I'm not lying, everything I'm saying is supported by facts, knowledge and experience.

you're upset because people won't lie down and die with you.

governments, peripherally, but the system in talking about doesn't contribute to billionaires anywhere near the way you're contributing to them right now.

this is what you sound like to someone who actually understands how the system works:

you are stranded in Antarctica.

you loudly complain about how Antarctica is destroying your life, how the cold is invading your bones, how you can't grow any food and you have no opportunities.

a rescue boat shows up, and says they'll take you wherever you want.

you claim that because extreme weather exists at all, there's no point in going anywhere.

you scream your anxieties at the rescue boat until they leave you behind, per your wishes.

that is how you are living, and how you want others to live.

I'm on the other side, supported by facts, knowledge and experience.

"There is only a few countries you can move to that allows you to not contribute to those billionaires."

ask questions instead of making things up.

you are incorrect. there are dozens of countries you can teach in, contribute to education, help small business owners and keep all of your income.

"I'm not saying that fleeing the US isn't a good idea."

don't flee the us, leave it behind where it belongs.

thank goodness, people needed to stop listening.

""They" is billionaires in general, not the Trump administration"

one or all, I'd suggest getting out of billionaire clutches.

"Living in a foreign country isn't the loophole you think it is."

yeah it is, specifically for this situation that you're complaining about.

you want things to be futile and hopeless, but unfortunately for your ennui, there are simple solutions.

stop working for those billionaires, and stop paying money into their system.

[–] Varyk -1 points 1 week ago

yea, like I said a few times, you should probably get out of that system.

[–] Varyk -3 points 1 week ago

sounds like you're missing the point.

"Not to say that dodging federal taxes isn't either good or neutral, but the problem isn't specific to this administration."

phew, good thing nobody said it was.

"Where are you living that the wealth you create doesn't end up..."

doesn't matter where you are as long as you are outside of the US for 330 days of a tax year, not a calendar year.

if you are outside of the US for 330 days or more per tax year, you are not required to pay about $125,000 in earned income tax per year (the amount goes up each year).

if you have a remote job, all you have to do is travel to countries with better services and a cheaper cost of living(most countries).

if you don't have a remote job all you have to do find a remote job you like or if that is too difficult, travel to countries that hire English teachers(dozens of countries with thousands of current postings).

[–] Varyk -1 points 1 week ago (28 children)

correct.

if you don't want to give your money to this administration, I advise not doing that, as stated above.

[–] Varyk 5 points 1 week ago

okay, thank you very much.

that's too bad.

The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern.

I cannot do it justice, but it's a love story set within a surrealist fantasy traveling carnival that is impossible not to believe in while you're gently gliding along the thinly veiled poetry elegantly masquerading as prose.

what a great game, good call

 

I used to take screenshots of the picture I wanted to use as wallpaper, but then Android stopped that from working, and now I have to manually add a giant border to make the screenshots fit the arbitrary fiant wallpaper size on the Android screen.

any normal screenshot I take is blown way oversized, is there any way to simply make a screenshot my wallpaper yet on Android?

it seems crazy that this is still so complicated years later on Android, am I missing something?

Thanks for any help

 

I remember

spoilera couple different things.

less clearly, i remember Hanks trying to kill himself, the branch breaking and then you seeing the broken tree until the scene fades to black into the next scene. but I suspect this scene was actually from another movie.

more clearly, i remember Tom hanks' character suicide-testing a wooden dummy to test the carrying capacity of the branch that is on a short but tall-enough cliff, but the dummy is too heavy and the branch breaks.

Branch can't break twice, so I'm clearly remembering something wrong, but I "know" that whatever I saw happened fairly early on in the movie and was not his description of attempted suicide near the end of the movie.

I remember a fairly lengthy (2-3 minutes) action scene of him physically testing the tree off a cliff.

other people swear that neither scene was in the movie and there's only the description of his attempted suicide at the end.

there are unsubstantiated rumors that the scene was in the theatrical version(which is the version i saw) but not in home releases.

I haven't seen the movie since I saw it in theaters when it came out.

What do you remember?

Vabarx, also known as the Yeerkbane, are large, transparent, and purple with a tubelike head. They eat Yeerks by sucking the controller's head until the Yeerk comes out.

Weirdos

 

the car models can be whatever, I'm just curious if anyone is dressing up their cheap cars as expensive ones or if this is an industry yet?

is there a legal hurdle?

is there a limit to car decision in general?

is this sort of car case business already a thing?

Wow, this is one of the best in my reread. I was riveted.

The shirt-abs on the cover are a little goofy, but the entire book is an absolute series of nightmares and moral horror.

A scrabbling shove into rough madness.

 

Thanks for making the community! Excited to check out the content

 

Also, thank you for posting and commenting and making such an exciting community thrive!

 

I keep seeing him but can't figure out his role in the memes. Is it random like the orb thing?

 

I love Bluetooth bone conduction earphones and I'm ready to buy something pricier, sturdier, waterproof, and hopefully sound far superior to everything I've tried.

I've had a few budget sets, and I love the convenience, portability, and weight of all of them, but the audio is obviously dog s***.

Are there any bone conduction headphones that are not dog s*** audially that any of you can personally attest to?

Thanks

 

Update: thank you everyone! user @Today has provided a great link of a discussion that suggests the correct answer is where being an abbreviation of, whereas as a replacement of since, hypothesized in these comments.

As I love archaic definitions, I'm more convinced to now that this is the answer!

Especially since the question originates from one weirdo using "where" instead of since.
https://english.stackexchange.com/questions/338694/is-it-ever-appropriate-to-use-where-instead-of-because-or-since


Like "Where we knew he was heading to Chicago tomorrow, we got on the first plane heading east to intercept."

"Where we knew where the safe was, we began to cut through the wall in the corner behind her desk."

Thanks

 

This is the first I've heard of it, but here's one of his infamous quotes:

"There is a trait in the Jewish character that does provoke animosity, maybe it’s a kind of lack of generosity towards non-Jews.

I mean, there’s always a reason why anti-anything crops up anywhere; even a stinker like Hitler didn’t just pick on them for no reason.”

His other quotes tend to be condemnation about specifically Israeli zionism and barbaric murder, but i don't have context as to whether he's referring to palestine or not. Some people might have more sympathy for these statements these days, but a lot of his other quotes have to do with Jews controlling money and media, less defensible prejudice.
