I’m pretty sure I read that auditing the wealthy is a huge profit center for the IRS, because they find people who aren’t paying what’s owed. Naturally conservatives (of any party) hate this and gut it whenever possible

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•How many sexual partners have you had?
4·12 hours agoI realized the other day that I don’t have a solid count. A friend of mine revealed they have a document with a line item for everyone they’ve slept with and a brief summary.
I’d guess it could reasonably round to 100, though.

Games@lemmy.world•FINAL FANTASY VII REVELATION - Reveal TrailerEnglish
11·16 hours agoOh good. I thought Sony had their head up their ass and were going to do a PlayStation exclusive.
Meh trailer, but I’ll probably pick up the game eventually. I didn’t love the story changes in the second game, so I’m prepared to hate this ending. But maybe it’ll be good!

Technology@lemmy.world•Meta putting up tents across the US to house AI servers, like ‘a scene out of the movie Mad Max’ — structures take three months to build and use jet engines for powerEnglish
4·1 day agoI have wondered about that. What kind of range can you get DIY? I guess if you did fire something they could try to do physics to figure out where it came from, but you’d hopefully be long gone by then.
I remember working at a place that was just counting up for order IDs, numbers and letters. I was like “eventually it’s going to start spelling bad words” but management didn’t care.
Several thousand hours in gw2. Really liked it.
I hope they keep the stuff I liked. Solo friendly but other people are around to casually join up or whatever. No level grinding. No gear grind.
A prequel seems like it would be unnecessarily putting themselves in a narrative box.
It would be far more interesting to me to either do a time jump forward, or go someplace else. They have the mists in the setting already to explore.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What did it feel like when you first moved out of your family’s home?
5·1 day agoPretty good. Didn’t have to worry about my parents barging in, or bickering, or any of that.
It’s all projection. They can’t square their self image with the reality so they project it onto other people to sooth the cognitive dissonance. They’re garbage people. Like in a deep, fundamental, way. They are bad at existing in a complicated world.

Technology@lemmy.world•Americans Have Grown Dramatically Anti-Data Center in Just Months, Survey FindsEnglish
10·2 days agoIf the “geniuses” who run these tech firms spent less money lobbying politicians and instead offered to pay for the college tuition of every student who successfully graduated from the local high school, they would probably get a very different reaction from the public.
Yeah , they could do a lot with their wealth. Unfortunately they are stupid and selfish. They’re playing a dangerous game and eventually they’ll roll for guillotines.

Fuck Cars@lemmy.world•Manhattan Community Board Backs Mayor Mamdani’s plan to put a two-way protected bike lane on W. 72nd Street English
9·2 days agoMomentum was not with project opponents, however, some of whom suggested no one would use the bike lane even as dozens of their neighbors spoke out in favor of its installation.
Self centered idiots
Bike lane opponents’ concerns always turn out to be “unfounded,” said longtime CB7 member and current CB7 transportation co-chair Ken Coughlin.
“I’ve been through all the bike lane battles, every single one, and it’s always been like this,” he said on Tuesday. “People said businesses will suffer, safety will be compromised, especially for pedestrians, and there will be more congestion — and in every case, it’s proven to be unfounded.”
And yet pro-car people never seem to learn. I guess for a lot of them it’s a “this is the first time I’ve ever thought about this problem”
It helps that I’m absolutely not a picky eater. Rice. Beans. Whatever random spices speak to me. Done. Content.

14·3 days agoWhat a piece of shit.
In both 2024 and 2025, the department suggested Batman use the building’s rear entrance to avoid seeing the flag and that he seek counseling for any distress he might experience.
Truly.

News@lemmy.world•Nearly 60 Idahoans sick after drinking raw milk in past two weeks, officials say
3·3 days agoI think it’s less about they would have died without having kids, and more about they would have died in some isolated village and their ideas would have died with them.
Now they’re all over the internet spreading their shitty thinks like viruses.

PC Master Race@lemmy.world•New data shows Sony's sales of its PlayStation exclusives have been in decline since 2020, covering almost the entirety of the PS5 generation so farEnglish
11·4 days agoThere’s really no way I’m buying a PlayStation exclusive. Even if someone gave me a PlayStation for free, I’d hesitate.

PC Master Race@lemmy.world•The Witcher 4 Cinematics Designer Says "People Aren't Ready" For The GameEnglish

It’s billions of dollars of tax “avoidance”, cheating, and simply not paying. Unfortunately, the wealthy who are calling the shots don’t really want to pay millions for IRS lawyers
