The "What Are You Doing This Moment" Thread

Just got my internets working again. Bastard router somehow changed its own settings, took me fucking ages to work it out. About a week, to be exact. Didn't help that I'd just bought Oblivion GotY edition.

Do you even pay taxes?

Obviously not, seeing as I'm 16.
But by good tax I meant that in the long run it's good for the environment and the economy. I feel like a lot of people tend to be short sighted about stuff like this, and a lot of people want reform but are unwilling to pay for it.

The tagline for that game should be "Say goodbye to sunlight"

Watching the Red Sox game

Obviously not

Then shut it

 

[waif]

Then shut it

Why?

 

[The Ozzman]

Because you claim there are good taxes when you've never had to pay them.

There are necessary taxes and unnecessary taxes. Neither form is good.

 

[waif]

You're unable to see the big picture.

"In order to know about taxes you must pay them" is some seriously shit logic imo.

Heh, yeah.

I reckon I've spent about 30-40 hours on it already in a week, and I haven't even beaten the main quest yet :zombie:

...or installed either of the two expansions.

Plus, there's mods. I bought it when it originally came out (lost the disk) and they kept me occupied for many long hours, and even more were spent (unsuccessfully) trying to build an epic castle in the Jerall mountains

Not at all correct.

"In order to know about taxes you must pay them" is some seriously shit logic imo.

In order to know how they truly affect someone, you should at least know how they affect you tbh

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

I don't know about that, there are plenty of things you can know with enough research and time spent thinking that you don't need to experience firsthand.

I think paying them may actually limit understanding, because people don't consider what they go to, but only think about how it comes out of their pocket.

I spent 120 hrs on my first character...
My second I spent longer. Great game. Mods are insane. I never even got to the expansions.

Okay, but considering some of the time the tax dollars you give back to whatever it goes to isn't really used for what they say its use will be is kinda shit imo.

 

[waif]

Okay, the tax system isn't perfect, I'm with you on that.

 

[The Ozzman]

The tax system needs a major overhaul. Still too many loopholes and stupid shit like 'gift tax'

 

[waif]

Yeah, well, the tax system is created by rich people, so what do you expect?

 

[The Ozzman]

Most politicans are rich, so that's just a stupid comment

 

[waif]

That's what I mean.

but who seriously does that research? most people dont
~gR~

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

It's possible though.
