Are servers taxed differently than non-service industry workers?

Tip income is imputed to people who work in ordinarily tipped positions, so if you're a waiter and you only report your $2.13 an hour (US minimum wage for tipped employees), you could be audited and fined.

It is all complete loving bullshit.

Also, why is an English person and her kids' class nattering on about Trump when they have a perfectly lovely Prime Minister of their own right there?

Unless this is a US person who is just so much of a tea-a-boo that she thinks US kids call their teacher "Miss", in addition to various Anglicisms.

11 years old really isn't that young anyway. They don't just completely avoid any mention of war, Native American genocide, etc. before high school, it's kind of impossible to learn history without that. Too young to read Night, perhaps, but a general overview of the Holocaust, sure.

We read The Diary of Anne Frank in I think 7th grade. That's pretty common in US middle schools/junior highs :shrug:

Cali tightened its rules in 2015. Here's a map; the states with yellow syringes for "philosophical objection" are the crazy states.

Most? All? states include both public and private schools in the vax requirements.

My understanding is that street harassment from construction workers reduced considerably once construction projects started posting names and contact information for the contracts they were working on - maybe in the 90s? I can find the study about this if you're interested.

Yes, asexual people have heard of sex, and should be aware that "in the bedroom" is a euphemism for sex.

Has polyamory ever worked out? Like, even once?

Yes. I know a polyamorous group who have shared a multifamily house for going on twenty years, and they all get along wonderfully. They're also big old hippies.

Ossie Davis and Ruby Dee had a happy open marriage for decades.

So, twice, at least.

If you count swinging as polyamory, I've interviewed a bunch of people in decades-long marriages or relationships who have been swinging the whole time.

So clearly this didn't happen at Louisbourg. Which is honestly not all that authentically recreated, given when it was done and that it was a giant work scheme for unemployed miners. Fun, though. Get the molasses cookies, you won't be sorry.

Can you explain the correlation between the first part of this sentence and the last? How on earth did you think giving weed to your dog would be a good idea?

I think the logic was that marijuana is an appetite stimulant for many people, and therefore would be for dogs? I don't think it's good logic, because dogs and people are very different, but the first premise is sound.

No its not? A lot of anti-inflammatories that are safe for humans are deadly to cats and dogs, even in small doses. As is acetaminophen, peusdoephedrine, antidepressants, methylphenidate, and even some common vitamin supplements. poo poo, humans can eat chocolate, avocado, garlic, raisins, and hops without issue, but those can all kill your dog.

Drugging your dog because you like the drug is asinine.

Neither of us were endorsing this. We were each explaining the possible first premises the dude was reasoning badly from. I think we all agree that this was a terrible idea because humans and dogs are different animals.

Anyway, it didn't happen, so we all learned something I guess :shrug:

Sorry about your pupper, Big Dog Daddy.
