#do they pay taxes??

[soloorganaas]

do you think US wizards need health insurance for wizarding hospitals? is there like a separate plan for magical healthcare?

#harry potter #wolfstar #these are the questions that haunt me #but fr if we assume that US wizarding cultural/social norms and functions are similar to US muggles #then there’s no reason why they’d do healthcare differently #come to think of it who funds st mungos #is there a magical nhs #do they pay taxes?? #hp

100,000 dollars is not a lot of money.

it is also a lot more money than i will ever have. my student loans make up half of that - they're coming back, i'm told, like we all bounced back recently. the other day while paying for gas to go to work, i overdrew my account without knowing it.

i sat in the car and looked at the charge and tried to do the math. where the fuck is the money even going? i don't live extravagantly. i live in a hole in the ground, in an apartment the size of a sneeze; covered in ants. yes, i wanted to live close to a population center. maybe that's my fault. i've downloaded the apps and i've spoken to the experts and i've cut back on excess. i can't help the pharmacy bills or the medical debt.

i have a good, well-paying job. when i googled it to see if i was getting a fair salary, i found out i'd be making "upper middle class" money. which doesn't make sense - is "upper middle class" now just "able to afford a one-bedroom without a roommate". when i was younger, upper-middle meant a nice big house and a backyard and vacations and not flinching about eating at a resturant.

i was talking to my friend who is a realtor. he said 100,000 dollars is extremely cheap for housing. he's not wrong. 100,000 dollars would change my life. 100,000 dollars also won't really buy you anything. it could get you out of debt, potentially, if you were lucky and had a certain amount of scholarships to tack onto your degree. you could pay off the car and then have enough left over for "spending" money. how fucking amazing. one vacation, maybe two if you're thrifty. and then - like magic - the money would evaporate into nothing. people would sigh and tell you see, you should have put it into savings! like "upper middle class" people can't afford to value "actually living" over squirrelling wealth. you should spend your life only in scarcity. like that is what made the rich people all their real "actually a lot of money".

100,000 dollars would literally set me free. it also would just set me back to "earning normally" instead of paying down debt into infinity. god, do you know how many of us just want that? that our first thought is we could stop scrambling and just be free of debt if we won the lottery? that we don't even necessarily need to stop working - we just wouldn't have to worry about failing or falling?

and. at the same time. 100,000 dollars is next to fucking nothing.

#writeblr #me paying my taxes this year: #haha good to know im literally doing more for my community out of my tiny apartment #than most corporations will do in their entire scope! :) these motherfuckers will NEVER pay taxes!!! #bc they lobby others to be sure we CHOKE :) !!! #i hope this is clear like. this isn't someone being like ''haha if i got 100k it wouldn't be a big deal'' #it's more like. the gap between corporations and the ppl WORKING in those corporations #has become HORRIFIC. 100k to the company i work for is like. pocket change to them. #and it is LIFE CHANGING for me. #they could cut me a check for 100k tomorrow and not even budge their margin of error

love that nobody can function without echo in the empire era. the batch keeps losing the ship, barely manage to finish their missions, and entirely forgo strategy. and then on the other hand, rex pre-echo-joining-the-rebellion was living in an abandoned garage with one singular tiny ship. then shortly after echo joins they have a whole base with like twenty troopers and real doors and actual food and a ship actually designed for long distance travel.

#star wars #tbb #the bad batch #tbb s3 #tbb echo #tbb rex #captain rex #redbean talks #i feel like gregor has also been instrumental in the clone rebels learning life skills #from the sound of it he had to teach everyone to cook and feed themselves #(what was rex eating before?? bar food and rations apparently) #and then even in rebels gregor seems to be the one doing the food management and housekeeping stuff #he probably had to show rex and wolffe how to do taxes and pay rent #he's the only one with any actual experience at living outside the gar #(and even then he was pretty bad at it on abafar? but that can be excused because amnesia and brain injury)

[scarycranegame]

people who post about "i'm not proship or antiship, i pay taxes" have the same energy as people who joke that their pronouns are "nor/mal": they aren't funny or interesting and they're inadvertently enabling fascist & bigoted behavior

#not fandom #proship #proshippers please interact #anti anti #''i pay taxes lol im a grown up!!'' okay then go live your boring-ass life somewhere else #gives the same energy as a 16 year old kid who just got his license.. ''ooooo look at me i do BIG BOY things'' shut yr fuckin lips #go back to the boring bitch table; the cool people are talking #just to clarify im not dissing paying taxes. im dissing bragging about it like these dumbfucks do #pay your taxes all you like but no one wants to fuckin hear about it #scary crane rambles

“It’s been so long since your last post about building your new fence, we really miss hearing about it” said no one ever, but here’s yet another fence post (<- laugh) anyway. Progress has been made!

In the above pic you can see the new gate was still held close by a piece of string, but I found a tree root that makes a cute latch, here it is <3

I had the worst trouble screwing it in! The last few fence posts I bought were acacia because the store ran out of chestnut ones, so I discovered that acacia is unbelievably hard. It’s nice to know the posts will last a long time, but they killed a drill bit without breaking a sweat. I didn’t know wood could do this to metal:

In the first pic you can see that fence posts have been installed to the right of the gate, but nothing else—well the crossbars and wire netting are now in place:

Since I screwed the crossbars on top of one another to make the fence a bit higher, the wire netting didn’t go all the way up, so I had to do some patient lacework with string to fill all the gaps, or else Pampe would put her head between the bar and the netting and just push down to widen the gap and squeeze through. (Lived experience.) But it looks oddly nice:

I also left 1 gap at the bottom, too small for a llama but large enough for a Pandolf and two chickens to enter and leave the pasture as they please. (Though Pan can’t gain any weight in his butt or he won’t fit anymore):

At one point I had to go to the store to buy some more washers and bolts and I met a teenage cow happily wandering on the road far away from her family. It’s always nice to know I’m not the only one with fence troubles.

Go back to your mum immediately young lady! I have a llama who would be very proud of you.

I used to have a very convenient little tree where I hung the hay nets, but unfortunately it had to be felled when we built the greenhouse. But one of its roots became the door latch, and I also salvaged one of its branches to build my new hay net holder where the tree used to be, so it will continue to carry hay nets in the afterlife. I intended for my modern art installation to look like a llama but everyone is telling me it’s more of a moose:

The target audience was very puzzled by it at first, and Pirlouit was the first animal who dared to approach it because he would do anything for his hay.

Although at first he stretched his neck and lips as far as he could so he wouldn’t have to go too near the hay holding-animal’s head...!

Then everyone followed his lead (except Pampe who in the below pic is right in front of me checking the fence for weak spots) (but there have been no llama escapes through the new fence! it is as of yet undefeated)—and then even baby Poldine started eating hay :) For the first time! She was just waiting for her hay to be served to her hanging from the spine of a wooden moose butler.

#crawling along #llama drama #the only area still unfenced is the 20m length to the left of the gate #and then it will be all done #finally! #i've spent the past two years buying a few fence posts every month to do it little by little it was like paying a monthly Pampe tax

Amity Park citizens canonically commit tax fraud

Welcome to my TedTalk

Doctor’s Disorders:

Jack: Oh yeah and why should we trust you?

Betrand: Because I’m with the government and we can audit your taxes if you don’t.

Double cross my heart.

Mr Lancer: And what makes you think I want to co-operate with the feds

Operative K: Because ghosts are a constant threat to your student body.

Operative O: And because we're with the government and have access to your tax records.

Mr. Lancer: What do you want to know and how fast do you want to know it?

Conclusion

Amity Park says fuck the government and taxes.

#amity park #danny phantom #giw #guys in white #bertrand #mr lancer #jack fenton #the fentons #operative o #operative k #dp #at the very least jack and mr lancer don't pay taxes and I find that possibility hilarious #anaylsis #my stuff #meta #taxes and death do not apply

you know the contrast between how Vergil is presented vs thinking too hard about Vergil’s story is pretty funny. Man’s reputation is this iconic badass, the pinnacle of what video game rivalries can be, the coolest guy to play as, the guy who breaks every game he’s added to,

and then you go to the story and like. man’s lost his free will and autonomy at 19 and then came back a fractured man half of which was a lovecraftian eye beast the other half of which was a chronically ill goth man. and then he reunites and hes in like his 40s now I believe but legit the last time he was actually in a game where he wasn’t being mind controlled when he was 19 which is both sad but also thinking about how this guy who’s considered one of the top badasses of gaming has never really lived life outside of being a teenager.

Anyways this is the secret comedic potential of post DMC5 for Vergil because not only has the human world probably changed a fair bit in terms of technology, if he’s sticking around Dante he’s gonna actually have to learn in depth how taxes and grocery shopping work. Amazing.

#thinking about dmc seriously for the first time in a while...I never stopped the occasional canary reblog but hmmmmmmm #like I imagine post 3 Vergil was probably similarly doing mercenary/demon killing work to get money like Dante was and thats sorta shown in #the novels. but like before that when he was a young young kid just post attack he was probably just living feral in an alleyway or smth #with just the yamato prolly similar to how v at the start of visions of v was. that child mugged and dumpster dived ok #point is while obviously he got to a place where he wasnt like. broke and homeless by the gilver era hes probably not had to think much #about money besides it buys me food and clothes mans was confused by one goaland power and yada yada while guess what buddy now you're #gonna be consumed by adulting. I dont even think he'd be that bothered by Dante not paying the bills at first but once he settles into human #living and gets a firsthand experience of what a cold shower when the heating is off feels like he is ON his ass about it #he pretends hes sooooo above human concerns until he has to live them lol and nowhes in charge of devil may crys finances prolly #nero taught him how to do taxes I bet #devil may cry #vergil sparda #vergil

If you're wondering why I set up ko-fi membership stuff after I really resisted monetizing in any way for so long, btw... Honestly, it's because taxes and some big surprise vet bills this month kinda. decimated my savings. by a lot.

Normally I'm okay enough financially, but I'm in a really high cost of living area, and it's just been a really rough month in a lot of different ways.

So, if you're interested in supporting me or my work, whether it's with a membership or a one-time thing or whatever - and only if you can genuinely afford it - that would honestly be amazing and more helpful than I strictly like to admit

As an extra incentive, if this ko-fi thing goes well, I'll commit to actually answering asks and shit again lol

Either way <3 <3 to all of you

#me #admin #blog business #not news #ko fi #the federal tax system is fucking broken #literally appalling that I made below the poverty line last year and still owed $2k in taxes #that should be illegal to do to anyone #not that “the US tax system is broken” is news to anyone but yknow it bears repeating #vet bills are like medical bills also super broken in the us #I should not have to pay this much money just to say goodbye to my baby #..................yeah like I said rough month #maybe keep me and my baby Roo in your thoughts this week #that would be really kind <3
