If you take the standard deduction, the only reason you have to file a return is because Grover Norquist and Intuit want you to keep doing it. The former so you'll hate taxes and the latter so you'll pay them to do it for you. https://buff.ly/2JL3kuZ

Thought on Mastodon v. big 2 social media: birb & facey have conditioned us to "want" certain things out of "social media" and a lot of that is:
🔹 likes
🔹 followers
🔹 constant stream of content
Basically, it's evolved into more a marketing media than the social media in began as:
🔸 a place to feel comfortable
🔸 share interests
🔸 have conversations
🔸 have income-independent fun.
I don't know if mastodon will get me back to that, but I hope so, and I want to be open to it.

Moon was one of my favorite movies. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1182345/ Just rewatched the first 5 minutes to be reminded that Kevin Spacey was in it. I don't know if I can ever watch it again. ☹️

Get find 😬
I wish I could get find Science Mastodon the way there is Science Twitter.
2019 is cute but I meant 2049 which is more dystopian.
Still working through Bladerunner 2019. Major sexism + otherwise excellent film. Ryan Gosling was on point.
I mean it's a long movie.
Based on my current life expectancy, will I live to see the end of Bladerunner 2049?

I got on here from #metafilter and I like the hatelessness of being on a Nazi-free German instance of this. #introductions
