cute

I play drums. This is not a reasonable concern.

You won’t skill up in terms of being able to play a drum kit with this pad thing, but it will get you used to keeping time and learning how to separate your limbs (like how you slowly are able to tap a different pattern with your right foot than you are doing with your right hand).

if you’re worried about it, cross your right hand over your left and keep rhythm on the hi-hats with your right while hitting the accents with your left.

i think thats a bit of a damning assessment. dude just has a short attention span, doesnt mean you know them well enough to say what “kind” of person they are

nice PSA (seriously)

I respectfully disagree. Entirely.

I found the pun chains on reddit infantile.

Thank You, Dr. Nofun

im sorry? im afraid I dont get it

seems right

what in the fuck man

jesus christ dude

1574m how’d I do, boss

you’re funny. go have a look.

oh right, I understand.

its an interesting image anyway.

the pinhole itself has to be very small to ensure that the image is in focus

what is the translucent looking blurry film with two holes in the foreground there?

why did you do a double exposure?

my doctor said my T was on the low end of normal so he gave me this gel that you put a bit of on your skin every day. I did notice that my sex drive had been quite low for a week or so sometime before that. turns out it was probably just from the mild depression!

anyway I have found the receptionist at work hotter than normal, but she was dressed up to go out for a christmas party

So I’m interested in winning elections so that better people can have control of the vast power of the federal government.

Like it or not, these people- most people are the people we need to vote for our ticket, and we need to be listening to them and making adjustments, not saying “typical asshole, they shouldn’t be allowed to vote!” Come on.

We can’t have the electorate you’d like to have. These folks exist and will never hear your criticisms of them in this progressive silo. We cannot keep the government out of the hands of the MAGA people without their votes no matter how much you hold them in contempt.

there was a This American Life about the progress bar

well yeah

man I’m not going to read all that garbage. the fact is, your tax professional who didn’t know about the 2555 was an utter hack. someone else mentioning it to you is fortuitous for yourself, but its not the secret sacred hack you think it is. it’s understood by everyone else I know that lives outside the US. if you were paying taxes on your income to the US under 125k its because you hired an incompetent to help you with your taxes, or can’t read.

you’re honestly a strange person.

so, ive lived outside of the US for over 15 years and have filed taxes where i live and back in the US, where I file the 1040 and the 2555, because you have to. You don’t only fill out the 2555. I know a bunch of americans here and never once have I heard of the 2555 called a “FEIE Form” the way you’re describing it.

You said “you don’t pay tax on the first approx 125k”, and I pointed out that you absolutely do pay tax, just not to the US, you pay to the government in the country where you’re living. its not tax free, its just to the government of Australia or wherever you live instead of the US.

I also mentioned that people will pay tax on earned income under that 125k if youre in the states over 35 days, but that its prorated, so its not that you pay 100% of taxes all of a sudden, it’s what you would pay divided by 330 (if you were one day over, or 329 if you were over by two days, etc.)

just trying to expand and clarify on your post. apparently its your area of complete expertise and anyone saying anything is just googling shit to bask in the glory of your genius, though. stay cool
