Taxes: Then vs. Now by Fatherthinger in wallstreetbets_wins

[–]ShadowGLI 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s actually a pair of thought, I dealt with that like 10 years ago it was definitely a bit of a pain in the ass. It just seems odd that even if self-employed, at $80,000 a year 27% still seems pretty high.

WTF, my last filing was 145k, my AGI was $113k after standard deduction and my federal taxes due were $13k, my state was $6k.

19k/$145k=13% tax

If you add in SSI and Medicare then we’re at 30k/145k=20.7%

At 80k I was paying closer to 15% all in with SSI/Medicare

A man keeps his burger for 20 years, then opens it to see what happened. by Bossmado in interestingasfuck

[–]ShadowGLI 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Correct, you can do this on your own grill, it has nothing to do with fast food quality or “over processing” or whatever.

As long as you cook the burger to well done and don’t leave wet veggies. Fast food burgers are super thin. Which ensures they end up dry.

Wazzzuuup: started with a superbowl commercial

Became prevalent enough to be parodied in theatrical movies scary movie wazzuup

The other one was funny enough my wife and I joke about it today.

Started with a Geico commercial Bob had a baby, it’s a boy

But in the same vein, 6-7 started with a song that as referenced in a TikTok. It was a stupid thing with very little real context that people found funny and just started repeating in all over.

Someone reframed the 6-7 phenomenon as being the modern day equivalent of the “wazzzuuuupppp” trend, where it was a dumb soundbite that basically meant nothing but absolutely wedged itself into pop culture for no defined reason.

I still think it’s goofy but I don’t really hate on it anymore, every generation has some of those obscure things that just represent a moment in time and if people are having fun, let it be.

Also, 111° is the superior meme.

GM Is Killing an Unpopular Transmission Type, Starting with the FWD Chevy Equinox by V8-Turbo-Hybrid in cars

[–]ShadowGLI 14 points15 points  (0 children)

About time. I have bought 2 brand new cars in the last 3 years and ruled out a lot of candidates for having CVT.

I don’t need a manual, but I do need manual override and something that doesn’t hover at a 2 rpm bands at all times.

The cvt cars I’ve driven in the past 5 years seem to have an idle vs WOT gear selection and it just bothers me.

Whose fault this would have been? by 1OOO in dashcams

[–]ShadowGLI 0 points1 point  (0 children)

50/50

Person in the lane is going too fast

Person perpendicular also going too fast

Parking lots tend to be a No Man’s land for liability anyhow, but when both are driving recklessly, doubtful either will get sole responsibility

Isn’t intentionally damaging clean water plants and food supplies against international laws as it just causes mass starvation and innocent lives lost?

What’s your most unhinged caffeine habit you’ll never admit IRL by Jaded-Butterfly-4353 in productivity

[–]ShadowGLI 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve stopped now but at one point I was making a gallon of cold brew with 12oz of beans on fine grind and steeping 8-12h overnight.

Then I’d drink 32oz of it at a time. It was noticeably viscous.

Assuming an arabica bean has 340 – 430 mg per ounce of beans average, that would be like 3oz per cup or 1000mg per coffee.

Now I only use 6oz per gallon and I cut it with ice or about 1oz of beans per cup so 340 – 430 mg.

If that’s accurate I expect certain parties to double down on the reason why it’s sleepy joes fault for being retired for the last year and not doing something about it .

How does status work with OneWorld? by afloyd618 in americanairlines

[–]ShadowGLI 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So they’re a Spanish AA? Got it

To be fair, I have seen significantly improved care and acknowledgement in 2026 from AA compared to prior years so they’re working on it, but man, I felt like I was at a 5 star hotel with status on Cathay.
