Most Americans opt to have their employer take the taxes out and send them to the government for them. But its not required, we can choose to receive all of our pay and take responsibility for sending the government their cut ourselves. Its a PITA, but some opt to put their taxes in an account to earn interest for a year before paying the government. They view paying monthly as “giving the government a free loan.”

When you have your employer do it for you, your pay stub breaks down the amount you started with and how much was taken out for each tax. We can see what we are paying in tax on every paycheck which is why so many Americans complain about it.

That’s true. It hasn’t mattered for me, as I have never removed any from the lights I blocked with it. I would assume the purpose made stickers would be better about residue if they need to be removed.

He didn’t want you listening to her music. But I bet he would have appreciated you putting a poster of her over your bed.

I guess I’m going to live in a beekeeper suit treated with permethrin.

Blue tack is very handy stuff. But you know, they make blackout stickers for exactly this application. They look a lot nicer. Though personally, I just cut little pieces of black electrical tape.

“Blue jeans on a white t-shirt, she’s killin’ me in that miniskirt.”

The only reason we bought it was because my dad’s cousin was an extra in one of the classroom scenes. As a result I watched more times than I could count, and love cyberpunk stuff.

Great photo. Kinda reminds me of this:

That cow better be named Lucky.

That’s the holy sea.

Yep. Woman I dated in college. After we broke up she found out my class schedule and signed up for the same electives.

The only way I finally got her to leave me alone was to introduce her to the man she’s now been married to for 15 years.

In theory, if it worked correctly, it should be hygenic and better for the environment. But as other commenters have mentioned, in reality they get jammed alot and so the same wet section gets used over and over. Or the owners don’t actually wash the roll and it just gets respooled and put back when dry.

Yes. It’s a reusable towel system for drying hands in a public bathroom. It’s basically a really long roll of cloth that is supposed to get pulled down as its used and goes down into another rolld and washed and put back. I haven’t seen one in a really long time.

I’m not sure, but probably not “Red Dawn”

The freakiest part about this is how believably muskrat’s face photoshops in.

The “damn it I forgot, let me google it” option, back then, was looking it up in the set of encyclopedias your family probably had. Or if you didn’t have a set, or needed more elaborate information, you went to the library.

I remember it was a big deal as a kid when we got the encyclopedia Britannica on CD-Rom. So I could just type in what I was looking for instead of having to try to find it manually.

I’ve often thought about the idea that there is really no such thing as true altruisim. Because no matter what, you feel good about doing good. Even if you don’t tell anyone about the good thing you did, you still get a good feeling from it, therefore there is some inherent selfishness involved no matter what.

Of course there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. People should absolutely being doing good things and get to feel good about it.

I feel like a laser cutter would have left discolored edges. Could be a cricut style bladed cutter though.

Andrew Jackson was the cruelest so far. Give Trump more time to cook and we will see.
