Wow I had no idea about this. The lobbying makes sense from their business standpoint, but we as consumers can also vote with our wallet and not buy their software.
Definitely overspent on Turbo Tax. The more expensive the software, the more it’s geared toward people who have difficult taxes (small business owners, may own rental property, etc.). Any standard tax software can take care of as many 1099s and W2s as you need. I usually pay $20 for H&R Block Premium and it does everything I need it to (all sorts of income and deductions, taxes on investments, etc.). Small pro tip for next year!
That’s what I hear and I’m stoked. I never played Mario 64 because I had a PS1 growing up and this is my first Nintendo console since the Gamecube so I’m stoked to finally play a true Mario game in 3D.
Captain America: Civil War tonight in prep for Black Panther tomorrow morning. Also, my Switch came last night and Super Mario Odyssey is coming tonight so I’m planning on sinking in some serious time into that as well.
Oh and I guess I’ll pay attention to my girlfriend every now and then as well.
I have so many witty one-liners in response to this (“you would have a roommate named Brad”, “I’m surprised that you had anything worthy of value for the hobo to steal”, etc.) that I don’t even know where to begin.
Never understood families that still do this. 100 years ago? Sure. But 100 years ago, the groom’s family also got a cow in exchange for the bride so I guess it all evened out.
Fair point. I was just going based off what I heard and based off my cousin and my friend’s mom. Both have thriving private practices, yet both couldn’t tell you how much their business is worth.
While a lack of intelligence can definitely be a turn-off (and I assume that’s kind of what you were implying here), lack of financial literacy isn’t always a sign of a lack of intelligence. Your average doctor probably doesn’t know shit about money, but he/she is probably insanely smart in other ways.
*15 years in the future, Todd and Girl are having a fight*
Girl: “Todd, you don’t love me and you never loved me! Remember that one Valentine’s day where I made you a romantic dinner and yet you couldn’t even get me some flowers?!”
I think my comment got misconstrued. I’m not saying that she should fundamentally change her personality or pretend she’s being someone she isn’t. That’s obviously asinine. All I’m saying is there’s clearly a common denominator for why guys are losing interest and when you have dating failures with multiple people due to the same reason, that common denominator is generally you.
Here, I’ll give an example: when my last girlfriend broke up with me, one of the reasons she cited was that I was too dismissive – I didn’t give enough priority to her wants and needs and mine always trumped hers. When I reflected back on my previous relationships, I remembered how my previous girlfriends had also mentioned this to me. So I decided that this was my common denominator fault and worked on it both before I met my current girlfriend and am still working on it now. While it still does come up, I’m much more cognizant of it. It’s also the best relationship I’ve ever been in. I don’t necessarily attribute that to coincidence.
See, I think this whole “always be yourself” thing is total bullshit. No one is saying that you have to completely revamp your personality, but if you’ve dated for years and with different people and the same thing keeps happening, at what point do you begin to ask yourself whether it’s you and not them?
Relationships take work, and if you were at work doing something wrong over and over and over again, wouldn’t you probably change how you were doing it in order to fix it? Why wouldn’t the same thing apply to a relationship?

Who needs medals when we have new Twitter celebrities like Adam Rippon or when we can fawn over the North Korean cheerleaders and Fat Boy’s sister?

I feel like Duda’s apartment could probably be the modern day version of the Brady Bunch, only with douchey millennials.

Hey man, don’t judge. A relationship with two nutbags of similar nutbagginess can last for the rest of their lives.
Congrats on not having post break-up sex with the ex.
Or you can just get off social media and – voila! – no more FOMO.

Your loss.
Haven’t you heard? Nowadays, being a nerd is cool. Source: all the nerds in Silicon Valley making millions.
You’ve had better weeks. Kinda like the stock market has also had better weeks than last week.
I hate to break it to ya, Dave, but that diamond necklace contains 0 actual diamonds.

Forget Shaun White. You’re doing worse than most normal 31 year olds. Get your shit together.
