Wtf even is this thread? Too Much time on your hands

I’m not reading 25 pages. I read the first 15-20 posts and I’m surprised liberals are not claiming it was orchestrated by Trump

i think we've done 10AM EDT in the past.

Can size?!?

most people who use that don't use it with correct form.

hah. I was mainly agreeing with you but you know I like sports discussion. The yankees give guys way too much time. But I also can't really think of many teams off the top of my head in baseball that turn over coaches or GMs at an NFL style rate. (the mets recently come to mind)

I feel like baseball managers and GMs get fairly long leashes. Probably a bit of that has to do with exactly what you mentioned... but GM's also have to build via trades and free agency where possible and managers have to be liked by the players. With all the analytics, their jobs have become much less important... but still more important than any NBA coach.

cashman yes, boone doubtful... even though the issues lie way more with cashman.

i use weather bug and the standard apple weather app

I hear seafoam just logs into FFToday each morning and it tells him cloudy with a chance of balls on his chin and he just rolls with it.

Discussing Wander Franco here because.... why would I want to talk about it in a weepaws thread Piece of garbage. Sucks for the Rays. I am curious where the human trafficking charges come into play. Supposedly a 14 yr old girl when he was 21, in the Domincan Republic. Reminds me of all the cases of teachers and students over here. Supposedly he also paid the girls mother to let the relationship continue. Does the trafficking come into play because of that? I suppose it makes sense but doesn't sound like he was involved in some sort of human trafficking ring. A completely weird and F'ed up situation and I am not trying to excuse him by any means, I am just curious about the trafficking charges specifically. regardless of them he's never playing again and should be in jail

I can't imagine you acting as a parent for anyone. scary

considering managing chaos is a fairly large part of being potus, i agree

So in all of my research that I did when I got my letter from the IRS and was scrambling to try to figure out how to rectify the issue (they wanted to charge me the taxes for the unreported "income" as well as interest and penalties), everything I saw said that the $600 threshold was not in place in 2021, and I believe the idea was that it began in tax year 2023. In my case, the amount wasn't really the issue. I didn't sell a damn thing. I was basically transferring my own money from 1 account (my bank) to another account (draftkings) and vice versa. PayPal was the middle man and they don't care about money you send out, only money that comes in. Money that comes in gets classified as either "friends and family" or "business". So the bigger issue is that transfers of your own money coming back to you from DraftKings were being viewed as income. I made money gambling that year but that would have been reported under gambling income with documentation from DK, not under small business income. So it was a bit of a headache for me but my original point in bringing up the story was that my dealings with the IRS were actually pretty smooth and everything was resolved fairly quickly.

They would never have him captain but they were okay letting brooks be a captains pick and play. Ryder cup is a USA thing not a pga/liv issue. I get it. Just saying if LIV never happened I think Mickelson was penciled in as captain for this one. The NY/NJ fans always loved him.

The info is fresh in my mind I was dealing with all this about 10 months ago. I can’t imagine $600 as the limit. I could sell a set of golf clubs on eBay and have to file taxes as a small business owner / independent contractor. It’s insane. well, technically you can just list your profit and then zero it out with a deduction and include an explanation that you are not running a business, which is what they had me do with my gambling app transfers I wasn’t even pissed at PayPal for generating a 1099. I don’t expect them to be like oh, we see he also sent transactions out so these offset. I was more upset that they didn’t mail me a 1099 because I had no reason to anticipate one. Or at least email me saying it’s ready online.

as much as I can blame biden for many things, the $600 threshold was not an issue back then. It was something like $20,000 or 200 transactions. My incoming transfers from DraftKings totaled about $46,000, there were outgoing transfers to DK for like $38,000 that I used to offset and show that no 1099 should have been generated and it was not business income. DK also had no tax form for me for that year. a lot of the transfers were simply to take advantage of deposit bonuses. $500 in, $500 out next day or even same day, etc. PayPal told me that a number of companies already had agreements in place to have their transactions excluded from counting as business transactions, including FanDuel but in 2021, DK was not one of those companies. I believe they now are.

Not shocked White would be picked. Not a better player than Jaylen Brown (who I do think is better than Tatum)

odd Last August I got a bill proposal from the IRS for unreported 1099 income from 2021. Turned out to be a 1099 generated by paypal. Was never sent to me and I had no reason to expect one. Turned out that because my DraftKings account had always been linked to my paypal account (back when they were just DFS it was hard to do a direct transfer from a bank and PP was the easiest workaround)... All the transfers I did back and forth that year triggered a 1099 as PP considered the incoming transfers to be "income from the sale of goods and services" without taking into account the outgoing transfers. It was a headache. I made a spreadsheet for them showing all the outgoing and incoming and how the net was well under the 20k threshold they used to have for 1099 generation. They still made me claim the income as a business and then just told me to take the same amount as a deduction to offset it, but I needed to go through all that so they could dot their i's and cross their t's I guess. But the agent I worked with was helpful, 90% of communication was done via their messaging platform, and everything was sorted out within 2 weeks.

sorry. I don't really want to belabor this but I am not following your line of thinking. Where did I "pretend" this? Aside from my very first post, which I said was tongue in cheek (again, i'm not here to play sides but it is a little telling that all the immediate reactions to my post came from one side of the aisle), I was discussing CPI, not inflation. did you mean to say I was pretending to know that "CPI falling" means a decrease in the rate of inflation versus actual deflation? You would still be incorrect in your commentary but it would at least make some sort of sense as to where you think I was lying or backpedaling. However, I never spoke to the idea of CPI falling. I was stating a fact about it going negative for the first time in quite some time. You and I then went on to discuss the merits of this and it's potential impacts. I'm ignoring gutter because he is a petulant child and you are at least capable, usually, of just discussing. I am still waiting to be told which part was the lie though. All you have to do is highlight it in one of my posts that you have quoted.
