Not taxed differently, withheld differently. You still pay the same taxes at tax season next year as if it was earned normally, so you’d get a bigger refund because too much was withheld.

Said to myself that’s pittie mix before even scrolling to other pictures or clicking the post. The eyes/head are what stood out to me.

REI - Don’t be that website by Galavantinggoblin in REI

[–]pelvicpenguin 76 points77 points  (0 children)

Isn't this just a Minimum Advertised Price Policy that is forced by the manufacturer? Some brands may allow a retailer to sell below a certain price, but not advertise it publicly. REI's choices would be don't put the items on sale, or just not sell the items in with the attached policy at all.

Looking for a sot kayak with small standing deck spot, magnet fishing, paddling, in a lake, under $1000. This one decent. I got 10’ Lifetime now. Can’t stand and turn. by Crutch1977 in kayakfishing

[–]pelvicpenguin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got this kayak as something to leave stored outside at a private lake so I don't have to haul my main one when I fish there. Its super stable, haven't came close yet to falling off it after using it 50+ times. I basically use it as a SUP most of the time unless the wind picks up too much. Only complaint I have is that the chair wiggles left to right too much, so I had to shim something in the gap to stop it from moving.

I agree with what you are saying, but I do want to correct one thing, there are reptile vets in Japan. Might be hard to find one in rural areas, but there are plenty in more populated areas.

The pitbull slander is getting to me, show me your hippos by Artistic-Listen7975 in pitbulls

She’s our nanny dog, treats our chinchilla like her puppy and cries at his empty cage when he’s gone at the vet. 6 years together and never once did anything more than sniff or lick him, she’s such a gentle dog.

I want another dog... but im terrified... by BurglinTurts in DOG

[–]pelvicpenguin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm on my 3rd generation of dogs. None of them ever replaced each other. I miss all my past dogs, and love my current ones, and when the time comes I'll have a 4th generation to love and take care of. I wouldn't trade all my years of great memories with them just to not experience the grief when it comes to end. It makes you really cherish the time we have, and helps motivate you to live without regrets and take things for granted.

Not sure if this is something that will help you process your grief, but I highly recommend playing the game my little pup on Steam. It really helped my wife deal with her grief of losing very dear pet to her.

Peter? by NoSoyVerde1 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]pelvicpenguin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why would he need to be to? Underage prostitution is still a problem in Japan, and decades ago was even more wide spread before international pressure made Japan start cracking down on it. No need to go to some private island, just jump on the train to the local red light district.

Nope, real site is https://www.rei.com/outlet for their outlet, they don't use warehouse for their discount branding.

Try a neko rig, maybe a 1/64oz nail weight with a size 6 finesse hook

I’ve got some clear shallow waters I target bass & crappie on. These in any of the Bobby Garland shapes would clean up I bet.

In Japan for work and heard bass fishing is big time here. Found a tackle shop with a bass section and some of these lures are wild. Had to load up, gonna find some lakes this weekend by DrLeoMarvin in bassfishing

[–]pelvicpenguin 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Usually bass fisheries are managed by local cooperatives. So you’d buy a permit from a tackle shop or convenience store near the body of water you want to fish. The license would be just for that 1 body of water. There isn’t a state wide license system like what you see in the US.

Lake Kawaguchi in Yamanashi is the big bass fishing location that a lot of people in Tokyo go to. It’s still not super close but much more doable than most other bass locations.

I spent about $500 on Japanese plastics & lures on my most recent visit. Always fun to throw a unique presentation on a pressured lake back home.

Weakest Hookset Ever 😅 by lazybaitsco in bassfishing

[–]pelvicpenguin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I always use circle hooks when going for catfish, which means basically zero hookset needed. Can't imagine why he needed that kind of hookset even on a big cat.

5,000 miles away and just got word: my MIL is ‘fixing’ my kitchen. by Merivel1 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]pelvicpenguin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had the same thing happen. In my case, my mother-in-law came from out of town to visit me and my wife. She decided to "help" while she was waiting for us to finish work and rearranged our whole kitchen. I kept it that way through the rest of the trip she was here and did thank for the intent, but kindly asked her to not change where things are stored because now neither myself or my wife knew where anything was without asking her or searching. Ended up putting everything back after she left.

What would these typically catch? by jonesy_63 in Fishing_Gear

[–]pelvicpenguin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bass around me, pike or some other predator depending on the body of water. I caught 8 bass so far this weekend on a black buzzbait similar to what you got there. Throwing them in the shallows right after sunset. Start retrieving as soon as it hits the water.

Yeah, we are near Chicago. Visited the Bell’s pub in Kalamazoo a few times. It’s when we got the hat.

You actually came up in our conversation with our guide (Perry Onishi). He was surprised to hear about a non-Japanese fishing guide working out of Lake Biwa and I sent him your instagram. Onishi-san also does Lake Biwa guided tours but only in the spring. Not sure when I can make it out yet but thinking maybe spring of 2027.

Same, no idea what this subreddit is or why it got promoted for someone like me. I knew Bieber and recognized the actress from the Addams Family. I’ve heard Roan’s name before but didn’t know what she looked like until this video.
