The one thing "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" really lacked was the volume of nonces.

Jokes on you, I dont pay taxes (Laughs in not making enough money to be taxed)

[–] slaneesh_is_right@lemmy.org 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

It's funny how you can be too rich and too poor to pay taxes

[–] HexadecimalSky@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Yup, for now....im sure they'll find a way to lower that bar.

[–] Grapho@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

No such thing. You pay regressive taxes such as sales tax, tariffs and your landlord's property tax.

[–] HexadecimalSky@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Yeah, but kind of ruins the joke of not filing taxes. Also, not part of it but just for the fact 1/3 of my money comes from federal taxes (VA survivors grant) funny enough I think I actually pay less then what I receive, yay, thank you U.S. army for leeching the soul of my father and breaking my mom beyond repair.

That's the thing if you're too poor you don't pay taxes and if you're too rich you don't pay taxes.

Unfortunately most of us are in the narrow financial band where we do pay taxes.

If we go further until reaching the structure of the universe, the perspective is way clearer

It's like asking if one of the quarks in your body has pedo tendences, putting it in relation, it turns irrelevant. If the Earth and the whole Sunsystem disappear or is destroyed, nobody outside will notice the difference. We are only fly shit in the library of history.

I’m not in the Andromeda galaxy! I can tell that galaxy from this cropped picture any day!

[–] walthervonstolzing@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Not to mention, that this is an artist-enhanced version of composite pictures released by NASA that was included with MacOS X 10.7 as the default wallpaper ... so not really a photograph either.

A real photography from the total Milky Way don't exist, because we are part of it and at the moment not capable to leave enough to make a photo of the whole thing. All photos are recreations, inspired by the aspect of other galaxies, eg. Andromeda, or also from mathematic models, using the distances from the other objects.

A lot of the images from the NASA or ESA, are recreations or at least with edited colors, because they are made with radio-or infrared telescopes having as result only a list of numbers or contrast maps. It's like sharing in Lemmy, instead of an memr, the hex values of the B/W image.

mm yes, french elites famously not pedos, for example.

Why even stop at earth? You know there's some alien pedo species out there.

[–] djsoren19@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I've got some bad news for you about the rich and powerful around the world.

[–] individual@toast.ooo 1 points 2 months ago

no, they are all good, that's how they got where they are

[–] Venat0r@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I guess if the prisons where you live are funded by taxes, and there are some pedophiles in prison, then this is technically correct. 😅

[–] individual@toast.ooo 1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

1 out of ecery 200 Americans is in prison.

[–] Venat0r@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Is that including the ones in El Salvador?

[–] individual@toast.ooo 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

No, they had their citizenship taken away.

[–] Venat0r@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Also probably doesn't include the number in jail awaiting trial etc.

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 4 points 2 months ago

How did you take this photo?

Always has been

[–] diffaldo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 months ago

And those pedos fund fuck tons of reactionary creators.

[–] _g_be@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

I've heard the phrase "dollars to donuts" but this is a new one to me

[–] pitiable_sandwich540@feddit.org 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Not to bust your bubble, but aren't nationalism and antiquated role models on the rise among adolescents again?
