    How it actually works is that the IRS doesn’t known how much you need to pay. You provide your income and taxes already paid throughout the year then the IRS says “yeah, looks about right for what you made” or here’s money back you paid to much or didn’t pay enough. It only gets complicated when you have huge amounts of money.




  • There are no moral absolutes, no foundational beliefs, no core values at the heart of Conservative ideology.

    I disagree and you kinda touch on it later in the post:

    If you view the world through this lens, any fight, any political topic, whatever it is you want, you are righteous.

    That is the core value. It’s absolutism. They are good people therefore whatever they do is good. Or at least not bad. Abortions are bad, but if they get one, like you said, it’s out of necessity. Not because they wanted to. Not like the degenerate left, who does it for fun on a whim.


  • A pass key is the private key in a private/public key pair. The private key is stored in the TPM on your device. The website contains the public key. When you use your “one password” you’re in effect giving your device permission to access the key storage in your TPM to fetch the private key to present it to the site.

    What this means in practice is that if a website has a data breach they won’t have your hashed password, only your public key which… is public. It doesn’t and can’t do anything on its own. It needs the private key, which again only you have and the website doesn’t store, to do anything at all.

    If you want to read more about it look into cryptographic key pairs. Pretty neat how they work.


  • I liketo think my take on the conflict is pretty nuanced. Generally, I don’t like the State of Isreal.

    Let me be crystal clear with what I just wrote: I believe the government of Isreal has fostered a culture of dehumanizing Palestinians and is complicit in crimes against humanity. This is apparent with its history of stealing land and extra-judicial killings of Palestinian civilians by the IDF. The people of Israel deserve so much better.

    This sentiment also largely applies to Palestine. The Hamas Government triggered this conflict by striking at civilians in Israel. I understand that their primary driving ideology is to kill jews and I think that is fucked up. I also understand that after years of the afore mentioned land grabbing and killings it has led to these extreme attacks by Hamas. It really feels like a chicken and egg situation, which started first. Either way the people of Palestine deserve so much better.

    I am more than capable of assigning blame to the appropriate places and lament the affects it has on the victims of violence.
