Title: What are you burned out on?
Post by: Dave Gray on June 12, 2018, 04:54:21 pm
For me, it's the greater Marvel universe.  (and Superhero EU, in general)

I used to keep up to date with all the cinematic Marvel stuff.  I just don't have it in me anymore to follow all the threads.  I still keep up with the movies, but I'm way, way, way behind on all the TV stuff.  It's just too much that I got overwhelmed.

Work.  It's getting aggravating and we suffer from a general lack of Supervision.

The number 8.  Do we really need it?

News.  Every time I turn on the TV, Trump is going to blow up the universe or that Weinstein guy groped another woman.  STOP IT.  Just STOP IT.

Professional Sports sanctioning bodies.  I'm sick of all of them.  NFL NBA MLB NASCAR.  I'm turning into Cartman everytime they talk about one of these 5 star clowns giving the circus away I start yelling NO SATAN THAT'S A BAD SATAN or something like that at the TV.

Yep. ... I agree.  That's pretty much all you see and hear all day long and it has gotten old.

pennies.  we don't need them, just round up or down to a nickel.  Then, since you have an extra spot in the register for coins, do away with the dollar bill (change it to $1 coin only); then fill the $1 bill spot with the $2 bill.

I hear people complain about the penny a lot but doing away with it changes the entire tax structure. They aren't going to lower the sales tax around here to 5% so what kind of hell do you think people would raise if it was announced that sales tax was being raised to 10%?

I'd drop an "Amen" on this, but that might come across as a wee bit hypochritical...

No need to change any sales tax rate, the most extra paid on any sale would only be 3 cents.  For example if the current sales tax rate is 7%, and the retail cost of an item is $5.25, then currently you pay 37 cents (rounded up from .3675) in sales tax.   By eliminating pennies the .3675 would be rounded up to 40 cents, so you would pay a whopping 3 cents more on the sale.  furthermore, there would be instances where you would round down, so it would all equal out in the long run.

Enough on taxes. I don't mean to throw the thread off the rails. I am burned out on high rates from cable companies, people who push the motorized handicapped door opener when entering a building and then grab the door to pull it open anyway, people who pull around you in traffic when you left a gap at a railroad crossing or intersection, Westwold, and having my weekend filled so full with yard work and chores that I want to propose we add another day to the week where it is illegal to do anything.

I'd love to be the one to benefit from all of those pennies!

Lol @ Phish..In most places no/little yardwork is called winter... :D

Masterfins,and Phish (taxes)..You guys just don't want us to have anything nice! I'd suggest voting no on more tax issues.(I realize it doesn't stop,all or probably even most taxes,but it's your say in more taxes!)

Mom working for the county,people bitch why did my taxes go up!!!! Bitch and Moan,Scream and yell...Mom asks remember that vote recently,your community voted to raise taxes...

- Political B.S. (turning everything political)
- Trump -Take his cell phone away for 2 weeks,tell him it's for a free upgrade,and send him on vacation...
- Endless political investigations - Gaslighting,Everyday a new gaslight scandal.
- Calling everything you don't like/disagree with Bad for America,or Fake news.

Ok some non political ones...
- Cell Phone manufacturers- The new  Super-Duper Mega Greatest phone ever! (till we release another one 6 months,or a year from now.Another manufacturer will knock off with some improvement  2 months from now))
- Dog pee- The new puppy has a bladder like the energizer bunny.
- T.V. in general - Even with streaming,services,I'm bored to tears with 90% of the shows.
- Food manufacturers trying to come up with "limited time" versions  their products,or new spins on their same old products.Ie Funky flavored oreos.
- Remaking everything from my youth....T.v shows,and movies,It does nothing but kill my affinity,and nostalgia for what I loved about those things.

Pennies made before 1959 (the first year of the Lincoln Memorial being on the back) are worth their weight in copper and becoming fewer.  So HOARD THEM. 

Also pennies made in the year 1982 come in a variety.  Save as many from this year as you can.

I can deal with the Rock. But Kevin Hart sucks. Nothing he does is remotely funny. How do these people get so popular?
