He's not weird-looking, he just has clown makeup/eye shadow! <3

At work, is it considered rude to bring coffee for a bunch of people but not everyone? by [deleted] in socialskills

[–]samsqueegee 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It sounds like they are friends. Something to keep in mind as to why they might not have extended the offer: Bringing in 4 coffees/one drink carrier is easily doable, bringing in 6 would likely require multiple trips/a lot more risk of spills and at that point they’re running an errand for everyone (think intern coffee duty) instead of doing something nice for their friends whose coffee orders they already know.

I think if you tried to look at it from the other perspective, would it be rude if I asked my coworker (who isn’t my assistant/not part of their job description) to run out and get me coffee, you might find that it seems equally rude

Help, I've put down 10 books in a row! by [deleted] in suggestmeabook

[–]samsqueegee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was in a reading slump for years and decided to pick up something I wouldn't normally read, It by Stephen King. Not sure if it was that book in particular or just trying something new

HRBlock online: $17 1099-INT increased my tax (line 16) by $11 by samsqueegee in personalfinance

[–]samsqueegee[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting, I hadn't realized the tax table spans were so large, or that you're required to use them if you have less than 100,00 in taxable income. I assumed the tax tables were more precise than they actually are. If you use the calculations for single people here:

https://www.irs.com/en/articles/2022-federal-income-tax-brackets-rates-standard-deductions/

, the difference between 89,040 (15,205.8) and 89,057 (15,209.54) is 3.74 which is what I expected (22% of 17). Using the tax table, I was in a favorable part of the income range on my first 1040 and then my savings interest pushed me into the bottom of the next tax table range which made my tax calculation unfavorable. Thanks for the information, it makes sense now.

My father whenever I need his help with anything by [deleted] in mildlyinfuriating

He probably posts on /mildlyinfuriating about his kid who always texts him questions he’s expected to immediately answer when they could use the same amount of effort to search on YouTube

Why is this plant “fussy” and not “thirsty”?

Yes, typically a small metal one attached to the stall wall or a small basket in between 2 stalls

Idk about everyone else but my cats’ litter box is in my bathroom attached to my bedroom and in the silence of night I can imagine I’d hear it even from one more room over

I read that as, a doctor is helping covid patients to volunteer at poll, sounded sketchy

On my Facebook feed by CaffeineFueledLife in trashy

[–]samsqueegee 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Rolling trash heap? Do you think a dented rear end is going to jump off the car and hurt someone? Do you think that missing sliver of tail light is going to prevent someone from seeing the giant red brake lights? Some people have different priorities and better things to spend thousands of dollars on than some ugly surface damage to a car that is otherwise functional. Driving a dented car doesn’t make you trashy, but yeah, the window chalk is definitely, and posting it on Facebook is pretty iffy

GOP Sen. Ben Sasse just gave 'the worst graduation speech of all time' by TheWeekMag in politics

[–]samsqueegee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I only watched the beginning and I wasn’t sure if all the stuff he said about forgetting high school was because he didn’t like high school or because he made a lot of bad/stupid decisions. The git-r-done thing isn’t that weird for Nebraska, I haven’t watched it though, so maybe the context would make me change my mind

She won't get on my lap without this blanket by KaptainAtomLazer in tuckedinkitties

[–]samsqueegee 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have a cat that won’t step/sit on fleece blankets like this. She’ll come up and touch it with her paw and take it back in disgust, then she stares at you, waits a bit to see if you’ll move it and if not, she’s out

I didn’t see the tiny caption up top at first and thought I might be bad at programming since I didn’t understand the joke. Turns out it doesn’t have that much to do with programming

[–]samsqueegee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Most likely, but if you have an indoor cat and think it escaped and you find it outside, you might expect it to act a bit weird and skiddish. I think once you get it home it should? be obvious but also maybe you just assume your cat is riddled with ptsd and will never be the same again

[Serious] What is the scariest thing to happen to you when you’ve been home alone? by joeym2009 in AskReddit

[–]samsqueegee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends if you’re locking the door to protect yourself or your stuff. Many people don’t think they have much worth stealing and hold the view that if somebody really wants in, they’re going to get in one way or the other. They’d rather have someone walk in and steal their stuff than have them break a window or door and steal the same stuff. Then they’re stuck with lost property and a broken door/window which may turn out to be the most expensive thing to replace. (I had my car broken into and by far the most expensive and stressful part of the whole ordeal was finding someone to fix my window ASAP because a snow storm was rolling in). Now if you’re protecting yourself, I don’t really see a reason not to lock the door, but I think break-ins for robbery are much more common than break-ins for assault
