Re: What's your pet peeve in RL?

lol more taxes, erm goverment takes 20% of all my earnings for tax and another 6% for the national insurance ( I earn £18k a year if I'm lucky = 31,260.45CAD) . Plus most things we buy has a 20% VAlue Added Tax added onto it. which includes food shopping as well as other items like games, etc. In USA the value added tax rate is state set between 5% and 10%

In canada you pay 15% income tax up to 43,561CAD which is £25K equivilent where we have to pay 20%. PS4's are selling in canada for $399CAD (at best buy) that is £229.716 we are paying £349 which is $606.181CAD or $570.925USD

I wasn't comparing our rates to yours, only the U.S.


If you want to talk about crazy high taxes, the Scandinavian countries got everyone beat (or Brazil for certain imports).

It's only true in Norway, who are not in the EU. Most of my cousins from Sweden work in Norway but live at home in Sweden because of the wages in Norway being stupidly high, and the cost of living and taxes in Sweden being stupidly low.

How much does Norway being outside of the EU fuck over the people there? They pay £10 or about $16 for a pint of beer over there. because of the massive amount of tax on stuff there.

I said paying more in taxes, not necessarily getting "fucked over" - Finland pays some of if not THE highest taxes in the world, but they get a lot of good out of it too so it's a tradeoff.

Here in Canada, not so much...

And what makes people write that stuff?

Slash shippers are fucking weird. Unless the homosexuality is established in canon, it's honestly just disturbing. And what makes people write that stuff? Clearly they ship it, or they wouldn't write it, but where do you see in the history of two very straight people that they would suddenly become attracted to each other? Ugh.

My best guess is that what they're actually into is forbidden love, and slash shipping is an easy way to pull that off with any two same sex characters.

That explains so much.

White shaming. I'm a horrible, unfairly advantaged person who is the root of all problems, who doesn't even understand the problems that he's the root of.

Ok.

God, so true.

That's an ambiguous response.

Re: What's your pet peeve in RL?

I meant about the white shaming thing ... it's ridiculous how people discriminate against whites because "you can't possibly know what struggle is" or some other stupid crap like just because I'm white, I never have any problems in life.

That's all.

^ shit's getting old. It's not that I don't understand or care about the struggles of others, I most certainly do - but can we stop with the "my pain is more important/worse than yours" crap? The world's a shitty place, always has been, probably always will be though it doesn't HAVE TO.
