In retrospect, a lot of people have really stuck their neck out for me and helped me out during my life even when I really didn't deserve it because they wanted me to succeed. I'm going to be more thankful for that from now on and live my life to some approximation of my potential and hopefully return the favor to other people in the future.

you're blessed brother

Going to map my credits out some more just to make sure but... I just need to take a life science and comm to transfer and hopefully get accepted to SF State for the third time in my life

I forgot that a big reason I was stuck in school was that I was trying to switch from CS to CEng and had to take a bunch of extra science courses. Never change your major, boys.

Hope I get off these waitlists!

I heard about it- she was telling my wife to move back to Japan, to have the baby, then come back after it's born. That of course would be without me. She of course declined this suggestion, but I would almost like to tell her to ask her sister if that means we can just go move into her house and eat all her food and all that shit.

What major are you going with? Also because of the great transferability of credits in the California system, don't be afraid to look at other schools as sometimes a change of scenery is really nice for starting fresh.

"Say it! You have to say it!"
He is shouting at me. My hands and feet are bound to the chair, joints rubbed raw by coarse rope.

I can scarcely manage a whisper. "I can't. It's ahistorical."

He leans down and looks at me with rabid eyes. He has gone quiet but the quiet is deafening. I don't want to die.
"Say it. Say that taxes drive the currency."

Kara · « **Reply #5731 on:** January 21, 2020, 03:43:28 AM »

It involves taking money out of a U.S. tax advantaged financial instrument for its stated purpose then contributing a portion of it back again when not all of the distribution was needed / used.

Earnings and principal were distributed to the owner but when it's contributed back again it all gets recharacterized as basis (which isn't subject to tax or penalties if not used for its specific purpose). Custodians asked for guidance in situations where this occurred and that's the guidance the IRS gave them.

I don't think you could make massive sums of money with it, but Drinky Crow could probably buy a new Aprilia.

If you want to know specifics we can talk in camera.

Confucius said that the people should support their governments because they want to/have faith in the system. So actually, laundering your money is what a good person does. You're choosing to report your income (however you got it) and pay tributes to your government.

I almost took a second philosophy class in college so I think I'm right.

Got my passport in the mail! Never had one before, but the girl I was dating wanted us to take a trip so I promised I would get one over the holidays. Made an appointment that I managed to keep despite being horribly depressed after the breakup, and now almost a month later I have a passport!

Also they took my birth certificate when I got the passport and told me I'd get it back... but it wasn't in the mail with the passport. Is that normal?
