Lowtax confirms he’s paying way too much for hosting because his forums are a dated rats nest of code.

I like how nobody tells him to get a fucking job.

The forums pay for themselves and Lowtax, just not as much as he would like so he has to "live paycheck to paycheck"

Maybe instead of crying about the free money he gets from the thing he has done zero work on he could get even a part time, entry level, temp position somewhere.

The only "shooting up" that Lowtax will permit is pain medication.

edit: And its about time we got official confirmation that the Xenforo upgrade money did not go towards upgrading Xenforo. Straight from the horse's ass no less.

He ain't wrong. I fucking hated Canadians that weren't in their military when I worked and traveled abroad. Other Americans were normally okay so long as they werent the assholes who do a sandals vacation and think it's indicative of the rest of the country.

Aussies were normally the coolest followed by Brits who wanted to give me shit for being American. Those guys were normally hilarious

This is 99% true, speaking as a Canadian.

With one addendum, the self-hating American who constantly talks up Canada as being perfect is more annoying than all of those combined.
 
I don’t think the Fotios pay for themselves anymore. People aren’t spending money the way they used to and many have left. Lowtax doesn’t understand, the woke crowd is poor.

How is the famously unemployed and lazy Lowtax magically creating wealth to pay for the forums if they are operating at a loss?

I dont think its moderation to shut down a thread because people are being mean making jokes trolling about wheter you can eat pets. Well the pet island people might have a say but the bullshit forum really should just let the thread be shitty.

For example, the 401k withdrawal penalty is typically 10%, not 50% but I'm sure in his booze and pills addled mind, it sure feels like 50%.

The 401K early withdrawal penalty is 10% of the withdrawal amount. You must also pay normal income taxes on the full amount, plus state taxes. Missouri has a 6% state tax rate. Assuming Slowtax is in the 28% bracket, that means for every $10,000 he pulls out, he'd be paying $4400 in taxes & penalties.

So actually pretty close to 50%.
(Everything else in your post is spot on and completely correct)


Don't early withdraw from your 401(k), kids! :tmyk:

I know goons love to put lots of effort into making their posts look as lazy as possible, but trying to argue with people while typing like that is just the saddest fucking thing.

Excluding my embarrassing libertarian edgy phase, the people being posted about in this thread have driven me more to the right than anything else because they made me take a hard look at how I regarded people who disagreed with my opinions.

I've put some thought into this since the beginning of "teh culture wars", and the conclusion I've come to is that the part that riles me isn't people having different opinions, because I really don't give a fuck, but the fact that idiots are using differing opinions as an excuse for shitty behavior. Don't like what Ron said? Well clearly he's a Nazi/libtard/gamergator/snowflake/whatever, we need to get him fired for his sins, kicked off of whatever social groups he's in, etc. SA is a golden example of this: used to be that saying something stupid would just draw down mockery from people and everyone would move on with life. Now it's instant ban, and apparently retroactive ban too for good measure.
 
You can also just loan yourself money out of your 401k for like 4% interest. But then again how would Low-T pay back a loan.

You can also take out money penalty free if you lose your job or other circumstances. Then again Low-T doesnt have a job.
