Not everything is politics. Enjoy some football!

I second your idea of going with Pi-Hole. It is purpose-made for this and easy to setup.

B&H is my online go-to, with Amazon as a backup. If you have a Micro Center near you, they are a great option as well.

Put a percentage of every paycheck into an index fund (ex: VTI) and sit on them for a few years. You too will have capital gains.

Average returns on index funds are 6%-8%/yr, compounding. They are a solid long-term investment.

Tesla is not Musk, yes companies are taxed differently than individuals. Notably by profit, not income.

Musk paid $11b in capital gains tax when he sold, that is how capital gains taxes work for everyone. Same as you and me.

Yep, that is how capital gains works for everyone, including you and me. You pay taxes on them when you sell, when you have income.

Try to set it so nobody owes anybody much. If you fall too short on withholding you can end up paying interest on the difference.

Not at all. Musk is well known for having paid over $11,000,000,000 in taxes in a single year.

When I switched away from gmail, I found it to overall be pretty straightforward. Whenever I would log into a service, I update the email. Any service I didn’t log into clearly doesn’t matter enough to me. My gmail is now a spam account for old shit I don’t care about.

The power of BCC (always use BCC for mass mails).

Very nice!

You could hit the page via Tor to anonymize your access, then use the Save Page As context menu item to save the page.

Food is quickly becoming out of reach of many Americans.

I’m not aware of any Americans worried their children will starve to death. Various housing and food assistance programs exist. Such apocalyptic language simply does not ring true.

Would rioting actually make anything better?

Yes I love how America didn’t have a war of independence or a civil war.

Why would we have a war over the elected president…holding office? Dems need to do better and win the next election, not start a civil war.

You are now picturing Trump’s face inside the stargate from Stargate SG-1.

You are welcome.

Use this as an opportunity. Put in more effort to make it happen. Yeah, it isn’t a straightforward path, but not many things in life are.

Good luck man! Life is sometimes hard, but we get through it.

The main issue I see there is the power still has to come from somewhere. All this would likely do is move the pci-e power plugs to the motherboard and cause lots of confusion related to: “this GPU only requires two plugs of power, but the motherboard has three plugs, do I need to plug in all three? My PSU only has two pci-plugs.”

Those are other users’ comments. Not sure how those are relevant to JiveTurkey’s comments.

On how to respond; if it’s on the internet: It’s rude and stifling discussion, downvote and move on.

If it’s in person: Probably a good time to change topic. Or, if it is something that is actually important for that specific person, you need to tell them how it directly impacts them in a way they do care about. If they still give the ‘no one cares’ response, it’s absolutely a good time to change topic.

in the US you loose your right to abortion entirely

This is a massive, massive exaggeration of the state of abortion access in the US.

The US is now trying to take Panama, Canada and Greenland

Trump likes to bluster. The US will not be invading Panama, Canada, or Greenland.

The US isn’t moving like you think it is moving. And that seems to be throwing off your views on how European and US relations have been and will continue to develop over the next decade.
