Tbh we could probably cut all tax to individuals earning under $100K a year and it would still work while also not effectively be a tax on living in a high cost of living area as an educated individual. A quick check of zillow’s calculator (which I suspect is generous) says that with 60K a year, 20K down and 1K a month in bills you have a comfortable home buying price range of under 200K in the Northeast, which might get you a mobile home. Might. We almost jumped on a mobile home for almost that much and it was old and needed work and didn’t qualify for basically any good loans.

100K a year but otherwise the same info affords 400K for a house, which is basically where you are starting for an FHA loan eligible house there.

At least I’ll have made it to 30… 15 years ago I didn’t expect to make it this far

I guess this explains the 20000 anti-drone missiles the US admin diverted from Ukraine to the “middle east”

Whiskeyleaks

I was just rewatching a handful of them a week or two ago, funny timing

Only state I’ve ever gotten a speeding ticket in, miserable shit state running a bullshit racket

“Abby’s”, based on the picture.

I’m pretty sure I read something from like 2015-2017 that was going over how someone in Trump’s orbit described Indian-Americans as the most MAGA compatible minority group because of India’s long history with Casteism.

Their blacklist is just a list of people who happen to be black 🤔🤔🤔

Totally did Nazi that coming…

I only still go to reddit for that on one account (in incognito). My main account has only recently logged back in for regular browsing (but I try not to comment and I only use old.reddit + res) because Reddit is where a huge amount of the information I’m trying to find online is still housed, game information, niche hobbies, etc… It may be rotting from the inside, but its corpse is still walking and talking, and until the situation gets bad enough people are going to continue using it. I only interact here, but with the nature of how small the communities are, and the fact that I use [All - Top -Past 6 hours] my front page is still basically just the same articles about every fucked up thing going on around me posted onto every instance so I see the same headlines and pictures of Trump almost a dozen times, interspersed with various fetish porn communities.

Doubled in the past month. ~$220 Billion to $440 Billion or something.

Shoo him away you mean?

Yeah, people really don’t understand how powerful a surveillance state can be when it focuses it’s eye on you. It’s not safe to talk about resistance around basically anything internet connected with a microphone.

Trying to protect neurodivergent people unfortunately shelters bad behavior as well as benign. Yes, the antisocial guy trying to start fights and hurt animals would’ve been driven out of society, but so would the harmless kid who needs things to be arranged by the last letter of its name or something. I’ve got some idiosyncrasies that make certain aspects of “fitting in” require more effort than most, and I definitely felt the difference in attitude towards how I struggled as I got older. Another hard to control factor is that malicious people can game those same attitudes that help people who simply can’t understand why they are different.
