I still think about that terrible day. once harambe passed, the world fell apart.

can we stop using Taylor Swift as a spokesperson for all young women? like I’m all for her as a pop singer, but the media gives that billionaire too much clout as a representative of all young women. can’t we just say young women speak for themselves without it requiring a billionaire woman to illustrate something for them?

what if you don’t even know what that stuff is or how to use it even if it were available?

what if you like the feature and are okay with just using it while you can?

think of it as TurboTax free file made by the government and that’s it lol theyre a bit more than just PDFs online. theyve specifically said they’re making another option on the market alongside existing products. but they’re specifically NOT undercutting other existing technology.

well the difference is that the government won’t go oops you traded a stock, so you need to use premium for $120 and also shove sales and dark patterns in your face to trick you into buying premium. most others that were free usually charged to file state taxes or something or another too. definitely a win for the average joe, but it’s not the process that people are imagining. the IRS has pretty directly said that they are providing another option to people and not making other services obsolete.

you will still need to manually input your information from the forms you receive. it just files your taxes for you. it doesn’t do them for you.

because they said they wouldn’t. the direct file program said they’re placing themselves as an option besides ones already on the market and will NOT replace any existing technology already on the market. so you still need to manually file with them. it’s not the situation where they already have the documents so you don’t have to do anything.

Edit:

The IRS tool is meant to be an additional option people have to file their tax returns and will not replace any existing options for filing, said IRS Commissioner Danny Werfel on a call with reporters Wednesday.

yeah I agree. that’s why I included that the perspective was as somebody who can afford it and that I still hate what Intuit does. But at the same time saying I like the product instead of the TurboTax sucks circlejerking that the Internet loves doing.

unpopular opinion, but, as someone who can afford it, I like TurboTax as a product. hate Intuit as a company for all their bs lobbying, but I like having TurboTax as an option. I have like a dozen accounts across multiple banks and turbotax gets me done with my taxes in like 30 or less every year for cheaper than my old accountant did when I used one.

I like how many devs this pissed off. this picture is whack tho wtf

if I’m leading a project, I avoid this by begging POs to give me a sprint 0 where i solo code out all the scaffolding ground work before all the other engineers join the project.

a slice a suck I used to say

I used to prostitute myself in class for people’s slices

you two are like the spider man meme

oh no now I can’t get from Idaho to Jackson… so anyway…

thank GOD the trump news broke or else this would’ve been major

I mean even though the CAS is a state organization of China, they do still put out real science. they have real researchers working with and for them. I’m honestly more concerned about what they don’t put out than what they do.
