Proportional taxes, inflation defense, lower credit standards. My wife and I live in the lower-class bracket. We have been trying to move to a different state, and even with a credit score within the standards, the missing pre req is a standard income. Since my VA disability is tax-free, it is not supposed to be registered for income, and if one person uses that as their primary income, It's shown that one spouse has zero income and that the other spouse is paying an amount that's shows that income is hemorrhaging

I agree to the least extent. I agree that when people express their hate, it doesn't bother me. However, I'm a smartass. I always have something to say about everything, which, fairly, I should work on. But I'm also a pretty skilled smartass. I've resorted to translating the smartass statement and then taking it word-for-word serious. It upsets people so much

No. Don't yeet her out, but lobbying, absolutely. We as Americans need to start pushing OUR representatives to do what WE want. The official middle-class annual income is around $54K - $161K. Huge window, and those numbers are obviously embellished because it's claimed those numbers make up 50% of Americans. 11% of the percentage left over is poverty level, lower Class is 29%, and the rest is upper or upper-middle class.

So 41% of Americans can't or struggle affording the American Dream.

Now, let's look at tax brackets (which socially in America is what really defines your class)

$0-$11,000 essentially means you're homeless or in prison $11,001-$44,275 means you're impoverished $44,276-$95,375 is lower Class $95,376-182,100 is lower-middle class $182,101-231,250 is middle class $231,251-$578,125 is upper-middle class $578,126 and up is upper class.

So in substance, there are 7 tax brackets that represent "all" of the American people. When they say "Middle Class," they include all of the tax brackets that include the word "middle" and take the higher ends of lower-class. So they are embellishing the numbers to make it look like the majority is being spoken for, but what they're actually doing is fudging statistical numbers to try and cover the "majority" of Americans in 3 tax brackets.

This is how I felt when I played Kindgom Hearts 3. It was a true sign to me that I didn't have as many interests as I did as a kid

You're not wrong, but it was a difficult vote because all she lobbies for is "The Middle Class". Like I don't give a rat's balloon knot about the middle class. What about people who are stuck in a lower tax bracket trying to get a house? What about those same people trying to get enough money to save so their children can be in a higher tax bracket. Dem reps are throwing "Middle Class" around like they're an unrepresented minority, and haven't said anything about lower Class people that are having to live paycheck to paycheck because of inflation and shit peasant pay.

I had a bunch of kids dress up as my dad and not show up

Well, you seem like are person that I don't want to speak with even online. Have you thought you might be the prlem?

[–] EABOD25@lemm.ee 11 points 1 day ago (6 children)

It's a simple solution; don't hate. If you disagree, find a more creative way to express it besides "fuck off".

Try this one: say "I hope the rest of your day is as pleasant as you are"

Honestly looks like a scam email because it's as little detail as possible. Did you check the email? Bet it's going to be a bunch of numbers "@gmail"

You would have to live in a state (Hawaii included) long enough to be in resident status, then they can register to vote

 

I used to be able to stream the song "Black Honey", but it wouldn't show up on Google music to play. Like it just got wiped. And now the song "Beyond The Pines" which the two videos were a storytelling bit. And now you can't get that video on YT. What issues is Thrice and Google having? Is there a way to stream their whole albums? And who's on the right side?

Edit: I got the song Hurricane and Beyond the Pines mixed up for the story, but you still can't stream Black Honey

 

Why does the title need to be worded like that? The worst part is that I've only seen them phrased like this with women celebrities.

 

So I often come here, even though I oppose the idea of saying "fuck cars". And yes, I do know it's not completely literal. However, I understand the logic.

With that being said, many people are using cars to be delivery contractors. It's not a necessary utility, but it is useful and is used by the vast majority of (I'll assume) 1st world countries. If vehicle use is reduced, what do you think would be a good strategy to keep this industry going? Yes, bicycles can still be used, but it would take more time, which would raise prices (capitalism). And another obvious solution would be to just do away with it and just go to restaurants. Do you have any opinions beyond those two that solutions I've already presented?

 

So I'm very sure the only original things with cooking is the mix of ingredients,

So with being said, I wanted to know if there's already a name to this.

What I do is take canned tuna, strain it and then add 2 tbsp of flour. I give it a good stir and then let it sit for 20 minutes. Once the 20 minutes is up, I'll throw a raw egg and 3 tbsp of flour and then I'll shake the container so there's a nice doughy layer over the tuna. I'll then fry it at roughly 425°F until golden brown (usually only takes a minute two). I'll remove from the oil and then put over rice or Asian noodles. It's a great lunch and you can add any sauce that you want to it (even though I recommend sweet or Asian sauces).

So is there an actual name to the tuna i fried? Or is it just a "wing it" kind of thing?

 

So I was a daily smoker and then I would take a rip, and immediately throw up. It would subside after a few hours and I was good for the rest of the day, but I thought it was weird so I stopped smoking for a couple of months, and figured I'd be OK smoking again this weekend. I took 2 hits, and immediately needed to throw up. They weren'tmonster hits nor did I get enough to even make me cough, but as soon as I took the second hit, I had to expell everything. Can someone please give me clarification on what is possibly going on?

 

James Earl Jones passed away today. I wish the best for his family and may the force be with him

 

I think a little clarification is needed. No. I don't actually think everyone there is insane. I don't care about the bans so stop trying to use that. HB enthusiasts coming here and trying to call me out achieves nothing besides proving my point

Edit: Feel free to keep trying to brigade me. It's not going to scare me to take this down

 

I love cooking and I love people loving my cooking. However, I don't like getting told what to do for long term, so working in a kitchen or restaurant is probably a bad position for me. I've given years of thinking about working or running a food truck with a rotating menu. It'd be cool to travel around and see different people a day enjoying my different dishes, but I've never actually heard the everyday ins-and-outs of working in a food truck. What are some experiences (good or bad) working in a food truck that you could share?

 

So recently learned from my doc that I need to follow a low fodmap diet. It's no big deal as long as I can eat potatoes (so many amazing things you can do with potatoes). I was wondering if anyone had some great low fodmap recipes that I could make that my wife (who doesn't need to follow the diet) and I could enjoy. I'm the cook, so as long as she enjoys it, we're good to go. I just made julienne fries with an egg on top and I found this amazing LFODMAP Louisiana hot sauce that I poured over it all. One of the best brunches Iade since I've had to follow this diet.

Edit: Thank you to those who are supportive of medical conditions such as IBS, Crohns, and Celiacs (which are the conditions that should use a low FODMAP diet). Also I'm very appreciative of people who are knowledgeable in the diet that I am referring to

FODMAP MEANS fermentable oligosaccharides, disaccharides, monosaccharides and polyols. All the things that are known to trigger reactions in certain GI issues that some people have. It's an important issue because you have serotonin receptors in your GI tract. It can also impact daily life and sleep!

However, I'm asking for recipes for low FODMAP diets. I ask very respectfully that if you do comment, please give me a recipe(s) instead of expressing the importance of the diet or that you know what the diet is.

Again, respectfully, recipes, please. Stop telling me you know what the diet is.
