Taxes Sucked My Time, Enjoy These Memes Instead

And I’m still doing taxes.  I’m missing a form from a broker, so unless I can get it electronically, it’s extension city.

Ugh.

*update, got the form online, taxes done.  Taxes still suck.

  1. I don’t see a photo of Amy. They’re all ‘taters, except for Roy Lee.

    Always suspected the Nips were wise. Ah-so, Land of The Rising Sun.

    And “just fat”…John, is that Admin’s cat from The Burning Platform???

  2. Laughed out loud at the AI cat video. My beloved wife had a cat like that once. My lot in life was to clean its litter box because the dust there aggravated her serious respiratory problems; her job was to listen to its contented purrs in her lap. A situation not unlike paying taxes.

    The deal we have is that she had twenty years with a cat and currently it’s my turn for 20 years without. I’m not looking forward to turning 76.

    Paid my taxes. Don’t understand why everybody gripes about that. I am just so thankful somebody else paid the 35% extra beyond my tax payment that is actually required to cover the Federal budget, er Continuing Resolution spending passed by our wise Congress. Thanks for that, Federal Reserve! You guys are the greatest!

    1. Kittens are cute. Taxes? Without the wealth transfer component mine would have been 10% of what they are.

  4. I just tried the “why my wife yells at me” versus “why my husband yells at me” and it works. For “why my wife…” it returned: “Your wife might be yelling because she feels unheard. When she feels like her thoughts and feelings are not being acknowledged or valued, yelling can be a way to assert her presence and the importance of her opinions.”

    And when I entered the “why my husband…” it returned: “Control Issues. Sometimes, yelling is a way to maintain control. If your husband uses yelling to intimidate you, it could be a tactic to get what he wants. This is a serious issue and can be a form of emotional abuse.”

    1. That’s like the old parable…….If a man says something in a forest, and there isn’t a woman around to hear it, is he still wrong?

  5. I made less in 2025 than I did in 2024, yet somehow I owed more in taxes to the tune of $11,875.

  6. What’s the big deal about an AI reprinting a floor plan? I’ve been seeing books of pre-architected floor plans for about 60 years (dadgummit!).

    1. I have a different take. That floor plan is insane. Pure nonsense. A guest bedroom stuck between two bathrooms and smaller than either one? And labeled as if it could be both a bedroom and bathroom? The more I look around, the sillier it gets.

      I think whoever did it is making fun of how AI is getting shoved into everything and talked about as if it’s wonderful, when it’s virtually worthless.

      1. I’m not Catholic, but decided to give up something that was bad for me, for Lent, so I removed Microsoft Windows from my life….permanently.

        Got tired of them pushing AI into everything, the constant reboots, the bugs, and the privacy issues. Just as with the architecture above, the AI suggestions in everything were getting ridiculous.

        I switched to Ubuntu Linux and it is like I discovered happiness for the first time. Yeah, there is a bit of a learning curve, but anything I want to do, I can do, and it actually works (and works quickly) in a package that is a tiny fraction of the size of Windows.

        So yeah, to John’s point, I think giving up things for Lent can open up all sorts of doors to improvement that we might not consider otherwise.

  7. One giant company town in the great leap hook nose.
    Taxes? Pay for your own replacement and genocide.
