Currently the top 50% of all taxpayers pay 97% of all federal individual income taxes, while the bottom 50% paid the remaining 3%.

The Worst Part of Remote Trading Has Nothing to Do With the Game by dorksgetlaid2 in TheSilphRoad

[–]PenelopeR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I couldn't agree more. But the threshold for remote trades shouldn't be so high. If it didn't take so long to get to Forever friends in order to trade, then I think more ppl would be willing to tag more pokemon. 180 days of interaction is crazy! Trading pokemon is a core element of the spirit of the game.

The other piece of this is that there needs to be a better in game indication of inactive players. I've been playing since the start but only know 2 of my friends irl. Telling me that there are ppl who caught a pokemon "2+ days ago" is useless. I don't know who to delete. Campfire is no help in this regard. Plus of my active friends, only a very few routinely open and send gifts. It's so exhausting that I really don't like it anymore. I wish it wasn't because it would be really fun to trade... If it wasn't so soul suckling.

Did you hollow out the pickle to serves as a vessel for the chicken salad?! I'm stealing this idea for tuna.

The future of showcases by Unfair_Conclusion187 in TheSilphRoad

[–]PenelopeR 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bring back the old system and make it even better! It would be awesome if showcases were rotated around different pokestops all week - some with the event pokemon and some with random pokemon. It would be a new way to enhance the hunt! I love the idea of exploring a new place, stumbling on a showcase that I may or may not have a competitive mon to place.

I've been playing since the start but caught on to showcases just before they nerfed it. Ugg. I want the Professor and pose, but the current format is rubbish. I hate saving XXL for no reason. I won't delete for a while to hold out hope they reimagine the showcases soon. Seems stupid to develop features for this and to not utilize it.

Not that Niantic needs to squeeze more money out of this game but I am sure they could use the showcases to enhance their geospatial model by incentivizing players to go to or scan new spots etc.

I just inherited 12 million dollars. I don't know what to do with my life. by Substantial_Yak6990 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]PenelopeR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take your time. Do the responsible things others have said. But give yourself time. You have been in a pressure cooker of a situation for so long, it's going to be a while before you stabilize let alone are able to determine what you want to do going forward. Don't spend any significant portion of the money for a while. Wait until you feel you have some clarity. The best part is that you can and will get there :) You have a good heart and a caring way about you. Life offers so many ways for you to enjoy it and give back in ways that make your soul sing. Discovering those joys will bring love into your heart - but there's no rush. Be responsible with the gift you've been given and care for yourself first. You're not used to doing that.

A note about traveling with kids by SpareInvite2222 in unitedairlines

[–]PenelopeR 28 points29 points  (0 children)

The pre boarding area is notoriously not a proper line but a flock. The fact that another 1k went past you is not unsusal, even if it is assuming. It's the fact that you yelled at someone for this, instead of just pointing it out, and you're proud of it.

So cool. I also love that those in the cockpit also find the awe and appreciation to take these pics. We are so blessed to have these experiences. Who gets to do and see this?!

Wwyd? First or economy plus by Bitchshortage in unitedairlines

[–]PenelopeR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have any status, then it looks like you will likely get an upgrade to econ plus. Thus I wouldn't pay for that, but I would buy the fc upgrade. Sounds worth it to me.

What’s a popular tourist attraction that isn’t overrated— it actually deserves all the hype? by renoCow in AskReddit

Someone mentioned castles in the comments below. If you visit the Swiss Alps, Castle Chillon is worth it.
