Depends on why you’re starting the fire.

I hear you. A lot of times my ideas are just a “vibe”, and starting is the hardest part. I haven’t used AI much at all, but I can see how having a prompt to get you started can get the creative ball rolling.

Try asking in a post on Asklemmy.

EDIT: Now that I’m reading it, I realize there are way too many ways to hear this. I meant it as a joke answer to the question suggesting that they’ve already done what they needed to do, and now I’m sure it’s even more hilarious now that I explained it. Oh well.

I thought the same thing, but I decided to see it through, and was very happy with the lack of shenanigans.

Bamboo is right, you could do it all for the price of a stamp if you grabbed the paper forms and filled them out, but you risk missing deductions that you don’t know to look for, or making an error that gets you on legal trouble.

Taxes were easy when I was a young broke adult, and I would do them myself on paper, but once I started owning things and having kids, the extra refund money that a professional or software would find was worth more than the cost to get their help.

I think it was $15.99 to file the state taxes. There are some extra services like you mentioned that you can sign up for, but you can ignore them. In the past Turbo would say Free file, but then interrupt you “looks like you have dependents, that’s going to cost you $20, oh no, you have stocks? Another $20 to file. Kids in college? That’s another $20.”

None of that this year! Already got my refund back too, so it’s just as quick as Turbo usually was.

No. Arguably Amazing is a constant in this equation. Revenue and expenses are the variables.

Since we’re on the topic, this year I quit using turbo tax, and tried freetaxusa. It’s just as easy, they found me a bigger refund, and it’s a LOT less expensive to file.

I think they mean IF the Bride didn’t have such a massive advertising budget, it probably could have sold more than it cost. Smaller advertising would have resulted in less sales overall, but would require less sales to become profitable.

McDonald’s is the most successful restaurant in the world, and it’s definitely not because of quality.

None of my jobs ever came from LinkedIn.

Just got a whole bunch of shitty offers from them.

Pretty much here. I just comment on things I find interesting and try to participate with other comments.

Hell yeah Static X! Good Jams.

Stress balls!

No, but I only use like 6 emojis.

I work at a college and getting an email back from a student within a month is an accomplishment.

Pig Hill. Legend has it that a family with major facial deformation (pig faces) due to inbreeding lived up there in the woods and killed hikers who got too close to their homestead.

A local filmmaker made a horror movie about it in the past few years. I haven’t seen it, and I don’t know if it’s available online.
