  • Finally. It has been, for the last ten years, almost exclusively useless.

    “Hey Siri, what is the weather like right now?”

    “I’m sorry. You’ll have to unlock your phone for that. “ it says from across the room, as I’m looking at what clothes I should wear for whatever weather it is.

    “You are such a fucking waste of electricity. I don’t even know why I keep trying to use you.”

    “I’m sorry. I won’t respond to that. “

    “You never do anyway, so no change there!”




  • Thank you for letting me know.

    I probably came off strong, but I am majorly disappointed. This was one step closer to how other countries do their taxes, which is mostly just signing and sending it back. As it should be.

    Hopefully we can get something before they shut it down, because I can see a LOT of people seeing that sketchy ID.me and noping out just like I did.

    I was so excited to do this to show interest, and then they brought up the ID. Me.

    Never heard of it, so I go and look.

    You expect me to fucking sign up for some weird 3rd party bullshit, when I would be happy to do that with an actual fucking government supplied way of letting you know I’m the actual person filing my taxes?

    No, man. Fuck that, and fuck your stupid ass way of handling it.

    I had such high hopes for it, but with the embarrassment of ID.me I just went back to FreetaxUSA.



  • I agree with you on your first sentence. The rest is completely ignorant. This isn’t an issue that can’t be solved. It’s as simple as passing sweeping laws across the USA, states rights get fucked, that a person who works a job deserves to get paid the current wage to which they can both pay for a place to live, food, and are also able to put a little bit away for emergencies. You know, that stuff they always told us when we were growing up in the early 2000s? I know people love to sit here and say that these simple things can’t be fixed because… reasons… but it is ignorant and quite childish to view the world like that. All of the world’s problems are manufactured by other humans just like you and I. So, when you boil it down to simple enough terms, if a human can manufacture misery, then surely you can do the exact opposite. Right? So, why is it easier to exploit humans than to lift them up? Start asking yourself these question. Have a good rest of your day.
