So Taxing [DOT 18/4/22]

Not only is it Monday, it’s Tax Day for you ‘mericans. Hope everyone had a nice holiday weekend.

Brunch went off without a hitch. It was chilly here but I still managed to get sunburned.

  1. I don’t get the Twitter bit.

     

    How do you get robbed of over 50,000…..more than once?

     

    Is that something like … A fool and his money …

    • …possibly…but what I found more confusing was it happening “5-7′ times…I feel like if I lost upwards of 50 grand I’d know it…so what’s with times 6 & 7 that makes them maybe not count?

      …that’s like saying maybe you had a hundred grand stolen at some point but then again maybe not…& I’m pretty sure I don’t get that being something you’d be uncertain about

        • People like him tend to use “stole” loosely, like a contractor charged him more money for doing work according to the building code, property tax assessors correctly appraising a house at a higher value, etc.

          • That’s my assumption. Plus Dilbert has been licensed up the wazoo. He could be referring to producers from the TV show, merchandisers who made plushies, book publishers, newspaper syndicates, all kinds of shit.

            Adams has a pretty poor reputation as a human being. I’m guessing this is a largely fictional narrative of “victimhood” from a rich white guy who likes to support other rich white guys.

            If he’s really had guns pointed at him that often he needs to rethink his life choices. 

  2. we’re having earthquakes again here…nothing major….i mean the worst we’ve ever had was a 3 point something on the scale..and this was half that

    nothing natural about it tho….wonder how bad quakes from gas drilling can get?

    • i like the number of fights ive been in :zero followed by i attacked 2 bullies but they surrendered without countering

      one of us does not understand the language hes speaking….and i dont think its me

      also kinda sounds like he was the bully

    • Yeah, I posted above. This is a fictional list of white grievances published by an asshole. If pressed, I’m sure he’d say it was POC who allegedly “pointed guns at my head.”

      Adams started as a engineer and like many of them he’s a right-wing nut job who has a bully pulpit thanks to his comic strip. This reads like complete lies. If he actually attacked a “bully” he’d have gotten his ass kicked. He’s a wormy little dude.

  3. well..that was a new one…

    i just met the neighbourladies new boyfriend

    6ft and a bit of tattood bald meathead that just walked into my house to say hi very enthusiastically

    now…i dont blame the neighbourlady for getting rid of the last one….from what ive gathered he couldnt keep his peen exclusive….and getting dumped is the least you deserve for that….unless ofcourse theres an agreement in place

    but i did have an agreement with the last one….just knock on the front door if you need me for anything

    seems like i need to set out the boundaries again….the new meathead seems nice tho
