They still do, but there are ways to either distribute the funds or set up grantor trusts that bring the rates back down to an acceptable billionaire rate. You know, next to nothing.

On the trust thing - every once in a while I’ll go to a concert by myself, stand in the back, and enjoy the moment and remember the old times.

More often than not, three or four young ladies will come up over the course of the evening and start giving me their life stories and their relationship struggles and whatnot.

This isn’t a flirting or drunk thing on either end of the equation. In that moment, they just seem to need somebody to listen to them.

I went to non-Euclidian space and all I got was this lousy username.

What if they’re tiny men though? Like a hail report but, “Today across the central plains, residents experienced golf ball sized man rain.”

I got that treatment in Thailand. Got all cocky and said extra spicy. Guy took it as a personal challenge. It pierced my soul and I soaked my clothes sweating but damnit I finished it and it was delicious.

I can’t do the hyper hot stuff anymore. I got old and my stomach gets very jaded.

I do accounting for a lot of landlords. What he’s talking about is cash flow. Almost nobody ends up with taxable income from renting because the rent goes to the mortgage, property tax, insurance, maintenance, etc.

Before you crucify me on a barbed wire Popsicle stick, the part he’s leaving out is the equity he’s building at the tenant’s expense.

When he eventually sells the place, he’ll get hundreds of thousands of dollars that didn’t cost him anything. Whoever lived there just gets memories of that place they used to sleep in.

Santa Cruz is weird, but I don’t know that it’s evergreen college weird.

I remember salting those things with my grandpa in his garden when I was a kid.

I also remember UCSC students cooking and eating them after the school adopted the banana slug mascot.

That’s an endless point of debate here in Texass.

In the summer months, if you aren’t done mowing by seven in the morning, you’re gonna die of heat stroke.

π = 5 for very small values of r.

Must be tough finding pants with eight or ten legs (depending on how you categorize the two arms and eight tentacles)

Got_Bent , 2 months ago to world in Gen Z workers in China are picking 'gross outfits' over corporate glam because they don't get paid enough to look fly

Dress codes have always been prohibitively expensive. When I was a young man getting my occupational feet wet in the nineties it was pretty much, “We’re gonna pay you three dollars an hour and we require three piece suits at all times.”

Based on illustrated stories I was fed as a child, I would now like to know if the early Christians ate the dinosaurs after they were finished riding them.

I’d like to return to the simple days of lemme beans, please.
