I’ve been involved in the BDSM community for roughly 15 years in the US. Tons of LGBT people, and I can say a large percentage are into IT either professionally or as a hobby. As for trans specifically, I’m not sure I’ve ever met one who wasn’t technically minded. That’s just what I’ve seen. Could be different elsewhere.

Anyone who doesn’t rent or own a home does not pay property tax (indirectly or directly). Thus, they are paying less taxes overall.

Yes, many times. Often it’s because they don’t understand what it is I’m trying to do. More often than not, they make wild assumptions about what I’m suggesting and then lose their fucking minds instead of asking for clarification. Ultimately it becomes an argument about what they think I’m talking about and I never get an actual answer.

If you’re behind $1000 in taxes for a $250000 house doesn’t mean the government takes your whole house and you get nothing.

They typically sell it at auction and you get the leftovers.

And that seems fair to you?

I feel like I’m back on reddit again…

I’m just trying to point out that it’s stupid to tax some people and not others for “roads, services etc” and then when that select group of people fail to pay, they have their home taken away. Meanwhile the people who are not taxed, still get to use those same things.

i.e. Taxing property is fucking stupid. We should just tax everyone across the board.

But somehow I’m the lunatic when bringing this to light.

Indeed, you are not understanding. I do not own or rent a home. So again I ask, why are you paying more taxes than me?

Nobody is disputing the need for taxes or what their purpose is. The issue is that taxing a homestead is effectively a lease, even if not written as such.

It also begs the question, why are you being taxed more than me? We use the same roads, schools and services. Yet assuming you’re a homeowner you’re paying more for the same shit.

I guess a dollar amount could just be expected from every single person regardless of circumstance. Would that be better?

Yes, that would make far more sense to me than tying it to something arbitrary like land. Failure to pay should not result in homelessness. Especially after a lifetime to paying for said home.

Having to continue to pay for something that you “own” does not sound like ownership to many people.

The big one of course is home ownership, despite having to pay the government for the rest of your life.

This needs to become common knowledge.

Attempted anal right after she had done a 2qt enema. In the moment we were just wanting to get it on but uh, It ended as one with any sense would expect. We were able to laugh about it once it was all over.

Prepping. I’ve found some comfort in aquiring things and skills necessary to hopefully survive through various plausible scenarios. This initially started because of climate change but with current politics, I’ve tried to expand on those ideas. I’m not trying to go full doomsday crazy with it but I’ll be a few steps ahead of the general population as things continue to get worse.

tend to act unconsciously towards my own self-preservation and interest.

I don’t see that as a fault. One must take care of themselves first, then if possible, take on the burden of others.

Many people do the opposite and tend to everyone’s needs but their own. Then they fall apart at some point, never fulfilled.

You may have codependent friends or family like that skewing your perception of what’s best, causing you all this undue guilt.

For sure apply that exception as you see fit 🙂 Some things aren’t intended for regular use, but you’re glad they’re there when the time comes.

Have I used it in 6 months?

If no, is it a tool? (keep all tools)

If no, is it worth my time to list/sell it? (eBay)

If no, throw it out or donate it.
