[02:21] IsambardPrince I've decided that I'm just going to file taxes as Married Filing Separately and not even do his. [02:21] IsambardPrince I don't have to pay the IRS anything. [02:21] IsambardPrince His tax bill will shoot up to $3600 and then they'll hit him with failure to file failure to pay. [02:21] IsambardPrince And add 50%. [02:21] IsambardPrince Then statutory interest. [02:22] IsambardPrince Most good CPAs will tell you that even if you can't pay it right now you need to at least file it before the deadline to avoid THAT 25% penalty. [02:22] IsambardPrince And preferably set up a payment plan with the IRS, which avoids the other 25% penalty if you stick to the payment plan. [02:22] IsambardPrince But he's not a CPA and he wouldn't know that. [02:23] IsambardPrince They'll charge interest on the plan. [02:23] MinceR :> [02:23] IsambardPrince But as long as you file and set up a plan, it'll just be what you owed and interest. [02:23] IsambardPrince If I file on my own, I will have no tax obligation on my end. [02:24] IsambardPrince So I can save back that $632 and make a big damned problem for him. [02:24] IsambardPrince He's been threatening to withold his paycheck from me. [02:24] IsambardPrince So I'll take the $632. [02:24] IsambardPrince And he can have the IRS. [02:27] IsambardPrince MinceR, "How did you acquire Cronus's ship?" Oh we traded him for it. We got his ship, and he got what he had coming. [02:27] IsambardPrince :) [02:27] MinceR :> [02:29] IsambardPrince MinceR, I forget which one asked him that. [02:29] IsambardPrince But I recall the answer amused him greatly. [02:29] IsambardPrince The guy had probably been trying to kill Cronus for centuries with no luck. [02:29] IsambardPrince And then here comes SG-1. [02:30] IsambardPrince MinceR, It's like the CIA and Fidel Castro, really. [02:30] IsambardPrince Just hundreds of plans that didn't work from the bay of pigs to poison cigars. [02:31] IsambardPrince MinceR, The weird thing is that had the US really wanted to depose Castro, we could have at any time. [02:31] IsambardPrince And here we had all these crazy plans. [02:31] IsambardPrince You know, the only time Castro was actually safe was during the Cuban Missile Crisis when there were Soviet nukes aimed at us from Cuba. [02:32] MinceR :> [02:32] IsambardPrince The US maintains a huge naval base there. [02:32] IsambardPrince And has put thousands of landmines around it. [02:33] IsambardPrince On that base there is, of course, the torture facility. [02:33] IsambardPrince But even better. The only McDonald's in Cuba. [02:33] IsambardPrince During the Clinton Administration, the US put several hundred Haitians who all had AIDS there. [02:33] IsambardPrince And didn't give them medicine. [02:34] IsambardPrince At the time, having HIV meant that you couldn't legally enter the United States. [02:34] IsambardPrince People who had it entered all the time, but to do so, they came without their medicine after they mailed their medicine to where they'd be staying in the US. [02:35] IsambardPrince That way Customs didn't find it on them at the airport. [02:35] IsambardPrince But there was only about a 1% chance their package would be pulled from the mail and inspected. [02:35] IsambardPrince MinceR, So I've got another problem. [02:35] IsambardPrince My back started hurting two weeks ago. [02:36] IsambardPrince I was out of town so I decided to go to the chiropractor last monday. [02:36] IsambardPrince He gave me an adjustment and I walked out of there, with better posture and only slightly sore, which was a huge improvement. [02:36] IsambardPrince And then it got better over the next two days. [02:36] IsambardPrince Then some asshole almost ran into my car on Thursday, stopping inches short of hitting me. [02:37] IsambardPrince And I screamed and tensed up, and a searing pain shot through my back and down my right arm. [02:37] IsambardPrince So I went to the chiropractor again on Friday and it did not help much this time. [02:37] IsambardPrince So I scheduled a doctor's appointment this morning and managed to get in with my primary. [02:37] IsambardPrince I had PT for the shoulder downstairs an hour later anyway, so I had to drive up there and back already. [02:38] IsambardPrince So between the doctor and PT, I did a set of X-Rays. [02:38] IsambardPrince Found out that I've got a degenerative spine disorder, but that's actually not a big deal. [02:38] IsambardPrince Over 60% of people my age have something like this, and they said it was very mild. [02:39] MinceR :( [02:39] IsambardPrince But the problem appears to be that I've got a pinched nerve between the C6 and C7 vertabrae.

[03:30] *ewig` has quit (Ping timeout: 245 seconds) [03:36] schestowitz[TR2] sure gets expensive to not be healthy [03:37] IsambardPrince Expensive for the government. [03:37] IsambardPrince The shoulder surgery cost Medicare a lot of money. [03:38] IsambardPrince They actually denied coverage for the graft itself, and the hospital just wrote it off. [03:38] IsambardPrince schestowitz[TR2], My Part D got worse this year. [03:39] IsambardPrince I have to pay for most of my medicine in cash because my insurance price is much much higher. [03:39] IsambardPrince The only thing it actually seems to cover anymore are blood pressure and cholesterol medicine, those are $0 copays. [03:39] IsambardPrince But everything else I take are on Tiers 3 and 4. [03:43] IsambardPrince schestowitz[TR2], I was talking to dad about Epstein. [03:43] IsambardPrince I said, [03:43] IsambardPrince "Donald Trump was the President when Epstein was murdered in prison. [03:43] IsambardPrince He had just told the prosecutor that in exchange for a plea bargain, he was willing to testify against Trump. [03:43] IsambardPrince All of a sudden all of the security cameras malfunction, the guards are not at their post, and a man who was on suicide watch gets something to hang himself with. [03:43] IsambardPrince Things that make you go hmmm. [03:43] IsambardPrince According to the House Oversight Committee, the Trump DOJ is illegally redacting the Epstein files, to protect 9 people who are heavily implicated in them. [03:43] IsambardPrince Even Republican Rep. Thomas Massie, who is as far-right as they get, came out with Democrat Ro Khanna of California, and they both said that what Trump is doing is "criminal" sabotage of the Epstein Files Transparency Act." [03:44] IsambardPrince schestowitz[TR2], When I was booked on Disorderly Conduct they made me take off my pajama pants and shoes because they had strings. [03:44] IsambardPrince And we're supposed to believe that Epstein had something to hang himself with in prison? [03:45] IsambardPrince It's a liability thing for the police department. [03:45] IsambardPrince It's very unlikely, however, not impossible, that someone facing a Class C Misdemeanor, could hang themselves in the booking cell. [03:46] IsambardPrince (Comparable to throwing a McDonald's bag out of a car window.) [03:46] IsambardPrince Stealing bread is actually much worse than Disorderly Conduct. [03:46] IsambardPrince Retail Theft is a Class B or A Misdemeanor, depending on the value of what was stolen. [03:47] IsambardPrince The worst thing the judge can theoretically do to you over Disorderly Conduct is 30 days in jail and a $500 fine. [03:47] IsambardPrince But the system is so overwhelmed with worse people, it's usually just a fine. Or maybe some probation. [03:47] IsambardPrince The prisons are overflowing and there are convicted murderers in county jail. [03:48] IsambardPrince They are not going to take a cell to deal with someone who made some noise in the middle of the night (or threw a McDonald's bag out the car window). [03:48] IsambardPrince The police lied to me, by the way, lied to me to induce panic. [03:48] IsambardPrince They claimed that I could go to prison for two years. [03:49] IsambardPrince I was later told "That's a lie, the worst thing that could technically happen to you is thirty days, but you're just not that important." [03:53] schestowitz[TR2] your mom said you can be shot [03:54] schestowitz[TR2] for disputing them [03:59] IsambardPrince Yeah, the time to argue the case is not with the police officer. [03:59] IsambardPrince Don't talk to them at all. [03:59] IsambardPrince The cop has ALREADY arrested you. [03:59] IsambardPrince Why would you tell him anything? ● Feb 10 [04:03] IsambardPrince schestowitz[TR2], It doesn't matter why the police say they want to talk to you. The answer is NO. [04:03] IsambardPrince Technically all you have to do at a traffic stop is crack the window and hand them your license, insurance card, and registration. [04:03] IsambardPrince You don't have to say anything to them. [04:03] IsambardPrince They can hand you a ticket if they want to. [04:04] IsambardPrince They'll say that you have to sign it, but in Illinois you don't actually have to. They're not allowed to arrest you for anything that's not at least a Class B Misdemeanor. [04:04] IsambardPrince So not signing the ticket has no consequences unless they're offering to cite you on DUI or Reckless Driving or something. [04:04] IsambardPrince Simple speeding is just a petty,. [04:05] MinceR they'll probably shoot you in the head anyway [04:05] MinceR and then billions of nazis will say it was all your fault [04:07] IsambardPrince Basically. [04:08] IsambardPrince But cops here have to wear a body camera. [04:08] IsambardPrince So in theory it shows everything that happened. [04:08] IsambardPrince In this city, a cop beat up a domestic violence suspect. [04:08] IsambardPrince The other cops witnessed it and recorded it on their body cameras.

[22:42] IsambardPrince And she said "If he doesn't pay, do you want him in jail?" and Mom said, "Yes I do." [22:42] IsambardPrince So Brian hurried up and took out a personal loan to pay her back. [22:43] IsambardPrince Then I found out after he died that he had gone to Citi Financial (which is now OneMain) and taken out a personal loan at 29.99% interest and never paid that back. They filed a case after he died, and his widow just said "Well, he's dead." [22:43] IsambardPrince :P [22:43] IsambardPrince Mom said, "I wonder what that was." [22:44] IsambardPrince I said, "One of his kids was probably in jail again and needed bail." [22:44] IsambardPrince The amount of the loan is about what bail on a Class A Misdemeanor in Indiana tends to be. [22:44] IsambardPrince $5,000 [22:44] IsambardPrince Usually, they let you put up 10%, but if you have a habit of failing to appear, they make you come up with all of it.

[22:48] IsambardPrince They'll say things like "Healthcare for people in jail." and you're like "Wait a minute. I wasn't in jail and they didn't give me any healthcare!" [22:48] IsambardPrince MinceR, ^ [22:50] IsambardPrince I retaliated of sorts. [22:50] IsambardPrince I had a $600 unpaid ambulance ride to the hospital that I just never got around to paying the city. [22:50] IsambardPrince I never paid it and I got a discharge on that. [22:54] IsambardPrince They have an amount they pay you for every day you were in jail and shouldn't have been. [22:54] IsambardPrince It's like $5. [22:56] IsambardPrince "Sorry we left you in there for a month and then you were found not guilty after you lost your job and your landlord put all your stuff on the curb and you have an eviction record. Here's $150."
