  • Yes. Because for the kids that show up at my door without a costume, candy is probably not in their family budget, at all, ever. I load em up.

  • My pet peeve about these gutters is 4 way intersections where the city planner put stop signs for the direction that doesn't have to cross the gutters, and makes the gutter-crossing direction the primary right of way. We have to essentially come to a slow roll to not bottom out, just give us the stop signs as a heads up that we're approaching a hazard that eats undercarriages.

  • I agree, but the one person I knew who did this was a rich asshole. He had zero fucks to give.

  • Snek is just killing time.

  • I drove past a field the other day that had one of these set up for 2 miniature goats. It was friggin adorable.

  • The cat got up in the window after this. Deer were unfazed. This pair is a set of twins from this past spring. They and their mama have been hanging about all summer. I've been lucky enough to watch them grow from adorable spotted fawns to teenagers.

  • Haha, we had an older cat that would leap the baby gate that kept (not her) kittens from going downstairs. Even when the kittens were big enough to easily leap the gate, they wouldn't, and would watch in wonder as "big sis" would escape for some peace & quiet. It was a magic baby gate, obv.

  • Maybe speak to an airline booking agent? I wonder if the weight limit might be different in business class. Upgrading your seat might be cheaper than buying two coach seats.

  • Yes, there are dedicated animal transport services. Animals ride in a pressurized cabin.

  • If only they were still this easy to spot

  • I do want one. I've even designed it. I can't decide where to put it that aesthectically pleases me.

  • Never have I ever gotten a tattoo

  • I wanted so badly for the app icon to be a potted plant.

  • Yes but it's also a pun for "shit zoo"

  • I am an accountant. This comment is for discussion only and not to be used as tax advice. Consult your tax advisor for your specific situation.

    Ebay reports income if you sell over $20,000 [edit: earned in 1 calendar year], and then once you're on their 1099 list, you don't come off it even if you sell less. The actual IRS 1099 reporting threshold is just $600 per year. Ebay is appealing to the IRS to try to limit their reporting burden. They will eventually have to report all sellers that exceed $600, but they keep getting that pushed back.

    FB also issues 1099s now for sellers. I am not sure what their made up threshold is, but Marketplace has asked me for my tax info. I just took my things down and told it that I hadn't sold them through Marketplace. And I just noticed what linearchaos suggested... list the item as 'ask for price'. That may cut down on potential customers though. I know I scroll past items that want me to ask for price.

    Do not worry if you sell enough to be issued a 1099. As mentioned before, you can subtract the cost you paid for the items, all ebay and paypal fees, and even shipping costs if you don't charge separately for it, likely resulting in an overall loss. So no tax likely. Tax is only calculated on net income. If you start flipping obscure items of value from thrift stores, then you might get into taxable net income territory.

    Finally, to your question on does it count against your unemployment benefits. Likely. However, Ebay/FB don't report their 1099 vendors until mid- to late- January 2025 for annual 2024 payments. The reporting deadline is Jan 31. So you don't have to worry about it until then, and again only if you exceed their made up thresholds for sales.

  • They already have our email addresses and our mobile numbers. They should be sending us calendar invites, not some scrap of cardstock I'm gonna lose. My therapist has a system that sends text reminders. Why is my doctor not up to speed.

  • I did alright for a while. Changing up clients worked when I started to get bored.

    It's not going so great now. Considering a career change but also not wanting to throw away years of experience and a professional license. But yeah, I'm at "this is all bullshit and I don't wanna".

  • When it was first released, The Sixth Sense ending blew everyones' minds.

    Usual Suspects and Se7en as well.

  • I made a Bespin Leia outfit to wear to the opening night of Phantom Menace. On the way to the theater, I got pulled over. The cop was very weirded out by me. I did not get lucky with just a warning.
