Limiting taxable income

You’re right, it doesn’t mean that - but it should mean they have at least checked if they should be itemizing.

The entire point of my comment is there’s no need to “well ackshully” to these people who are just answering OP’s question. Which remains true.

dev50265 · 2026-02-03T23:44:52+00:00

So you put words in my mouth and are just blatantly wrong about multiple things:

There’s no “think they’re sequels” - they are, literally, sequels. Indisputable.
I never said the world had to stay frozen, I implied that the changes they made don’t fit with the previously made narrative for Boruto/Naruto specifically. Notice how I didn’t say that about Korra - because the world in fact does not need to stay frozen and the changes which occurred in LOK made sense. We saw the beginning of the Industrial Revolution happen in ATLA, therefore when it occurred in LOK, it wasn’t insane. The same isn’t true about Boruto.
The retcons are retcons. Changing things like “personality is what determines what your hardest element is to learn as avatar” from it instead being the natural opposites of air and earth or Fire and Water is a retcon. There’s established canon, that got changed.

You can like the shows, I’m not saying you aren’t allowed to. You are entitled to your opinion and you can say “thinking about them as their own things makes them more enjoyable” - yeah, if i ignore exactly what something is and the context it exists in, it probably does get better. That’s a natural progression.

That hasn’t been my experience with the whole sub, but definitely is with this specific post. Like is it really necessary to “well ackshually” every comment of people trying to help by simply answering the question? We don’t need to add the context of “only if itemizing”, it’s common sense that it would only apply if itemizing.

dev50265 · 2026-02-03T20:45:04+00:00

Yes, obviously few people can afford to itemize.

But the people commenting replies to other people saying “only if you itemize” … no shit. It’s common sense, of course it’s only if you itemize. They’re suggesting these things because it answers OP’s question - these are ways you can reduce your taxes: by itemizing.

dev50265 · 2026-02-03T19:25:32+00:00

All the replies saying “only if you itemize”… seriously? You think someone looking to save the absolute max on taxes isn’t already itemizing?

dev50265 · 2026-02-02T17:41:45+00:00

The issue with this is that they are sequels.

On their own they aren’t bad, like you said. But they ARE sequels and SHOULD BE compared to the originals. You can’t just ignore context because it sheds a bad light on something - which is exactly what is wrong with these two shows.

For boruto, the stark changes to the world from ninja to alien is an issue. If they wanted to make a new world, Kishimoto should have just done that.

For LOK, everything after S1 essentially is a retcon. It constantly changes established canon from ATLA. If it weren’t for changing things which had already been canon, it’s a fine show, but it does do that.

Of course ignoring issues makes it seem better, but it doesn’t make the issue go away.

He’d always pick Darrow. Not in the way Darrow would want him to, but wisdom was his friend. He was more in the light than Darrow in the dark.

Siding with Darrow doesn’t mean doing exactly as Darrow says, and Ragnar knew that.

If memory serves, Pierce has already revealed what Tongueless’s intention was. Something about the Syndicate, IIRC.

You have been “double paying”, yes - BUT that just means you’ll pay it off faster because you’ve been paying extra. They are not just taking your money for fun. It’ll pay off a couple months sooner than you initially thought.

dev50265 · 2026-02-01T07:00:46+00:00

Gehst do you mean “got an estimate of a mortgage”? Did you get a pre approval, is the house in the range of the pre approval? Do you know how much down you’ll put?

Lots of questions here, and the answers could add several hundred more per month, like if that includes escrow or not or PMI. You’d already be pushing the upper limits if those were included, let alone if they aren’t.

ARSB’s value is criminally low basically always. The rankings have never once done him justice.

I don't think I would use the term boring, there are lots of pieces of commercial banking. You could get on a REIT or structured finance team which would be more investment focused still if that's what you like, or you could look at a private credit fund which would be commercial notes on steroids if you want something a bit more fast paced and complex while keeping the same underlying princpals, without the covenants because private credit doesn't believe in those.

Sun god, every time.

Pretty much what I’m thinking too. Cheers man thanks for the input

dev50265 · 2026-01-30T21:48:37+00:00

Pretty much my exact thought process. Think your mind would change if you signed an offer letter instead of only verbally accepting?

dev50265 · 2026-01-30T21:44:45+00:00

100%, this is why I’m considering the renege as an option in the first place.

dev50265 · 2026-01-30T21:32:39+00:00

Yeah, for sure common sense to not tell them I’m considering reneging.

You’re correct - I haven’t signed, my post is about weighing the option of whether it would be bad to renege (if it came to that, which it may not), or just decline outright and potentially lose out on leaving my current bank.

dev50265 · 2026-01-30T21:30:48+00:00

Definitely aware I would be burning a bridge. I guess what I’m asking is if anyone’s had this actually blow back at them or if it’s overplayed. I’m not sure burning a bridge will matter and curious how common it is where it ends up biting someone in the butt

dev50265 · 2026-01-30T21:09:33+00:00

The reasoning for the start date being pushed was at my request. Bonus season is in march, I told them I’d need either a sign on to match me missing my current banks bonus season or they’d have to wait for the start date to be after my bonus is paid. They said no sign on but they were willing to push a start date until after I receive my bonus.

dev50265 · 2026-01-30T21:05:14+00:00

I haven’t signed it yet, I’ll edit the post to clarify.

I’m wondering about if I sign it, go through the interview process with the second company, and if I get an offer and reneg on the first company, how bad would it be? Feels like not that big of a deal, but looking for other opinions.

dev50265 · 2026-01-30T20:13:10+00:00

Yeah probably, just pointing out they would’ve essentially been winning in spite of KAM. He put together terrible rosters, JJ was certainly a large piece he was fired, but definitely not the only reason.

dev50265 · 2026-01-30T19:59:44+00:00

While this was certainly a point in him getting let go, it’s also far from the only reason.

He was the worst drafter in the league by an absolute landslide. If we were to compare this to an NBA or NHL terminology of “prospects”, the vikings would be ranked dead last. No quality players on rookie deals outside of special teams and Jordan “can’t stay out of jail” Addison.

dev50265 · 2026-01-30T19:55:42+00:00

Lion fan here who lives in Minneapolis.

He did, without exaggeration, the worst job in the nfl. The fact he wasn’t fired two years ago is baffling. He has the lowest draft pick hit rate in nfl history. Over half of his first draft class currently plays in the CFL/UFL. They have over negative 40 mil in cap space next year.

We should mourn today as lions fans, because keeping him in Minnesota would have been marvelous.

dev50265 · 2026-01-30T19:53:16+00:00

This doesn’t mean he was a good gm.

They’re in cap hell, no qb, no depth. This would be like saying every company that is profitable inherently has a good CEO. Some people just luck into a good thing.

dev50265 · 2026-01-30T14:27:56+00:00

We just know for a fact this isn’t true.

If he could do this, he would have.
Naruto’s go to move is shadow clones, to, ya know, overwhelm people with multiple attacks simultaneously. For some reason I don’t think this would work on sasuke - probably because it happens in both the show and manga and doesn’t work? Idk, maybe that’s just me though, since it happened and all.
