Yeah, they kind of had a point until they busted out the incel-speak at the end.

Careful with that. If you're not making estimated tax payments on your dividends (or other capital gains) every quarter or increasing your withholdings from wages to compensate, and you owe too much at the end of the year, you can get hit with penalties and interest.

For most people the quarterly dividends in their brokerage aren't enough to trigger that, but as your savings grows and quarterly dividends become significant they might.

Yeah, certainly seems fake. But I can conceive of someone that's NB, fluid, or something else who is unable/unwilling to admit that to themselves or choosing to remain cis presenting for social reasons deciding to present as a woman due to a micropenis​.

But yeah, fake.

Very true. But that's different from not deserving the proceeds from their work.

If I mismanage my money and am completely broke when I hit retirement age that doesn't mean I don't deserve the pension I've been paying into my entire career.

The dude is 81. I don't think it's unreasonable to expect to be able to retire long before that. Entertainers generally don't have pensions, so earnings from their copyrighted material can function like one.

I have no problem with copyrights held by an artist lasting for the life of the creator. But copyrights maintained by corporations or other entities indefinitely, especially after the death of the creator, are bullshit.

Is the book just the story or does it have the parts where the grandpa is reading the book to the kid?

Shit, I don't even think it has to be subtle. People emigrate all the time for a variety of reasons. And most of them are much less compelling than "I'm surrounded by people who might decide to murder my entire family any day."

They have no responsibility to stick it out and take the risk just because other people, including myself, don't want to see the settlers win.

It seems like it was just yesterday some would bring up some millennial kids bullshit and someone else would respond; "you know they're all adults now, right?"

Now it's starting to happen with zoomers?

I don't know where I was going with this. I'm going to go take my Geritol now.

Exactly. I get the frustrations of the son and grandson of factory workers that finds it hard to imagine anything more than working at Walmart wanting to tear it all down. What I don't understand is my neighbor in Dana Point.

I assume that's a gif because I remember that line and it's a perfectly hilarious response, but I just see a pic.

Gifs don't seem to work for me. Is that a problem with Jerboa?

Yeah, insta-fail is just lazy design. Becoming undetected again is fun.
