Mildly related, but for a while I've felt we should change the age of majority / self responsibility to age 25. It would improve a lot of things about society...

5th amendment: "No person shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself." How does this not apply here?

No, it is (supposedly) a longer document of which only a portion is shown in a screenshot.

I read that. He doesn't give the message that is signed (just the digest and a screen shot of a small portion of the file). Without the actual data, this can't be verified.

That you can use "creative tax accounting" to avoid paying your share hasn't been true for decades due to the AMT. The onus is really on you to explain what you mean, or cite a source here.

This is what I was responding to. I happen to think occultists are wrong (as in: factually incorrect in their beliefs). But they are entitled to think whatever they want, so that's not a problem. What is a problem is objecting to dat
