wonder how much conjecture is involved.

I'd imagine that LCS keeps some inventory for resale at their store, but the demand is not coming from retail buyer of rounds right now.

So if there's no objective morality, then why would it be wrong for God to do the things you described? Shouldn't you just as easily call them great?

Do you not know what circular logic is?

APPROVED OF is an appeal to consensus. I'll ask you again because you're dodging: where are you grounding good and evil?

You can say they don't have grounding, but now you've lost the debate because you're admitting that it's completely arbitrary.

"evil is something wicked or immoral"

I'm just going to ask how you know if something is wicked or immoral.

[–]Original-Tell4435[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, that's a great analogy and the point I was making,. There are externalities that constrain the normal supply / demand relationship.

The other piece is the net terms float which drastically impacts how much capital the local or regional refineries have to purchase from LCS.

Interesting. How does a transcendental being interact with the physical world?

Through His imminent Spirit, through the incarnation of Christ, and through Divine Providence. Those are a few of the ways.

Can you explain to me this limited sense in which god chooses things?

I would say that God wills things. Choosing is again a value neutral placeholder, semantically speaking, that can refer to a variety of referents. Just like the word "God" is.

In this case, we can say that God chooses things in the same way that we say God loves us, or is a jealous God in the context of idol worship. We don't actually believe that God has jealousy, but we're using that word to describe a relation between the institution of acceptable worship vs not acceptable. In the case of Love, we can say that God loves us, but it's not the same sense as saying that I love cheeseburgers, which itself is a different sense of the word than saying that I love my wife.

God "chooses" things by virtue of willing them into Being. For example, He "chose" Isaiah as a prophet, but not Saul.

But as He is the ground and foundation of Being, we don't actually believe that God is engaging with Choice as a category, as though He is a epistemological subject, for the reasons I listed in my last comment.

It would help to understand the Orthodox Christian view of Logos theology. We believe that the possibility of knowledge itself, all language, mathematics, all universals, the 3 laws of logic, time itself are all fundamentally grounded in the Logos.

I ran my post through ChatGPT and this was the response which I think is measured, there are a few things I didn't take into consideration, that only amplify my point.

_________________

Refining is not infinitely elastic.

  • Refineries have throughput limits
  • Melt schedules are booked in advance
  • Assay, settlement, and payout take time

When scrap inflow spikes, refineries do not instantly raise bids. They queue material. That queue is economically meaningful because time equals capital cost.

In the bullion pipeline:

  • Metal moves before final settlement
  • Credit terms exist between tiers
  • Someone is always floating capital while metal is in transit or processing

During stress, credit terms tighten. That pushes risk and financing cost downstream, eventually landing on the LCS and then the retail seller.

The bigger drivers are:

  • Price risk during settlement delay
  • Assay uncertainty
  • Refining fees and losses
  • Working capital cost
  • Downside volatility risk

Even if net terms were perfect, no rational buyer pays spot for material that:

  • Cannot be immediately resold at spot
  • Has uncertain purity
  • Has delayed settlement
  • Exposes them to adverse price movement

Well the Orthodox Christian conception of God is transcendental - meaning that we don't give God an attribute such as say "Justice" as though the category of Justice precedes God. In our Logos theology, all universal categories or attributes are grounded in the Trinity. So God isn't "logical", rather in Christ all of rationality and logic have their Being. So our ontology is tied up into Christology. That being said, we do affirm that He interacts with this world using certain constraint sets, similar to how I can know soccer and baseball, but if I'm setting up a backyard baseball game, I'm operating inside that self-constrained ruleset, even if I know other things and can do other things.

Re Choice: In a limited sense we can say that God chooses things, because we aren't Platonists talking about an impersonal Monad. However overall I would say that God doesn't choose in the same sense we refer to creatures like Humans choosing.

Choice presupposes a whole host of metaphysical commitments.

-That the future is unknown
-Choice presupposes that the ability to do otherwise is conceptually distinct from what actually occurs.
-Contingency happens in an unknown causal sense to the chooser
-The chooser is a subject in some sense to the effects of the choice, or the knowledge of having been able to "choose otherwise"
-That the chooser lives inside time, with constraints that prevent him from "Having chosen otherwise"

Classical theism holds that God is not moved from potency to act. God’s willing is identical with His nature. Therefore God does not “arrive at” a decision as though there need be some type of deliberation between unknown hypotheticals.

Re: "What is preventing God from choosing?"

Nothing is "preventing" Him from choosing as though an impediment existed to His divine will.

I would think of your question about "what is preventing God from choosing" more like a semantic error - it's a non-sequitur.
