mindphlux posted:tell me more, I'm sort of curious/afraid about this. When you file married you're filing on joint income and things haven't really been adapted to the modern two income household. A lot of times that bumps poorer couples up/ makes them ineligible for certain deductions, stuff like that. I think ~50 percent of couples end up paying more than they would unmarried, 30 percent save money. There are a few protections for extremely low income families if you're each making comparable 40+ salaries your taxes will probably go up. Be aware of that when you're changing tax forms so you don't own an extra three grand next year! Edit: yeah married filing separately is almost always going to be a disaster, you have various state laws dictating how you split your income and then you can't claim like child credits and college credits and all kinds of bizarre poo poo, it's basically only useful if you accrued and paid a zillion dollars in medical debt or got a car that was only in your name stolen and also didn't have insurance Gourd of Taste fucked around with this message at 21:24 on Sep 21, 2012 |

I have some earned income from the beginning of the year and my self-employment income is just barely starting to pick up. Between that, being relatively poor for now and having a kid I'm going to be getting a fat refund for this year. Next year though, ho boy that's going to suck.

OMFG. Cold-smoked jaccard-tenderized flank steak and served it cut thin against the grain fajita style after cooking it to a nice mid-rare with a huge crust. Unreal. The crust is like bacon. The texture with the smoke just works. Always need to smoke more beef.

mindphlux posted:poo poo that was my next thought. You have to be careful when filing jointly if your incomes are very different because it's really easy to have too little tax withheld from the person who earns less. After Mr. W and I got married and moved to Louisiana, I got two jobs. I filled out both W4s as married filing jointly/withhold at higher single rate figuring I'd be fine and get a reasonable refund. I didn't realize that there is a second page to the W4 (I don't my employers did either) and the IRS happily assumed that both jobs were my only job and didn't tax the first 8k(or thereabouts) from either. Mr. W was two tax brackets north of me that year. We ended up owing a lot.

The "marriage penalty", although real, is one of those silly dog-whistle things that the republicans like to bitch and moan about; it's a pretty small penalty in the grand scheme of things. The reality is that the financial and legal advantages to being married are VAST... starting with the unlimited spousal exemption when you croak. Folks like Dino totally deserve that. I mean, you can hire a lawyer to set up some complicated trusts that will do that for you, but gently caress that, het people get that for free. Happy Hat posted:But that is the Danish system for you, having income redistribution is expensive, and so is having public services, so I pay happily. Agreed! I make decent money, and I pay a lot in taxes. And yet, I like paying taxes! Apparently though, this means that I Hate America. Drink and Fight posted:Gourd! Hey Gourd! Good to see you man!

Am I the only one who're provoked by insufferable NLP and their modern day sexually repressed, therapeutic and semi-religious fake nipple? I have a deeply rooted need to assist them in their positive envisioning of future states by throwing in a big loving monkey wrench of a reality check in their ever spinning wheel of self-delusion, by pointing out to them that the personal resource that they so readily assume is available to them is called intelligence, and that they are at the lowest loving rung of the ladder, with only the ability to step down. Or in other words... I have had yet another run-in with HR!

goddammit read this poo poo  http://www.nlp.com/Three weeks in PRC coming to an end. An endless carousel of crowded streets, stinking gutters around shining high-rises, beggars hustling stock brokers under bamboo scaffoldings, feeling like an isolated stranger constantly regarded and analyzed without the means to communicate properly. And food, of course, and rice wine, and an overwhelmingly friendly and hospitable family. I miss home. But I think I'll miss this place too. Especially the crab and the red-cooked pork belly.

That and 'mindfulness' are seriously getting on my tits! They had the audacity to suggest that my choice of language and ways of communication would be improved if only I joined their religion, and also that I would be able to better channel my energies towards productive ends through self-programming.... as if masturbating while crying isn't productive! I called them pod-people and started chanting 'one of us' under my breath. The meeting was very productive!

A few weeks ago I was listening to some interview on NPR with a linguist when some idiot calls in with a question about whether they believe that glossolalia was some sort of subconscious return to a universal human language. I wanted to crawl through my radio and smack a goon. (that said, it's still one of my favorite novels)

And yet on occasion, sometimes the best! The only problem is that most of the hosts are too polite to just hang up on the idiots. NLP isn't just for HR departments! Among other things, it has some overlap with hypnosis. For some reason that has never been clear to me, erotic/kinky hypnotists frown on NLP techniques, considering them to be immoral. Some of those creepy Pick Up Artists types promote certain NLP techniques, so maybe that's why. Thanks for the link, there are just too many ghost pepper videos on Utoob now.

Wroughtirony posted:Oh god. That's not such a weird thing to assume I guess if you're the average dumbshit who sits at home and thinks too much. I've mentioned this before several times, but it just fits more and more: linguistics, number theory and nuclear/quantum physics are the Three Great Crazy Person Sciences. Crazies swarm to those fields like rats to cheese. I once had the stupid inclination to mention Ulam spirals (a way to print integers in spiral patterns to create noticeable clusters of prime numbers) to a random crazy chick after a soaked night and I spent the next two hours frantically trying to explain what a polynomial is and how some are richer in primes than others and how prime numbers aren't magic or supernatural at all.
