Ah. I don't think it's the taxes themselves, I think it's the transparency of where the money goes, why the working class is paying far more than million and billionaires.

We carry this country and feel we're getting shafted in the long run. Free school lunches being removed, little to no support for under privileged, elderly. The latest with the big beautiful bill further destroying the healthcare. USA is being torn apart from the inside out and nothing we can do.

It's hard to not be upset when you're paying registration fees, property taxes, state taxes, etc, and run over the same fucking potholes for years for example.

I'm confused. You say taxes are not paid by the employer before the employee is paid, but you're also saying Americans are always whining about taxes coming out of their paychecks?

Had a similar argument with my dad when he was pulling some shit about handouts. I said mother fucker, you were on WIC when I was growing up, who the fuck are you to deny someone else the same support you had? Never brought it up again.

How do you figure this isn't the way it is in USA? My taxes are paid before I ever see a paycheck.

Something death squad?

As far as I know, this one was made for torrents. I push terabytes of data through it, up and down, no complaints at all. I avoid all the ones that advertise and lie on YouTube channels. Nord, surf shark, etc. Torguard is pretty small and offer a lot. I have it on my Zorin laptop, desktop, tv, phone and tablet just in case I need to change locations.

I've been a Torguard user for almost 10 years now

The office is very worth, you just have to struggle through season 1. 2 and beyond are fucking gold and very rewatchable.

I've seen them genuine also. Hard to tell, hard to care.

Multiple options on products doesn't work well with Amazon, at least when I sold on there about 8 years ago. Very challenging.

I don't seed much, usually only 1:1, but I've got about 30tb on soulseek/nicotine, 6000 movies, 250 series, 130k songs/full albums

 

song brings out too many emotions

 

Was watching this video and it clicked that you could be fucked on a lie and can't do shit but go to jail and wait for a judge - https://youtu.be/-4D5V19zqFc

I knew this before, but this video brought it home. Paraplegic accused of kicking down a door and dumbass cops not doing anything "but their jobs", no common sense at all.

 

need to figure it out on your own

 

Surely there aren't enough people walking them constantly to mash the grass to death, is there some kind of membrane placed under the dirt to stop grass growth?

Here is a pic of worn path from walking on, rough edges, clearly not intentional.

Will post pic after walking the dog of the trail that I'm speccifically curious about.

 

In case no one has heard this cover, it's pretty damn sick. Anytime I hear it while driving, it always seems to end right as I'm parking.

Saw these two live on a random night, this song still raises the hair on the back of my neck.

This is going to be some of my favorite “soundtrack” songs that I play when I’m rushing arcade style shootem ups like Left 4 Dead
