The IRS says you have to report illegal income and pay taxes on them.

The US government provides weapons for the genocide.

One of the main campuses in the protests is opening a campus in Israel, which students are opposing until Israel ends genocide and apartheid.

Many of the campuses donate money to or have partnerships with candidates and organizations that are also complicit in the genocide.

Of course Israel isn't going to stop genocide because a bunch of college students in the US don't like it. But that doesn't mean students have to sit idly as their tuition dollars go to fund genocide.

When I was making that kind of money, I still saved way more than 5%. Granted, after inflation, it is like $11.50 now. Still, 10% would have been pretty easy. 20% would be possible if I didn't blow money on things like spend $3K on a bike for hobby use. Also, that's assuming you don't have unexpected expenses. I lived somewhere where having a car wasn't necessary, so that made a huge different in budgeting. And when I needed surgery, I was lucky with insurance. Otherwise, that could have easily have eaten up the savings I had.

So 15% is definitely possible... with lots of luck and good circumstances.

People with money usually don't keep it as plain money though. On average, if you just invest it in S&P500 (assuming historical returns), it'll be worth at least 4 million after adjusting for inflation after 30 years. 3 million dollars reward for having 1 million dollars. But even if you're like a gold-standard fanatic and just put it in gold, the same applies.

Al capone was arrested for tax evation. I think one of the famous serial killers or mass murderers got caught because they were pulled over for something like speeding (granted, they probably would have been caught eventually anyways, but it happened a lot quicker).

Long-term consequences can be fun if you make it so. /hj

Jesus maybe? At church during the Christmas service. Accidentally dropped it. No clue how much it was worth, but I don't remember breaking particularly expensive things.

First you have to switch devices from the PC to the console to use it.

I grew up with SNES and N64 era, so maybe I'm old enough?

PC. Consoles are too much to deal with. Cartridges are probably better than discs, but either having to change games in either is probably gonna make me choose to just not play instead. With PC, everything is just a few clicks away.

Changing icons to color helps me find which ones I'm looking for. Seems weird it defaults to it looking like they're greyed out because they won't work on the current selection.

Also gotta love when the noise filter filters out your snoring, so the person you're talking to doesn't know you didn't hear because you fell asleep. Over and over through your conversation.
