so

on one hand, my tax refund looks like ~100 less for federal

on the other, at least I don't owe with all this nonsense

sigh We haven't started ours yet.

I'm concerned we'll owe.

I am trying credit karma

Hugs Good luck

I have never filed my own taxes, but this year I have just one employer, and all in one state...

so why pay?

We use TurboTax. It's worked well so far.

uhg, need to find my stock paperwork

Incidentally, Mr D, the movie B's talking about is probably The Grey, with Liam Neeson.

Of course. that makes sense on multiple levels.

Thought it might.

The Liam neeson situation is on the news ... so that might be what set this off.

liam neeson situation?

blink Oh?

Ohhh, right...the bit about what an asshat he admitted to being when he was younger.

Yup.

Or to quote Wiki:

Neeson was accused of racism after an interview with The Independent was published in February 2019.[83][84] Speaking at a press junket for the film Cold Pursuit, Neeson explained his character's "primal" anger by recounting an experience he had many years ago. A woman close to him said she had been raped by a stranger, and Neeson asked what colour skin the attacker had; after learning the attacker was black, Neeson said that for about a week, he "went up and down areas with a cosh ... hoping some 'black bastard' would come out of a pub and have a go" so that Neeson "could kill him". In the interview, Neeson also said he was "ashamed" to recount the experience and that it was "horrible" that he did what he did. "It’s awful ... but I did learn a lesson from it, when I eventually thought, ‘What the fuck are you doing?'"[85][86]

In an appearance on Good Morning America, Neeson elaborated on his experience while denying being a racist, saying the incident occurred nearly 40 years ago, that he asked for physical attributes of the rapist other than race, that he would have done the same if the rapist was "a Scot or a Brit or a Lithuanian", that he had purposely gone into "black areas of the city", and that he "did seek help" from a priest after coming to his senses. Neeson said that the lesson of his experience was "to open up, to talk about these things", as there was still underlying "racism and bigotry" in both the United States and Northern Ireland. The controversy Neeson's comments caused led to the cancellation of the red carpet event for the premiere of Cold Pursuit.[87][88][89]

oh, ffs

Yup.

if we never let people improve...

or admit they were shitheels and are ashamed of it now...
