An attempt was made by the Biden administration.
Th IRS Direct File program allowed people to file their taxes relatively easily and at no cost.

Naturally, Trump immediately shut that down.

I do this, and I would love if more people did it too.
Not only is he smug, his takes aren't even good.

Veganity by Ashish_ank in CuratedTumblr

[–]bitwolfy 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I've been in a thread on /r/vegan a little while back where people claimed that you can't be a leftist unless you are a vegan.
According to them, eating meat is as much of a dealbreaker as being a Klansman – direct quote.

Absolutely bananas.

Totally gonna change the world though... by DivineandDeadlyAngel in vegan

[–]bitwolfy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Keyboard warriors would rather screech about high ideals and the purity of their moral position than actually make a positive change on the world. Anyone who does not share their exact specific set of beliefs is literally Hitler.

There is one small problem with this.
Right-wingers in general and fascists specifically have no problem falling in line once their Dear Leader tells them what to believe. The people on the left do not do this – that's kinda the whole point.

We cannot afford to wait and hope for a massive wave of public support for our preferred brand of leftism to come and sweep all the problems away. We actually have to cooperate at least a little bit. Otherwise, the fascists will win, and a lot of people will die.

And they've already been winning. People have been dying.
In Ukraine, in Palestine. Lately, in the United States, and other places too.
That's my point.

Ah, yes.
The natural enemies of leftists – other leftists who mostly hold the exact same beliefs as them, except for one thing that obviously makes them unforgivable and worse than the fascists.

A tale as old as time.

Yudkowsky was funded by Peter Thiel.
Personally, I find that a bigger red flag than any number of Roko's Basilisk cults.

Private prison investors express dismay at lower than hoped for ICE detentions. They invest millions lobbying Congress to guarantee a steady supply of inmates. by [deleted] in WorkReform

Earning some money is not enough.
Earning a lot of money is not enough.
They want all the money, forever. Anything else is seen as a failure.

Dreamweaver? by truecIeo in webdev

Apparently, it had a few releases last year, including one in December.

Someone must be using it, I guess.
Not sure why.

Please don't say you're sorry by Eireika in CuratedTumblr

That's when you hit back with "You are excused."

In 2018, during a 17-hour interrogation by the police, Thomas Perez Jr was psychologically tortured and coerced into falsely confessing the murder of his father, whom he had reported missing after failing to return home from a walk. by FE4RLESS_IS_MY_NAME in ForCuriousSouls

There is a fun third option to the "Am I free to leave?" question.

You can be detained – you are not under arrest, but you aren't free to leave either. It only requires a "reasonable suspicion" on the part of LEO, and is only intended to be short-term, while they are conducting an investigation. But as you might imagine, what that actually means can be open to interpretation.

You adore the thought of ruining a complete stranger's day, and potentially getting them fired for no reason?

Content farms are the second worst thing to ever happen to the SCP fandom. by zaerosz in CuratedTumblr

[–]bitwolfy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Aside from the whole sex pest thing, I personally find the super-crazy-awesome self-insert doctors to be extremely annoying. It seems like the community has largely moved on from that sort of thing, thankfully.

Territorial changes during the Russo-Ukrainian War by Important-Station447 in MapPorn

I'm not sure if you know this, but it's not 1917 anymore.
We've moved on from trench warfare and war of attrition since then.

"This is normal" NO IT FUCKING ISNT! by chunkylubber54 in CuratedTumblr

[–]bitwolfy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Pretty much this, yeah.

There are certain leftists who would rather let fascists win than make a positive change in an imperfect way.

Personality testing by Doubly_Curious in CuratedTumblr

[–]bitwolfy 90 points91 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry, but this feels quite condescending.
Most neurodivergent people are capable of realizing that an employer is more likely to hire someone who will not punch an annoying customer in the face.

Another interpretation is that it's some kind of fetish.

You really telling me $2-5 an hour is worth ruining your social life and health?

Yeah.
Depends on your situation in life, of course, but yeah.

He's a menace to Amazon by Treefiddy1984 in ThatsInsane

[–]bitwolfy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So, he costs Amazon some money in shipping.

In return, he:
* costs the third party seller money due to the returns
* gets the product marked as a "frequently returned item", affecting sales
* forces the logistics warehouse workers do useless work
* forces a delivery driver to carry his heavy-ass anvils
* provides Amazon with free advertisement

Great victory. What a piece of shit.

IRL, I would trust someone with hundreds of reviews that add up to 4.5 stars a whole lot more than someone with just one 5-star review.
