I’m constantly getting pressured to run on the corporate hamster wheel. I’m so over that life!

I never set up my voicemail account because that’s ancient technology that shouldn’t exist. Unknown calls don’t ring and known spam is auto-blocked. I sleep well.

Same. My entire life has drastically changed since the before times. Maybe in four years things could possibly be fun again.

Oh no, a tool was used to make a meme that you will forget after 5 minutes! It’s not funny anymore unless it took 12 hours to create. But you’ll still laugh at stuff made by a meme generator using other people’s photography 🙄

I look forward to all your hand drawn contributions.

I wish, but no. I do have someone to fill that role though.

He’ll either come to realize the truth on his own, or prove you wrong. Either way, you should support him.

Have you considered embracing homelessness? I wish i wasnt being serious but it is an option that if planned for instead of being forced into, is somewhat freeing. The van dweller community is growing extremely fast right now.

Your not wrong. I’m not sure why you’re being downvoted for simply stating a fact.

I guess people are assuming you’re one of the people you’re mocking? As far as I can tell you’re Australian, so yeah, apologies for our american dickheads.

I’ve been involved in the BDSM community for roughly 15 years in the US. Tons of LGBT people, and I can say a large percentage are into IT either professionally or as a hobby. As for trans specifically, I’m not sure I’ve ever met one who wasn’t technically minded. That’s just what I’ve seen. Could be different elsewhere.

Anyone who doesn’t rent or own a home does not pay property tax (indirectly or directly). Thus, they are paying less taxes overall.

If you’re behind $1000 in taxes for a $250000 house doesn’t mean the government takes your whole house and you get nothing.

They typically sell it at auction and you get the leftovers.

And that seems fair to you?

I feel like I’m back on reddit again…

I’m just trying to point out that it’s stupid to tax some people and not others for “roads, services etc” and then when that select group of people fail to pay, they have their home taken away. Meanwhile the people who are not taxed, still get to use those same things.

i.e. Taxing property is fucking stupid. We should just tax everyone across the board.

But somehow I’m the lunatic when bringing this to light.

Indeed, you are not understanding. I do not own or rent a home. So again I ask, why are you paying more taxes than me?

Nobody is disputing the need for taxes or what their purpose is. The issue is that taxing a homestead is effectively a lease, even if not written as such.

It also begs the question, why are you being taxed more than me? We use the same roads, schools and services. Yet assuming you’re a homeowner you’re paying more for the same shit.

I guess a dollar amount could just be expected from every single person regardless of circumstance. Would that be better?

Yes, that would make far more sense to me than tying it to something arbitrary like land. Failure to pay should not result in homelessness. Especially after a lifetime to paying for said home.

Having to continue to pay for something that you “own” does not sound like ownership to many people.

The big one of course is home ownership, despite having to pay the government for the rest of your life.
