take your star... hahah

(Also no day is a bad day if it starts with sex).

The worst part of morning sex- Getting 5 minutes into it and realizing that the urge to urinate is becoming unbearable.

How to have morning sex: just go into work late, it’s probably worth it

By the time I got to middle school in the ‘90's, one of my history teachers was a reassigned driver’s ed teacher. That would have been in ‘92. By the time I got to HS, it was long gone. We were, of course, located in a factory town that had long since lost its factory, so the Reagan tax cuts probably hit us first and…

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…

I don’t know or care how much your situation and my situation compare. I do know that I pay taxes now, and I used to get a tax refund. Does it suck? Yeah, kinda. But now that my husband and I are both educated professionals, nothing is stopping us from up and deciding to be poor again. We could TOTALLY go back to low…

Can’t star this enough. Where are those deficit hawks?!? Didn’t we have a budget surplus before the Bush tax cuts? Aren’t these tax cuts going to increase our deficit by over a TRILLION dollars?

Taxes being raised on income below $418K is not giving up everything you worked so hard (debatable) for.

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…

Correct re: brackets. You can have two brackets or 200 brackets. Doesn’t matter since it’s just a matter of looking up your income and finding it on the chart. So it takes six seconds longer to find your bracket among the 199 others. It makes no difference in “simplifying” the tax code. Wanna simplify? Every dollar…

I would suggest that, if you think you are “(moderately) rich”, you are probably not the focus of HamNo’s ire, nor the target of the tax increases progressives propose. Even if you are being modest and you are actually in the top tax bracket (>$418k), you are extraordinarily well off and are in no danger of being…

Don’t forget the followup to the tax cuts - oh wow, now the deficit has exploded, we have no choice now but to cut health care, unemployment benefits, or anything else that benefits mainstream America.

Progressive taxation. I mean real progressive taxation - like there should be a 90% bracket over say $5 million a year.

Pretty much this. Meaningful wealth redistribution from the wealthy to the poor will not occur in this country without violent revolution. In the meantime, would it be too much to ask that the wealthy stop bleeding whatever little the poor have left?

Seriously.

tbh... anyone with half a braincell would have put the cigarette out the moment he grabbed the extinguisher... this idiot decided to call the bluff.... it was pretty much inevitable from there

Some dickwad flicked a cigarette towards my pump while I was refueling. As that happened a highway patrol serendipitously pulled in and saw the whole thing. Good times.

I don’t see a problem. One idiot who thinks he is the smartest one around can cause wreckage to that gas station and everyone and everything around it. Even idiots know that you shouldn’t smoke around fuel. Clearly this moron is a different kind of special.

Naw, clerk was in the right. Guy wouldnt put out his cigarette, endangering everyone else at the gas station, and backwards hat guy was acting like an asshole, so the clerk put out the cigarette, seems fair.
