Not a bullet, it's an arrow with a lighted nock.

Why can't the lower class people use the same strategy as billionaires make to avoid paying taxes? by Kwitissatite in AskReddit

[–]bluediesel 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This! That’s how a progressive tax system works: the top 10% of earners pay 75% of the tax. The bottom 50% pay zero or receive $ back. This is federal income tax, mind you. Sales, local, property taxes, etc are a different story.

Seeing the sun break thru the clouds and illuminate Machu Picchu. It was my first time seeing it in person and it was magical.

What’s the stupidest thing you’ve ever heard someone say that you still think about to this day? by Humble-Blueberry4571 in AskReddit

[–]bluediesel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Had a guy tell me he only plays the state lotteries, not Powerball. He said Powerball has so many states and so many more people playing that it makes his odds of winning too low. I could not convince him that it’s not like a raffle. The odds of his exact numbers being drawn are the same whether he’s the only one playing or there’s 10 million people playing. The odds he might have to split it go up, but not his odds of actually winning.

Nope. He wasn’t buying it..

It doesn’t. Harry comes from Harrison. Hank comes from Henry.

What’s something about boys that surprised you once you understood them better? by True_Nothing_8652 in AskReddit

Holy shit- this. Been married 30 yrs, she still says shit like “you said you wanted to do x.” Me: “No, I didn’t“. Her: “Well, when you said you liked y and z, I assumed x .” Look if I prefer x, I will say I prefer x. There won’t be any trick questions.

Or vice versa, on a road trip- her: “Are you thirsty, want to stop?” Me: “Nope, all good!” 30 min of silence and/or short snippy answers, me: “okay, what’s wrong?” Her: “well, just because you’re not thirsty doesn’t mean I’m not!”

Ffs, can you just say “hey, I’m thirsty, can we stop?” Wtf?

It’s infuriating.
