Got put in the wrong bracket this year so we owed about $4000 federal. After deductions we still owed about $3000. Luckily we got back almost exactly the same amount from state taxes also due to a clerical fuckup. We ended up getting ~$100 back at the end.

Usually I get a small refund.

The next bracket by mistake? Shoot I'd increase your 401k contributions and anything else pretax. Helps if you are borderline.

was expecting to owe this year.

Hopefully I didn't fuck something up. It seemed pretty

Turbo Tax? This confused me. I don't get why they had a separate section for that. I skipped it entirely. cause it takes it out if my w2 statement.

Turbo Tax tried to charge me $200 at the end. I said fuck that. I tried to put a discount code and it didn't seem to apply.

I picked the higher tiered option, but didn't end up needing any help/support. That was my mistake. Turbo tax only shows fees for federal which was like $139. State was another 60. I ended up going to HR & Block in person for $159. I usually do it with a small business but don't feel like driving 80 miles round trip. And they aren't available on weekdays anymore.

Next time I won't wait until the last minute.

horny posts and new users are banned here

lmao at the last image. I think it's a step up from what it was before, which was nothing. Hairstyles, and body comp was the same. You could only change eye color, hair color, skin color, and clothes.

Yes it needs improvement.

If you know it's actually not your package, I would just turn it over to the post office and let them deal with it.

This.

This ability is worth millions. Nobody in their right mind would take 50k over it.

We're talking about saving hundreds of thousands of dollars of your lifetime on hygiene products that will go well over 50k, and hell, your health. Not to mention social and professional relationships, and you save time from cleaning yourself and going to doctor/dentist appointments, or anywhere really.

You can work for companies and have them test their products on you. Which could save them millions of dollars.

No offense, but this poll really wasn't thought out. Should have put the money in the millions.

For some reason I thought it was going to be about something horny.

I drink one cup in the late afternoon. No cup in the morning because I'm on a stimulant

I had someone like that in my CC library do that +15 years ago. I didn't say anything. I wish I did..Absolutely disgusting.

Yes. Schedule a visit to the doctor. You never know what it could be. Ulcer, fissure,.hernia could be some other kind of internal bleeding.. Or something else.

I don't mind politics being banned elsewhere (notably gaming boards), but the fact that they aren't allowing anyone who hasn't visited CE recently back in again (or new), sounds pretty fucking ominous to me. They want this board and political discussion to die.

There was only a week where I worked from home, in which I would normally drive to work.

The lockdown got me into running once the gyms were closed, but it sucked ass.overall. My dad got diagnosed with brain cancer and it wasn't easy during the lockdown, especially in hospitals. Nurses didn't want my mom there half the time. Then I lost two jobs in 2021 and my dad passed away 11 months after diagnosis.

I spent more time with my dad then I ever did, but those moments were fleeting.

Why do you need to translate signs?

So they know where they are going. You can ask someone though.

If you'd asked me 15 years ago, I'd have absolutely wanted to go to Japan, but I'd really just feel disrespectful going to Japan at this point, cuz I don't know shit for Japanese and they really don't have a ton of latitude for that.

Like, I COULD absolutely still go to Japan, but I'd feel bad about it.

This is a strange thought process to have. Most western tourists don't know a lick of Japanese. If you travel to the cities, you will be fine. I didn't need a translator. Some people (service industry) spoke English in the cities, But there's apps for that now. if you visit the country/non touristy areas, you'll probably need Google translate.

I went to Japan for work 6 years ago for 2 weeks ago. I actually bought a hardware device for language translations, but I never used it. Total waste of money. it's crazy that in 6 years time we have real time translating.

Knowing some Japanese helps, but you can get by as a tourist. If you intend on living in Japan, then you absolutely need to know Japanese.

would you do it

Edit:

the job is 10 hours a day, 4 days a week. Off Friday Saturday and Sunday, above average pay for your area.

I already am working an 8 hour job M-F that averages 45 minutes (if I take traffic on my way back into account).

Yeah I'd consider doing that schedule if I'm salary (can get off before 10 hours if my work is done), it's a really good company and the pay is worth it.

I think so. I think it said he was bleeding from his head when cops arrived. So she must have got some hits in.

Did he shoot her two times after she started hitting him (assuming he shit her once first).

$16 and I do a $4 tip to my barber.

This is god awful. Poor lady.

Did the video say she tried to fight back?

Favorite ice cream flavor.

At least cars don't cost that much. Non luxury I mean.

CE or the site?

Well at least you get 3 karma losses and then warnings.

refmon posted...

seems like a similar message board

90% of people would get banned within the first month..

People complain about getting moderations here is hilarious to me... This site is incredibly lax, and has been so for at least 10 years. I like the quality posts there, but you can't have your own opinion if it's against the grain. If it's controversial you will get banned. If you get banned, you can't contest it (last time I checked), and it's permanent.

Closest friend huh. What's their stance on the Palestinian and Israeli war?

I heard. Damn going to work would have been frustrating. I think it was for one hour.

Wasn't Keanu Batman in the Lego movie (or was it the DC pets movie). He was pretty good in that. He was well in that one cat movie.

I hope he really gets into it. Maybe he's better at voice acting

I went to the movies with a girl from online dating last night (new Godzilla movie) and on the way out I saw that the theater is doing a 25th anniversary (obligatory: fuck I'm old) showing in a couple months. She's never seen it, so if I haven't chased her off by then I'm going to drag her to see it.

I watched it today and still thoroughly enjoyed it because my sense of humor hasn't really matured over the last 25 years.

Was this a first date?.. How many dates in did you watch a movie?

Fast ones are more dangerous. They are more likely to tail gate and road rage, and not use signals. Some tend to weave in and out like crazy, and they just come up from behind you in a split second.

imagine them banning people with Lupus.

Not sure how they will verify they have a disease outside of obvious ones.

Are you asking for a friend? Is it a friend or family member?

LightningThief posted...

Single and dating around.
Although one of women I'm dating is pressuring me to commit. Not ready yet tbh.

how many women are you dating right now, and how many dates have you had with them?

@SpiritSephiroth can you confirm?

Not sure if I'm supposed to take the 3rd or 4th option. I guess 4th

two pence coin? wtf

GoldenEye on NSO kinda ruined my memories with the game as a kid. The controls and lack of customizable controls is horrid.

PD was an improvement in nearly every way. The music, the maps, the single player mode, the futuristic setting. Battling sims was huge as well..

I'm 27 and never had a GF. It's hard... can't lie. But i'm slowly giving up tbh.

But that doesn't mean that I'm not going to take care of myself. I have tons of hobbies, go the gym several days a week, very social, etc. I'm actually happy being single for a long time. But I would like to have someone to spend time with.

I hate to be a downer here.. but the "go to the gym bro! be more social! take care of yourself! use dating apps!" doesn't really guarantee you a GF nowadays... sure, it can give you more chances, but it's not a 100% guarantee (duh). This is what I've learned and it hit me like a train. Been taking care of myself since my early 20's. Still no GF.. lmao.

Doesn't help that others around me are less social, no social hangouts like bars/clubbing (even tho I don't drink), etc. Only place I can meet someone is.. my gym.. hahahah.

Don't give up. I was your age when I first dated. And it was with like one person and one date. I blew it. Then I had an in and off thing with someone 2 years later. u didn't really take dating seriously until my early 30s..
.The more dates you go to and learn from them, the more comfortable and confident you will feel talking to women. You can also try talking to friends of friends and other people/groups outside of online dating.

deoxxys posted...

Not if you're dating solely online, you're add a disadvantage in the beginning. Men make up 75% of tinder, 65% on bumble, the trend continues across the board.

Also I highly disagree with your statement, If it goes the way of your typical online discourse, your argument will be that they just are asocial nerds who won't shave their neck beards, bathe, get in shape, refuse to dress nicely are misogynistic, etc.

Older women don't exactly have it easier. Women in their early to mid 30s do have an advantage over men imo because there's less of them en , but their value in men's eyes diminish a lot after, if they want kids.

Besides that.. Ask yourself what you have to offer to women. Do you have a good and stable career, are you health conscious, are you keeping up with appearances, do you have a decent profile description and pics? I say this because most women these days have more degrees than men do and are more career driven before and make decent money. So they expect the same. Men need to play catch-up. Best to try and date someone in your league or under you are a dude.

I dont think I emotionally developed enough to have a girlfriend.

But you can. Go out and talk to people. Work on yourself. Your career, your health, work in relationships with friends and family.
Cemith posted...

I'm a fucking goofy nerd weirdo but even I have met several women, including the one I'll probably marry.

I don't mean to disparage CEmen about this, but like,

Be social
Be clean
Be kind
Have passion for things

That's literally all you really need.

This so hard. And be positive and secure (or at least act like it).

bsp77 posted...

Yeah. Even in my 40s I could date women in their 20s. It gets easier for men as they get older.

I think that depends... Having more relationship experience and wealth accumulation definitely helps. I"m not sure how you met your current wife.. if it was through online or via person.. But more women these days want to date someone close to their age or +l-3, and they will filter out people after a certain age. 36 is not a great number compared to.. 35. Not many women in their 20s are willing to date men in their mid to late 30s online at least. General health is also important to women these days than before I think.

Irony posted...

Not really, once you hit your 30s basically everyone that's in your range is a single mom.

Not true at all. Majority of people I see are not single moms. They're actually rare from what I see. And they aren't my first pick. There's more divorced women though, but they are uncommon.

But I will say when it comes to online dating, your options narrow. Especially if you are past 35. But you can still find loads of people. Just less younger people (less than 29), and more so in the 30 range and up. Women are picky as it is, but when they have more people due to much more men existing on online dating apps vs women--and the fact that women have more degrees then men do--as well as women tending to date someone their social status or dating up.. Means men need to step up their game. Have a decent job, good ambition, physically fit and a good profile will help you get dates. But you are competing with other men and pretty much need to pay for a subscription service on a dating app to get your money's worth of matches.

I'm working on it. Had a date with two different women since Sunday. One day I'll find someone. The hardest part for me is finding someone I am really attracted to with a lot of common interests and no red flags to chat and then date with me. The actual dates and in person conversations are easy.

Look at the software exclusivity (including subscriptions/game pass). Does it interest you more than PS5? MS has exclusivity/priority for games from Bethesda and Activision/Blizzard. If there's at least 3 games you are interested in, and you plan on buying more, it can be worth it.

You do yourself no favors if you buy into the concept of Japanese vs foreigner, they'll lump you in with every annoying person or criminal who isn't Japanese, because you're all "foreigners" instead of Americans or Chinese or Korean or whatever.

Uhh.. You will go a long way in Japan if you respect their culture and learn to communicate in their language. You won't have the same respect as being a native Japanese person, but it's much closer to being one vs an ignorant foreigner who chooses not to learn and respect the culture.

A perfect body with the bonus of having knowledge and skills beats any amount of money in my opinion. Even if it was infinite money, I would still pick the perfect body.
There are things that money can't get, things that money can't achieve. There are things that money can't fix.

There is nothing insane in not choosing money.

I hard disagree unless it literally saves you from an incurable and terminal disease that is ravaging your body. You can do so much with 50 billion. Learn martial arts at a tiny fraction of the price. Have your friends and family live comfortably. Do things you've always wanted to do including traveling. Give away money to research and help the poor. Literally save thousands of lives vs 1. Hell, build a suit or have 24/7 body guards.

You don't need a "perfect" body for martial arts. Basic self defense is important but you don't need to be winning tournaments. Martial arts is a last minute resort in an actual street fight anyway.
