@p Sleeping on a couch heated by millions of sand grains.

@p I love computers that look like suitcases when shut.

@p Is that supposed to be some artsy server?

...can you relinquish ownership of something without selling it?
Like it's dumb that they're taxed annually on what is essentially an inheritance item of emotional value (I forget the specific term), but they gotta at least have a way of giving it up so they don't have to pay taxes on it.
Also I have heard of trusts and vaguely know they're useful, but I've never read up on how they work.

@p
I'm pro tax in general but damn that's a lot. Tax if you have it, tax if you give it away.
Kinda sounds like an estate? But I know estates are taxed. Maybe trusts aren't.

@p
> they sell this as a tax on the wealthy, but it never touches them
Literally describes every tax ever. Most taxes tax you more the more you do them, and the people that have more money tend to use that money more. The only exceptions are things that poor people tend to do more because they're poor, which are bad for different reasons.

@thegreatape @lain
1. Spend all your money on expensive stuff
2. Leave expensive stuff in will to kids
3. Maybe some kinda finances and tax code loophole???
4. Profit

Fucking hell I got got. XD
I woke up from a nap and got a text from "USPS" saying that they'd detained a package because I hadn't updated my address.
Now I was expecting something, but through Amazon, but sleepybrain didn't question that. Also I did move and figured that updating the address should happen anyway.
So I do the thing, then it asks for a small amount of money for shipping. By this point I should have been awake enough to realize that 92 cents is a weird amount to exclusively charge a card, weird that cards are all they accept, weird that they didn't accept my debit card, weird that the page hung on loading after I used my credit card, EXTRA weird that the link in the text was bitly and amazopics in the browser, and after a minute of staring is when I realized it and scrambled to order a new credit card and block my debit, just to be safe. I might unblock it later, I'm assuming that if they didn't want it, they don't have that info, but it expires in less than a year, so I should probably get a new debit anyway.

One time a friend posted a picture of Ricardo Milos holding hands with a pregnant 02 in a hospital bed.
I was so disgusted by it that I printed the art and burned it and sent them a video of me doing so.

@dcc @prettygood
They're fine with me but unless it's baked beans, I'm not going out of my way to eat beans.

@prettygood What the fuck is that on the side?

Ok I'm in a hotel room and it was last furnished, by the looks of it, in 2005.
Got here three hours ago.
What's the haps?

@shibao @p
So much feckin food. Lunch is supposed to be a lighter meal. You lot basically get two dinners.

@p @shibao
And look where it's gotten us. XD

Imagine my disappointment upon learning that a soda fountain was not a fountain of soda.

@Zerglingman Aww, same. ♥️

Some days, probably too much.
I know I don't post as much as some do, so I was wondering if it looks like I'm not on much as a result.

@Zerglingman
I don't if this is a "cut back" response or a "leave this hellhole" response.

How much time each day, on average, do you think I spend on fedi?

Okay so I have a friend that can't load my blobcat account to follow it.
I can bring up several accounts from her instance in search results when I search on blobcat, just not hers.
Can I do anything to fix that?

@prettygood I can't locate her profile on that account at all, so I can't do that.
