To give a simpler answer, not all profit is income. let's say you own a small company and you earned 100k of profit in a year. If you want to take that 100k as income and pay yourself(the owner), you're going to get taxed pretty high. But instead you could really use a new work truck, so you buy a company truck that goes as a business expense and pay yourself the remaining 50k.
Companies have a lot of options in ways to spend their earnings without it having be taxed as income.
Yup, I've had the experience. I also think a lot of people don't know the lack of options you gotta have to consider the military a good option. Call it privilege. I'd never consider it for my kids, their education is already provided for. But I didn't have the same options.
Okay, most people don't find themselves in combat roles by surprise? Point is the military doesn't force you to do an MOS. If you work supply or artillery I'd say that's not unreasonable considering you know you're going to be on or near front lines to perform that job. Anyways, I don't mean to sound unsympathetic but the military is a good option for a lot of people who don't have many options
Sounds like you expect other people to live by standards you yourself don't live. Unless you're somehow a full-time soup kitchen worker you still contribute to the machine just by living in this country and paying taxes. The military can be a good option for a lot of people. But not a great option for most people.
Sounds like you've had the privilege in life to where something like military service is something you'd never consider. Be thankful you have that privilege.
My phone ran with it (showed up as the recommendation lol) 😂
It's supposed to mean that enough outside pressure has mounted to force the kind of introspection where you reconsider everything you think you know or are. In a way, you are releasing your 'self' in exchange for becoming one with the larger picture.
So you might have someone that let's say has a drinking problem.... They think they are managing and are not cognizant of how their behavior or actions are impacting others. You have an intervention so that the person can learn the weight of the burdens he's made other people shoulder, forcing introspection and a "come to Jesus moment"
TWD really was in my opinion the first TV show that had a social media hype train. And the writing quickly felt like a lot of fan service(plot armor and screen time) and shock value (intentional cliffhangers to spur social media conversations)... Other great shows like Breaking Bad and GoT also had huge hype trains but it felt like only connusuiers watched them. TWD was the kind of show that appealed to many generations. It was pretty sad to watch it go downhill. If they had finished strong the IP would be as highly regarded as Breaking Bad.
Yup. The seasons always felt like 80% of it was drama which would be later be irrelevant or subplots that would be unfinished, followed by 10% scheming and a 10% action packed finale where things would kind of reset.
I'm not sure if people just enjoy watching drama but even on some TV shows that I love for the brilliant writing(like Mad Men) it almost felt like too much.
Anyways I think I got to a season after the prison and I realized the loop was not pleasing to me because the characters had little progression, if that makes any sense.
LOL, those are reserved for important people when they come in. They're not for the people that work in the building.
Last place I worked had a ping pong table that never got used by the people that worked there, as well as an Xbox I never saw on
Agreed. I think most hobbyists establish a baseline minimum requirement, which some of it boils down to preference. That preference is usually for newer hobbyists to avoid the same pitfalls. Some may misinterpret it as gatekeeping if you recommend a nuanced opinion, but it's your opinion, anyone is allowed to disagree.
I think to OPs point, people asking "what kind of camera do you use?" Isn't meant to be offensive. It's an exploratory question meant to inspire discussion and it usually means that person has an interest in the topic.
People find the craziest things to be offended about nowadays.
I guess let people have their fun, but I agree. Class C space is pretty insignificant
