I don't mind paying for a service, but with a URL that includes the word "free" I was surprised to see at the top of the page "State Returns $14.99 $12.95 — 12 more days to save on state filing"

I'm sorry if my comment sounded very harsh to you. On the "bright" side, if my country ever gets destroyed, I have an insurance citizenship that "only" costs a few hundred dollars per year (and the nearly impossible

While this is bad news, I hope something like this can make knowing someone's SSN not such a security risk. It blows my mind that in America if someone knows your SSN they could defraud your bank, and the bank can then blame you and ma

Does this article have anything new to say? It is basically rewriting the main article and laughing about how dumb he is. I was hoping they would actually address his points. I've never lived in Austin or SV so I have nothing to go by

I fear that that will be "Californiaed" like with the prop 65 label. The intention was to inform the consumer if a product was dangerous, but due to California being California, that label is on basically every product and that la

If you are worried about deplatforming, why move to an app with the same issue? They should move to xmpp and then Trump (or whoever the thought leaders are) could pay for their own server. Although I do wonder how that would look after the

Well when when people like Cuomo make it a crime punishable by loosing your medical license to give (soon to be garbage) vaccines to anyone but the highest priority [0], this was expected. In Israel you have clinics that after 10 pm adverti
