@@effluviah7544 That's upsetting. I commonly used question-based online filing with tax preparation services, but those options do cost some money to save energy from having to do math. That said, the IRS will be opening up Free File in January for this tax year. If your AGI is below $72K, you can have access to free filing services from the IRS site where you do no math and just answer questions based on your relevant documents and information. To be fair, this is only for federal taxes, but it will save you money and headaches for at least that filing. Another assurance is that the IRS will generally let you know without malice if you made a tiny mistake on your forms. They will tell you what's missing or wrong with a proposed amendment of you return, give you a refund if you over-reported, and give you options for paying whatever you still owe (with some interest and a failure-to-pay penalty). It's only if you aren't reporting a significant amount of money that you owe taxes on that you could be audited and charged with tax evasion; we're talking side-businesses and a whole second jobs' worth of income, so it's not widely applicable to most people. Basically, it's fine to over-report taxes because they'll only give you back what you didn't owe. If you are a small-fry working class citizen, you probably aren't in real danger of arrest. You can rest easy, even if you make math mistakes.

My favorite part about the whole sigma grindset thing is that by their own definition, none of these sigma/alpha/ect. believing dudes can possibly be their idea of sigma, because they claim sigmas don't care about how they're perceived.
It's always the people who care the most about how other people see them, who talk the loudest and longest about how much they don't care what other people think. Meanwhile the people who actually, genuinely don't care about other people's opinions, don't bother wasting energy on letting people know they don't care. They just ignore what other people think and move on. Or they pay no attention in the first place. It's the same with people who constantly talk about how strong and tough they are. If they were actually as strong and tough as they claim, they wouldn't need to tell anyone. It would be obvious for all to see. And the people who are actually that strong and tough, don't need to boast about it. Because they *know* how strong and tough they are. They don't need to prove it to anyone, least of all themselves. It's that Tywin Lannister quote: "Any man who has to say 'I am the king' is no true king."
Sorry for the ignorance but why exactly is people knowing your Social Security Number is a bad thing? I understood that the SSN is a personal identifier, which would make it similar to the DNI we have here in Peru. Which is basic public knowledge, anyone can go and check that information since the government has a webpage that allows you to to search the details by name or number. It being public is the entire point of the system, so anyone can easily verify that the one they are making a deal with is the person who they say they are. So it is a requirement to do anything, but it is not the ONLY requirement, so having others know your number is a non-issue.
@@Adser261 in the US your SSN is not public knowledge. It has a lot of weight when verifying your identity specifically because no one is supposed to know it but you (and the government). That alone can be used to do a lot in your name. Like open credit cards in your name and things of that nature. And even in situations where you need more info, the SSN is often enough to get that info through some means.
@@TheOdinsLance So how exactly is it used if only you and the government know it? Does each business has to make a special, private coordination with the government to validate this information? And why would that be enough to open a credit card? Here the DNI has a lot of information to identify the owner (name, sex, date of birth, updated photo, etc.) so it would be blatantly obvious that the person attempting to open a credit card is not the one who owns the number. A business could still go forward and do the transaction, but that would open them to terrible consequences if the one affected makes a complain or demand. It seems like a badly designed system if so much weight of it's security is based on the secrecy of something you have to share with multiple sources anyway.
@@Adser261 I think there might be a bit of confusion. Your SSN is just a number. You're not expected to carry it on you for daily use, you're actually just expected to memorize it. We have another card that has stuff like our date of birth, gender, physical characteristics and a photo on it. That would be safe to pull out to prove your identity on the spot since the other person would need your SSN to do anything with that info. And yes, you do have to make an account with a government service to confirm a SSN. I don't know the specifics, but it probably just gives you the info off of that person's other ID to cross reference to prove their identity in a more concrete way. Since you need to prove your own identity to the government to make this account, you can't use it for dubious purposes or the government would be able to track you down. The people you give it to are also expected to store it securely or they get in trouble if the info is leaked or abused. Also they'd be the first suspects, so it would be pretty dumb on their part to just use it to do something like open a bank account or start a credit card.

@@Shadest It's even better/worse than that. The NFT links to a website where the JPEG is hosted. That website can disappear from the internet at any time, regardless of what happens to the blockchain. So you can end up with a receipt for a link that points to fucking nothing.

The only NFTs that I had any interest in in general were the vaporwave ones where it was a gif with music. I never bought them, but looking at them was fun.
It doesn't matter if a thing is ACTUALLY valuable. What matters is if people think the thing has value. Take the dollar for example. Its just paper, cloth, ink. Is it really valuable? No. Does it matter? No. thats the agreed upon unit of currency for trade so it has value. The dollar isn't even backed by gold anymore. Nfts ARE stupid. But it doesn't matter.

Bruh, that little high five from Gief as Pat hands him his treat...
NFTs always sound like OC (Original Character) auctions, to me and nothing will change my mind about it
Only more absurd and also the energy use in making them is orders of magnitude more extreme.
Except they also destroy the planet.
they are.
but with money laundering.
and shittier OCs.
It's more like "I made this" meme gone out of control
@@TheOdinsLance *monkey laundering?
NFTs are like the pendant in Dark Souls 1. Those who pick it try to find its purpose, thus never hollowing out. Except, the thing is that maybe hollowing out is a good idea.
Except that even the pendant has some quantifiable value: You can give it to Snuggly for a souvenir of reprisal. Darkmoon rep!
i keep forgetting how big Geif has gotten. he's such a beefy boi now.
Pat wiping off Zangief at the beginning is amazing. What a precious and fat goopy boy.

Straight up cliced this for the thumbnail your new guy is killin it
The IRS *ALWAYS* gets their cut. Maybe not now, maybe not for many years, but eventually they will get their's
Thats the funny/sad part about this is that people think crypto is a 'safe' investment. Spend millions getting random crypto and NFTs now, and theyll be billions in 10 years!
Even if we assume an NFT becomes billions of dollars in shitcoin... Goberment aint gonna let you cash that check into Real Life Coin once boomers figure out how to use their smartphone.
Quick easy cash plan guys. We all take 50 bucks each put it into a giant bowl I take out 200 and if you can convince your friends to put 50 in as well you too might be able to turn your original 50 into 200.

There MUST be a way to make an N Pass Plus joke out of NFTs
My own personal verified N Pass, nobody else can say it like me
Edit: NON FUNGIBLE SLUR
You get an exclusive consonant added to some part of the word
No, no, the N-PT works like this: You get a nice piece of paper, it's embossed and everything, and you get a digital copy of this paper, that says you used your pass on a date and time, and whether you used the hard R too.
Rewatching that clip from the podcast this is scarily accurate woolie predicted NFTs
"Give us your K R O M E R"
We're rocketing towards Transmetropolitan, a future in which no one remembers what actual year it is.
If you throw a Lloyd's Talisman at an NFT bro they fall asleep long enough for you to click save as on one of their monkey pictures.
Somebody wearing the symbol of avarice promises that they'll take care of you and keep your money safe.
There's been multiple jokes about it already on Twitter, but NFTs absolutely sound like a hair-brained scam you run into in a Yakuza substory that ends in Kiryu beating the shit out of the guys who tried to hustle him.
Tim Rogers' comment about Elon fans is 100 percent applicable to NFT bros and... those people are probably one and the same.
Yeah the overlap there is less a venn diagram and more a circle.
Man this clip is gonna be a time-capsule to somethin' in a few years lol. Or months. Or weeks who knows.
Is this going to be Woolie next business venture after the N pass premium?
NFT Pass
N Coin
No, N-Pass is a physical item with a purpose at least.
Tricking a crypto bro into buying a Dark Sign NFT is hilarious
Big gief get big clean
Fun fact, comics found out if gorillas were on the cover, they would make more money. Noone knows why.. So you can find a LOT of ape comics/characters.
"Link the fire! now now now!" is just way to strong
Woolie must have cracked super hard like now when they make his dreamed thumbnail a reality
Once again, Ornstigor and Smougrishka Bogdanoff have crashed the SoulCoin market, making everyone go hollow.
Was really hoping to see this posted so I could share with my friends. Thank you!
Pats scooby laugh at 5:15 is the most honest reaction I think I've seen since woolie learned there was no filter on the wow classic chat
Nah nah nah, Kaathe is definitely a crypto head. He goes around scamming everyone, telling them "No bro, I swear that the Age of Dark and being a Dark Lord is dope and Lifedrain is cool, nothing bad is gonna happen" and then they fall into the Abyss and he just peaces out to scam the next bunch of idiots

My favorite part about the whole sigma grindset thing is that by their own definition, none of these sigma/alpha/ect. believing dudes can possibly be their idea of sigma, because they claim sigmas don't care about how they're perceived.
It's always the people who care the most about how other people see them, who talk the loudest and longest about how much they don't care what other people think. Meanwhile the people who actually, genuinely don't care about other people's opinions, don't bother wasting energy on letting people know they don't care. They just ignore what other people think and move on. Or they pay no attention in the first place.
It's the same with people who constantly talk about how strong and tough they are. If they were actually as strong and tough as they claim, they wouldn't need to tell anyone. It would be obvious for all to see. And the people who are actually that strong and tough, don't need to boast about it. Because they *know* how strong and tough they are. They don't need to prove it to anyone, least of all themselves.
It's that Tywin Lannister quote: "Any man who has to say 'I am the king' is no true king."
Yeah, I don't think I'd give my social security number too any video game company. I'm pretty sure they all get breached every couple years.
Sorry for the ignorance but why exactly is people knowing your Social Security Number is a bad thing? I understood that the SSN is a personal identifier, which would make it similar to the DNI we have here in Peru.
Which is basic public knowledge, anyone can go and check that information since the government has a webpage that allows you to to search the details by name or number. It being public is the entire point of the system, so anyone can easily verify that the one they are making a deal with is the person who they say they are. So it is a requirement to do anything, but it is not the ONLY requirement, so having others know your number is a non-issue.
@@Adser261 in the US your SSN is not public knowledge. It has a lot of weight when verifying your identity specifically because no one is supposed to know it but you (and the government). That alone can be used to do a lot in your name. Like open credit cards in your name and things of that nature. And even in situations where you need more info, the SSN is often enough to get that info through some means.
@@TheOdinsLance So how exactly is it used if only you and the government know it? Does each business has to make a special, private coordination with the government to validate this information?
And why would that be enough to open a credit card? Here the DNI has a lot of information to identify the owner (name, sex, date of birth, updated photo, etc.) so it would be blatantly obvious that the person attempting to open a credit card is not the one who owns the number. A business could still go forward and do the transaction, but that would open them to terrible consequences if the one affected makes a complain or demand.
It seems like a badly designed system if so much weight of it's security is based on the secrecy of something you have to share with multiple sources anyway.
My exact thought, you KNOW there's gonna be a breach, I don't even trust them with my main email..... you'll get the Yahoo one and like it.. Foh..
@@Adser261 I think there might be a bit of confusion. Your SSN is just a number. You're not expected to carry it on you for daily use, you're actually just expected to memorize it. We have another card that has stuff like our date of birth, gender, physical characteristics and a photo on it. That would be safe to pull out to prove your identity on the spot since the other person would need your SSN to do anything with that info.
And yes, you do have to make an account with a government service to confirm a SSN. I don't know the specifics, but it probably just gives you the info off of that person's other ID to cross reference to prove their identity in a more concrete way. Since you need to prove your own identity to the government to make this account, you can't use it for dubious purposes or the government would be able to track you down. The people you give it to are also expected to store it securely or they get in trouble if the info is leaked or abused. Also they'd be the first suspects, so it would be pretty dumb on their part to just use it to do something like open a bank account or start a credit card.
If the porn industry and furries are staying out of crypto and NFTs, then so am I.
like 60% of NFT´s out there are furry shit, there is no escape
@@MagnusPrimeZ not really the monkeys and lions look terrible no furry would buy it.

One thing I don't understand about crypto madness is that the definition of fiat is there for all people to see and draw conclusions about how the world engine works.
The term fiat derives from the Latin word fiat, meaning "let it be done" used in the sense of an order, decree or resolution.
Marx wasn’t joking, that Capitalism sure can does decay

@@ricardomiles2957 nu uh what about the hyper loop with epic 100 gaymer lights?

I have no knowledge on NFTs aside from that they're jpegs people pay money for but I always screenshot them anyway because it's funny as hell
NFT’s aren’t the JPEG’s, they’re a unit of data that acts as a digital certificate confirming ownership of the JPEG.
@@Martianorbit that's even dumber lol
"yeah i got this link on my hard drive that says this picture is mine you aren't allowed to save it" fuck off bro lmao
@@Shadest based mspaint ralsei dunks on crypto scams
@@Shadest It's even better/worse than that.
The NFT links to a website where the JPEG is hosted. That website can disappear from the internet at any time, regardless of what happens to the blockchain. So you can end up with a receipt for a link that points to fucking nothing. WHICH HAS ALREADY HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES.
It would be like buying the proof of ownership of the original Mona Lisa, except you don't then get to take it out of the gallery it's housed in. And then the art gallery it's housed in burns down, and the painting is destroyed. And all the art galleries in this analogy are soaked in petrol and lit by candlelight.
This reminds me of when an art gallery paid someone 100k to fill a slot and he stapled 100s to canvas and framed it they sent it back to him and he took the dollars off the canvas made it blank and sent it back and they hung it for a venue.
Video game companies are not prepared to act as Banks with YOUR FINANCIAL information. Souls being a real currency is going to be ridiculous.
That's some real monkey business.
Nftbros realizing they're after being scammed be like:
Gwyn, the Lord of Crypto, forked his Lordcoin into five NFTs, which he then sold to his closest cryptobros: the Four Monkeys of New Londo and the keeper of his Humanity cold-storage notes, paleape Seath the Fiatless. Go now and mine the Lordcoins, so that the blocks may be chained in the Cryptovessel, and link them to the First Block, so that His Age of Hodl may continue...
"And the Non-Fungible Pygmy, so easily forgotten"
wait till they introduce NFTs of PixelWoolies. Every one of them are randomly generated Woolies with different dread colors, hats, facial expressions and glasses
I checked to see if someone ported the Gwyn to SFM for totally not remotely related reasons and am highly disappointed that seemingly isn't the case.
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve seen NFTBros realized how much they wasted on a link and not the JPEG after it’s explained to them
man you know the furies have had this nft thing figured out for years with their "adoptions"
Possibly the truest thing on this podcast the entire year
Man, that laugh almost rivalled the Arcana Hearts one during the Parasite Eve playthrough.

I literally had someone on Twitter ask how NFTs could be a con if people are making money off them.
Why in the world do you think people run con jobs in the first place?
I have a family member who's super excited about the idea of NFT, and I consider them the most well educated person in the household.
Me, a dumbass artist, who has little knowledge of business, just squinting hard at an idea of sus easy money making.
This shit HAD ME ROLLING getting ready for work today.
Been on an Otaku/casual anime/VTuber streak since July, rarely checked new clips or stopped by the live streams of this podcast being made, but seeing the title and thumbnail...I knew this was gonna be quite a noteworthy, best-of-the-best highlight reel, glad I can catch it here. 🥴😌
The only NFTs that I had any interest in in general were the vaporwave ones where it was a gif with music. I never bought them, but looking at them was fun.
It doesn't matter if a thing is ACTUALLY valuable. What matters is if people think the thing has value.
Take the dollar for example. Its just paper, cloth, ink. Is it really valuable? No.
Does it matter? No. thats the agreed upon unit of currency for trade so it has value. The dollar isn't even backed by gold anymore.
Nfts ARE stupid. But it doesn't matter.
Just look up stupid art there's some that have gone for millions and its just 1-2 lines rich people buy stupid stuff
@@coryyoung7544 I could argue that art it's not always that simple and it isn't all about the realistic looking portraits buuut I wouldn't millions even for portraits that most people would say are cool
@@ricardomiles2957 no but that ends up with people wanting money for stupid stuff like 6k for a half eaten Reese's is just nuts I think a piece of toast shaped like Jesus went for 25k, the argument of the vid is people shouldn't place value in stuff that's just plain not worth it (art like Onement VI might have bin a bad choice since its artsy and "the eye of the beholder" gets thrown around alot)
True, but isn't the problem with NFTs that they are easily bypassed/copied? Basically to fallow that Dollar analogy, this is like money that can be counterfeited easily...
@@coryyoung7544 my favorite story about dumb "modern art" was an artist who was paid some crazy amount of money to make two peices, and he returned both canvases blank and labeled them "I took the money and ran"
Boy, this sure hits different after the latest SquareEnix announcement.
This is why the Dark lord ending is the good one.
it's another thing for the infinite bucket of "Stuff Some Guy On The Internet Said To Buy because man you'll make so much money this time I promise"
I don't understand how people keep falling for the same gag. And it's the *same* gag for all of the crypto nonsense and related items. They barely even changed the name this time except now it screws with the people that legit just want to draw monkeys for some reason! (or whichever art piece is applicable to given scam)
NFTs are at best the Virtual equivalent of POGs/Milk Caps.

Just posting a comment, in case some artist actually draws that fake ad/spam mail they came up with.
I could watch Pat clean Zangief's face wrinkles all day.
I will say that NFTs CAN be minted on the block chain and thus not just some shady hyperlink. But this rarely happens.
At first I thought I just didn't understand nfts. My mind just refused to accept that something so stupid could possibly exist, there must have been more. But no, it's just that stupid. Jesus christ I thought bitcoin was dumb. We live in hell
And it keeps getting dumber by the year. Not sure if that’s just a consequence of getting old and realizing we have no power to prevent obvious catastrophes or if the world is actually just losing sanity overall but boy oh boy do I feel ancient at this point.
