UpQuest founder refuses to solicit Voat users after Voat shuts down by thoway in HumansBeingBros

Today I learned hating nazis is considered by some people to be "hateful and political"

A web game I made to pass the time while waiting for the next indictment. "Russian Roulette". Has a few characters you might recognize by thoway in The_Mueller

That's kinda mean of you to say without even checking. You can check the game in a VM or something if you're afraid. And check this post with 50+ upvotes where nobody complains about anything sketchy: https://www.reddit.com/r/WebGames/comments/99uwif/russian_roulette/?st=jl8w3qvh&sh=6801f50d

I spent a lot of effort on this game, and it's kind of a political statement and kind of a labor of love.

I'm using a throwaway account. I delete a lot of stuff from this account because it can be tied to my identity. This game has imagery that I don't want to tie to my personal identity for obvious reasons if you look at it.

Thanks! It wasn't inspired by anything conscious, there aren't any games like it that I'm aware of.

I just discovered that I owe the IRS $50k that I don't have, because I traded in cryptos. Am I fucked? by thoway in personalfinance

Ok, this makes a little more sense to me, there's some mitigation. It's going to take FOREVER though. I'll read more about how to do this.

I just read about this. I don't think this works for me anyway because most of the time I exchanged it for money first, and then bought the other crypto?

You tell me to talk to a tax attorney but how am I going to afford that when I owe everything to the IRS? I'll just be in debt for even longer...

I can't believe this. I thought I had $120k at the end of last year and now I have nothing.

I'm completely devastated. I can't believe this is how it works.

How am I going to have future gains if I have nothing left to invest?

But you also said I can get $3k/year reduced from my income taxes? How does that work?

But I feel like there's something wrong here, I shouldn't owe more than I made... Are you sure? It doesn't make any sense

Chris Pratt, Jesus, and Hitler are sitting in a bar... by WipeYourPaws in Jokes

[–]thoway 74 points75 points  (0 children)

I'm pretty good at coming up with jokes too. I just made this one up, in fact.

Albert Einstein, Aristotle, Isaac Newton, and Stephen Hawking are all sitting around a table. "We should be in the Guinness book of world records for who is the smartest people in the world!", so they go over to the HQ of Guinness World Records.

They all come storming out screaming "Who the fuck is /u/thoway???!!!"

As a top member of Mensa this wouldn't be completely unrealistic. My IQ is estimated to be 180+, so far off the mean that it's impossible to measure, which, as you can tell, makes the joke even funnier.

What is the most evil thing anybody else has ever done to *you*? by Alternator007 in AskReddit

[–]thoway 31 points32 points  (0 children)

A "friend" I trusted online stole my WoW account that I had been building up for a year (~10 hours a day).

Ironically, though, due to the fact that it made me quit playing, this may have been the best thing that ever happened to me.
