wanted to share my favorite reddit post ever

[mariekanker]

visual gags that are well made and smart

[bogleech]

Maybe this is a bold statement and this wasn't even one of my favorite cartoons back then but there's honestly been very little television animation as alive and involved as Ed Edd and Eddie either before or since. John K's era of Ren & Stimpy still gets upheld by some of animation fandom as the most cartoonest cartoon ever cartooned but it's like stiff yogi bear tier animation when compared to any single minute of Eds.

[ropnolcart]

Ed Edd n Eddie's slapstick and visual gags are god tier and they're only further enhanced by quite possibly the most unique sound design out of any cartoon, so much so that it's been made a meme in recent years.

While Ren and Stimpy was being incredibly by the books with its sound effects, Ed Edd n Eddy was adding stock burp sound effects to impacts or yodeling for offscreen characters moments before they crash into shot. It's incredibly surreal even to this day and nothing has ever quite come to match it!

every prehistoric human reconstruction has me thinking “I want to smoke weed with this bitch”

she looks like she would have been an awesome neighbor, like she would have loved menthols and called me baby

[byjove]

“a Cheeto could have killed a Victorian child” but the opposite. Neanderthals would have loved to go to Hardee’s and get a burger with me.

[kermits-cup-of-tea]

neanderthals would have walked hand in hand with me into hell (buccees opening day)

[byjove]

When I saw this article two years ago and found out Neanderthals were seasoning their food 70,000 years ago, I teared up thinking about how they never got to try things like beef jerky and Doritos.

Richard Siken… Richard Fucking Siken. You asked RICHARD SIKEN if his poems were inspired by BUDDIE. Gay men do not exist in people’s heads except as props huh?

[skodasforge]

You might as well ask Allen Ginsburg’s corpse if “Howl” is secretly about Ryliver at this point. Jesus Christ.

[skodasforge]

Gonna be completely honest if I got this kind of feedback from one of the world’s most famous gay poets, I’d just scrub my entire online presence and start from scratch.

More on this from Siken:

Obito, literally explains to Kakashi that he didn't start the war over him or Rin. That the reason why he despair, meaning losing hope in the world and starting a war, was the circumtances that forced Kakashi and Rin into a position where Kakashi had to kill her and Rin had to kll herself. He literally says "The shinobi system, the village, they created this circumstances. What caused me to dispair was this world."

Most Naruto fans conclusion 'till this day: "Omg he loved Rin so much he started a war for her!!"

Like are y'all stupid? It's literally spelled out.

The point of Obito's character is to represent someone who had goodness, hope and dreams in his heart, and the reality of how the world works literally crushes all of that. He can't handle the reality, so he tries to create a fake reality to deal with his pain and despair.

Adding the screencaps of chapter 629. Sorry I don't have the official translation

FOLKS, PLEASE…DO YOUSELVES A BIG BIG FAVOR AND STOP USING TURBOTAX!  IT IS USELESS NOW!!!

THE IRS website will let you fill out and file your return THERE ON THE IRS SITE.  You pay like $12 for the actual electronic filing process, and THAT’s IT!

Unless you have tremendous amounts of Schedule D stock shit, TurboTax is NOTHING BUT A RIPOFF!!!

The IRS website is EXCELLENT.  They allow you to look up your past returns, and have every bit of information you MIGHT POSSIBLY NEED!

FUCK TURBOTAX!

LIBERATE YOURSELF FROM IT!!!!!!!

[nebulousmistress]

Actually, with Free File it’s FREE

No $12 fee

That’s the point of free

If you make less than an income threshold you get to file for FREE using various softwares that are REQUIRED to be and stay free or they lose the license to work with the IRS as part of the Free File program

If you make more than that threshold you can file for FREE using the Free File Fillable Forms where you type in numbers and click “do the math” and the website does all your math for you

Also fuck turbotax, I’m not even allowed to use it because it’s inaccurate enough that I’d get fired since Congress mandated all IRS employees’ taxes need to be PERFECT as a condition of employment

[knottahooker]

Here’s a list of free tax filing services, straight from the IRS website:

It tells you how much their income threshold is and if they’ll free file for you at the state level.

DO NOT PAY TO FILE YOUR TAXES IF YOU DO NOT HAVE TO.

[racefortheironthrone]

So I did Free File yesterday, and I don’t think people realize how broad the eligibility is - it goes all the way up to  $41,000 or less a year in adjusted gross income. (There are also even more generous eligibility standards for seniors and veterans, so you should check those out if you qualify). Odds are pretty good that you are among the 42% of Americans who fit into that bucket.

So screw the predatory TurboTaxes of the world and save yourself a couple hundred bucks a year.

[snkl-frtz]

Wish I would’ve known about this last week before I filed my taxes 🙃

Having an abusive parent is kinda funny in retrospect like mommy why do you have beef with me im 4 i love you

[teaboot]

Haters (my dad) can't stand to see a bad bitch (me, nine years old) winning ("drawing too loud")

[gildedproblems]

How do you draw too loud?

[teaboot]

Well you see the thing is that child abuse is inherently irrational

[hollowboobtheory]

you know there actually is a meaningful difference between 'men's' and 'women's' deodorant beyond the selection of scents. 'mens' plays better with pit hair and doesn't pill up in it and 'womens' tends to have a more powdery finish to help prevent chafing. so really the two genders are actually hairy and bald.

[hollowboobtheory]

realizing this was such a paradigm shift for me and i have to wonder what other "uselessly" gendered products are like this, where they actually are different in a way that would be useful to consumers but some marketing department decided instead of just saying what the difference is, to prescribe which you need based on the most arbitrary metric, so nebulous that what it even means varies from person to person. as if they think you're too dumb to look at "anti-chafing powder formula" and "lightweight gel formula" and decide for yourself which one would work best.

Biden Administration Proposes Rule To Curb Disability Discrimination In Health Care

Federal officials are proposing new regulations prohibiting medical providers from discriminating against people with disabilities and setti

“This historic proposed rule will advance justice for people with disabilities and help ensure they are not subjected to discrimination under any program or activity receiving funding from HHS just because they have a disability.”

[grison-in-space]

Holy shit, this is huge. Like, so huge.

[hardyorange]

"Specifically, the rule would bar medical treatment decisions from being based on biases or stereotypes about disabilities. Likewise, judgements about the value of an individual’s life or their burden on others could not factor into treatment decisions related to organ transplants, life-sustaining care, crisis standards of care or otherwise.

The proposal also establishes enforceable standards for accessible medical diagnostic equipment and would require certain medical providers to have at least one accessible exam table and one accessible weight scale within two years of the rule being finalized."

(Additionally, the rule addresses ableist biases in granting child custody and other matters relating to families and disabilities; bolding added by me.)
