Freaking love the art in Griftlands. And you’re spot on, when your deck comes together it just hits

100% agree, it’s hot garbage. I have no idea how it’s lasted

Pretty much just MS Dynamics. Or you build your own, that’s common too.

There are others, Zendesk has a CRM, some use ServiceNow or Hubspot but those don’t fit the same use case.

Nice

Yeah I went down a rabbit hole (heh) trying to see if it was true.

And no, turns out it’s just a bunch of pesticides and more recently (since the mid 90s) they apparently infect them on purpose with something that destroys their liver.

Jfc my eyes

Username checks out

Saved me a watch too, thanks!

Another option I’ve seen is a sign up sheet for meals, so people didn’t randomly do everything at once.

Sort of an aside from OP’s original question, but when I was dating, I’d find ways to initiate light physical touch, like complimenting rings/nails to touch their hands, short contact with the elbow or back. Something to gauge their response without overwhelming their personal space.

It’s for teenage suicide prevention. Which makes the sex thing worse.

Work communication etiquette

I felt like he was evading capture though. He didn’t have to cover his face to shoot the guy. He could have bought any gun that would be less likely to jam.

More likely, it’s a guy who was fed up and shot someone over it, planted evidence or not. That’s just me going full tin foil hat.

the state’s prosecutor said that he had never seen a case with a “higher volume” of quality evidence.

And this doesn’t raise red flags? Why would someone IN HIDING keep basically everything on his person that would be quality evidence. Not even stuffed in a closet at his house, literally a manifesto in his pocket.

My own crazy conspiracy: he actually did it and got away with it, he was found using facial recognition software and not by a tip from a McD employee (no reward ever paid out). Someone planted all the incriminating evidence on his person. Why keep a partially 3D printed gun that’s already untraceable. You can even melt down the plastic parts.

McDonald’s has security cameras, has anyone seen footage of him at one in Pennsylvania on that date/time? (real question bc I haven’t, but maybe it exists?) I used to think they just found someone who looks like the infamous 140p image, but Luigi had a lot of other social media posts, affiliations, etc that make me hesitant to believe it’s a totally different guy.

She does exceed that in cost of goods sold actually, we have whole ass pallets of wood slices in the garage. She makes a $15k order alone every year for Christmas.

If it helps, we don’t deduct anything for our vehicles. We technically could do miles or gas for travel to shows but it’s relatively little.

There are still benefits to an LLC if you’re alone. Suggesting that everyone is committing tax fraud is speculative at best. Fun fact, she actually was audited for 2017-2019 because of shit her ex husband did, and no tax fraud (on her part, he was definitely guilty and we successfully argued for Innocent Spouse Relief). You can also pay yourself dividends which are taxed at a lower rate, though the IRS checks this income to make sure you aren’t using this stupidly.

Generally, you’re protected with your assets, piercing the veil can only occur if there’s egregious fraud and clearly no separation between yourself and the business. Just keep your business and personal accounts separate and you’ll have the legal protections.

Edit: I went back and asked her and there’s definitely tax benefits, she files as an s corp and it saves a bunch on taxes. It’s more expensive to file so the income must be over like $70k-$80k to really make it worth it.

I would highly recommend asking an accountants advice, I assume there are similar services for when you file in the UK. Finding a CPA (Chartered Accountant in the UK) is huge, they’ll generally charge more but they can represent you in the event you get audited (had to look it up and confirm it’s the same for UK). Now if you get audited, they have a vested interest in protecting you. In the US they’re often legally obligated to protect you (and themselves).

She gets income from two sources: as an employee (“normal” income), and as a business owner. There’s something called an owner’s draw, which essentially lets you take money from the business for personal use, and it gets taxed as personal income (i.e., normal job income taxes).

This is my loose understanding. We have a CPA for our stuff, and she sorted all this out before we even started dating.

Edit: you can also pay yourself dividends from the business, but this is considered supplemental income and can’t be a majority. These dividends are taxed at a lower rate than your income.

Yeah the actual damage was basically nothing. It says more about the dumb owner and less about the actual vehicle.

I keep staring and still have no idea what it’s trying to tell me
