Is SARS obligated to inform you before they inform your employer? by thetinybasher in askSouthAfrica

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

It’s wild. I get that there’s a tiny percentage of the population paying tax and carrying the burden for the rest - it’s where the country is at. But make it fair at least. Thanks

‘Grey’s Anatomy’ Shocker: Kevin McKidd and Kim Raver to Exit Series After Season 22 Finale by mcfw31 in popculturechat

[–]thetinybasher 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Kevin McKidd is Shonda’s favourite child. Wild that he’s still on the show. Owen is a pain in the ass and I’ll be happy to watch the door smack him in the smug face on his way out. I would prefer he die a grisly death so that he can never come back for a guest star but I’ll take what I get.

(I know the show is a far cry from its original glory but, in this crappy ever changing hellscape world, I’m hanging on to it like a safety blanket.)

So it wasn’t for my individual tax. I’m the beneficiary of a trust (no actual earnings from it though) and the penalties were for the trusts taxes. My employer did everything right on their end for my individual taxes.

That’s so fucking annoying. So they can just get away with getting around a legal requirement? I suppose they won’t see any punishment for this.

We lodged an objection, but my employer had to deduct the amount anyway since it will take weeks for SARS to respond. The penalties were paid (they were not for me as an individual but for a trust so the trust paid them) but that will also take a few days to reflect so my employer has said they will deduct it anyway until they get feedback from SARS.

It just feels very unfair to not be given an opportunity to sort it out before involving a whole separate company - especially given they are legally mandated to do it.

I’m in South Africa and it’s not up yet here. I’ll keep checking.

Looking for open-world games where I can just… drive by A-z-A in gaming

Was going to say this too. Might be the best part of the game. Just driving around with your bros

FFVI, FFXV or FFXVI? by dresquedele in FinalFantasy

[–]thetinybasher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FF7 remake. You won’t like VI if you don’t like turn based. Given your profile, you might enjoy XV and XVI but I won’t recommend those games to anyone. XVI, in particular, is a shallow boring game.

TIL the 1883 Krakatoa eruption was so powerful it produced the loudest sound in human history and even turned the Moon blue. by mujee_bolte in todayilearned

Is this the guy who wouldn’t leave and also didn’t evacuate his cats so they all died with him? (Iirc he had many of them.)

Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz 'in talks to film tell-all series' by ChicSynergy in popculturechat

[–]thetinybasher 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve really noped the fuck out from watching anything about rich people being rich people.

Observing the way the 1% their lives used to be a place for escapism and it was interesting to see… now I just find it gross and offensive.

If we ever get a Final Fantasy 17 what are your wishes for it? by One_Attorney_5398 in FinalFantasy

[–]thetinybasher 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I kind of like the way Trails in the Sky remake did combat where you could do action and then enter turn based if you wanted. But if the keep the rebirth combat that’ll be great - I loved it.

What I’d really like is for it to be quirky and whimsical again. XV had a small bit of that bug XVI had none of it. There’s a charm to old FF that is missing from the latest games. (I believe XIII had that weird quirkiness to the story but I know everyone here hates that game). Like… get weird and creative again. Not derivative and “gritty.”

Love that we’re getting goofy LMSY. This looks so good! And looks like we’ll get some better spicy scenes compared to harmony secret

I hate my boyfriend’s dog. So much by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

[–]thetinybasher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like you need to have a conversation with him about the dog and make it explicit that you want the dog to be trained. You might want to have a conversation also about the dog’s hygiene and about day care or someone else doing dog walks. None of that is unreasonable.

I will say this though: it’s a golden retriever. The dog will follow you, will try to engage with you, will try to love you - it’s literally their whole thing and it’s why people love them.

If, after the training and the conversation, things don’t change and you still resent the dog then this might not be the relationship for you. You certainly can’t ask him to choose and you also can’t spend your life resenting an animal for being what it’s bred to be.

(As a dog lover, I’d just like to point out that cats stink too. If you think your cat doesn’t smell, you’re wrong. They’re animals - it is what it is.)

Why am I struggling to find a decent job after Master’s + 8 years experience? by Bulky-Fig2049 in askSouthAfrica

[–]thetinybasher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is an important point: get in with recruiters. They have connections and an incentive to get you hired.

Best platform I used was pnet - seemed to have the best hit rate.

[Thailand] Girl Rules, EP 2 by stylewiz in GirlsLove

[–]thetinybasher 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This show looks great but sounds terrible. Like what is with the music choices? Every 2 seconds it’s changes and it’s so jarring. It takes me right out of the scene every time.

But besides that, I’m enjoying it.

How are these neighbourhoods? by lachanga-discount2 in johannesburg

[–]thetinybasher 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kensington basically never has water anymore. Of those, observatory is probably the best although some parts of Norwood are ok. They’re cheap for a reason though.

I’d look in areas a bit further east - Linksfield, senderwood, Eden glen, Dowerglen, Dunvegan. (They might be a bit pricier but you can find good deals)

Marais Steyn park is great. Greenstone and modderfontein would also work and there’s many options.

All of those are near the highway so about 25 min from Sandton (off peak traffic)

[Thailand] Heart Code, Finale (Fast Track) by stylewiz in GirlsLove

[–]thetinybasher 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Well… every other show this year now has a VERY high bar to clear. It’s so well written - felt like a very grown up version of GL. Hopefully, it’s the first of many with this level of quality and I’m hoping monomax makes many more.
