YSK - for all the things that can make your life easier!

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must begin with YSK.

All posts must begin with YSK. If you're a Mastodon user, then include YSK after @youshouldknow. This is a community to share tips and tricks that will help you improve your life.



Rule 2- Your post body text must include the reason "Why" YSK:

**In your post's text body, you must include the reason "Why" YSK: It’s helpful for readability, and informs readers about the importance of the content. **



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding non-YSK posts.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-YSK posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

If you are a member, sympathizer or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.

For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- The majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Unless included in our Whitelist for Bots, your bot will not be allowed to participate in this community. To have your bot whitelisted, please contact the moderators for a short review.

why: so the government won't be able to use your money for whatever the fuck they're planning for the next 4 years.

as a traveler, none of my money has been funding Israel, for example.

one-step method: you basically fill out one extra tax form called FEIE while you're doing your taxes, write down the dates you were outside of the country, and then since you aren't in the country and are not receiving any services from the US, you don't have to pay income tax up to a certain amount (it's a little over 125k this year).

They also charge you a crazy exit tax if you want to give up citizenship in order to save on taxes. They always get their pound of flesh.

[–] morgan_423@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago

Which is absolutely wild to me, considering that all natively born citizens received their citizenship involuntarily at birth.

poli scie 101... they have the monopoly on violence

[–] aesthelete@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

That's actually libertarian idiot 101, different class, held in the garage of a disheveled rancher flying a gadsden flag.

Anyone who throws out clown emojis is a clown themselves.

It’s the internet rule 42069.

[–] sunzu2@thebrainbin.org -2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Living in a clown world!

Life's fantastic when everything has micro plastic

[–] SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I’m sorry I’m too dumb to understand this.

Can you explain it a bit better?

[–] sunzu2@thebrainbin.org 0 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Modern life is a circus and we are all just clowns in it!

No, not all of us.

Just the trump voters and anyone who sat the election out.

Because they’re as bad.

[–] aesthelete@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

WTF are you even talking about?

[–] sunzu2@thebrainbin.org 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

You suggested that state doesn't have a monopoly on violence.

What are you basing that position on?

[–] aesthelete@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Ever heard of the castle doctrine?

That's just one example. Maybe next time you attend libertarian idiot 101 you should do it with a bit of skepticism instead of immediately accepting everything they say without evidence.

In no way does that link prove that the state has a monopoly on violence. Are we just pasting random Wikipedia articles and pretending that's an argument now?
