1) omg yessssss! It’s the most wonderful time of the year!

This is not a ghost story, but a horrible human encounter. This happened about 4.5 years ago:

During my teen years, like most of you I assume, my boyfriend and I would spend most nights just driving around town. One night during winter, we turned down one road that we thought was a different road, but this one ended up being very narrow, unpaved, and hadn’t been plowed. Our car got stuck and there was no cell

You’re telling me. Every year I’m like “plz dont repost that story”

After being an adult for a few years nothing supernatural can scare me.

That is still the best scary story to date.

That one fucked me up.

That story is why I am no longer allowed to read scary stories.

Do you remember the story about how the kid was writing a paper with headphones on and there was writing all over the house that said “LOOK AT ME”? It still haunts me and that was I think like 3 years ago.

YES. THIS IS MY FAVORITE POST OF THE YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hmmm. I’d go with egg salad. Tuna salad seems like it has some dignity. But egg salad is more like “Welp, got nothing else in the fridge but eggs, mayo and mustard...”

The bracket simplification argument really burns me. We could go to 10,000 brackets and the computer I’m typing this on could probably compute every US taxpayer’s income tax in about 4 days, maybe 4 hours.

But NOOOO: “Reduce the number of brackets, THAT’S what makes the tax code so complex!” Lying liars with pants on

What’s super fucked is the fact that lots of people idolize the 50's and 60's. One of the defining features of the 5o’s and 60's? Sweet, sweet gubmint cash. Schools were super well funded. Christ, you could get driver’s ed in your average high school up until practically the 80's. That’s like $400-500 right there. You

The whole thing is a lie, the “savings” they discuss is based on a higher personal exemption while taking away more valuable deductions. I would be paying $3,000 more under the Trump Plan. The biggest lie is that a lot of tax brackets mean that the tax code is complicated. For most people the tax code is quite

>The proper way to think about it is, “How can the government remedy gross economic inequality by moving wealth from those who have too much to those who have too little?”

The only way to get their attention is financial. Pregnant women should start filing requests for Social Security numbers for their gestating “children”, other women should get one for every miscarriage or late period, then claim them all as dependents come tax season. If the number of claimed dependents jumps 25%

The christian religion does not belong in any government. I am not a deist, why am I being forced to follow christian sharia law? WHAT ABOUT MY FUCKING FREEDOM FROM RELIGION? WHY IS THAT SECONDARY TO THIS MYTHOLOGICAL BULLSHIT?!

The irony of the right using science to redefine when life “starts” is never lost on me.

Not to mention all of the ultraconservative judges Trump is appointing at all levels (and these are LIFETIME appointments).
