Topic | Got a nice bonus...nearly half of it is gone due to taxes |
emblem-man 09/02/22 4:32:35 PM #10 | Bonuses tend to be taxed at an incorrect higher rate due to how withholding stuff works. It'll come back to you during tax returns though I think some people actively change their withholding info if they know they'll be receiving bonuses soon. Don't know if that actually helps or not though. Seems like too much trouble. --- http://avatar.xboxlive.com/avatar/emblem%20boy/avatar-body.png haters gonna hate |

emblem-man 09/01/22 2:44:45 PM #65 | LinkPizza posted... But without an out, its punishes the man, and still may not even help the women and child much, if at all So, in that case, three people suffer instead of two If the guy has so little money that he can't provide any financial support, then he won't. Like, I don't think any of us are saying we should garnish someone's wage by 90% and force him to have no discretionary income or something. If the guy has money to provide, should he have a way out? I say no. --- http://avatar.xboxlive.com/avatar/emblem%20boy/avatar-body.png haters gonna hate |

emblem-man 09/01/22 2:03:46 PM #54 | LinkPizza posted... While its not suppose to be a punishment, for some people, it really is And the problem I have with it is that the women is the one who decides how their financial lives will play out. But the man doesnt get a say Not everything in life has a 100 equivalent. I understand what you're trying to say, it feels unfair in a very real way. But I just fundamentally disagree with the idea behind that line of thinking and think it's incorrect to view it through those lens. --- http://avatar.xboxlive.com/avatar/emblem%20boy/avatar-body.png haters gonna hate |

emblem-man 09/01/22 1:55:45 PM #51 | [LFAQs-redacted-quote] Yeah, definitely. No arguments from me there. But I mean, is the govt then only going to provide what is deemed as the minimum? Should the parent have a responsibility to provide more than just the minimum that govt provides. Govt should provide most of the support, but my point still stands I think. --- http://avatar.xboxlive.com/avatar/emblem%20boy/avatar-body.png haters gonna hate |

emblem-man 09/01/22 1:50:43 PM #49 | LinkPizza posted... Sure, it seems bad. But just because the father pays child support doesnt mean the child still wont suffer financially. For example, if the father doesnt make enough, not the child and father both suffer financially Child support is just to limit the potential negatives due to lack of financial support. If the father doesn't make much money, yes it will be unfair to him..same way it's unfair to the mother if she doesn't make any money. Like, sometimes shit just isn't "fair", however you define it. Having a child in the picture changes things. Again, it's not about punishment to the mother or the father. It's about what's better for the kid --- http://avatar.xboxlive.com/avatar/emblem%20boy/avatar-body.png haters gonna hate |

emblem-man 09/01/22 1:24:55 PM #40 | MedeaLysistrata posted... I don't think you should look at this from a domination or revenge perspective. This pretty much. I get why people jump to that perspective due to those stories we hear where the father has to pay ridiculous support payments. But it just feels like we're letting anecdotes control how we should think about it. --- http://avatar.xboxlive.com/avatar/emblem%20boy/avatar-body.png haters gonna hate |

emblem-man 09/01/22 1:22:07 PM #39 | LinkPizza posted... That would make sense if they wanted the kid. If they didnt want a kid (or didnt feel ready), then I could understand then not wanting to use their money to take care of them Seems bad that the kid should financially suffer due to the father not feeling ready. I guess I don't see child support as punishment for the father, but instead I see it as support for the child. Obviously, there can be bad and unfair child support arrangements. But at its most basic, it's meant to support the child --- http://avatar.xboxlive.com/avatar/emblem%20boy/avatar-body.png haters gonna hate |

Should there be a male version of that situation, or is the man on the hook not matter what? I mean, they aren't the same thing at all. There's now a child involved in the situation. A child that we should want to take care of. --- http://avatar.xboxlive.com/avatar/emblem%20boy/avatar-body.png haters gonna hate |

So falling is much less dangerous, and painful. But when you are 63, you are much more likely to break something falling, and I gotta imagine anyone would fall quite a bit when first learning skateboarding. Watching kids snowboard is fucking wild.

Topic | Do you own a rice cooker? |
emblem-man 08/30/22 6:40:59 PM #27 | Tyranthraxus posted... I forget the exact timing but the ratio was literally equal parts water & white rice. Fill up a cup with rice, dump it in, fill up the exact same cup with water and dump that in, then pressure cook for something like 5-7 minutes. Hmm I'll have to try that. I've been doing high pressure for 13 minutes and 1 cup of rice to 1.5 cups of water but I found it was kinda mushy. So I wanted to see if washing the rice beforehand helped with that as well. --- http://avatar.xboxlive.com/avatar/emblem%20boy/avatar-body.png haters gonna hate |
