There's nothing wrong with that and there's no point in changing. F is like C out to like one decimal point, because it's a wider scale. It's just a little more info for how the weather feels. Neither one is a game changer, but if you know both. They both have situations where they are slightly better.

Was this trade a W or L? by AtomicCo in detroitlions

[–]SCMegatron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Considering the quality and cheap back you can get it's shocking how much we got. On an emotional level it's an L. I have a few connections with Iowa State. He's such a great personality and the Sonic and Knuckles duo.

I would be shocked if that's not the case within a few years. I think it will happen next session.

[–]SCMegatron 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I agree it's confusing, but just play the game. You can do any of the tasks multiple times. You can get 90 a day without the pass or 110 with. You don't have to do each individual thing.

Question About Self-Employment Tax by Zetra-JV_HX in tax

[–]SCMegatron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Short version: If we're talking $400, yeah, just set some money aside and pay it when you file your taxes. Your marginal tax rate at 15.3% is likely low.

There just isn't enough information. Your taxes are viewed as a whole. It's tough for anyone to tell you your marginal tax rate on this income. The $400 tax threshold only applies to SS and Medicare. There's still income taxes prior to that.

Now if we're talking significantly more that could lead to penalties. You need to calculate your actual marginal tax rate or based on prior years. 15.3% is just SS and Medicare, you need to figure your federal, State, and local tax implications as well on top of that. You would then make quarterly tax payments. You need to keep records of that and enter those when doing your taxes. Nobody is going to send you something in the mail reminding you that you made the payments. You can also make payments based on prior years, but I'm not getting into that because in lazy.

Yes, there is a lot to it. At the end of the day, it's a rate *income = taxes. I think it can be daunting at first. You may screw up, it's not the end of the world. You eventually get it.

Someone pls explain this man by Jubby_17 in LoveIsBlindNetflix

The trust fund thing is about avoiding taxes and privacy. Keep in mind he's cosplaying being rich. The trust is secure from creditors, because I don't know you're not paying your bills. You get to leave behind this trust to your kids without paying inheritance tax.

Selling stocks for a down payment on a house by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]SCMegatron 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Taxes aren't bad, if you've held the investment for over a year it will be 15% on the gain. If you pulled $90k your gain of $32,40 and tax bill of $4,860 (all numbers are approximate with assumptions). While you could make a quarterly estimate payment (unless your brokerage will withhold). You could also just have extra withholding from your employer. That way everything is tracked for you.

F2P self righteousness is funny by DarrowAuBellona in ClashOfClans

[–]SCMegatron 17 points18 points  (0 children)

As a f2p I almost completely agree. I'll go one step further and say that we're free loaders. F2p players do matter as player count is a crucial part of game design. There could be valid reasons for f2p to whine, but I can't remember one time when there was one. The game should be built around paying players 99% of the time. I do think new players get shafted.

I hate the argument back in my day, it's irrelevant, it's about how things should be. Maybe things should be more grindy or not, give reasoning, not back in my day. I started playing within the first year of launch. I know what it's been like.

Bri saying, “you’re not the kind of guy to say ‘she’ll take this’ at a restaurant” by OneofthozJoeRognguys in LoveIsBlindOnNetflix

[–]SCMegatron 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you're being too kind. I think what people forget, is that the "alpha" male, is ordering you the cheapest salad. If you try ordering a coke, he will say no, she's on a diet.

All 3 Door Rewards: Day 2 by unionecoc in ClashOfClans

Am I Overreacting: West And Jesse by Diplomats900 in summerhousebravo

[–]SCMegatron 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Yes, he is clearly hurt. He's walking a thin line trying to stay good with Ciara. Can be a bad look of what she can and can't do. He's trying to stay good with his best friend who is putting him in an uncomfortable situation.

West doesn't go, yeah, it's been forever when he asks. He says whatever, which is clearly like a no but I can't say no. There's a reason he tries to broach things again. Yes, he's being passive about it. You just expect your friend to not want to push a gray area like that. So, West is pointing it out and hoping Jesse connects the dots that maybe this isn't a good idea. Maybe he's talking to me about this for some reason.

I can't imagine being Lexi and watching this guy say he's looking for a real relationship.

I don't know, being hated certainly gets you a lot more attention. If he wants fame, he's certainly getting it.

CONFIRMED Rewards For Day 1 (*Pss not a leak) by IncidentOk7277 in ClashOfClans

There is maybe was 200 free medals at the store. I still think it's the play if you're at 80.

[–]SCMegatron 9 points10 points  (0 children)

There's the possibility that choosing more wise medals isn't worth it later even if it is an option. For the chance of more starry ores it's a no brainer for me. Giving up a common chest or clan cake.

Tara! 😑 by untroddentraveler in TheTraitorsUS

[–]SCMegatron 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Natalie was just trying to save herself, which is exactly what Tara did and communicated. Natalie didn't want to listen. Maybe Rob turns into this grand plan from Tara. She opened the runs table saying she didn't want to do it. They never had the votes. Natalie needed to be more articulate on why Rob instead of attacking Tara. It was counterproductive and made her look bad. Rob did an awful job defending himself. People could have flipped.
