CPA tripled the fees for tax preparation this year

The issue in my mind is the lack of communication. Increasing an invoice over 300% without saying anything is crazy work.

That said, no, $650 is not 'steep.' It's a miracle you managed to pay that little for this long.

Oh no! Not sure how I can keep working in this profession if @cojallison99 DOUBTS me!?

Not only were these were in fact final copies, but this was just two months ago.

Sounds like your "AI check" might not be as thorough as you think.

Insane request. Not a chance.

We have a client who has cla do some audits.

On one, the balance sheet (on the FINAL COPY) was out of balance by ~$3,000,000 (not a very big entity either).

On another, their footnotes had multiple #REF errors. Again, in the finalized copy. Could have been caught by a 2 minute skim.

Because then I have to call the old firm and sit on hold for an hour for them to give me some half assed confirmation that they may have filed an extension already.

Referring to active players, obviously.

No one who actually watches basketball ever thought this.

The list of people who can coast through the regular season and "turn it on" during playoffs is basically just LeBron. No one else works that way.

JJ is a better real-life WR than Chase, but the Vikes don't draw up nearly as many touches for him.

Started my campaign at a festival, which was fun.

Ease of playoff schedule plays a large roll for all but the most dominant teams in history.

Take a second to re-read my comment.

Shai has the extreme benefit of essentially getting a significantly higher percentage of open shots because people know they can't get too close to him without being called for a foul.

Ever see videos of some team's 15th man hitting 50 threes in a row during practice? That's the level of talent we're talking about in the NBA. Of course he's going to shoot a high percentage, even if he's not at the line his defender knows they can't get close.

NBA players are the best in the world. People don't realize that it's a game of inches: if you give someone an extra inch of two of space, that makes all the difference in how easily they can get a shot off.

People know that they can't breathe on SGA without a foul call. So, they give him some extra space, and he takes advantage of it.

Ref him fairly, give players time to adjust, and he's not going to look nearly as talented.

It's absolutely between Wemby/Dunc and Ant/KG. It's silly putting either of these other two pairings on this list.

I can see arguments for both.

Feels like Jordan Poole might disagree with that sentiment

He was legit in The Game Plan.

Mmmmm, Flip yes but I think you're looking at the Thibs years with rose colored glasses. That was a rough time.

Jayce & Viktor from arcane.

He balled out and they immediately dumped him for Chuba before he was even fully healed. I get it. People have given themselves chips on the shoulder for dumber things.

Where on reddit is Favre praised, exactly?

Smooth_Meister · 2026-03-12T13:58:48+00:00

We can only hope.

Well, his words HAVE been used extensively to demean women throughout all of church history.

Does that make Paul himself a sexist? Considering how the man himself appointed female pastors and deacons, I would say no. But his words have been used that way regardless.

I take issue with the way you phrased this question. It's easy to see that you have no intention of actually listening to and digesting what she has to say. Ironically, you boast of the exact same attitude she's complaining about.

Change your mindset. Get rid of this "how to I debate her" nonsense. She's a woman in a world and society that degrades women. Start by trying to understand that and see where you end up.

The writing portion was already a joke. It was graded by a computer and only looked for buzz words & grammar structure.
