Jesus…you are one angry asshole, aren’t you? All I am saying is that they could have ONE net pay estimate based on a single/no dependent W-4.
That would give them a much more accurate idea of their actual wage than just doing gross pay. Judging from the word “snowflake”, I can tell with 98.9% accuracy that you’re a hard core right winger who can’t critically think his/her way out of a paper bag.

You get older and health problems compound your mental ones. This country robs you out of your savings when you get inevitably sick. Look at the comments on this. Lack of empathy from anyone because nobody cares for the old. The way society treats the ill like lepers. A problem to scrape into the bin. At least people don't pretend anymore to lack sympathy. They half-assed wring their hands "oh a pity what's there to do?"

Working the observatory at Davey Lab at PSU and saw a very deep red object about half the angular diameter of the moon slowly drift over north campus and then fade away. Several members of the public and the three volunteers with us saw it. Never managed to get a scope on it before it faded away.

This was preventable. America almost entirely ignores mental illness or acts like it's an act. Being on medications and getting therapy could have prevented this. A community that checks on each other and has time to make time for each other could have prevented this.

Idk about unexplainable and I’m sure it was nothing (r/ghosts or any number of paranormal subreddit would say otherwise), a few years ago before Covid I did some walking around Devils den Gettysburg around November. Chilly foggy day. I got a sense of uneasiness while walking kinda like I was being watched but not quite.

Those that holler the loudest usually are themselves.

Reply to comment by Super_C_Complex in Mayor of Upper Darby booked on DUI charges after traffic stop by snuffy_tentpeg
Lol! My man, Did you even bother to read the SCOTUS decision?
The case involves compulsory WARRANTLESS seizures of blood ...
When one is pulled over for suspected DUI and fails the roadside testing program and exhibits signs of intoxication etcetera, the officer, under probable cause, can make an arrest for suspect DUI. From there the officer can submit a warrant for a blood test, which an on call judge will sign off on based on the officers arrest affidavit, for the drivers blood to be tested at hospital for driving under the influence
Theres no wiggling out of it once a warrant has been issued for the blood. Now sometimes judges aren't available for warrant signatures. So the next step would be a calibrated breathalyzer machine, which most police departments own. Refusing a blood/ chemical test and or Breathalyzer is not an option without severe consequence attached.
> Intoxicated driving is a serious criminal charge. During a DUI investigation, an officer may request a blood sample. This is especially true when an alleged suspect refuses a breathalyzer test or a police officer believes the suspect is intoxicated by drugs. If you do not agree to it, a warrant may be issued, and at that time, a blood sample will be taken with or without your consent.
A lot of confusion surrounds what your rights and obligations are with respect to drunk driving and blood tests.

2 things come to mind. Both in the woods, both late at night.
The first, maybe 5-6 years ago in the woods outside of Bald Eagle State Park. A group of friends all drinking around the campfire, being noisy and rambunctious as people who drink do. I am no an imbiber, but was happy to hang. Around midnight I looked up, and hovering about the trees was.... a thing. A plane of some kind? the strangest thing was, it was dead silent. Took off with a woosh and a swiftness I've never seen from a plane since. Best explanation I can come up with is that there are Lockheed Martin facilities in the general area, so it may have been an SR-71 of some kind. Have never been able to confirm, because asking a group of drunks "Do you see that?" did not get the results I needed.
​
The second, is almost the exact opposite. I was camping at Hertlein while hiking the AT with my brothers. At around 2 am, a noise so cacophonous I couldn't hear my brother whom I was sharing a tent with enveloped us. It lasted for around 5 mins, then disappeared. The next morning we had the "did you hear that?" conversation. All three of us heard it, none of us could come up with a decent explanation and have not talked about it since, since none of us was brave enough to get out of the tent and look .

Why do these assholes keep harassing teenagers? Just leave them the fuck alone and let them live their lives.

PA is pro-choice and must stand up for their medical rights. Also, the church needs to stop politically manipulating the flock and actively pushing anti-choice or else rescind their non-profit status.

> You need six degrees in finance to understand our tax code.
Not really. You need maybe 3 hours of uninterrupted time to learn 99% of what an individual tax filer will ever need to know to properly file taxes and understand how they work.
But you have know nothing kids spending all their free time on Reddit reading what other know nothing kids write. That why nobody knows shit about anything.

Lmao crossroads. We made our choice last election.
Anyone who claims we’re at a crossroads likely still believes Trump won in 2020.

You need to talk to your employer then. They may be assessing local tax for the wrong municipality. Some require it assessed if you live there, some if you work there.
