burial posted:I realise I’m way late with this, but the monopoly man doesn’t have a monocle. This is true. It’s called the Mandela effect after Nelson Mandela—a lot of people remember him being around until the early 2010s, when actually he died in the 1980s There’s also one where a lot of people vividly remember a movie called Kazaam where Shaq plays a genie. No such movie exists, though people are possibly remembering a similar movie starring Sinbad.

From the department of judgy insecure assholes, or what happens when an incel finally gets laid. Am I (27M) overreacting with this girl (27F) admitting to have had unprotected sex in the recent past? quote:I've never been in a serious relationship, but now I am trying to invest in something with this girl I've met 2 months ago, because I like a lot of things about her and feel things with her that I've never felt before with anyone. Our situation is quite complicated: I am living abroad (in her home country), and will be going back to my home country next month because I found a job there. So we have been discussing about the possibility of her going to live there with me. Even though it's been only 2 months since we've met, we both feel like something quite strong has developed, so decided to try to make it work, and have been discussing about all the things that we think might impose an obstacle to the success of our relationship as well as our relationship goals, because we want to make sure that everything is aligned before moving forward.

There's actually a crazy subreddit about Mandela effects and every post is like, "something is this way now, but I remember it this way, what!!! timelines!! alternate universes!!! ahhhhh the government is mind-wiping us!" It's super dumb but to be honest I was pretty surprised about the fruit of the loom cornucopia not actually being a thing.

The best part is that even eyewitness accounts taken directly after an event are unreliable. How could you possibly ever have remembered something from twenty years ago incorrectly? It’s gotta be aliens.

Isn't an employer obligated to report a crime or they become an accomplice to a crime? It's flimsy as hell, but the local cops might get a kick out of arresting and/or scaring her a bit. It's just a prank bro.

The "Berenstein Bears" thing is especially dumb, people are obviously just remembering a common surname suffix instead of a weird one and somehow it got blown up into this whole pseudoscience thing I was a Jewish kid; I promise you, if it were Berenstein I would have noticed

Pick posted:This poo poo is infuriating. Leech families. If my business took off or I hit the lottery. I would give each of my aunts/uncles/cousins about 50 k a piece. I'd give my close friends and close relatives like 500 k or 1 m. Then after that I'm done. It's cheaper to partition it. Or go the "ill buy you a house route" that way you don't feel guilty if they get a drug habit from the money aspect.

I wouldn't give a gently caress. You don't understand my lack of empathy for em man. Like, after I give you you're money, go the gently caress home and leave me alone. They don't fine, I'll have the security guards at the gate tase them. The point is that the family members that really care wont bother you after you help them out.

If you win the lottery, the correct move is 'tell no one(except for your spouse, but make sure they're also not going to tell anyone else) and don't go on a conspicuous consumption spree'. As a bonus, the estate fight will be extra hilarious when you die. "Grandpa Salty Josh had how much money?  "

it's not really about empathy for them. You have like double-digits multiplier chance of getting murdered, sued or kidnapped after getting gently caress-you-rich. Your dear old aunt will try to sue you because nephew tommy stubbed his toe in your pool, etc.

I thought it was a no go that route since the media or someone like that finds out from the state. If anonymity is a thing then gently caress yes. That is always the choice.

Gift tax just reduces your estate exemption which is like 10 million now. So no you won't get shredded if you give away 1 to 2 mil. (This is USA I'm taking about and I assume you all are too). There's only actual tax to pay after that 10 to 11 mil point. I'd still just set up trusts or annuities though. I will probably never be rich.
