I don’t think it’s Opuntia because it’s not segmented in the main trunk. Most likely Consolea rubescens

Only federally. State filing isn’t free

My income is disability, and falls below the poverty line so I don’t technically need to file. I like to file just to make sure i have a record, but damn all the free programs were trying to make me pay out of pocket to file in my state. I’m sure most people are happy to spare the $35 or so for the ease of using software, but not having money at all makes the cost seem absurd. And there’s no reason for these companies to care that I can’t afford it, considering people going to pay that cost because for most the penalty of not filling taxes is much, much higher than the cut those programs take.

They aren’t calling you a troll, they’re offering a reason that Lemmy.world doesn’t allow VPNs

I’ve heard they can at least survive a fall onto snow lol

I’ve disconnected the doorbell at every place I’ve lived in the last 10 years. If I’m expecting you I’ll be waiting and opening the door for you, everyone else can leave a message or find a different way to contact me

Bandcamp is what my bands like to use. They often have events (Bandcamp Fridays) where 100% of purchases go to the artists. Some bands also make decent money off merch sales from their own storefronts

Since day one, we have stood with the artist community against piracy, and we are actively working with our industry partners to protect creators and defend their rights.

Lmao. They protect and defend artist rights so hard they they’ve refused to pay a fair compensation, and have taken it further by promoting AI artists over actual artists. This statement is almost comical after it was reported that they’ve had copy cats to replace King Glizard and the Lizard Wizard when they pulled their albums from Spotify

I hear an ancient voice, whispering from the Void, and it chills my lightless heart

Sometimes I forget I have a video game tattoo lmao

Countries with extensive cctv networks still have lots of crime, almost like surveillance is the wrong answer to lowering crime or something

Right? The text service I use doesn’t allow video. Sometimes it won’t allow large photos either lol

There’s four justices over the age of 70 (one is Sotomayor). Not that age means much in regards to mortality when one has the resources that they do
